As the level of the dancers improve, so does the figures performed become more elaborate and complicated and with the constant change of partner calls, make the dance fun and exciting for the dancers, as well as spectators who view the dance. **8.30pm – 9.30pm** **\*\*\* CLASS #3: BACHATA** *(Absolute Beginner to Improver Level)* \* No experience or partner necessary - all welcome \- Bachata is the second most popular Latin dance around the world after Salsa **CLASS COST:** Casual/Drop-in attendance: Any Main class - $20 per class Any 2 Classes on the night - $30 for both classes or Do ALL CLASSES on the night for only $35! ***\* Please note:*** We only accept **CASH** on this night **CLOTHING & SHOES:** Comfortable casual clothing.

What is Anxiety? Free educational only meetup. All to many people experience anxiety symptoms. Some have it once in a while whilst all too many others continue to experience more then is considered healthy. Without factual knowledge about how the mind works anxiety can be experienced by any of us and strike at any time. Therefore all people are encouraged to attend. Today's meetup is not to diagnose, treat or cure. Its educational. So would you not like to know what anxiety is? and what it is you can actually do about all your unwanted conditions so that you can be free. The education shared today is not related to Faith, Psychology or Psychiatry. It's related to Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health. By L. Ron Hubbard. If you ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be, you were right. The Answers related to any condition that you don't like about yourself and want to handle can be found in this book. ***** What is Anxiety? Every problem can have a YES, a NO or a MAYBE as its answer. A person is as sane as he has YESES and NOES and as he does not have MAYBES. The number of maybes which a person is carrying in his mind is directly proportional to the extreme foolishness or irrationality which he is demonstrating. Now, you get what i mean? A fellow says "well, I- shall I go downtown? If he says yes or no, he gets action or no action. If he says maybe, he gets turbulence. Now, life consists of action or no action - just these two things. And as a result you get turbulence when a state of beingness or a state of not -beingness cannot be entered with regards to any particular subject. "Was it my fault or wasn't it my fault?" is the toughest of those problems. "Was she to blame or wasn't she to blame?" And when these things hang up on maybes on major problems, an individual becomes uncertain. Anxiety is simply the state of maybeness. It's "what will happen if ...?" That's Anxiety. "What will happen if....?" A person then doesn't have a yes or a no. He has an inaction category which is a turbulent category. (Category here means each of a possibly exhaustive set of classes among which all things might be distributed.) He does not dare act because he does not have an answer. The smooth functioning of a mind, reaction time, the ability of an individual to be decisive and therefore to be in action, is dependent upon his capability of handling problems in yes or no categories. You want to get an individual unstuck, clean up his maybes Now there are several ways to clean up maybes. One of them is just get him to face the problem with current data. that's all. Face the problem with current data and reevaluate and re predict from the point where he hung up in the maybe. He made a decision once: was it right one or the wrong one? And that is the start of the maybes. He made the decision once: was it the right one or the wrong one? Now he gets afraid to make decisions, so he hangs these decisions up in maybe, and there's the anatomy of it. ***** All people of goodwill are welcome at this meetup or at any time. We are open 7 days each week 9am till 10pm Monday till Friday and Saturday and Sunday 9am till 6pm You may also wish to tune into Scientology network TV at www.scientolgy.tv If you feel too anxious to attend or can simply not be their at this time than call or SMS us on 0412 812 611. Order the book Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health and we will send it out to you. (free postage)
