Seattle Nordic Dance and Music Meetup Group

Skandia and the Swedish Club are co-sponsoring Nordic dances after the first Sunday Pancake Breakfasts at the Swedish Club. Our first dances had many new dancers, with lots of energy and enthusiasm, and fabulous music! Based on this success, we are extending the fun through June.

Patrick Gunning
Time/Dates: 1–3 p.m. on January 4, (not Feb), March 1,
April 5, May 3, and June 7
Location: Swedish Club, 1920 Dexter Ave. N, Seattle, W
Cost: $10 per person

Hambo lesson! On January 4, we will start the dance with an hour of Hambo teaching. This classic Swedish dance is fun but requires teaching. No previous experience required.

The second hour will be regular dancing. The dances will be fun and easy, including Schottis, Waltz, and mixers. The focus is on beginners. Singles and couples are welcome. We change partners frequently, and anybody can do either role.

Bring clean shoes to change into, with smooth firm soles and low flat heels for easy turning. If you don't have dance shoes, we have dance socks to help you turn easily.

Send any questions to lisa@hambo.us or 206-258-2580.

The classes go from 7-9 pm on Mondays, at the University Heights Center near UW on January 5, 12, (not 19), and 26. Classes are FREE!

The focus is on beginners; advanced dancers are welcome as well. Singles and couples are welcome. We change partners frequently, and anybody can do either role. We cover basic turning skills and variants of Waltz, Pivot, Schottis, Hambo, and other lovely couple turning dances, as well as fun mixers. You are welcome to ask to work on specific dances.
