This fall, Skandia and the Swedish Club will co-sponsor Nordic dances after the Sunday pancake breakfasts at the Swedish Club. Our first dance, in September, had 27 people, including many new dancers, with lots of energy and enthusiasm.
The next dances will be 1–3 p.m. on December 7, and January 4. The dances will be fun and easy, including waltz, schottis, mixers, hambo, and telegangar. Some short teaching sessions (mixers, Rørospols) will be interspersed through the afternoon. We will have live music!
The focus is on beginners; advanced dancers are also welcome. Singles and couples are welcome. We will change partners frequently, and anybody can do either role.
Bring clean shoes to change into, with smooth soles and low, flat heels for easy turning. If you don’t have dance shoes, we have dance socks to help you turn easily. The cost for the dance will be $10. Come and eat, then dance! Buy tickets to the pancake breakfast in advance on EventBrite: www.eventbrite.com/e/pancake-breakfast-tickets-706173803857, or at the door, if available.
