Details

This is a spontaneous, low-structure Meetup for anyone who wants to join an open-air dance at the Opera this Saturday, and maybe do something relaxed afterwards.
I am not running the dance event itself.

There is already a free community dance happening at Operahuset, and I am posting here so people from this group can meet up, go together, and make it easier to show up without going alone.

## The dance

There is a free community dance happening at Operahuset with bachata, salsa, zouk, kizomba, and similar styles.
You do not need a partner, and you do not need experience. You can dance, try a little, or just watch and enjoy the atmosphere.

Please check the Facebook page before you leave home.

## What I am offering

  • A meet-up point near the Opera so we can find each other
  • A friendly group if you would rather not go alone
  • An optional, flexible plan after dancing — maybe a swim in the Oslo fjord, food, or something else nearby

We decide together on the day based on weather, energy, and who shows up.

## Who’s welcome

Anyone who wants a relaxed Saturday with nice, spontaneous people.
You can join only for the dance and skip anything afterwards. We will likely speak a mix of English and Norwegian.

## When

Saturday 23 May 2026
Let’s meet around 14:50 near Operahuset so we can find each other before the dance gets going. The community event starts around 15:00.

## Where

Operahuset / Oslo Opera House
Kirsten Flagstads plass 1, 0150 Oslo
Use the Meetup map pin as a rough guide.
The exact meet-up spot — what I am wearing, which side of the building, etc. — will be posted in the WhatsApp group on the day. The dance area itself can be busy, so WhatsApp will make it much easier to find each other.

## WhatsApp — important for this event

For spontaneous events like this, WhatsApp is the best way to coordinate where we actually are.
Please join the WhatsApp group before Saturday. You can find the link here:
https://linktr.ee/martiniskovli
That is where I will post:

  • where I am standing before the dance
  • if the Facebook event is cancelled or we move
  • what the group feels like doing afterwards

If you are not on WhatsApp, you can still comment on this Meetup event, but joining the group makes coordination much easier.

## After the dance — optional and flexible

I would like to go for a swim somewhere if the weather is nice, maybe in the Oslo fjord.
Other suggestions are also welcome. We can decide together on the day.

## Cost

The Opera dance is free and community-organised.
Anything afterwards, such as swim entry, food, or drinks, is paid individually.

## RSVP

Please RSVP here so I know roughly who to look for.
Keep your RSVP updated if your plans change. Any group size is fine — it’s the people that matter.
Questions, concerns, or ideas? Comment here and I’ll reply when I can.
