Free Nordic Dance Classes at University Heights Center

The free Beginner Scandinavian dance class continues on Mondays on March 3, 10, 17, (not 24), and 31. It will keep going through June 9 (not April 14 or May 26). The class is from 7 to 9 p.m. in the University Heights Center, room 209 (top floor, north side). This is near the University of Washington, at 5031 University Way NE, Seattle. There is plenty of parking by the building. Use code 2850 to enter the building.

The focus is on beginners; advanced dancers are also welcome, as are singles and couples. We change partners frequently, and anybody can do either role. We will 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.

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. Show up any time; no need to pre-register.

Vaccines and boosters are strongly encouraged and everybody must wear masks.
