We dance for FUN, and enjoy the dances of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. We do a variety of folk dances, including set dances, mixers, and various couples dances (gammaldans, and a little bygdedans). We hope you'll come join us for one of our dances! Beginners are welcome.
Month-long dance classes are each focused on one type of basic dance, such as waltz, polka, or schottis, and also include several simple beginning dances.
We also hold semi-annual Scandinavian Dance workshops, where we have the chance to learn some new dances.
