Unleash your inner Viking - free Skandia folkdance lessons

Free Scandinavian dance workshop

Saturday, February 2, from 10:30am – 12:00pm, unleash your “inner Viking” at the Cedar Valley Grange, 20526 – 52nd Ave W. (between Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood). Join Skandia Folkdance Society instructors, Elaine Mathies and Larry Reinert, for a free beginner’s class and a rollicking good time.

You don’t need a partner for this class, or a dance background (just good humor, and the desire to relax and have fun). Low-heeled shoes that turn easily will be helpful, but they’re not required. The class is geared to participants from the age of 12 to adults of any age.

Skandia is a well-respected organization dedicated to preserving the folk and music traditions of Scandinavia. Since 1949, Skandia teachers have studied folk dance in Scandinavia and taught thousands of people in the U.S. and Canada to dance. Best of all, Skandia holds live music dances twice monthly at the Cedar Valley Grange! Learn more about Skandia.

While there is no charge for the class, they would appreciate a courtesy call in advance to help in planning. Contact Judy at 206-784-8959, to say “count me in!” (or, if you won’t know until the last minute, just come to the workshop).
