Learn the Åtabakspolska at the Skandia Third Friday Dance Jan 18

Seattle Spelmanslag will play for dance Jan 18

Skandia Third Friday Dance Jan 18 at the Cedar Valley Grange, 20526 52nd Ave W. Lynnwood 98036. 

Jerry Walsh and Judy Patterson will teach Åtabakspolska, a lovely polska from Jämtland, Sweden.

Once you grasp the pattern of this accessible dance, you’ll be glad you did. For those “what do I dance?" moments, try this on for size; you’ll be surprised at its versatility.

Teaching starts at 7:30pm. We hope to see you in class. After the class, the dance will have music by the Seattle Spelmanslag; you won't want to miss their big sound that's perfect for dancing.

In addition, there will be an excellent break set with more than one hardingfele, so you can practice your Norwegian moves!

Class, 7:30pm; dance, 8:30–11p.m. $15 (Skandia members, $10); kids, free.
