Friday, April 4, 2025 Nancy and Kelly will teach two fun dances, Bondpolska från Överhärde and Hambo från Oviken, Svedåker’s
variant. The lead’s turning step is similar in both dances. The Bondpolska från Överhärde can also be danced to a
polska från Viksta tune. Music for this evening will be played by the LAB trio (Anna & Leslie on nyckelharpa, plus Bill on keyboard and fiddle), joined by Patrick Gunning (guitar and fiddle). Look for a lot of great dance rhythms and a range of fun textures.
Friday, April 18, 2025 Jerry and Lisa will review Springleik fra Vågå. This flowing dance from Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, has wonderful “dive” in its svikt, and that motion continues in all parts of the dance. See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6EnoYNnJVY.
Music for this evening will be played by long-time Seattle dance musicians Folk Voice Band, headed up by Birgit
and Phil Ages. They will get everybody on their feet with fun mixers and easy dances!
