Description:
Monday Night Scandinavian Dancing will offer a series of classes focusing on basic Scandinavian dance skills and accessible, fun dances. Learn the secrets of maintaining your own balance while connecting with your partner and turning effortlessly. The best part is, Scandinavian dance skills transfer to most other couple dance forms, so you will not only be learning new dances, you will be enhancing the ones you already know! We will begin with Telegangar, a Norwegian walking dance that is reminiscent of country swing in a relaxed tempo, and introduce pivots, one of the basic building blocks of Scandinavian turning dances. Pivots are also very useful in waltz and other couple dances. In the following weeks we will add schottis, basic polska, stigvals, hambo and Rørospols. The classes will build on each other, week to week, so it is helpful to come regularly. It would be helpful to receive registrations by the end of August to facilitate our planning. Register at 303-499-7262 or nellinghaus@juno.com. No need to bring a partner, as we change partners often, but do bring hard soled shoes because they make this dancing much easier. We usually have live music on fiddle, nyckelharpa and button accordion.
Note: This is a series of classes focusing on basic Scandinavian dance skills and accessible, fun dances.
