Planning ahead - dance your shoes off at Vinterdansen Feb 21

Bruce Sagan and the nyckelharpa

Friday, February 21, from 8 – 11pm, Skandia Folkdance Society hosts Vinterdansen at the Cedar Valley Grange, 20526 – 52nd Ave. W. in Lynnwood. Admission is $15.

Special guest Bruce Sagan is an internationally renowned fiddler and composer. A master of many folk instruments, Bruce plays flat fiddle, the unique Norwegian hardanger fiddle, and the centuries old Swedish nyckelharpa. Come see why a jury of Swedish music experts awarded him a bronze medal, and why music critics say that he plays “som en inföding”— like a native.

Several fine local musicians will join Bruce for the evening, including the duo, Paradocs, who specialize in Norwegian folk music, Skolkis, a hot, high-energy pan-Scandinavian quartet, and the talented Irene Myers and Peter Michaelsen.

The Grange has a lovely dance floor, and dancers of all levels are welcome. Expect kindred folks, delicious food, and a program with easy-to-master dances. Don’t be shy, if you are a novice, and do come, even if you simply want to sit and enjoy the music and tasty food! For more information, call Judy at 206-784-8959.
