Do your feet speak Danish? They can learn March 8 in Shoreline

On the Danish island of Fanø, wedding parties don traditional folkwear.
For the dance workshop, the dress code is less formal... and more comfortable

Do your feet speak Danish?  They can learn March 8!

Saturday evening, March 8, 2014, from 7 – 10 pm, Skandia Folkdance Society invites one and all to a special community event — Danish dance night in Shoreline. Skandia instructors will teach easy Danish folk dances that are simple to master and appropriate for any skill level.

Come see how the Danes spend those long winter nights! Suggested donation of $5 per person ($10 per family). 

Location: LDS Meeting House, 14901 - 30th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155 (map)

“Danish dances have been passed on in villages for generations, and they’re truly easy to master,” says Skandia dancer and fiddler, Martha Levenson, “and best of all, the music is glorious!”

Martha spent time last summer in Denmark, learning music from the renowned folk musician, Peter Uhrbrand. He lives on the island of Fanø, in a settlement which was established in the 1600’s, and lies just west of Denmark. Peter represents several generations of musical tradition bearers and likes nothing better than a good Danish dance evening. In the afternoon before the dance workshop, Martha and other local musicians will be sharing Danish dance tunes and jamming with an important goal in mind: to be the best-ever “house band” for your evening dance workshop. Anyone wanting to join in the musical fun may call 206-794-0656 for details.

This is your chance to bring kids and friends for a great night of dancing. Expect a first-class warm welcome and a mood-elevating good time. For more information about the dance evening, please call Judy at 206-784-8959 or visit the Skandia webpage.
