Skandia Folkdance Society's Virtual & Live Third Friday Nordic dance

About this event

Skandia's Third Friday night dance in September will be both live AND virtual! The dance is held at the **Cedar Valley Grange, 20526 52nd Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036**. You can choose to attend in person or via Zoom. Singles welcome as well as couples. First timers can attend for free! Nancy Neuerburg and Kelly Britz will teach Hyfs, a dance from Föllinge, Sweden. This fun and energetic dance is done to polka music. It starts off with a stigvals-type step in both directions, then moves to a bakmes similar to Kall, also in both directions! See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asJkspG3u4E And: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3RdBPwzYVM The evening's first half will feature The Gnomes, an always popular band. Their energy and musicality will make for a lively hour -- don't forget your water bottle! The second half will be a gathering of long-time fiddle friends and a fundraiser for Skandia. Irene Myers will be joined by outstanding Nordic fiddler Andrea Hoag and other exceptional music pals from her new CD “Vänner” (Swedish for “Friends”).
