Happening May 13th, 2019Hello dance friends - Time to Hambo!
That birthday ball last week went off very well. Some fine, talented musicians played livening up the evening for an enthusiastic family of dancers. This week will be another special that we hold on a regular basis. Our event we call Hambo Fest takes place this Monday and begins at 7:30 pm. There is an hour of instruction from the bottom up and then our host, Bill Hoyland, will focus on this dance for the remainder of the evening. Sometimes referred to as the national dance of Sweden, Hambo is a graceful, lively turning, twirling partner dance. Everybody likes Hambo. There always seems to be interest in this dance It is even seen with some regularity at contra dances. Teachers will be Allen and Kim. As you may know, we are located at Nordia House, 8800 SW Oleson Road in Portland. Come earlier if you like. Bring a friend, bring a neighbor, bring a neighbor’s friend. We’ll be looking for you! Lessons begin promptly at 7:30, and you don’t want to be late. The initial steps are critical to your success in learning Hambo. If you’re snoozing, you’re losing….out.
