Happening This Week:
April 23rd, 2018

Hello dance friends,

Last week we had a look, and tried our hand, at Bondpolska fr. Viksta through the lens of Lyle and Juanita. It was such a good evening we are going to take a second look at that fine dance. Several of us struggled with the steps, but others of us managed to get a grip on them. In either case it appeared we had fun going down that road. Let’s look at it again this week.

The deejay this week is the noteworthy Mr. Carl Thor who we can rely on to get us through an evening of dance in fine style. In addition, it’s my understanding that Kim Majors will lead up another Allspel for us playing tunes for dances we have learned. Live music is special!

Also new tonight- the unveiling of our new shoebags! Heavyweight 14oz. cotton with the NR logo. Just $10!

Doors open at 7 p.m., and lessons begin at 7:30 p.m.
See you there!

Become a Member - It's a Great Deal

Yearly membership for Norske Runddansere is $60 per year, starting October 1st. This is a fabulous dance deal (little more than $1/week). Memberships are pro-rated if you join later in the year- starting January 1st it is only $45. It's never to late to join and start saving.

Thank You Musicians and DJs!

A big thanks to those who play tunes for us every Monday!

Donations Welcome

Why? These days our membership fees are just almost enough to meet our expenses. We didn't want to raise them this year, so we're putting a donation jar on the entry table and hoping for the best! If you can help, thank you!
