Thank You Musicians and DJs!A big thanks to those who play tunes for us every Monday! We’re looking for people who want to fill the vital role of DJ for our dance evenings. Training will be provided if you’re new to this role. Please email us at info@norkserunddansere.org if you’re interested…and our heartfelt gratitude in advance!
Donations Welcome (click here)Why? Our membership fees are just almost enough to meet our expenses. Our rent went up very significantly a couple of years ago, and we will still have a donation jar on the entry table. If your budget allows, would you please consider adding a little extra to your membership dues? If you can help, we thank you so very much!
We also have our own teaching DVDs for sale (set of two for $10) and our sturdy shoe bags for $10 each if you want to contribute that way! (click here) Everyone is Welcome!Norske Runddansere does not discriminate. Anyone is welcome to join us- all you need is a willingness to give it a try.

Happening this week 6.5.2023Hello dance friends,
This has been a busy and exciting season of dance at NR as we ease out of the COVID mode. We’ve covered a good number of good dances. I look forward to the day we can don the masks and see each other’s smiling face that comes from the joy of dance. As we wind down our season of teaching the next two weeks will focus on taking a second look at the dances covered since the beginning of the year. The review is limited to those teachers who are available, so we’re unable to cover all of the dances taught. We do what we can and we’ll do our best. This first week this will feature those three dances taught by Dave Charlebois. Those would be Mellparing, Atabaks polska and Gammalpolska. And Finnskogpols will be reviewed by Allen and Juanita. We’ll enjoy the talent of our musicians who play for us every week. We are so fortunate that they are willing to provide an exceptional atmosphere for our pleasure. As always, soft-soled shoes work best for these dances. So pack them up and come join us at 7:15 pm at Nordia House. We’ll be pleased to see you there. Well-fitting masks are still required for all NR dance events, plus one of the following: proof of vaccination including booster OR proof of a day-of-event negative Covid test.www.norskerunddansere.org/covid_protocols.html Upcoming Events*June 12: Pre-dance Potluck Picnic at the home of Deb Kelly! We’ll celebrate the wrap-up of our teaching season with a warm get-together before the evening dance. 4 pm; further details below:

In January our pro-rate schedule begins, and we also have other special discounts for those who need it, like students. It's never too late to join and start saving.
