If you are starting to forget how to dance (like me!) you might want to sign up for two online dance events that happen every other Wednesday. Here's the information on how to sign up for online and in-person lessons:
Skandia Seattle’s 1st and 3rd Friday dances (in-person and virtual). Teaching from 7:30-8 pm. Free to join by Zoom, donations to Skandia encouraged. See: skandia-folkdance.org/activities
Scandinavian Dancers of Vancouver, BC. Weekly wednesday dances. At 8 pm Pacific: Lesson followed by dancing to recorded music.
