Dance Workshop
Learn Hambo & SNOA
Saturday, Sept. 27,
2008
1-4:30 pm
Here’s your chance to learn Hambo, the national
dance of Sweden played at most Contra dances. It will be paired with Snoa, the
wonderful turning dance that’s essential to many other Scandinavian dances.
Taught by some of Portland’s best, these two dances will give you a great
introduction to the delightful world of Scandi dancing. The evening dance will
include plenty of Hambos, Snoas, mixers and many other great dances.
Pre-registration is encouraged. Space is
limited!
Workshop – FREE
Dance – $12
