Fifth Friday Bygdedans, 29 August

Extend your summer with a whole evening of Scandinavian village dances: polskor, pols, springleik, and springar! We have two duos lined up—Martha and Carol, and Peter and Vicki—plus some springars on the hardanger fiddle, and a surprise or two. The dance starts at 8 p.m. (no class beforehand) at the Epiphany Episcopal church (directions below). The intimate, informal relationship between musicians and dancers makes this one of our favorite dance parties!

Directions to Epiphany Chapel
From Highway 520, take the Montlake exit, cross 24th St to Lake Washington Blvd, and drive through the Arboretum. Cross Madison at the light and continue to 32nd Ave (marked by a yellow fire light). Turn right on 32nd; go down the hill past Martin Luther King Jr. School, and up the other side. At the "Do Not Enter" sign, take a sharp left turn uphill onto East Denny Way. At the top of the hill (34th Ave), bear left. The church is on the right side of Denny between 37th and 38th Aves; the address is 1805 38th Ave. The dance hall is on the second floor. Take the walkway past the church parking lot, and go to the second building on your left.
