May 3, 2024 Judy Patterson and Jerry Walsh will review Valdresspringar, to reinforce the learning people did at the January workshops. This fun and energetic dance from Norway is done to mesmerizing hardingfele music. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBdyC5JXthA The Seattle Lilla Spelmanslag will play for the first part of the evening, covering a wide selection of polskor, pols, and gammaldans. This will be their last show under Martha’s direction, so don’t miss this chance to hear them! Kvinnene, an all-women hardingfele group, will play the second part of the dance. You’ll have a chance to practice your Valdresspringar, as well as Telespringar and other dances!
