About the Workshop

Some find Scandinavian music and dance to be lyrical and flowing. Others find it to have drive and passion. Come and decide for yourself.

Join us for some non-partner, Covid-friendly dances to lovely and fun Norwegian and Swedish music. All of the dances can be done in small or large, carpeted or not, dance spaces with limited turning.

Roo has travelled extensively in Norway and Sweden studying dance and participating in dance and music events.
