Scandinavian Folk Dancing is taught in the greater Sacramento area in short courses of four to six sessions each, with breaks for holidays during the class period. The class covers basic and some intermediate level dances, as well as good dance technique. Advanced dances may be requested during the request period, but generally the class will emphasize more fundamental skills. No previous experience is required. Singles & couples are welcome. Partners are rotated frequently to speed the learning process and give everyone a chance to participate. Classes began in November 2006 and continue through the present.
The next two class series will be taught in Cameron Park.
Session 1: Mondays July 6 - July 27, 2009
Session 2: Thursdays August 6 - 27, 2009
Classes will be meet at the Cameron Park Community Center, 2502 Country Club Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682. (530) 677-2231.
Cost: $28.00/ for each four class session. Send registration form and payment to the center at the address above, or for online registration visit: http://www.cameronpark.org/

Future classes will meet during weekday evenings in the greater Sacramento area. If there is enough interest, classes may be offered in more than one location or on more than one day of the week.
Bring smooth soled shoes; low heels with arch support are best. For men, a broken-in pair of leather dress shoes with a smooth sole works well. For women, a sturdy leather shoe with a low heel and smooth sole will work. Avoid wearing shoes with all-rubber soles, as they don't allow for easy turning. Dress for comfort. Water is available in the classroom, but bring a cup or bottle.
Beginner dances and fundamentals: 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Request dancing: 8:00 - 8:30 pm
Intermediate dances & review of beginner dances: 8:30 - 9:30 pm
