Scandi Dancing

Scandi Dance!!!

Here is a partial list of Scandinavian events here in the Bay Area.  It is by no means complete, but it does give a good idea of the Scandinavian dancing that is here.  Many of these dances charge a small admission (generally less than $5.00) so it may be a good idea to contact them, or check out their Web Site ahead of time for more details and directions to the event.

My thanks to Michael Block, James Little, and Northern California Spelmanslag for this information.
