Come and dance to beautiful Scandinavian fiddle tunes and live music. \nCome dance with us every Monday night (except when Monday falls on or very near a major holiday)!  We teach the first hour, followed by open dancing, usually with live music.","links":["https://boulderdance.org/event/scandinavian-basics-class-begins-2023-09-18/2024-11-25/"],"start":"2024-11-25T19:30:00-07:00","end":"2024-11-25T22:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CO","city":"Boulder","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"$7","organisation":"Boulder Scandinavian Dancers","source":"events/usa/boulder.yaml"},{"name":"Scandinavian Christmas Dance","details":"This night is our annual Christmas Dance.  This is always a fun time.\n   *   Live music, flat fiddle, hardingfele, and nyckelharpa\n   *   Please bring finger food to share, non-alcoholic drinks are also good\n   *   There will be glögg (alcoholic)\n   *   Costumes are appreciated but now necessary\n   *   Only $7\n   *   8 pm, Sodal Hall, The Avalon\n\nSocial Scandinavian dancing, mostly to live music.
