    details: "Neem je instrument en dansschoenen/sokken mee en kom 20 april met ons muziek maken en dansen - een mix van balfolk en zweeds dansen!\n\nWij (Hester en Anne-Wietske) willen graag meer samen muziek maken en dansen, en dat wordt natuurlijk nog leuker als jij ook komt meedoen! We willen graag een plek creëren waar muzikanten en dansers van alle leeftijden en niveaus elkaar laagdrempelig kunnen ontmoeten.\n\nWe starten om 15 uur met een dansworkshop (Anne-Wietske) en muziekworkshop (Hester) zodat ook muzikanten en dansers die geen balfolk of zweedse dans- en muziekervaring hebben kunnen meedoen. Daarna spelen de aanwezige muzikanten voor de dansers tijdens het bal (je kan je ter plekke aanmelden voor de 'speellijst'). Kinderen kunnen aanhaken in de workshops, meedansen op het bal óf lekker knutselen in onze knutselhoek.\n\nEntree: 7 euro (kinderen gratis)"

    details: "Dansen is altijd een feestje.\nDansen met live muziek is dubbel feest.\nEn Zweeds dansen met live muziek is wat ons betreft een nog groter feest.\n\nOp deze zondagmiddag kun je lekker zwieren en zweven op de dansvloer met dansen zoals hambo, schottis, diverse polskor en wals.\n\nNa een drie heerlijke middagen met muziek van Duo Noordwest in oktober en Sparv in december en een bruisende middag in februari met meer dan 10 muzikanten, is het deze keer de beurt aan de Hunebend.\n\nDe Hunebend bestaat uit Michele van Baaren en Marieke van der Hoek op viool en Joke Bakker op cello. Zij spelen prachtige Zweedse dansmuziek, traditioneel én eigen creaties, die je later thuis ook kunt beluisteren op hun CD Bortlängtan.\n\nIn het eerste deel van deze middag (ca. 3 kwartier) zullen er een aantal basispassen van verschillende Zweedse dansen worden uitgelegd. Na iedere uitleg kan deze dans dan door iedereen gedanst of verder geoefend worden.\nNB. het is géén apart workshop-blok. We verweven de uitleg in het bal, zodat iedereen vanaf het begin mee kan doen.\n\nHeb je vragen: mail of bel ons: info@elskehoen.nl of 06-57251909\n\nWe stellen het op prijs als je je vooraf aanmeldt.\n\nAlle informatie is te vinden op:\nhttps://dansplezier.wordpress.com/zweeds-dansfeest-2023-2024/"

  - name: Scandinavian Weekly Dance
    details: "The weekly Monday Night Scandinavian Dance continues in the new year. Learn Scandinavian couple dancing (polskas and pols). We teach the first hour, followed by open dancing, usually with live music. \nNo partner needed, just low-friction, hard-soled shoes so that you will be able to pivot (spin) on the beautiful Avalon floors. Pivoting easily and frequently is necessary for fast-turning Polska and Pols dances. These classes build skills from week to week so one should try and attend regularly. 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 – check The Avalon dance calendar)!"
