About the classes
Classes are held in English. Participants from around the world are welcome.
In order to get as much as possible from the dance workshops, you need to be very familiar with Swedish gammaldans (i.e. hambo, vals, schottis, mazurka and polka).
Some experience with basic polska would also be helpful.
The fiddle instruction will be held at an intermediate to advanced level.
