Oh no! Unfortunately, we've had to cancel our Summer Scandi Dance, which had been scheduled for 6 July 2013. There are just too many things going on.
Thanks for all your support over the year: it's been an amazing one for the Scandi dance. We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have.
Enjoy the summer!

Saturday 6 July -- Summer Scandi Dance
Our next event will be our Summer Dance on Saturday 6 July. It's a few months off, but please save the date. I'm hoping it won't be snowing...
I have been asked to teach Swedish vals and polka (yes, polka) -- let me know what you think (email)
In the meantime, I very much hope to see some of you at Scandimoot festival this weekend. We can't wait.

We're on, despite the snow!
The snow is still falling here in Ketton, but the dance is still going ahead at Tinwell Village Hall.
I'll post a notice here if the situations changes, and also email the mailing list.
Hope to see you there!

Meal tickets running out -- 3rd Anniversary Scandi
I'm delighted to say that we've been inundated with bookings for our 3rd Anniversary events on Saturday 23 March!
There are still plenty of spaces in the afternoon dance workshop in Bingsjö polska (but booking is advised). And we'll have plenty of space at the evening social dance too (no need to book).
UPDATE: Meal now fully booked
But I'm afraid we will only be able to cook for a few more people.
As of now, I will prioritise those who are booking for the afternoon
dance workshop as well as the evening dance. So if you want to come to
the afternoon workshop and join us for a fine home-cooked meal, then
please email me asap: ketton.scandi@gmail.com
If you can't eat with us, there are plenty of excellent places to eat nearby in Stamford, ranging from some wonderful restaurants and pubs to a reliable chippy. If you'd like some advice on places to eat, just get in touch.
