Rørospols dance workshop on 6 October

The dance workshop on the afternoon of 6 October will be in Norwegian Rørospols, taught by Pat Lindop and me, Michael Cade-Stewart. Rørospols is a very popular dance in both Norway and Sweden. In Sweden (and England) it's often know as just "pols".

The dance is a fairly brisk polska-type dance, with a series of set moves that are usually danced in order (with no set timing for each move). It's varied and fun, and dancers are encouraged to introduce flourishes and variations once they've got the basics. We'll teach some of these in the workshop.

The workshop will be suitable for dancers of all abilities, and no partner needed. We recommend that you wear smooth-soled shoes that are comfortable to dance in, if possible.

2:45pm -- 5pm

For a full schedule of the day, see the earlier post: http://scandi-dance.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/october-scandi-dance.html
