Edmonds, WALocal News

Skandia Folk Dance Society is set to host two prominent dance events in September at Cedar Valley Grange, with ticket prices of $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. The first event on Sept. 5 will showcase the hambo, a traditional Swedish dance taught by instructors Harry Khamis and Lisa Brooks, with live music from Tinnfelen. The second dance on Sept. 19 will feature Hyfs, led by Kelly and Nancy, and performed to lively polka music played by Finnish musicians Marianne Maans and Pekka Pentikäinen.

These events not only highlight cultural traditions but also encourage community participation in folk dancing. Additionally, a First Saturday Zoom Jam is scheduled for Sept. 6, inviting musicians and singers to join via registration. Participants can access a folder containing notes for many of the tunes played during the jam. For more information on these events and others in the Seattle area, visit the Skandia Folk Dance Society website.

The society continues to foster interest in traditional dances and cultural heritage through these engaging community activities.
