Some find the music to be lyrical and flowing. Others find it full of drive and passion. Now you will have the chance to decide for yourselves. Included in this syllabus is a collection of dance "descriptions". Most likely there are more dances listed than we will have the time to dance. Hopefully the variety of dances to be presented suggests the extraordinary richness of the dance in Scandinavia. All of the dances incorporate turning of some sort Key themes of our classes will include developing balance both alone and as part of a dancing couple, and learning techniques for leading and following. We will expand our capacity for turning while learning skills for turning while dancing. The skills used for these dances are fun and often thought of as quite different from those used for other dances. The challenge of learning and dancing couple turning dances is, in my opinion, well worth the effort. I assume that everyone knows that the dance descriptions are intended as reminders of the dance experiences we have in class and on the dance floor. Please add notes to the descriptions that will help you to remember the dances. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to answer or help you. One may order Scandinavian recordings and music books from: Norsk Ltd., c/o Jofrid Sodal, 770 Linden Avenue, Boulder, Colorado_80304, (303) 442-6452, /~~---~~-- [email protected] ( http:/I ares.csd.net/,...,sodaling "', '---~ I look forward to meeting you all, and if possible, dancing With each every one of you. Please help me with this! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you some of my favorite dances. I do hope that you will enjoy them and have many more opportunities to dance Scandinavian dances.

Woman's L hand rests on the Man's R shoulder. Woman's R arm is bent at the elbow to make a right angle and her hand comes from below and up to hold on the Man's upper L arm, keeping her elbow in contact with the man's fore arm. Steps: For both forsteg/introductory or resting step and polska/one measure CW turning one steps only on counts 1 and 3. In the forsteg dance forward in LOD. For the polska, make one full CW turn in each measure stepping on counts 1 and 3 only, turning on the soles/balls of your feet to make the tum smoothly. Man: 1. L, 2. continue transferring weight, 3. R. Woman: 1. R, 2. continue transferring weight, 3. L. Dance sequence: 1. Dance forward with forsteg, use open waltz position. 2. Man turns the woman one full CW tum in each measure under his raised L arm while holding the woman's R hand. 3. Polska: Couple makes one full CW tum in each measure dancing face to face in closed position, use either closed waltz position or polska hold. Notes: 1. Man may emphasize the start of turn under, (sequence 2) and polska tum (sequence 3) by marking or emphasizing L step, on count 1 of the measure. 2. Note that the signal for the woman to begin either sequence 2 or 3 comes from a lead through the arms from the man to the woman before the emphasized step mentioned above. 3. The tum in the polska is accomplished by pivoting on the soles/balls of the feet between the steps. 4. There is no set number of measures for any part of the dance. However, one should use the phrasing of the music for changes. Character: Smooth, gliding, or flowing throughout the dance.
