Thule Swedish Folk Dance Team To Begin New Classes

Katie Peterson and Sarah Goebel will teach gammaldans (old dances) bygdedans (village dances) as well as new dances when Thule Swedish Folk Dance Team practices begin Sept. 3. Classes will be held at the Fluvanna Community Church at 7 p.m. Tuesdays. The focus will be on waltz, schottis, reinlender and polka. Hambo will also be reintroduced. Singles, couples and beginners are welcome. The group changes partners frequently and anyone can do either role. Those attending should bring shoes with smooth soles and low flat heels, preferably leather, for easy turning. Call 716-489-4646 or 716-450-2986 for more information.
