Hi all,

I hope you have already heard about this fabulous weekend coming up soon.

The annual spring Scandinavian weekend at Folklore Village in Dodgeville, WI will take place 4-6 April. I believe there is still room available. Hurry to make your reservation so that you are not left out wishing you had signed up earlier.

This year will focus on Swedish dance and music with Stig and Helén Eriksson, from Östergötland, Sweden and Isabell Svärdmalm and Eva Thorsell Hansson on fiddle and song. They have made a new recording for the dances and music will be presented.

If you are not familiar with the folks from Sweden: They are all dancers and they are all musicians and members of Klintetten. Stig & Helén have been the featured teachers at both of the week long Scandinavian camps as well as workshops around the USA. They have a delightful and clear teaching style and make everything fun.

There will be a variety of dances and tunes taught. Dancers and musicians of all levels welcomed.

Dust off your shoes and instruments and join us for a great weekend at Folklore Village.

If you haven't been to Folklore Village before, now is the time to join in. Spring will be bursting on the beautiful rolling lands around folklore Village. The sun will shine brightly in Farewell Hall and we will be thriving with dance and music around.

For more information see www.folklorevillage.org or call Folklore Village at 608-924-4000. You can reserve your spot and even pay with a credit card by calling Folklore Village directly.

There are bunk houses for men and women and camping on site. Many folks stay in local motels only a short distance from Folklore Village in Dodgeville. Note: The local motels give a discount to Folklore Village attendees! Lucky us!

Looking forward to seeing you all in a few short weeks.

Roo
