Ciao! C’est la vie. Clown and poetry. "To be yourself, just yourself, is a great thing. And how does one do it, how does one bring it about? Ah, that's the most difficult trick of all.

You try neither to be one thing or another, neither great nor small, neither clever nor maladroit... you follow me?" — Henry Miller, "The Smile at the foot of the Ladder" -No previous experience is required-…

Every month we have a social swing dance party in Sodal Hall. There is a free 30 minute crash course before the dance to get you up and moving. While we teach Lindy hop and Charleston in our weekly classes, our beginner lesson at this event is usually East Coast Swing. These dances are to DJed music. Free lesson: 7:30-8:00 PM Dance: 8:00-Midnight Price: $10 at the door ($5 for students)

Social Scandinavian dancing, mostly to live music. The evening is a blend of gammaldans (waltz, hambo, schottis....) and bygdedans (polskas and springars). Requests are honored if at all possible. Partners are not necessary, but we strongly recommend wearing hard-soled shoes, as it makes the dances both easier and more fun. There is no dance during the summer months, June, July and August.
