We plan to try to schedule one dance each month, either on a Saturday evening or a Sunday afternoon. Beginners and experienced dancers are welcome. Our program will include dances for all skill levels, including some easy old-time Scandinavian dances as well as some more challenging dances. Requests will be incorporated in the program. Brief teaching will be available upon request.
Where our dances are held:
- PACC: Arlington's Park Ave Congregational Church
- 50 Paul Revere Road, Arlington, Mass, USA map directions
For further information, please call Erica at 781-891-3207 or send email to Eph (Eph@ieee.org).

Musicians might be interested in checking out the phenomenon of sharable, emailable music using the ABC notation. I have a music directory / that is full of music in ABC notation; the Scand subdirectory contains some Scandinavian tunes that the Boston gang plays.
