Their repertoire embraces traditional and relatively contemporary dances from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland and also a few from Estonia. As pupils, they have attended Nordic dance workshops in Denmark, Sweden, USA and UK. Roger is also a regular caller for the Canberra Contra Club. The workshop will focus on easily learned Nordic dances, traditional and fairly recently composed, done in circles of couples, square sets, longways couples’ sets, and lines. A few more challenging couples’ turning dances that feature strongly in those countries will be illustrated by Roger and Christine and potentially taught if the majority so wish.
