About the event

Eurosession with a Scandinavian flavour
Music and dancing; a tonic to turn and return to!

Whether you’ve been away to a festival or travels, or at home Sheffield, we invite you to return to Eurosession for another boost of music and dancing. In August the session will be preceded by a Scandinavian dance workshop, characterised by turning couple dances of various styles. See more about the workshop below.

From 9pm we move into an eclectic Eurosession. As usual, you can contribute dance tunes, request your favourite dance, or relax, get a drink, and chat. Newcomers welcome. Bring an instrument if you’d like to play in the session. For dancing, we recommend wearing comfortable flat-soled shoes that can turn easily.

About the workshop
Polska is a distinctive turning couple dance of Sweden, with variants across Sweden, and further across Scandinavia. In this workshop we’ll begin with an invitation to chose from three options of a Scandi smorgasboard: a) polska practice, b) secrets of slängpolska, or c) fantastic finnskog.
For more about these options see the event info at https://eurosession.org.uk. If you’ve a strong preference, then arrive promptly!

This workshop is brought to you by Susannah Diamond and Lucy Huzzard. Susannah has been passing on dance tips at Eurosession (and beyond) for many years and will lead the workshop. Lucy Huzzard is a barrel of awesomeness, having studied dance in Sweden, and co-founded the Third Beat Collective, as well as being a talented and eclectic musician and performer, (see duo Lucy & Hazel). Lucy will play for the workshop as well as injecting a sprinkling of dance wisdom.

Donations
If you aren’t contributing by teaching or playing music, then we suggest £5 for the workshop and/or the session. Any extra helps us to offer affordable entry to our sessions and bals, and fair fees to teachers and musicians. We accept cash or PayPal transfers (see our donations page).

Caring for others
We welcome diversity in our community, and encourage you to look out for everyone's well-being.

Get more involved
If you like organising gigs, planning workshops, or getting publicity out, then we’d love to hear from you. We do have several workshops in the pipeline, but if you’d like to try playing for, or teaching a workshop, then do also get in touch.

See you soon,
** Eurosesh
