The Scandinavian Folkdancers of Phoenix

The Scandinavian Folkdancers of Phoenix The Scandinavian Folk Dancers of Phoenix is a group made up of metro-Phoenix-area residents who enjoy and perform Scandinavian Folk Dance.

The Scandinavian Folk Dancers of Phoenix is a community dance group that meets bi-weekly during most of the year (we take summers off) for dance practice. We perform a range of Scandinavian folk dances, all beginner-friendly and lots of fun. Past performance locations have included community centers, churches, Sons of Norway events, and even Ikea. A performance at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) is planned for December 2017. Both singles and couples are welcome, don't worry if you don't have a bunad or folk costume, we can figure that out later. Come meet us and get a bit of exercise and a whole lot of fun with a friendly group of people! (Please check this FB page or contact us directly for further info regarding practice location, dates, etc.)

While traveling in New Jersey my wife and I attended the Scandinavian Festival at Vasa Park in Budd Lake New Jersey on Sept 6, 2026. I'm now instructing the Scandinavian Folkdancers of Phoenix,but my roots go back to this location. Participating at the park from ages 6-22 in such events there as Barnens Dag(Children's day), youth Jamboree of VASA District 6, Leif Ericson Day Parade and numerous other events. It was a pleasure sharing the day with great friends from the past. Special thanks to Helen Smith (Lewerth), a partner from children's club days, for lettting my wife and me stay at her place. I addition, it was great that Eddie Hendela continues to have magical fingers to create the wonderful traditional music with the Spirit of Scandinavia ensemble. To dance Schottis, Hambo, Polkas and Waltzes with Nancy Hendela, Evelyn and Carol Johnson as well as the other ladies that I roped in, to the Spirit of Scandinavia's accompaniment was wonderful. It was great experiencing the park again!

We performed for the the Sons of Norway, Desert Fjord lodge in January. The response from our Scandinavian brethren when we dance is always warm and appreciative. It is a great experience and I personally enjoy the good natured ribbing and rivalry of the Swedish vs. Norwegian tension.

As a Swede, If I hear "A hundred Swedes ran through the weeds, chased by one Norwegian" again, it will be too soon.
