Tucson VASA Swedish dancers

We are a group of Tucson dancers with a love of Swedish folk dancing. 
A few questions we often get are:

  • Do you only perform Swedish dances?

    • No!  We enjoy many dances from Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, &  beyond.

  • Do I need to be Swedish to join?

    • No!  Although some of our dancers have Swedish or Scandinavian heritage, many of us are here because we enjoy folk dancing.

  • What experience do I need to join?

    • None!  We welcome all dancers from beginners to advanced.

  • How do I join?​
