We have learned many tunes for Bondpolska från Viksta, a dance and type of tune from Uppland where were are studying. We had a dance session where the musicians and dancers were scheduled together, and spent the time playing the tunes so the dancers could feel the rhythm and power. We mostly played Gåsvikarn and Jag Var Full, some very powerful tunes.  Dancers felt the rhythm by listening while walking or dancing, or by touching us as we played.

It was a beautiful morning with sun streaming in the windows.

The ESI dance teachers use a hold between the partners in Bondpolska från Viksta that is different from the one I have used at Uppdansning.
