Sabktba Lucia

We all know the Lucia song, and most of us have tried walking in a row and singing along. But how many have tried dancing in a circle and singing along? Yes, that's a good question. After Sanktba Lucia, the number has probably increased by a good handful.

The evening will unfold as follows:

• 19:30 – doors and bar open
• 20:00 – the ball begins!
• 22:30 – jam session
• 23:30 – the ball ends; if you're not ready to leave, you'll be put to work cleaning up

What is a folk dance ball?

Three bands from the north (we have guests from across the Øresund) will be playing traditional Nordic folk music for the ball. The musicians will play and set the tone for the evening's dances. There will be a mix of partner dances and group dances, so don't hesitate if you've never tried folk dancing before; the musicians and experienced dancers will guide you through the group dances.

What is a jam session?

If you play an instrument, bring it along! In traditional style, we will end the evening with an open jam session, where anyone who wants to can join the musicians on stage and play along.

If you don't play music, you can continue to keep the floor alive.

Lucia Day:

To brighten up this dark time of year, we encourage people to think positively. Whether that means wearing a white dress, a wreath in your hair or just having a warm personality is up to you. The only requirement is that you want to have fun (and maybe drink a little coffee punch, but no pressure).

Come alone or bring your friends – whether you are an experienced dancer, a beginner or just curious, you are welcome to experience the magic and community of a folk dance ball in 2025.

We look forward to seeing you for an unforgettable Sanktba Lucia!
