On hiatus for the summer - we'll resume on September 3rd!
The Nordic Dancers of Washington DC were founded in 1972 -- that's 53 years (and counting!) of dancing with and for excellent people!
We'll gradually add history and details here - as well as memorials for members who live on in our memories.
The Nordic Dancers of DC will dearly miss Fran Kilty (1947- 2025). She was long a great friend of the group, sharing her costuming skills, love of dance, and irrepressible spirit.
Harriet Gerber was born March 5, 1949 and passed away on October 29 after a long, difficult, and valiant battle against cancer. She worked as a microbiologist and a management analyst for the Federal Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services. She loved to dance and participated over her life in a variety of groups—international, Israeli, Turkish, and Scandinavian. She was an active and enthusiastic member of the Nordic Dancers of Washington, DC for thirty-five years and also attended Scandia, DC and MAND. She went to numerous dance camps and festivals. She also loved travel and visited Norway and Thailand, among other places.
The Nordic Dancers miss and fondly celebrate Harriet.
The Nordic Dancers remember our dear friend and teacher, Pascal A. Peterson, who shared with us his lifelong experience and joy in dancing. Rest in peace, Pascal.
