HAMBO WORKSHOP 

At our Sunday Waltzes our bands play other folk dances in addition to waltz, including polka, hambo, and schottis. You may have wondered where you can learn these dances. Wonder no more! Waltz Time is again offering a workshop on HAMBO at our August 17 waltz, taught by Dan Kahn and Katherine Anderson. There is no additional cost for this workshop – it is included in your usual entrance fee for the waltz that day. The hambo workshop will run in the Hall Of Mirrors from 6:15pm - 7:00pm, in parallel to the usual beginner waltz lesson in the Bumper Car Pavilion. We will make sure the band plays several hambo that day so you can enjoy your new skill!
