in many venues including the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage. They have

Big Silver Medal in Swedish Polska dancing. Linda and Ross are also
members of the Nordic Dancers of Washington, DC and teach Norwegian

Hoag takes an uncommon musical path and revels in the connections she
makes along the way. With over 30 years of devotion to traditional
fiddle styles, including intensive study in Sweden and a
Grammy-nominated album, Andrea has earned an international reputation as
both tradition-bearer and innovator. Andrea's cds will be for sale at
the bazaar.
Paul Carlson - Playing
fiddle for 30+ years, Paul Carlson keeps alive a long line of Nordic
musicians in his family. He hews very closely to the traditional feel of
the music with the goal of making the tunes easy to dance to and listen
to. He is currently the fiddler for the Nordic Dancers and teaches
violin full time. Click to visit his studio.
