When is a Barn Dance not a Barn Dance? When it’s a Bowery Dance! Music will be provided by Madison’s own Scandinavian American Old-Time Dance Music Ensemble, a mix of community members, UW–Madison students, faculty, and staff, and they’ll be joined by UW–Madison Spring 2022 Musician-in-Residence Beth Hoven Rotto and her husband Jon Rotto, coming from Decorah, Iowa. Come dance waltzes, polkas, schottisches, and other old time dances on campus at Allen Centennial Garden.
