Dances at Hämeenkaari, Hämeenlinna, Finland,  1960s

The Finnish dance culture is unique; you cannot find as many individual dance pavilions in any other country. You will have the opportunity to experience up to 15 different dances in one night! 
In Finnish this event is called “lavatanssit” – people will gather to one (out of almost 800) dance pavilion and dance with each other through the night. If you’re not very big on dancing, it is also a great social event. These dances have a very unique mood and dancing is a health-promoting exercise!
