About this event
On the first Monday of the month Malmitalo clears the floor and dances. This edition is dabke - the Levantine line dance built on stamped rhythm and linked shoulders - taught and led by the Yalla Collective. No partner, no experience and no money needed; the whole point is that the line absorbs whoever turns up.
