The coronavirus pandemic means that Northwest Folklife’s “Movin’ Around the World” festival won’t be taking the stage at Seattle Center this April, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do some dancing.
Folklife is presenting the festival in virtual form, with a series of online dance and culture workshops at 11 a.m. Monday April 13 through Friday April 17, featuring dances, music and culture from around the world. For more information, go to this website.
