Christmas Potluck & Party 2026

Welcome to the I Dance Christmas Party! 🎄✨
Friends, New Friends, Amazing Food & Dance - combining a dance party & a potluck (nyyttärit)! 💃🕺🍇🍰🥗🧀

We have a looong tradition with these Dance Family Potluck parties uniting dancers from all schools and places, and this is going to be another amazing and yummy evening with a Christmas vibe! 😋 🎄✨ A pre-party potluck party (aka nyyttärit)! with dancers and friends sharing good food and good conversations with some background music if you'd like to start dancing already early. 

As always the idea for a potluck it that everyone that joins either makes something, bakes something, cooks something or buys something to eat that is shared with others! We looove trying yummy homemade treats, and we have been so impressed with all the treats you have been preparing in the past - totally wow!! 🤩 As we are an international community, it's been always nice to experience food also from different cultures! The most important thing is just to have fun and chill with friends, and we understand that not everyone might have time to prepare something at home, so it's also an option to bring something from the store - the most important thing is that you show up! 🤗 Note that everyone can bring their own drinks, and we’ll have some soft drinks as usual available while they last.

This is a super nice way to have a great time with dancers, also outside the dance floor!
And we'll have a big room with Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba music playing during the Potluck.

The potluck is followed by a party uniting all dancers to dance the night away!

🥳 Organiser: I DANCE HELSINKI / OMAR & JOHANNA
