Not many young people dances any more. Mostly older. I think its more watching others dance is what we do. The pole is beautiful though and a nice tradition.
Ah so iceswimming u say.....so cold :-( lol

It brings warmth to your body :) Water is warmer than air in winter. You should try it sometime!

Ok I can belive that. Kind of like swimming outside in a pool in winter. The air is so cold but the water is warmer :0) but still....grrrrr cold. But I would like to try some day. I can practice in winter out in the snow and a bucket with warm water..... hihihi lol :0)

Haha, what a discussion :D
I'm a Swedish speaking fin so back when I were younger we used to pick loads of flower to decorate the maypole and also to dance around it, we had so much fun.
I assume you guys had a great weekend? :)
