The Villa Hakasalmi's great hall is host to 1950s–70s dances, reflected by Volker von Bonin’s photography exhibition. Join <strong>Mikko</strong> <strong>Mattlar</strong>, scholar of Finnish popular music history and DJ, as he plays old favourites on vinyl records and tells the stories behind them. You can get a crash course for the dance steps at 17:30–18:30, with a refresher on the night's dances with the help of dance teacher <strong>Kimmo Luukkonen</strong>.</p><p>Free admission.</p><p><em>Photo: Helsinki City Museum</em></p>
