PORTLAND, Ore. The pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to a number of businesses, that includes the entertainment and dance communities in Portland.
Before the pandemic, Norse Hall in Northeast Portland was busy. People from all over the area came together to dance with one another during weekly or monthly dances.
