Halling Norwegian folk dance

[@vergil8833]

I imagine this is how you defeat a troll in the forest. Distract him with a dance before kicking him right in the chin.

This is perfect!

Haha that's great 😂

[@spindleswift8667]

I always think its so edgy, because we normally don't like showoffs, and Halling rejoices in showing off.

Currently learning the Rotnamsknut Halling from Grieg's Slåtter, Op. 72 for piano… Never would've imagined in a million years that this is what the choreography looks like :D

[@xpost9381]

Hahaha.... Well, now you know...!!! More common is it to use a unique Norwegian vertion of a fiddle - called hardingfele. Fiddle = fele. It comes from a district called Hardanger. The fiddel has a double set of strings that gives it a distinct and unique sound. On YT you can search with: Annbjorg Lien, Fanitullen. By combinding these traditional ways of playing fiddle with halling ( from Hallingdal) dance Alexander Rybak made "Fairytale" - representing Norway in Eurovision Song Contest ( 2009 ) - and won You find the video on YT. Good luck.

[@Snackery24]

But how you know this is what Vikings did?

[@frikar]

Zack R The krukedance move from the thumbnail was according to the written sagas done by king Olav Trygvason and men during the of king Håkon Håkonson named themselves Krøgedans as familyname, meaning they serie good dancers of krukedans. But most of the dance was developed from the 1600s to the 1800s.

[@Snackery24]

frikar alright that sounds legit I believe you.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Maybe not, but in many cultures Men, usually warriors performed acrobatic or energetic dances as a way to show strength, prowess and stamina. There are writings about the "Varangians" (Vikings) who were imperial bodyguards in Byzantium performing an energetic dance during their religious ceremonies

[@lord_moist]

This is old tradition, but not that old, it's just about medieval old, viking traditions were mostly dead by the time the plague came

[@sturlamolden]

It is described in the Norse sagas from the Viking age. The oldest attestation of this type of dancing is from Scandinavian petroglyphs from the Nordic bronze age, roughly 1750 - 50 BC. This predates the vikings with one or two millennia.

Sorry to disappoint, but no, this is not the infamous ‘halling’ dance 😅

[@peytonspain6081]

Get it girrrrl

[@boki8197]

Why the Halling dance resembles the Hopak/Cossack dance?🤔

[@frikar]

Nobody knows for sure. In this video of exploration with archaeologists (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmLdmH95hrB1a6ssi=wPpBSrU46P1ajREB) you can see a rock carving of the iconic squat dance in Scandinavia 3000 years ago. So it was not imported from East during viking age. But loads of Norwegians and Swedes worked at and visited the royal court of Jaroslav in Kiev in the early 1000's. For sure a lot of cultural exchange happened. But maybe both cossacks and Scandinavians have been squatting to rhythm indipendently for thousands of years?

[@boki8197]

@@frikar I like your educated answer to my question. Both aforementioned theories are plausible. However if you take in fact the presence in of Viking traders and warriors in Kiev Rus state the theory of cultural exchange is more probable for me. And the Cossack dance is most likely of Ukrainian origin rather than Russian. Sort of. It is not believable to me that the Vikings/Varangians did not have great cultural impact on the Russian culture, which includes traditional dances.

[@frikar]

@@boki8197 thank you! Most people think periferies are allways more culturally influenced by the more central regions then vice versa. Archaeologically speaking Scandinavia have really many traces of dancing from 5000 BC until the viking age. There’s a new book now «12000 years of Norwegian history» by Ellingvåg and Wee revealing new cronolgies of who moved where and when in Europe, and how did it influence cultures. Worth reading 👍🏼

Thanks for comment Nazim! This is traditional halling dancing from Norway. Several moves are similar to breaking, but they were done in Norwegian traditional dance before the existence of breaking.
