Hi Peter! I'd love to see your dancing. Which video would you recomend? I toured Hungary in 2004, was great to see Hungarian folk dancing! - Hallgrim

@@niklasvilhelm7247 Jag tycker inte vi är samma direkt. Sverige har mycket som är speciellt för oss och Norge detsamma. Dock så är våra länder extremt lika, mer lika än Danmark är med Sverige, till exempel.

When you live in a country that’s generally tilted at 45° then this is the energy you need.

[@Machru]

FANTASTISK!!!!!!

[@eckpolmick5080]

Hallgrim is a great athlete and a nice guy

[@windstorm1000]

this dance is certainly unique among Scandinavian dances...A solo and test of dance rhythym/athletism for a guy. I love the part improvisational part of it, part supreme athletism (one needs thighs of steel), part show off---its a beautiful blend of all three--like stylized show off for the girl of ones dreams (maybe guy too?!)

[@rbkelivet]

I agree, there is a great desciption in a historic novel by Vera Henriksen now I know what she was taliking about.

[@kimlarsen1098]

[@wmlbrown]

That guy is in SHAPE! But, ff this is a mating dance, I hope it is not how Norwegians mate - the man does all the gyrations and the woman doesn't move and just holds the pole.

[@frikar]

wmlbrown Thank you. Actually for me this is not so much of a mating dance but a great way of finding out what I can do and express with my body. By the way, this dance is danced by women as well since the 1700's :)

[@notuploadinganymore5161]

Yes that is exactly how we mate, et es verri cuul rait

[@Skelldr]

The funny thing is it’s exactly the opposite when we mate. The woman does all the gyrations and the man doesn’t move and just holds the pole.

[@cam-hat3020]

Well, this is a total melcocha (really awesome weird mix) of many dances. I love it!!!

[@xpost9381]

Weii.....if you believe that the " ..weird mix...of many dances" is something they have thrown together after watching youtube - then you are wrong. This kind of dance has long traditions in Norway. If you go back 300 years to the 1700th then the dance and the fiddle playing was tried to be stopped by the the church. They meant that specially women became "immoral" from that. Sorry, but break dance came some hundred years after the Norwegians had started their acrobatics. Hope you got a little more knowledge about traditions and that it goes back in time " a little " longer than the existence of internet.

[@daginn896]

This style of dance is very old in Norway.

[@baldrbraa]

Ok, the guy is spinning on his head with arms folded. Your argument is clearly invalid.

[@MegaMaya1975]

[@scaryrobot]

Does anyone know the name of the traditional tune being played as he dances?

[@frikar]

The tune is called "Kjæringè i snødrevè", Jan's combination of the langeleik and a hardingfele form. It's the Valdres version of Fanitullen on the grålysing tuning.

[@scaryrobot]

Tusen takk!

[@EmdrGreg]

+frikar It's wonderful. In itself it is almost as captivating as the dance performance. The player was watching very carefully and worked his playing to Hallgrim's movement.
