Norwegian hallingdans

Norwegian folk dance

[@pianobassmando]

I have to say, the hat kick is probably the only "fight" move. It is essentially a way for the guys to "one up" each other and impress the girls. And from my experience, it works ;)

[@MsThatguywiththeface]

the guy kicking the hat off of the pole is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen anyone do.

[@imperiumdiaboli]

It is a little known fact that the Hallingdans is the ancestral form of both breakdancing and moshpits. :-)

[@pixymae]

That guy must do crazy squats

[@fettcp]

@2gzctr3 Jeg hadde folkedans på barneskolen, som en del av musikktimene! Og det er jeg veldig glad for nå, var ikke det når jeg gikk på barneskolen. Synd å høre at de tydeligvis har sluttet med det.

[@snake1mi]

Er norsk utlending, men elsker hallingdans! Synd at man ikke for sett dette så veldig ofte. Noe av det beste i norsk kultur!

[@Hsteingrimsen]

Han som danser på filmen er fra Jondalen ved Kongsberg og heter Sigmund Rua. Han er også med i frikar som er i finalen til Grand Prix.

[@peviza]

I from Russia and me seem style of dance is similar to Russian national dancings. Look dance of sailors "apple", in the basis it is pure folk, become by dance of seamen.

[@TheFolkandAcousticChannel]

Vikingskog I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! best wishes from the UK

[@HeidiFaith]

That thing was like 10 feet in the air and you kicked it down with your FOOT. GOD.

[@GiovanniGrosskopf]

naneo, I am an Italian ethnomusicology scholar interested in Nordic culture: I would be very interested in this, too!

[@paulbrandenburg6800]

Gefällt mir sehr

[@TheErikOlsson]

Han dansar riktigt bra. Vill också börja dansa halling!

[@2gzctr3]

HVorfor lærer vi ikke norske folkedanser på solen :(

[@Vingul]

Det er vel for varmt der ;) neida, hehe... hehehe. Er helt enig, det bør undervises på skolen.

[@JohnDoeSchmoe]

Come to think of it, this is perhaps the closest we get to Norwegian martial arts! :p :D

[@comatosofico]

great skill and coordination of movement and balance, a dance not to do when tipsy nor drunk ^^

[@ernesto-2806]

Good dance

[@Irina_89user-zl7ve2wp2e]

Great!

[@soul_fiddler.cosplay20]

God jobb med å gjøre halling-dansen! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kitsunekochan]

Such a beautiful dance!

[@jadeescobar9653]

I would die to go to norway and do this even if I look stupid.

[@annikesta8796]

Awesome job!! Greetings from Germany ~

[@l0lidude]

The real jumpstyle!

[@MrJandDrJ]

SO GREAT! I breakdance and I just learned how to do hallings yesterday and it was fun i be my breakdancing buddies would get a kick out of this! :-)

[@karansawhney94]

Haha :D We had halling at school yesterday :D its extreamly fun hehe...its really great when u kick the cap haha...

[@ballebanan]

Vakkert. Det er godt ikke alle glemmer kulturen sin. :)

[@sarahansen4629]

The up and down movements remind me of some Russian dances. This is great!

[@keatsaenea]

OMG! *__* You're my hero! Compliments!!

[@jolynecharlesjoh4890]

Salut je me suis perdue sur youtube et je suis tombée sur cette superbe vidéo

[@pastorbuzzy7956]

ya ya dats Kris Olsen . Han er veldig god instruktør

[@Vazzivazzi]

@Vikingskog Det står i Læreplanverket Kunnskapsløftet at musikklærere og gymlærere er forpliktet til å lære ungdommen norsk folkedans. Halling er bare veldig vanskelig! :)

[@dextermorgan5397]

vrikker man en fot der så knekker begge beina ! haha keep up the good work! jævlig oppegående

[@HerbHalling]

I Love It

[@ballebanan]

Vakkert.

[@akselp]

More accurate "laus" in this setting means "free".

[@rikkypacania181]

Sooo... Who else came here because of that tumblr post about Frozen?

[@HondasanTohru]

Me.

[@fairy687]

*raises hand* me

[@maggiemeyer1827]

I feel like the majority of future views are going to be because of that post.

[@kaitlyngilleo9111]

Yup

[@theocas9]

What tumblr post

[@tlauen]

Please don't say it's "always danced with a person playing fiddle", because that's a lie ^^. I dance halling myself, and I often use a CD or just my iPod :P

[@sarahansen4629]

I just looked up come cossack dances. So cool!

[@SleepingCat89]

Jag går på en hallingdans kurs =D

[@SleepingCat89]

Jag håller ju på att lära mig ju =P Och de som lär ut kan dansa halling

[@FlemmingBehrend]

Kjempe fint :0)

[@lt.branwulfram4794]

Part of it reminds me of Taekwondo demonstrations.

[@naneo]

Can anybody indicate me any book (of demoanthropological "substance") about this dance? I'm an italian anthropology undergraduate and I'd really like to know more about Hallingdans(perhaps in the offing of an exhaustive research about it). Thanky you for reading -and sorry for my english-

[@sighcantthinkofaname]

This is so cool

[@turniboy13]

We are gona have a schoolproject on this. How can you do that? omg liksom. This is amacing, its just like a sport and it is very difficult.

[@talynhastime9343]

Yes, yes, prance! Prance my Nordic gazelle!

[@Vingul]

LOL

[@rxwh]

Damn... Nå har ikke jeg PEILING på hallingdans, men fotarbeidet ditt var ekstremt bra, så ut som du hadde skikkelig flyt : )

[@tlauen]

Actually, it could also be danced to a jaw's harp, "torader" (when that came), plaing singing (tralling) or any other form of rythm instrument, it's just that the fiddle is most widely used the last 100 years :P

[@grainedthoughts6004]

Now, I understand...*-*

[@SleepingCat89]

Jaha! Den har jag aldrig dansat förut men skulle vara kul att prova ^^

[@wandren912]

fy faen man må være i god form for å drive med dette her

[@baardeven1]

onkel!

[@MermaidNami]

I wonder if I can get my norwegian BF to do this for me..... XD

[@larslarsj]

Are you just trying to find information about the dance i.e technique ++, or are you looking for historical information? i.e it origin, and cultural background?

[@smievil]

float like a butterfly sting like a bee

[@widowma]

hei vet du hvor videoen er spilt inn. ser ut som det er i sigdal?

[@rodneykingston6420]

Een mah country when a man wants to proof his luf for a maiden, he must do many many dizzying twirls around a large bare floor to un-listenable screechy music, and then kick a pelt from a broomstick she holds over his head while standing on a chair. Eef he can do it two times without falling down, she must marry heem, but eef hees butt hits the floor, she's free.

[@pianobassmando]

I have always called halling/laus done in couples "par halling"

[@skrivervik]

Er dette deg som danser Vikingskog?

[@theCityOfNewOrleans]

This is really good!! Who is the dancer? Is he a professional hallingdanser?

[@kentzorz]

Sigbjørn Rua jo! Smooth stil:P Hvor fikk du tak i dette klippet?

[@VeronicaPews]

Det ser tungt ut!

[@ultimathule3834]

[@SleepingCat89]

Jo då det går så bra så ^^ Vad är det för dans?? =S

[@H3rpez]

@2gzctr3@ for vi lærer det på skolen:P

[@ralphyboy25]

That looks like it takes a lot of skill, practice and coordination. I think I'll stick to being a spectator

[@Agurkmix07]

[@bremangerbygda]

Fordi vi ville smelta hvis vi var på solen. DUH!
