  • Hallgrim Hansegård from FRIKAR winning the Kings prize in the nationals 2015, at Landskappleiken in his home town Fagernes. Book halling at frikar.com or booking@frikar.com
    Halling is the oldest living dance tradition of the Northern Europe, being traced back to 2000 years old cave carvings. During the viking era the kruking (in the thumbnail) was a common way of dancing.
    The music is "Sumarmørgon" by Eivind Groven, performed by Knut & Ole Aastad Bråten on the instrument langeleik. The hat is hold by Ragnhild Hemsing.

      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.

      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.

      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

      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.

      Nobody knows for sure. In this video of exploration with archaeologists (ruclips.net/video/x1zgLCQKB5I/видео.htmlsi=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?

      @@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.

      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 👍🏼
