FamilieTid: Learn Folk Dances with Nordic Dancers - Ril fra Landvik

Gather the family together on Saturdays in October to learn traditional folk dances as performed by the Nordic Dancers from Decorah, Iowa! You'll learn about the history of each dance, the dance steps, and then be able to dance along with the Nordic Dancers from your home!

Please note: This dance differs from the dance collected by Egil Bakka in the 1970 collection Danse, danse lett utpå foten. The dance shared here was taught to the Nordic Dancers by a group of dancers from Norway in the early 2000s. It is performed to the tune Ril fra Landvik, but the origins of the dance are unknown.
