The groups are divided by age, and each group rehearses once a week in a safe and inspiring environment. Training is led by professional dance instructors, and every rehearsal is accompanied by skilled folk musicians playing live.
All children and young people have the opportunity to perform on stage and take part in shows both during the summer and at the Museum’s Christmas Market. In addition, the youth dancers gain valuable stage experience through external performances upon request, and dancers over the age of 13 receive payment for many of these appearances.
Every other year, the oldest youth members travel within Norway or abroad to experience folk dance from other regions and cultures, share and teach Norwegian folk dance, and perform. These trips create strong bonds, meaningful cultural exchange, and memories that last a lifetime.
If you would like to attend a trial class or receive more information, please contact the head of the dance group, Siren Hermansen, at: folkedans@norskfolkemuseum.no
