Nordic Dancers
of
Washington, DCThe
Nordic Dancers of Washington, D.C., is a Scandinavian folk dance group that
was founded in 1972. The group preserves the traditions of community dance groups
(folkdansgille, folkdanslag, tanhuryhmä) that were brought to this country by
immigrants from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The group is composed
of about twenty people, most of whom were either born in one of these countries
or are of Scandinavian descent. The dancers perform in traditional folk costumes.
The group's repertoire consists of traditional village dances, both for couples
and groups, and set dances choreographed from traditional forms and figures. Newcomers
are always welcome. No partners necessary. Children’s
Group -- The Nordic Dancers also sponsor a children's group. The children
join the adults from 7:30 to 8:30 on the second Wednesday of every month. More
