It's a dance that does stem from old norse religion, before christianity came and tried to sucessfully do it's fuckuppery... thus as they dance the tributes of Thor, in the name of God & Jesus Christ... well... Y'all here him thunder in the background (Joke aside) but this is Originated in Norse Religion, dancing around maypoles and bonfires in the rain and thunders worshipping the old abandonned gods of Asgard.
När jag gick i skolan typ lågstadiet i mitten på 90-talet fick vi alltid dansa folkdans. Var lite random men nu när man ser tillbaka var det ett trevligt inslag ändå. Det handlade om att värna om kultur, inte på ett knäppt "vi är bäst, ni är sämst" sätt utan ett trevligt och välkomnande sätt. Det fanns ju barn från alla olika bakgrunder/länder som också uppskattade det!
idk why but i've watched this so many times x) I simply love this so much, the joy on their faces as well as the concentration. The personality in it all, the sync. The noise, I just love it :D
I'd give anything to walk again so I can do this dance but I can't it brakes my heart watching other teenagers walking and having fun on there feet while I'm stuck in my wheelchair with a blanket over my legs so they don't stear at them I hate it I wish I could dance but I have my grandpaps to help me walk but he said its not Time to be watching the dancing videos yet because u can't walk
Since childhood I am interested in Sweden like the culture of this country, the people, habits, of course, new music and how this in this video that is also the language of his folk sound and everything I know a few words phrases, although it does not teach. For me, Swedish is the most comprehensive, best of all languages except the Scandinavian countries, for example, the Swedish royal family how different and normal compared to those freaks are saturated with money and power or British monarchy. I love the Swedish sense of humor and its different versions ... Not to mention the Swedish democracy, economy, standard of living..
Sweden is the worst of scandinavian (and all nordic) countries with most things. Worst schools, worst econommy, worst democracy, worst everything. Swedes have no humor, or at least... they maybe have but someone always getting offended by a tiny joke and probably report it to the police... I’m born in south eastern sweden (blekinge) in one of the regions that like 400 years ago were danish but got lost frommwar between denmark and sweden. I have always felt more danish than swedish. Always prefered denmark over sweden. Copenhagen is closer than stockholm geograficly so that’s the more common place to visit for us. And i mean... in denmark i can speak exactly as i do in eastern blekinge and all danes understands me perfectly, and one time a dane actually asked me from where in denmark i came from since i had ”rare accent”.... in stockholm (and eskilstuna) i have been forced to speak english since they for some reason don’t understand me... u can imagine how welcoming that feels.... especially compared to what happend in denmark. The dialects of the regions that once were danish can be refered to as eastern danish dialects. But they already were inbetween danish standard language and swedish standard language 400 years ago when sweden took the regions. The dialects didn’t really changed that much but still a little. They however got lot of its dialectal words from danish and spme of them were specificly eastern danish words that still can be found on bornholm in their ”more danish” form. And since swedish and danish linguisticly is the same language and the dialects of blekinge, bornholm skåne and halland lies in between they should be understood by everyone😂 but for some reason danes understands it better than other swedes. Even though dialects aren’t that heavily and widely spoken nowadays even young people use lots of regional words in daily life and we speak with quite heavy accents that comes from our old dialects. I have read a lot about my dialect and the sounds used etc.. it’s a very complex thing with unwritten rules of pronounciation that all speakers for some reason know etc.. some sounds that doesn’t exist in swedish but that we use every day here etc... I wish that denmark take us back🇩🇰
To dance traditional dances with the sweet fiancee, is very nice and highly bonding, for when one gets separated in the dance, it is so lovlely to meet again.
The amish are still wearing something close to this. also as a side note, show the east asians these traditional clothes and a week later they'd have made a flashier more stylized and modern version of it. They really like modernizing traditional clothes in east asia.
So nice to see all that energy! Unfortunately almost everyone in the Swedish club in my hometown were so ancient they had a hard time keeping up this kind of tempo 🤭 wish I could remember all the dances...
Som du kanske vet är Skansen ett museum. Man visar bland annat upp traditionella danser och dräkter. Folkdanslaget tränar på vintern och har uppvisningar varje dag utom måndagar hela sommaren. Tänk dig uppvisningarna som en hyllning till de generationer som kämpade mot missväxt och farsoter men ändå visste hur man roade sig med den tidens enkla medel. Inget pinsamt med det.
Brilliant video. I'm currently at the moment trying to find videos of the traditional dances of Scandivinia to learn about the culture of my ancestors on my father's side.
You ought to check out Halling, Daisy, from the Halling valley in eastern Norway. It's a very acrobatic, parkour-esque style with a lot of masculine/feminine style elements. Flattering if one could compare it to flamenco, for instance. Though with a lot less people practicing it over the years, of course.
Very nice see and hear dear nords in sincere in very light magik legendary-nord-construction and in light in nord-friendship distance -folklorn-swerige-dance!!! Sincere bravo!! Danke-Schon!!!
Är det något fel på att vara bonde? Vad skulle du äta om det inte fanns bönder som fixade fram råvarorna? Och lite känsla för historia är aldrig fel. Det gör det lättare att förstå nutiden. För övrigt är folkdanslagets uppvisningar mycket uppskattade av turisterna som kommer till Skansen.
i love seeing swedish americans connecting with their ancestors roots. almost a fifth of swedens population emmigrated to america in 1860-1930. Do you know where in Sweden your ancestors came from?
This reminds me of other European folk dances. This dance uses basic female and male polarities, dancing in vortex circles, and the 2 male 2 female dancing in circle creates the swasitka symbol, infinite symbol of free energy, zero point. The human vessels aligned masculine/feminine are transmitting orgone energy, chi energy, prana, atmospheric energy, ether energy, god, spirit, this energy is one in the same and it's called differently by science and religious communities and different cultures. In my culture, we use not only the swastika (2 males 2 females) spinning dancers but also the kolovrat (8 leg free energy symbol) that's 8 females and 8 males spinning in circle.
@@Snobiker13 the dance she mentions has the same root and symbolism as this one. People see things on different levels, doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
Alltid lika roligt att se er dansa. Har i många år beundrat att ni är så "lätta på foten". Har sett mycket av er på RU-vid, men hoppas få ser i verkligheten också. Ulf Carlsson Logdansarna, Skåne
@Gunnar Hovmark Hi. I'm looking for some Nordic folk dance footage to use in a community project here in the UK and this looks perfect. Could you let me know if we can use it please?
@@Snobiker13 It's ok, I was able to pull the YT directly into my editor. I'm doing a video for my brass band as part of an online contest. I'll send you the link when it's published.
Carlos Rafael C. Arce This melody has over time come to be the "standard" tune for this choreographed folk dance. You may be able to find an antecedent in the Västgöta volume of Svenskalåtar. Otherwise the common method of learning is by ear.
