Norsk Folkedans Stemne 2008 was great with Symra. It was as if they were the Energizer bunnies. They just kept dancing and dancing and dancing! The group introduced some new dances for us and reviewed some favorites. The continued improvements especially the first stage of a new indoor dance floor at Camp Brotherhood make this a wonderful place for us to learn dances, sing, play music and enjoy friendships. Tusen takk Symra!
Norsk Folkedans Stemne 2009 will be held the third week in August this year again–August 14, 15, and 16. This is our "permanent" weekend until it changes.

Leikarringen BUL Kongsberg are our instructors this year. They are headed up by Aud Drotningsvik who first attended NFS in 1983. She will be bringing her family and other dancers with their families. There are 26 people in the group including 3 families with 2 children and 1 family with 1 child. It will be great to have so many youth and children helping with the instruction and participating in the event. They will be teaching local dances such as Sigdalsmasurka from my family's home place, figure dances, and some new song dances, in addition to many dances and sangleiker for youth and children. Some halling instruction will be done, too! They will do a short review Seierstadhopsa so we will all have one line dance we can do at the evening dance together on a continuing basis.
Performances and the Salmon Dinner in Seattle
The Salmon dinner is scheduled for August 11. If your group would like to host Leikarringen BUL Kongsberg for visiting, performance or concert, please contact cmadance@earthlink.net.
