The folk dance group Symra from Oslo is one of the most active folk dance groups in Norway. Symra performs all types of Norwegian folk dances: figure-dances, songdances, village dances, old-time couple dances as well as historical dances. The group dates back to 1960, and was started by folk dancers from the western part of Norway. Today the 100 members live in Oslo, but come from all parts of the country. Therefore there is great variation in the national costumes among the members of Symra. Many of the members are also active in other folk dance groups in the Oslo area. Symra is a member of the Norwegian Youth League/Noregs Ungdomslag. They are also active in national events such as Noreg Ungdomslag’s yearly festival kappleikar/competitions, and Nordleik.

Marianne Dahl with Anders Saxhaug and Inger Bakken with Vebjrn Bakken are our main dance instructors this year. We look forward to learning Nordmrspols and many other dances from them. Solvor Sundsb returns to teach and play fiddle with Benjamin Kehlet. Hallvar Opheim is teaching accordion and torader (G/C).
