Fall Workshop - October 10-13, 2013

We are planning a great weekend workshop with two wonderful and well-known instructors, who specialize in Norwegian dance and music: Ginny Lee and Toby Weinberg. 

This dance and music workshop will focus on two energetic “bygdedans” (village dances) from Norway: Nordlandspols and Springdans fra Hadeland. These dances date back hundreds of years and have been danced in their respective regions continuously since then, as a “living tradition”. Hadeland is a valley north of Oslo; the old Norse name means “Land of the Warriors.” Nordland County comprises the narrowest part of Norway on the west coast, and includes the Lofoten Islands. A pols is a 3-beat dance, similar to but predating the waltz.
INSTRUCTORS:
Ginny Lee and Toby Weinberg have been performing and teaching Norwegian dance and music together as part of the ensemble Vestafor for more than a decade. Toby is widely recognized as one of the leading hardanger fiddle players in North America. He is also an accomplished performer and teacher of other Norwegian instruments including ordinary fiddle, seljefløyte and munnharpe. As a dance and music teacher, Toby has a special interest in teaching the ways in which the music molds and enlivens the dance. Ginny, together with Mikkel Thompson, was the leader of the Nordahl Greig Barneleikarring for around 10 years. She has taught workshops and courses for adult and children’s dance groups across the country both on her own and together with Vestafor. Ginny has been dancing all her life: first as a partner to her mother teaching dance, and for the last 20 years with a special focus on teaching and performing Norwegian traditional dance.
