Have you had a chance to check out the June issue of Viking? After reading our cover story about Hallgrim Hansegård and his innovative FRIKAR dance company, you might be inspired to bust some Nordic moves. Luckily for you, there are plenty of opportunities to improve your dance skills or learn some new ones in the summer months ahead.
For instance, here are three upcoming events in different regions of the United States:
- Nisswa-stämman Scandinavian Folk Music Festival, June 10-11, in Nisswa, Minn.
- Scandia Camp Mendocino, June 11-18, near Mendicino, Calif.
- Nordic Fiddles and Feet, June 26-July 3, near Littleton, N.H.
And if you happen to be in Norway this June, you can enjoy watching the country's best folk dancers at Landskappleik, the national folk music and dance competition, held this year in Seljord.
Keep an eye on the Viking Kalender, as well as the events on Sons of Norway's website, for more opportunities to enjoy Nordic dance this summer!
