Nordic Dancers
of Washington, DC
The Nordic Dancers of Washington, D.C., is a Scandinavian folk dance group
that was founded in 1972. The group preserves the traditions of community
dance groups (folkdansgille, folkdanslag, tanhuryhmä) that were brought to
this country by immigrants from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and
Sweden. The group is composed of about twenty people, most of whom were
either born in one of these countries or are of Scandinavian descent. The
dancers perform in traditional folk costumes. The group's repertoire consists
of traditional village dances, both for couples and groups, and set dances
choreographed from traditional forms and figures.
