Nordisk Dans Aarhus – April
English below.
Onsdag d. 12. april skal vi igen fatte partner, denne gang i en SLÄNGPOLSKA!
Slängpolska er en svensk dans, hvor alt er tilladt. Den er enkel og legend, og så ser den super flot ud!
——–
Vi glæder os til igen at byde på en festlig aften med fed musik, kolde øl og selvfølgelig en masse dans!
Aftenen er gratis og ALLE er velkomne, uanset om man har danset 0 eller 100 gange før, formålet er nemlig at have det sjovt og forhåbentligt åbne nogle øjne for den nordiske dans’ fantastiske verden!
Arrangementet afholdes i samarbejde med Studenterhus Aarhus, på Nordre Ringgade 3.
PROGRAM
Klokken 19 starter workshop i begynderdans. Vi lærer nogle af de basale nordiske danse med levende, autentisk folkemusik.
Klokken 20:15 spiller musikerne op til et vaskeægte nordisk bal, hvor du har mulighed for at prøve de ting af du har lært på workshoppen. Det bliver groovy, ømt og skidesjovt. Hvis du ikke har mod på at danse, så bliv endelig hængende – musikken og stemningen er også en lytter værd.
Der vil være mulighed for at købe både øl og sodavand!
OM KONCEPTET NORDISK DANS
Den nordiske folkedans-tradition trives i disse år som aldrig før blandt den yngre generation. Den har fået nyt liv på festivaller blandt unge over hele norden, og dansene er både smukke, udfordrende, traditionsrige og underholdende.
Projektet Nordisk Dans Aarhus er af unge og for unge – alle er velkomne, uanset niveau og erfaring.
Nordisk Dans startede i København i oktober 2016, og denne side repræsenterer den Aarhusianske del af projektet.
Arrangørgruppen bag Nordisk Dans er alle en del af det unge folkemusikmiljø i Danmark og /eller Sverige, og har lært at danse på bl.a. landsdækkende stævner og festivaller for folkemusik (bl.a. ROD og FOD), samt konservatoriet i Esbjerg og Skurup Folkhögskola i Sverige.
Vi håber at skabe rammerne for, at unge mennesker i Aarhus og omegn jævnligt kan danse nordisk folkedans med hinanden, så de ikke kun behøver at lære eller praktisere det på festivaller eller stævner.
Nordisk Dans har som formål at:
– Afholde aftener med begynderworkshops så alle har mulighed for at lære at danse nordiske danse
– Sikre live dansemusik af høj kvalitet
– Afholde aftener med workshops for mere øvede dansere, der gerne vil udfordres.
– Sikre et socialt fællesskab der kan være med til at udbrede den nordiske folkedans i Aarhus, når nu selve folkemusikken synes at være på vej frem blandt unge.

ENGLISH:
On Wednesday the 12th of April, we will once again grab a partner, this time for a SLÄNGPOLSKA!
Slängpolska is a swedish dance where everything is allowed. It’s is simple and playful, and it looks beautiful!
——–
We’re looking so much forward to welcoming you all to an evening of nice music, cold beer, and of course lots of dancing! This evening is planned as an open introduction to the wonderful world of the Nordic dance traditions, so knowing the dances or how to dance at all is by no means a requirement.
PROGRAM
19.00-20.00: Beginner friendly workshop
20.15-21.30: Open dancefloor with different Nordic dances
The event is for free and EVERYBODY is welcome – make sure to bring your friends!
This evening is arranged in collaboration with Studenterhus Aarhus, on Nordre Ringgade 3.
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN?
At 19 o’clock we start with a beginners’ workshop. Some of the common Nordic dances will be taught to the sound of live, authentic folk music.
At 20.15 o’clock the musicians begin a real Nordic ball, where you get to try out what you’ve learned at the workshop. It’s going to be groovy, tender and really funny. Stay around even if you don’t feel like dancing, as the music and the mood is also worth experiencing on their own.
Refreshing drinks like beer and soda can be bought as well!
ABOUT THE CONCEPT NORDIC DANCING
The Nordic Folkdance tradition is thriving among young people like never before. It has been revitalized on festivals and events among young people in all of the Nordic countries, and the dances are both beautiful, challenging, rich in tradition and great fun.
The project Nordic Dancing Aarhus is by young people and for young people – everybody is welcome, no matter skill or experience. Nordic Dancing began in Copenhagen in October 2016, and this page represents the Aarhus branch of the project.
The crew behind Nordic Dancing are all part of the young folk music environment in Denmark and Sweden, and have learned to dance on nationwide folk music events and festivals (such as ROD and FOD), as well as the folk music conservatory in Esbjerg and Skurup Folkhögskola in Sweden.
We believe that Nordic folk dancing has a tremendous potential in Aarhus, and our goal is to host regular events in Aarhus for beginners and experienced dancers alike. We hope to create the framework for young people in the Aarhus area to dance Nordic folkdances on a more regular basis, so they won’t have to contend with learning and dancing on a few festivals a year.
The goals of Nordic Dancing are:
– To host evenings with beginners’ workshops so everybody gets the opportunity to learn the Nordic dances.
– Provide high quality live dance music.
– Host workshops for more experienced dancers looking for new challenges.
– Help shape a sense of community to spread awareness of the Nordic folk dances in Aarhus, seeing as the related musical traditions are becoming increasingly popular among young people.
