Hallingdans - So you think you can dance

[Slungs1]

in Norway we danced Halling/laus way before breakdance was cool

[JUNKGEE83]

har de mye sex i dialekt-norge? hadde aldri klart det med en som snakker sånn

[ballebanan]

@JUNKGEE83

Var sammen med ei fra Valle i Setesdal. Det var faen ikke lett å fatte hva hun sa til tider, men det gikk helt greit det. :D

[Niobesnuppa]

Dritkult. :D

[FordoArc77]

just kyj age of conan

[gasmask120]

I just tried the thing when he jumped over his own leg and arm at about 1:40 into the video.....it didnt go well x( Anywaiz awesome vid, probably the coolest preformance of any folk dance! Swe here :)

[Solatunum111]

simply fantastic preformance, and music

[megakuli]

gikk han videre da??

[KateyAriel]

I am going to be remarkably stupid for a moment, and point out that the costumes in EPCOT Norway apparently arent too far from the actual traditional costume.... XD

in other news, I think it really remarkable that an old traditional dance was shown on "so you think you can dance" I see far too much break dancing and hiphop on this show.

[whatsyourproblem94]

tøff dialekt x)

[alexanderrybak4ever]

Jeg har en venn som studerer ved Break Dance. Ellers er det vel interessant for meg, er det også en-andre-lang læring

[NFNORDMENN]

this was basicly used, back in the days to train farmers to kick a guys head off.

it also showed how high this person could be :)

[Bobstew68]

@NFNORDMENN Don't be silly, this dance has a far better history than that. There's nothing violent about it, rather a display of (predominantly male) constitution and strength.

[ts2101]

this dance is also been digitaly remade for the charaters in the game ''Age Of Conan''

[Liesannemetie]

he is so hot. i'm in love i think

[PEIDanielScott]

Anyone know the name of the song the Violin player was playing? It was quite nice.

[BloodySunRising]

Sorry, just had to corect you in one thing... there is no dialect called "nynorsk" its the form that they use to write, witch actualy just is some of the norwegian dialects but together and made that to a form of writing. So you cant say that he is talking nynorks...

[exentr]

@BloodySunRising

You`re right. Nynorsk is strictly defined writing. Speach and writing are two different medium. Noone speak writing. Perform text by heart is possible like NRK and Det Norske Teater.

[IOPhaser]

WOW didnt know yet that vikings invented breakdance :) nice

[christoffera]

Det er så Arisk og flott!

[MacJARedd]

Det der var sprékt!

[tupoy6]

awesome

[Peter0son]

Freia/Marabou was created by a norwegain that lived in Sweden. So it is a great combination of Norway and Sweden:P

[Pitanga990]

lulz. am making that chocolate. working at Freia:P

[raggsokkenmin]

@Pitanga990

I'm in your factories, making your chocolate.

[1996Matilde]

Hallgrim eats the best chocolate in Norway (maybe in the world, too?) at 0:15

[theaccountinfobelow]

what is the name of that chocolate? I must taste it=)

[1996Matilde]

on norwegian it is: Freia Melkesjokolade

or on english: Freia MilkChocoalte

[theaccountinfobelow]

Ooooh, certainly in Russia there is no such chocolate!(((

[FreddyOgSigrid]

the norwegian chocolate is really good since they dont have to put thing in it so it dont melt since its so cold here.

[SucceLaCabaree]

hahahhahahahha XD funny dance!!!

[emusic007]

I just posted a video reply to this one with english subtitles. Waiting to get it approved

[De14ka]

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahhah

lachfLaaash.xD

[rasltain]

Nobody else notice he lost his shoe lol

[xteenah]

He lost his shoe? Couldn't see that... Checked twice :P

[kluz2]

Rasltain:He didn't lose his shoes...

[solac388]

You prolly mistook it for the hat he kicked of the pole at the end?

[rasltain]

Looks embaressed oh I didnt even see the hat XD

[flertly]

Could you explain? What about this tradition?

[MonaLygre]

Enormt bra! Terningkast 7. (Jeg så forresten denne opptreden på tv'n for lenge siden... digg-digg)

[TheMetroRock]

I know that in Russian region "Karelia" some ppl speak language that looks a bit like scandinavian languages ^^

[Calul]

Well, even though it is a region in Russia, it is not Russian, it's not a dialect of Russian nor is it a Slavic language.... But I'd bet my bottom dollar it is Norwegian or a dialect thereof....

[anne241163]

It is aFinno-Ugric language, just like Finnish and Hungarian. Nothing to do with Norwegian, which belongs to the Germanic languages,just like English. You just lost a buck!

[Calul]

As I listened to it, I did not get the impression that it was agglutinated as are Finnish and Hungarian... I am very much aware of the three agglutinated European languages... the two you listed but failed to mention the Basque language of the Iberian Peninula... which is also agglutinated. A true enigma for linguists... in that the grammars of the three are so similar yet the words of the three languages have no relation whatsoever....

[anne241163]

(If anyone is confused, I was refering to the language they speak in Karelia, this guy is speaking a Norwegian dialect close to Nynorsk, very charming!)

[BladesOrsi]

it has nothing to do with the Hungarian...........

[ttttttyttt]

Its Norwegian

[TheMetroRock]

hm.. interesting language! I like it and Finnish too ^^

[sarotare]

Woow! Frys på 2:21 :O

[evilcs]

syyykt!

[libbeingcool]

the guy is sooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!

[Priceless21]

Wow! He is so strong!

He must have leg muscles like no other!

[Tihbialdunav]

So this is traditional Norwegian dance? Quite interesting. And hey, good luck at Eurovision! You have the best song this year! Bulgarian here.

[Calul]

Yes, I agree... it is by far the best... But what's with the Bulgarians? You have such fantastic folk music and gypsy music... and I like the 4alga.... I'm surprised BG is not coming up with a winner....

[Tihbialdunav]

Well, here is one finalist at the Bulgarian Eurovision final 2004 which you might like:

watch?v=F40Gl0BhnQI&feature=Pl­ayList&p=97D2CC4E9140C184&inde­x=0&playnext=1

[Calul]

Yes, thank you... I already previewed that and enjoyed it but it just didn't have the Bulgarian flavor that I was craving... It was too contemporary and not enough "chalga".....

[Tihbialdunav]

Oh, come on, chalga is Gypsy, not Bulgarian music. And the texts are really stupid, bordering on pornography/soap opera. Really Gypsy...

[Calul]

Wow... that is news to me... I am not Bulgarian and I cannot understand a word they are saying... I just like the music and especially the beat.... The only one I can refer to is "Ivana - Neshto NeTipichno". I hope you know the artist and the song. Because I speak Croatian, I think it means: Something not typical. Is that song considered chalga?

[Calul]

Something else, my parents and I were born here in the States. My father's parents came from Croatia but my mother's came from Transylvania. Her mother was Hungarian and her father was pure Gypsy... and I am proud of them and my heritage.... and that includes being Gypsy or Romale.....

[IntrapersonalKent]

@Tihbialdunav From what I could research, he belongs to a particular Norwegian dance group named Frikar. His full name is Hallgrim Hansegård from said group. Their core philosophy is the observation and study of the connection between nature and dance. Nature and movement. I believe he also teaches his craft. :-). They incorporate structured, simplified Parkour for cardio, strength and agility training. Cheers.

[plustax50]

That was awesome.

[Noregi]

Hvilken bunad/drakt er det han bruker forresten?

[AleXzorZ]

Det er vel Valdres-bunaden, tenker jeg

[ArifJD]

Valdresbunad

[king0thebritons]

Vad är källan på att denna traditionen är 2000 år gammal?

[pouffsie]

jag är nyfiken på varför du frågar?

[rxwh]

Dæven, den hatten der må jo ha vært rundt fire meter oppe i lufta? :|

[nehaha]

Ungen min kan drite i å dra på breakdance. Ungen min skal lære seg dette...haha!

[Elisha414]

Awesome! :D

Ja, Norsk dans kan faktisk være ganske så kult! :D

[kentzorz]

Selvfølgelig er det det!

[Tarmgasse]

Haha!

Han er sønnen til rektoren på skolen min!

Hallgrim Hansegård heter han.

Han bodde i Øystre Slidre og har vært med på MANGE danse/talent konkurranser.

[leanyzo84]

Coooooool. I never thought Scandinavian dances could be so acrobatic, what I've seen so far was only couple and circle dancing....

[larzi13]

Jepp:) det gjorde han

[DanceManHNo97]

Gikk han videre? :P

[dilleruddaniels]

Han gikk videre til uka, men ble sendt hjem etter det så vidt jeg kan huske ; )

[systrickzproductions]

that's some pretty good power

[Lexcea]

He was great!!!

I wish I knew what they were saying...

[nighthoxx]

Hva heter melodien?

[kentzorz]

Spelemannen av Valkyrien Allstars

[jensbjoern]

Heeelvete... Nesten like god som meg jo! haha neida:P

[bodypowr]

[swany212]

[DyNaCoR3]

[cornwallpixies]

He's one of the best friends I ever had, he can dance whatever he wants...he knows how to break dance, let me tell you

[JayneDoe04]

[wichska]

[nabil4623]

[QueenBotu]

Awesome coolness!!

[merqury5]

yess hallgrim dette var sprekt. Hadde kroppen min blitt utsatt for dette er jeg ganske sikker på at jeg hadde blitt lam, lam som i død.

jeg vet at du er god med en braastad og. Vi ses neste påske regner jeg med.

[Ferdinandtg]

herregud...

[VaflFtw]

Herre min hatt! For en jævlig god hallingdanser!

[stupidonr1]

Morro å se en flink folkedanser!!! :)

[larzi13]

This is one of the best vids on youtube:). I play hardanger fiddle and i love halling:D

[90sbabyqueen]

i llike it its something new i mean they can surely mix his dancing with another kind & it will be incredible

[pumpuki]

so many "S's" in this language !!!!

[notblondeswede]

hahah "han er norsk"

[christoffera]

For et Spark!

[luvinlefse]

He sure can kick!

I've always thought of this norwegian dancing as the time at the party when the guys want to show off a little bit in hopes to impress the girls.

Still pretty cool though.

[ssdahle]

It definitely has a "strut your stuff" quality to it

[marodjcula]

hoho. "fine jentor"!! there's no breakdance, only halling. it's interesting, doing folkdance in such a mainstream context.

[johnsonvasquez13]

that was kool a mix of breakdancing.

[ImperiousViking]

though breakdance has been around for about 50 year, and halling, has been around for several 100 years...

men men...
