Norwegian Dance: Halling / Laus

[kimberk01]

This is fantastic! Thanks for posting! Best demo of the tradition I have seen on video!

Of course it is the best as these are the best at Halling! Loved it!

The laughter has to do with the audeince seeing the subtle competitive interplay between the dancers. Hard to see in low resolution and so far away.

I keep smiling. Why are the Norwegians so

adorable?! x'33 ♥

But... I still don't understand... It looked really good for me but ppl keep laughing. Is it some kind of comedy or something?

@xoxNicKyLiiciOuSxox It's not that's it bad or comical. It's just that lack of space on the stage. Laus, as you can see, a very acrobatic dance and takes up alot of space. Their almost runing into eachother and at some points, where they've come to the point that they're kicking the hat of the stick, they're not sure of who goes first...and it creates a bit of confusion.

Very, very cool! A fun and stylish way to bestow a trophy -- LOL. I'm amazed by what those dancers can accomplish in what I imagine to be a rather small space. Thanks for posting. ~Terry in South Florida
