My parents, father Norwegian, mother american, met when my mother on the boat to Norway. She went to summer school in Oslo and my father was going home for summer holiday while studying in the US. Funny thing is, my father was a city boy but my mother was very into Norwegian traditional culture. This back in 1949.
My great great grandparents were feom Oslo. Great great grandfather had a farm "Winterton" [pronounced "vin-ter-tin"] and they came to Ellis Island for work. So technically, im European American (I know nothing of my father's side, since he's not in my life)
I've managed to get myself into a wormhole of learning more about my culture and heritage tonight and I'm glad I ended up here, my grandpa on my dad's side is from Norway and my dad used to live there though him and I were born in the US and I feel like seems how my grandpa died a few months after I was born I never got to learn much at all about where my family came from (I'm only recently learning how to speak Norwegian by myself because my dad doesn't know, and I'm finally learning more about our traditions and things beyond the stories and folk tales)
Thank you for the comment everyone. This was from the time when I enrolled in the International Summer School at the Univ.of Oslo in 2012. Very recommended if you would like to take particular university courses but also getting to know deeper about the Norwegian culture and people.
Ooh!! My family is originally from setesdal (I was born and raised in the states tho) and I’d recognize those bunad anywhere!! I’m doing some research on Norwegian folk arts for an art exhibition exploring my heritage and the folk arts of Norway. I’m glad I stumbled upon this. :)
This dance is called Jämtpolska, a Swedish dance. It's a variant of Slängpolska från Närke, another popular Swedish folk dance. Both of them are in the Swedish Green Book of folk dances. 😊
@@Marco-bf4uu Jämtland is located on the Norwegian border. The Danish king gave the former Norwegian area of Jämtland to the Swedes as part of the spoils of war after the great war over Scania, which lies 800 km further south. The dance is a medieval dance, and therefore has Norwegian roots. I would assume that it has also been danced on the Norwegian side through the centuries.
@@Marco-bf4uu probably because someone saw it in Sweden and liked it. There's a lot of borrowing of folk dances from country to country. It's not uncommon for people from folk dance groups to travel to expand their repertoire.
@ahkkariq7406 It's very unlikely that this dance is any older than 100 years or so. Contrary to popular belief, most surviving folk dances from Sweden are from the 1840s onward, with one or two exceptions. Jämtpolska was likely composed during the Swedish folk dance movement in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. The first record we have of it is from the 1930s. So, medieval Norwegian influence is doubtful.
Jämtpolska / Rättvikspolska . It may exist in other versions or under other names, too, since these melodies often traveled and took up local variations. In this clip they play it in two styles: th-cam.com/video/JE39rV63Soo/w-d-xo.html
