Halling with Hallgrim - Bronze Age dancing by FRIKAR academy is a master class in Northern Europes oldest living dance tradition, the halling dance. It's a playful dance with turns, jumps, rolls, kicks and acrobatics which are documented on petroglyphs back to Scandinavian bronze era, 7-800 BC.
In todays session we focus only on the moves which we can track back more then 2500 years.
Hallgrim Hansegård is a internationally acclaimed choreographer and multiple national champion of halling dance. He learnt by the elders born in the 1920's and has extended his research to archaeological findings and ancient scriptures. Hallgrim has also studied similar traditions worldwide including 4 months in a Chinese kung fu temple, international yoga teacher education in India and multiple collaborations with capoeiristas in Brazil. He is also the leader of FRIKAR X, a national talent program for movement artists supported by the Norwegian state.
