some of that folk music that inspired edvard grieg can still be heard today, and one of the best waysform contemporary dance all around norway and beyond, inspired by nature and traditional norwegian folk roots. they have agreed to come and show me some of the traditional elements found in norway's dance. fiddles play. the dance, it is mostly sort of a show off dance. 100 years ago women also did that dance, but it is mostly boys, or men, doing the dance, because we want to impress the other men or other women. put the right foot in front of the left. believe me, this is harder thanit left. believe me, this is harder than it looks. i think ithink i'm i think i'm getting the hang of it. one, two. then we can move down here. no! so, what is the relationship between the dance and music. this is our national instrument. some people say the music came because of the dance, and some say the other way. i think they are depending on each other. for me, and for many, it is very important to use the music, dancing, and the music makes me want to do certainly some steps and routines. it is life.
