Dance Videos
Tips:
- Many Scandinavian musicians and dancers are on YouTube.
- When using a web search engine (Google or Bing, for example), use symbols to spell place names precisely. Vågå will give better results than Vaga.
- Watching dance videos can help you practice and remember the dances- we do a lot of them!
