Experience an evening of both group dances and partner dances set to folk music tailored to steps and figures from the Danish folk dance tradition. Det Lyse Bal presents newly composed and newly arranged music for string quintet and percussion, with Kristine Heebøll’s compositions at the core. The dance master guides the audience through the evening in collaboration with Nordisk Dans Aarhus, and there will be both a short dance workshop beforehand and guidance during the event.
Nordisk Dans is an initiative created by young enthusiasts for traditional dance and music and began in Copenhagen in November 2016. Since then, the concept has spread to Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, Esbjerg, Roskilde and Svendborg, where dance evenings typically combine instruction and live music.
