Waves among the Vikings

I know, most of you know me as Sejd, but my real name is Flemming. I want to tell you all that I just came home from Denmark where I had the joy of dancing three full hours at the "Slangens Oeje" (the eye of the snake) under the direction of Mette Feilberg the instructor. Here in the cold north of Scandinavia I realized there was a cultural difference in expressing dance. In Copenhagen, there was a lot of happy yelling and stumping of the feet. I was first taken aback, but then I realized - well of course! it's the Theutonic blod of the Vikings which still rolls in their veins. The studio was quite old, meaning, a quite beaten up floor, but the music was great and the time spent dancing with everyone absolutely fantastic.
Hugs to all
