Nordic Roots Dance Project

Kari Tauring and Carol Sersland explore the ancient roots of Nordic culture by integrating runes, stav (staff) rhythm and Old Norse language with traditional dance forms preserved by Nordic immigrants to Minnesota, culminating in inter-active community performances.

Kari Tauring is a fiscal year 2011 recipient of a Folk and Traditional Arts grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board through the arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the Legacy Amendment as voted on by the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
