Traditional Icelandic Dance
Icelandic Vikivaki folk dances. This dance is done in a circle to
traditional folk music which is sung while dancing. The famed Icelandic
dance known as the "Vikivaki" (pronounced "wickywacky"). This ancient dance
was performed with great gusto at many Viking Feast and it goes without
saying that it was EXTREMELY popular in Iceland.
Icelandic Schottische. Much of Iceland's indigenous music and dance
traditions virtually disappeared centuries ago in the wake of strict
religious bans. What remains is predominantly of later Danish origin. This
schottische was taught by a folk dance team from Reykjavik. The tune, an old
folk song, was learned by Gunnar Hahn from an Icelandic couple in Stockholm.
Islenzkur skottis is especially suitable for teaching children the
schottische, as there is no fully closed-position turn in the second half,
thereby making the dance easier for the inexperienced or "shy" dancer. In
keeping with the buoyant spirit of the dance, footwork should be sprightly -
not at all "sluggish," but firmly under control. Pulling out, with bent
elbows, on the turn, will facilitate the counterbalance needed for maximum
momentum during the rotation.
