Kvääni dance doesn’t exist!
…or at least that’s what many people tend to think, because of history of colonization, political and structural discrimination against Kvääni people, and the strict religion within many Kvääni communities.
Experience Karhutanssi - a Kvääni dance performance with live music.
Traditional dance and music meets contemporary dance and street dance, performed by top dancers and top musicians from different fields in Norway.
The Kvääni choreographer Astrid Serine Hoel has researched dances and movements from Kvääni communities.
Movement is identity
Movement is culture
Movement is nature
Kvääni dance exists!
