Camper reviews

"The first time [at camp], I was somewhat new to Scandinavian music and after having the most MAGICAL week at NFF I was completely hooked. NFF has literally been a life-changing experience for me. NFF is not just a place to learn new tunes and dances, but it is also a wonderfully inclusive and warm community which encourages connection across the entire US as well as Scandinavia, and inspires its members to carry on some very special traditional music and dance.”

Our program and more

Evening dance party

Folk dances of Sweden and Norway

We offer daytime dance classes and evening dance parties. Our dance program is designed for all levels of dancers.

You don't need to attend camp with a dance partner. We change partners frequently during classes and the dance parties.

We have live music for all classes and dance parties.

Outdoor fiddle class

Folk music of Sweden and Norway

Our music classes are offered at three levels for fiddle, hardingfele, and nyckelharpa. Singing classes include singing for dance and traditional songs. Classes are generally taught "by ear." The Gammaldans Band is open to all instruments and voices.

Some years we have additional musical offerings such as Norwegian "flat" fiddle, kohorn (cowhorn), kulning (cow calling), or seljefløyte (willow flute).

A limited number of Hardanger fiddles and nyckelharpas are available for loan at camp, with prior arrangement.
