Norway Lodge
Folk Dancers
Are Popular
Leikarring folk dancing group,
since Salem's Thor lodge was or
ganized eight years ago there was
talk of -Leikarring."
But the local Sons (and daugh
ters) of Norway never quite got
around to working out folk dan
cing steps and songs which iden
tify what the Norwegians call a
Leikarring folk dancing group.
That is, not until a month ago
when 10 members plunged into
the dancing and singing project
under the tutelage and inspiration
of Sylvia Kjeldstad, a young Nor
wegian school teacher who arriv
ed here recently on a year's vaca
tion with the E. F. Arneson fam
ily. Miss Klejdstad taught the dance
routines and the songs, enlisted
an accordionist and more often
than not hummed the tunes other
native land for the accordionist as
well as the members to learn.
No Sheet Music
Despite the absence of sheet
music Mrs. Nels Tonning learned
quickly and the others picked up
the sons which are sung in Nor
wegian during the dancing to il
lustrate them.
As their debut a p p roached.
these members made their own
costumes, patterned after pic
tures they had of traditional cos
tumes of the Norwegian commun
ity of Hardanger. Bright red
sleeveless jackets over white
blouses or shirts are worn by the
men and women in black skirts or
dark trousers. The women add to
their basic costume white aprons
and colorful embroidery work on
both jackets and aprons.
Danced for President
When the big night arrived for
the Leikarring group's first per
formance, it was a special Thor
lodge, Sons of Norway, meeting to
honor a visit by the national lodge
president, E. B. Hauke of Minneapolis.
Success was immediate and
when the lodge and guests kept
applauding for one more encore.
Miss Kjeldstad smiled and said
"no more," explaining with a
touch of showmanship, "We'll stop
while they still like our dance."
Performers In Demand
Having established a reputation
in short order, the Norwegian per
formers are already in demand.
They danced Saturday night for
the YMCA-YWCA Festival of Na
tions program at the local YMCA
and will appear Friday on the
League of Women Voters' United
Nations night program at May
flower hall. Already the Leikar
ring group has a request to per
form in Portland.
Local lodge leaders, while glad
to have their group aid in public
as well as lodge functions, are
anxious now to expand the Leik
arring group. Most of the larger
lodges of Sons of Norway have
had similar groups for many
years as a definite tie to their Nor
wegian heritage. As a matter of
fact, most of the original Leikar-
