Dear friends,

We are all 11 and 12 years old and we are very excited to be taking part in Eurodance 2012. We would like to present you our students performing a traditional Polish dance called “Oberek”. This dance consists of many lifts and jumps and it is danced by couples who are placed on a circle and rotate both around the whole circle and around their own axis (to the right). We have really enjoyed practicing and filming our dance. We danced “Oberek” during our school festivities in June 2012. We hope you are going to enjoy watching our kids dancing :). Good luck to all of you! Greetings from Chalin in Poland.

The dance is created according to Lithuanian folk tale "A Bean" and  Lithuanian folk song "An Old Man was angry and scolded the children ...".
This is a playful children's dance  with simple shapes. The movements illustrate the text of the song: planting, watering, growing the bean, and the boys are playing the angry elderly, who chastise the children for picking beans.

Here is the Norwegian entry. We are pupils from 7th grade, and are going to dance a Norwegian traditional folk dance, called reinlender. Reinlender is the most common pair dance within “gammaldans” (which translates to "old dance"), a small set of nordic dances that became broadly popular in the late 19th century.

This year students from the teaching education have come to teach us the dance. We danced and filmed just a few days ago, at a beautiful place called Saltholmen. We had a fantastic day out in the sun, dancing in our national costumes. 
We are glad to present our Norwegian dance in the Eurodance project 2012, and we look forward to see the different dances from our partner schools all over Europe.
