Ormurin Langi (The Long Serpent)

"The Faroese kvæði about the Norwegian king Olav Tryggvason. The dance is the traditional Faroese ringdance."

It's the strong sense of community that moves me here. The music, the rhythm, the closeness. A strong Viking people facing difficult winters in the far north supporting each other in a close community. This dance is a validation of that support. My ancestors were there. I wish I could be there too.
