The internationally known Stoughton Norwegian Dancers will present their annual “Norse Afternoon of Fun”  This annual event is the Norwegian Dancers’ answer to “cabin fever”. The combination of colorful Norwegian costumes (bunads), rousing music and exuberant ethnic folk dancing produces the necessary elements to relieve the “winter blues.” The lively group of dancers, comprised of 23 Stoughton High School students, will present a program that includes humorous, acrobatic and audience participation dances that are appealing to all ages.

Twenty students from Stoughton elementary schools will also be dressed in bunads and accompany the Stoughton Norwegian Dancers for select dances.

A bake sale featuring authentic pastries and baked goods including Lefse – all prepared by the Stoughton Norwegian Dancer parents – will be available for purchase.

Admission is $5 for adults if tickets are purchased in advance or $8 at the door. Attendees are encouraged to wear their Norwegian Bunads or Norwegian sweaters to help make this a Scandinavian event. All children under the age of 10 who are dressed in their national or Norwegian costume will receive free admission. Stoughton Area School District students in grades five or below also attend free. Admission is $1 for children who are under the age of 14.
