Description
Vigstamo was a small farm in the Gudbrand Valley in Norway, and Vigstamoin would have been the name of the man living there. in Denmark we call this dance a polsk , but in this area of Norway, they call the dance a springleik. If you watch a traditional fiddler playing a polsk , you will notice that the strong beats are the 1st and the 3rd beat of every bar – never the 2nd. This is very important to keep in mind to get the right swing of a polsk.
