Abstract

This article is about the curation of youth dance programmes in museums that have been initiated and produced by the Norwegian Centre for Traditional Music and Dance (Sff). Located in Trondheim, Norway, this contains one of Northern Europe’s largest dance film archives. Through different channels of dissemination, the centre makes its old dance recordings relevant for different groups of users and potential users of various ages. This article explores how we can facilitate a dialogue amongst the youth on the relevance of the old dance recordings, and how we can influence the way young people understand their own dance expressions. The article also discusses whether conversations about dance and dance traditions combined with dance instruction make the links between the older and the younger generations’ dance expressions any easier.
