Leikaringen
Heimhug is the oldest existing Scandinavian folk dance
group in the Chicago area. The group is one of three
original Norwegian "Leikaringens" or "ring dance" societies
formed in Chicago. The name Heimhug signifies the
yearning for home. A feeling shared and expressed by
the Norwegian immigrants who founded the group over 75 years
ago.
There are
approximately 25 adult members of Leikaringen Heimhug, many
of Norwegian descent. The group practices and performs
a wide variety of Norwegian and other Scandinavian dances
for its own enjoyment and for audiences in the Mid-west.
Leikaringen
Heimhug practices at First United Methodist Church, 666
Graceland Avenue, DesPlaines, Illinois, every Wednesday
evening at 7:30 p.m. from September through June. New
members are always welcome. |
