Nordic Dance - Mpls
Kari joined the Twin Cities Nordic Dance community in 2006 at the invitation of life long dancer Carol Sersland. Kari and Carol began collaborating on programs to preserve, perpetuate, and push the boundaries of Nordic Dance in the Twin Cities and beyond.
They dance and teach together in school residencies and workshops from North Dakota to Spring Grove, MN. Tapestry Folkdance Center has become a home for Nordic Dance with includes Danish, Swedish, and Finnish guest teachers and live musicians. They co-lead Twin Cities Nordic Dancers teaching set dances and village dances from Norway and Sweden for fun and performance!

Past Projects Together include:
