Here you find links to the co-dances that will be danced during BARNLEK 2023 in Lerum.

Before each BARNLEK, each of the Nordic countries choose a dance to represent their country. These co-dances can then be learned by the groups. The co-dances will be used during the festival. Dances from the different Nordic countries have many similarities but also differences, which is clearly evident during a festival where dances from the traditions of the different countries are taught. The co-dances are recorded beforehand and you find the instructions, music and video in the links below.

They are as well linked in this playlist on Youtube:
