Stoughton Norwegian Dancers in 2017.

media release: The internationally known Stoughton Norwegian Dancers will present their annual “Norse Afternoon of Fun” performance on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. in the Stoughton High School gymnasium, located at 600 Lincoln Avenue in Stoughton. Doors for this event will open at 12:30 p.m.

This annual event is the Norwegian Dancers’ answer to “cabin fever.” The combination of colorful Norwegian costumes, known as bunads, rousing music, and exuberant ethnic folk dancing produces the necessary elements to relieve those winter blues.

The lively group of dancers, which includes 25 Stoughton High School students, will present a program that includes humorous, acrobatic, and audience-participation dances appealing to all ages. Additionally, twenty students from Stoughton Elementary schools will accompany the high school dancers for select dances. 

In addition to dancing, there will be a bake sale featuring authentic Norwegian pastries and baked goods, including Lefse, which the Stoughton Norwegian Dancer parent group prepares. There will also be a raffle drawing that includes the following fantastic prizes plus many more:

$1,000 cash prize (donated by Eldon Homes) 

$4 Baskets & 4 Pints of Custard a Month for a Year

$$500 Gift Certificate to Conant Automotive

$500 Gift Card for Senior or Child Photo Session - Joree Ketelsen Photography

Dale of Norway Sweater — a $250 value (donated by Nordic Nook)

Multiple Cash prizes of $100, $200 & $250

All proceeds support the Stoughton High School Norwegian Dancers. 

Admission is $5 for adults if tickets are purchased in advance or $10 at the door. Stoughton Area School District students in grades five or below can attend this exciting event for free. Admission is $1 for all children who are under the age of 14. Tickets can be purchased in advance through current Norwegian dancer families, select Stoughton businesses, or by emailing stoughtonnorwegiandancers@gmail.com.
