Written for Virtual Finland by Ms. Sari Heikkilä, M. A., Teacher of folk dancing, November 1992. Updated in January 1998 by Mr. Kari Bergholm, President of CIOFF The oldest Finnish dances At the end of the 17th centur y "Purpuri" ... Modern organized folk dancing Kaustinen Folk Music Festival In the eyes of foreigners Finnish folk dances may look quite peculiar, and they certainly differ considerably from the dances of other European nations, including neighbouring countries. Still, Finnish folk dances are mostly variations of old court and ballroom dances once fashionable all over Europe; only in this remote corner of the continent they have been better preserved than elsewhere. Most of the Finnish folk dances we know were collected at the turn of the century and consequently represent the dance heritage of the 19th century. Fortunately folk traditions do not easily discard the past, and many older elements and indeed whole dances have been kept alive to this day. top Th e oldest Finnish dances top At the end of the 17th centur y the French adopted English country dances, calling them "contra dances". New dances were quickly created after the original models and soon spread to other countries. The steps were much simpler than in the minuet, and contra dances immediately gained great popularity among ordinary people.
