NORDLYS, from the Portland, Oregon area, has been performing Scandinavian folk dances for audiences in Washington and Oregon since 1987.  Several members have been with the group since its inception, and there are instances of multi-generational participation as well.  Many of the dancers are of Scandinavian descent, and their costumes reflect a particular Scandinavian cultural heritage.  Irene Landeen, a dancer and seamstress extraordinaire, has hand-created many of the costumes you see in the pictures on this website.
