background information
from rex@levee
Pronounce "Mand" as the English "man."
Common misspelling: "Mann"
Common confusion: men do not hook elbows.
Common malpractice: "flying" does not belong in this dance in any but a gymnastic setting and by mutual consent.
The dance, although said to be from Himmerland, near Randers, does not occur in the Danish "Folkedanse fra Randerseignen".
