About the Teacher:

Lee Otterholt, born in the US of Norwegian-American parents, lived and worked for many years in Norway as a professional dancer, dance teacher and choreographer. Before he moved to Southern Califonia in 2003, Lee was professor of folkloristic dance at the Norwegian National College of Oslo and founder/leader of the Center for Inter-national Folk Dance in Oslo. He was also responsible for the establishment of 4 active folk dance clubs and 3 performing groups in Norway. In addition to choreographing folk dance for amateur and professional ensembles in Europe, Lee has choreographed other forms of dance for the theater and television.

For the last 20 years, Lee has been active on the international recreational scene, folk dance in Europe, the US and East Asia. He has material from a wide range of sources and is always finding or developing new dances for his teaching repertoire. Dances that he has presented in the US include Topansko Oro, Brancno Oro, Krivatvorena, Paraliakos, Kotchari, Ya Da Kalinushku Lomala and Cobankat. Lee has an easy-going style and presents the steps and essence of the dance clearly and with great fun.

Please help us welcome Lee on his return to Tapestry and the Twin Cities!
