Performance

Song, dance and history of Hindeloopen:

 This show is the one that is most frequently performed: dance and song, alternated with explanations of Hindeloopen's history and its characteristic costume. This is also the show that is the most flexible. Adjustment to a location, shortening or lengthening the show, more attention to the dances, history of Hindeloopen or its costume, everything is possible.

Furthermore, we can add the teaching of a few of our dances. It will not take long for our experienced dancers to teach you some of our well known dances. In the old days, the songs and dances from this show were sung and danced in Hindeloopen and other seashore villages. Apart from the Dutch songs that were customary then, we also have a number of old songs in the Hindeloopen language on our repertoire. When dancing and singing, the group is accompanied by musicians who mostly use accordions. Other instruments are for example: flute, drums, stampstick, gûfe (rommelpot), 'Noordske balke' and a hurdy-gurdy.

We will explain the history of Hindeloopen and several details of the Hindeloopen costume, by showing you a series of slides. After that, a costume show gives you an impression of the many variations of the rich Hindeloopen costume. Dependent on the time and location, it is possible to show you various children's costumes. During the break and afterwards, you will be able to see how a painter applies stylish Hindeloopen curls and flowers on furniture, (dinner)trays or other utensils. A presentation of slides about painting Hindeloopen style is also possible.
