Väva Vadmal or weaving frieze is a Swedish folk dance from 1800s. A


precursor are however disclosed under the name of Branicula. This Braniculahar
probably interspersed with elements from singing games offered by popular
Getabocksdansen, and eventually giving rise to Väva Vadmal.
This dance is a contra dance that is danced in pairs in line with a number of
tours led by the so-called Running couple and generally performed by 8 to 12
people. Variations of dance are recorded in several locations, including the
Delsbo, Bjuv, and Ronneberga. Many of the dance tours are old and can be found
in English and French contra dances from the 1600s and 1700s.
