MUSIC AND CHAIN DANCE

Traditional Faroese music is primarily vocal. The traditional "Faroese dance" is a medieval chain dance, which is danced in a circle. The dance only survived in the Faroe Islands, as apposed to the other European countries, where it was banned by the church due to its pagan origin.
