Provenance: the dance was described by Johannes Egedal in 1916, during his trip documenting dances in Jylland. The original
notes from Egedal's trip to Jylland from FFF's (Foreningen til Folkedansens Fremme) archive, and this dance has only
survived because it was included in Grüner Nielsen's book Vore ældste folkedanse".
