Marit Hultman loves folk dance.  She began folk dancing when she was ten years old and since the age of eighteen she has been a dance instructor.  She is from Sondre Land, married, and the mother of three children, two boys and a girl. Her husband and two of her children are also planning to attend the stevne.

Marit and her husband were pleased to participate in the 1992 7-Lag Stevne in North Dakota along with a Norwegian folkdance group from Numedal.  That year her dance group performed in Hanska, Morris, Fosston, Duluth and Minneapolis.  Marit has American relatives that she hopes to meet while here. Her mother’s cousin lives in Kalispell, Montana. 

In Norway Marit works with the mentally disabled, a job she finds extremely rewarding.
