Thanks for the pictures but I really doubt that those two people look like W-A and Maxima.

I'm sorry. I think you're right. I don't know where my head was.

The first picture is from the event of June 19, 1991 on the eve of Haakon's birthday. The second picture is from the event of June 20, 1991 on the day of Haakon's birthday.

In the first picture, they are assembled for the first dance where Haakon is partnered with his mother and Queen Margrethe, Haakon's godmother is partnered with King Harald.

 

[Josefine]

thank you they seems to have many galas in norwayi think there was a gala when i was confirmed also

The dance they're doing is the Polonaise. It is a quite slow, regal dance originally from Poland that is quite common to do at the Palace in Oslo. (Also often danced in Norwegian schools, at least the ones I've attended, because it isn't hard to do at all. If you can walk, you can do it.)

It's basically walking with a partner, to music, stopping now and then to make a doorway with your hands so that the other people behind you may pass through. If you are many people dancing, you can get something akin to a tunnel created by people.

It's a fun dance because it is easy to talk.

 

[Josefine]

what a great job you have done mandy

I think that's King Baudoin of Belgium standing beside the lady. Queen Fabiola is seated right in front of him.

I find these pictures very interesting, because it seems, that the two CP-couple (norwegian and holland) were already in this time close friends, not only after the weddings in Norway or in Holland...
