Tevlinga has limited time, and participants in “Skinkompasse” and “hat kick” must register in order to participate in the premieres. There will be a limited number of people who can participate here, and to secure space, you can even negotiate here: https://forms.gle/rthvZPCGXuFXaBk19

Premiered competitions:
The prizes host given to attract the best Arendal has to offer this week, and have the following stages:
1st place: 2500 kr
2nd place: 1500 kr
3rd place: 1000 kr
Rules:
Ham compass:
The exercise is a test of coordination, rhythm, and endurance, in which a dancer dances across a cross of swords, sticks or bands without losing rhythm or balance. Here it is permissible to come into contact with the bands, as long as one does not lose the step or rhythm, and stays in with the music, and his own cross.
Here you can see the verdict from another trial in Skinkompasse:

Hat Kick:
The exercise is traditionally “known as hallingkast” or “rundkast” in Norwegian, and involves kicking a hat off a cane from as high as possible. Some gongs are also considered for style points, but this time the show opens up alternative techniques from the Nordic countries, and premieres the absolute high (not the relative height). A throw/kick must be done alone, with its own body and power and hit the hat as high as the mogleg with one foot.
Here you can see a traditional Norwegian hurling throw - if you want to try this technique:
