Stev
gamle-stev or "gamlestev" is the oldest type. It is likely that gamle-stev were danced.  The earliest gamle-stev have been found from around the end of the 1200's. Most gamle-stevs are from Setesdal and Vest-Telemark. Some gamle-stev may be part of folk songs. The gamle-stev is the only part of the folk song which was passed down from generation to generation. The rest of the folk song is no longer known.
