BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO Prairie Public Broadcasting) – Dancing Dakota could soon be North Dakota’s official state waltz after a bill was heard in the Senate Agriculture and Veterans Affairs Committee. Having already passed the house, the legislation needs to get through the full senate and be signed by Gov. Kelly Armstrong.
The bill would establish a state waltz and allow the chairman of the North Dakota Council on the Arts to designate someone to serve as the official state troubadour for a term of five years.
Chuck Suchy of Mandan wrote Dancing Dakota and would be the first state troubadour.
The bill was sent to the senate floor with a unanimous “do pass” recommendation.
