The folkdance society “Kandali” (Tallinn, Estonia):

The folk dance society Kandali was founded in Tallinn, 1978 and about 900 juveniles have danced there since then. Kandali’s repertoire consists of old Estonian folk dances, party games and stylized dances, most of them are vivid, joyful and sizzle. A lot of them tell to the audience some story about old Estonians lifestyle and activities so they can give a little overview about ups and downs of life and traditions of Estonian forebears. The dancers wear Estonian national folk costumes which are colourful and beautiful with many embroideries and other decorations.
Dancers have two purposes, performing and travelling. Kandali has performed about 1750 times and visited more than 50 different countries in Europe, Asia, America and Australia.
