About Žaisa

Folk group from Lithuania "Zaisa" started in 1988.

The aim of the folk group is to preserve and introduce our forefathers' culture. Our  program contains original and treated folk dances, songs, plays with songs, and dances from XIX-XX century. The members are very cheerful men and women who want to come together in their free time and enjoy dancing and singing. Songs, dances, and rounds are learned from folklore collections and from compatriots met during annual folklore expeditions. At present, there are about 30 people in our folk group.

The group is accompanied by a folk orchestra.

The folk group constantly is performed in concerts and festivals in Lithuania. During the existence of the Group, more than 1000 concerts have been organized, a recording was made, and performances for TV were given. The group has released several compact discs.
