The Lithuanian Folk dance ensemble “Grandis” with its youthful enthusiasm and
love of dance brings joy to those watching.
“Grandis” started out with a group of twelve dancers. Today the ensemble has
grown to over fifty dancers from ages four to seventy-four. Dancing is one form
by which many Lithuanians preserve and promote their rich history and ethnic
heritage.
Dance is a celebration of the human spirit, an art that transcends the
boundaries of language, age and culture. Folk dancing is a form of social
dancing that has become part of the customs and traditions of a people. Most
folk dances were originally created among people in villages and were passed on
from generation to generation in a particular region. Today, dance groups
perform in their national costumes and so help preserve their heritage and
traditions.
