The folk dance group Viisuveeretajad was founded in 1988. The capital of Estonia situating in Northern Europe, facing the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland. We have a four seasons climate –  spring, summer, autumn and winter, which might seem a bit a challenge to southern people. With little over 1.3 million inhabitants and 45 300 km2, it Is not a big country, but includes 2222 sea island, ancient forest – full of berries and mushrooms, clear lakes, sandy beaches, bogs and marshes.  Migratory birds come in the spring and leave in the autumn. It has a fascinating history.
