The dance group Lekstugan Verdandi in Sweden

Lekstugan was formed 1921. ” Lekstugan” is Swedish for the game cottage, in Sweden we use the same word when adults play and has fun together. We dance both Swedish and foreign dances, traditional and own compositions.

The music is played of two accordions.

Performance

We play and dances on both own and other entertainments.

We arrange a dance festival in Landskrona with participants from southern Sweden and other places. Pictures from the festival 2003.

Sometimes, we travel away in order to meet other teams and get new influences. We have been in Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Luxembourg, Hungary and Tjeckoslovakia. In the summer 2003 was we at an international folkdance festival in Holland. Pictures from Holland. Year 2005 was we on the big Baltic Sea festival in Grömitz in northern Germany with 123 participating teams. Pictures from Grömitz.

Training

On Sundays, we are gathering in our cottage. The musicians begin with their training in the afternoon then it continues with the dance training in the evening. As the name implies has we primarily fun so the training suits also for them who does not want to participate on performance.

Lekstugan Verdandi is since 1980 members in the Swedish Folkdansringen.
