DVD
Kaip Moku – Taip Šoku – Traditional Lithuanian Dances
Sutaras SMF DVD 002 (2006)

24 Lithuanian folk dances, demonstrated in a forest and other outdoor folksy locations by a not particularly watchable young dance group, without visible musicians. There are promising awakenings in Lithuanian folk music, but dull stuff like this, even though it’s useful to know what the dances look like, is more likely to stifle than spark a boom. www.sutaras.lt
