Today, Soveldaja has four groups of dancers: the mixed group of dancers with a lot of experience in folk dancing and a big wish to do so, an eager mixed group of dancers with previous experience, a group of hard-working dancers who wish to dance a lot and an energetic female group. The Folk Dance Ensemble Soveldaja has participated in the nationwide dance celebrations, Gaudeamus festival and Finnish-Estonian dance celebrations. They go dancing and having fun at folklore festivals in foreign countries, but also smaller dancing events in Estonia, for example the V\u00f5ru Folk Dance Festival, different dance competitions and winter dance celebrations all over Estonia. During their time outside the practising rooms, the members of Soveldaja can often be seen in folk dance events in Tallinn. The name of the ensemble Soveldaja is derived from the Estonian word \u201csoveldama\u201d, which means creating, arranging, designing. In addition to the ensemble\u2019s principle to create beauty and positive emotions through dance, the group\u2019s instructors themselves have been productive at creating dances. During previous years, a big part of Soveldaja\u2019s repertoir consisted of Helen Reimand\u2019s author dances. Also, Elo Unt, the current instructor, has arr many dances for the group.<\/p>\n<p>With the longest history of all the <strong>Tallinn University choirs<\/strong>, the Women\u2019s Choir is a group of vivacious women who love singing. The choir includes current students as well as alumni. The conductors of the choir is Toomas Voll. Our wide-ranging repertoire consists of both clerical and secular music. We have successfully participated in many choir contests, both in Estonia and abroad, for example in Belgium, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We love to sing and travel! We make choir life even more fun with various events for the singers or with other cultural groups. Initiating new singers has become a tradition, as well as Christmas parties, summer outings and many other activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tallinn University vocal ensemble Vox Nova<\/strong> started in Autumn 2015 on the basis of Tallinn University Chambe Choir singers. Most of it\u2019s singers are Tallinn University students and alumni and perform a wide a capella repertoire from early music to pop-jazz arrangements.
