Pillerkaar is very grateful for the support we receive from ERC! 🇪🇪 🇺🇸
💃 Preserving Estonian Folk Dance for Over 55 Years
The Estonian Relief Committee (ERC) is proud to support Pillerkaar, the Washington, D.C.-area Estonian folk dance group that has been preserving and sharing Estonian dance traditions since 1971.
For more than five decades, Pillerkaar has brought Estonian culture to life through performances at national celebrations, community events, ESTO festivals, European Embassy Open Days, and even international performances in Australia. Today, dancers ranging from their twenties to their sixties continue to gather each week, united by a shared passion for Estonian folk traditions.
Folk dancing is more than just learning steps—it is about building community, celebrating our heritage, and passing traditions from one generation to the next.
✨ Have you ever danced the famous Kungla Polka? If not, now is your chance! Join Pillerkaar to learn this beloved dance or enjoy one of their performances during the Scandinavian Festival in New Jersey over Labor Day Weekend 2026.
💙 ERC is honored to support organizations like Pillerkaar that help keep Estonian culture vibrant for generations to come.
