SPINDULYS is under the direction of Danguole R. Varnas.  It's origins can be traced to 1949, when Ona Razutiene, a Lithuanian immigrant, founded the first Lithuanian folk song and dance group in Los Angeles.  This original group continued to thrive and grow, and in 1977 was re-named 'SPINDULYS'. The complete history is available (in Lithuanian) as a Historical Book.

In the past decades, SPINDULYS has distinguished itself in numerous performances at local and international song and folk dance festivals around the world.
