The group was founded in 1982 by Ian and Margaretha Ferguson. Their knowledge and joy of Swedish folkdance became a magnet for those who wanted to have fun and develop their skills through traditions of their homeland.

Since their inception, the folkdancers have performed every year at SWEA's annual Christmas Fair held at the Harbourfront Centre. This remains a highlight of our year!

In 1988, Lloyd Thompson came to play for the SWEA Folkdancers. The collaboration between music and dance resulted in new and interesting compilations that are still authentic.

The TSFS now has about 50 members. Most of us dance and sing. We meet regularly to rehearse our choral and dance repertoire. Our goal is to share our love for Swedish choral music and folkdance and welcome opportunities to perform for all audiences.
