Come join us at our next rehearsal. Everyone is welcomed. Dance experience is optional.
Our 50th Anniversary calls us to look back on our story, in context with the presence and influence of Germans, particularly Bavarians, in America. By the mid-1800's, Germans had become the largest ethnic group in the United States, and Bavarians became part of that migration a few decades later. The first American Schuhplattler Verein on record was Edelweiss of Chicago in 1914. Other groups formed shortly after in northern states from New York to Minnesota, and by WWII, there were at least 20 such Vereine in America.
