GERMAN FOLK DANCERS
Donau Schwaben Dance Group
The Danube Swabian Dance Group was founded in 1952. The group was a way for newly arrived Donauschwaben immigrants to maintain a cultural link to their homeland. It was and still is our purpose to continue the customs and traditions of our ancestors through dance. Generation after generation has proudly helped keep this dream alive as we enter into our fourth and fifth generations of dancers.
The dance group consists of multiple age groups from children to adults. We perform Danube Swabian, German and Austrian folk dances throughout Southern California. Each year our groups perform at various Oktoberfest events, Maifest events, private events and our own Donauschwaben events including Kirchweih and Mother’s Day. In addition, our children’s group presents plays, songs and poems at the Mother’s Day program and the Christmas program. Each year the Dance Group holds its Gala Königsball where our youth perform ballroom dances and we crown the Youth group King and Queen for that year.
