The DONAU DANCERS 

The Donau Dancers are one of the dance groups of the Schwaben Club in Kitchener, Ontario.  The group started a few years back and is largely for dancers aged 35+, similar to the “Trachtengruppe”, which was a very large and active adult group out of the club in the ‘70s through to 1994. The group performs at club functions, community events and festivals all across North America.

As a folk dancing group, our intentions are to preserve and offer a unique glimpse into the rich Donau culture and traditions. The Donau style of folk dancing is fun, slow, fast, unique, exciting and interesting. The Donau folk dancing style encompasses the area from Germany through to Turkey – all along the Donau –

including dances from southern Germany, from Austria, the Czech and Slovak Republic, former Republic of Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, and Russia. The core group focus is on “Donau-Schwäbische Tänze” with the intention of keeping those dances alive as we have done to date.

please note:
