Kitchener-Waterloo Schuhplattlers and Folkdancers

Kitchener-Waterloo Schuhplattlers and Folkdancers The Kitchener-Waterloo Schuhplattler & Folkdancers are a Bavarian/Austrian folk dance group from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Schuhplattler & Folkdancers are a Bavarian / Austrian folkdance group from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Our organization consists of members with varying degrees of experience in the art of entertaining crowds, with traditional Bavarian / Austrian folkdances and schuhplattlers. Our membership represents 3 generations of dancers, striving to continue a long-standing tradition

of performing authentic Old World dances, which originated in southern Germany and Austria in the mid to late 1800’s. The Lederhosen and Dirndls, featured by our group, are traditional clothing (“Tracht”) to the Alpine regions of Europe. One of our more famous dances is the wood choppers dance or “Holzhackerbaum”. Many of our members have traveled and performed in Austria and Germany, U.S.A, and Canada. We perform for any occasion, whether it’s conventions, conferences, weddings, and of course, KW’s own K-W Oktoberfest and Christkindl Market. We are proudly associated with the Slovenian Association Sava - Oberkrainer Haus in Breslau, Ontario.
