Year after year, our participation in international folklore festivals and dance competitions as well as numerous regional performances have enabled us to further develop the cultural cultivation and artistic interpretation of German dance folklore, making us one of the most distinguished amateur dance groups in Germany even after 65 years.

This year we have the honor to be the first ensemble from Germany ever to perform at the International Folklore Festival FolkFaro the CIOFF in Faro/Portugal from August 20 to 28, 2016 to be represented with our diverse repertoire. The preparations for our 12 stage dance choreographies to be performed there are already in full swing and our 28 participating dancers and musicians are looking forward to an enriching experience and a valuable cultural exchange! After the last guest performances in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, we will be able to create stage programs for an international audience over nine days in Faro in 2016 together with folklore dance ensembles from Brazil, France, Georgia, Kenya, the Philippines and Portugal.

Überdies werden uns Auftritte auch in die Umgebung von Faro führen, etwa in das spanische Villablanca zum Festival Internacional de Danzas.
