German Folk Dance Groups

 

 

 

          After marching in the Steuben Parade in New York City, members of the German Society for Folk Dance visited its counterpart, the American Federation of German Folk Dance Groups, in 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

          The delegation was made up of dancers from the various member groups in Germany.  The event was hosted by the Indiana Heritage Society.  The German dancers toured Indianapolis and Nashville, where they gave a workshop and participated in a gala dance party and dinner.  Before returning to Germany all enjoyed a typical American Barbeque at the home of Pete and Ginnvor Bullard.  For many of the visitors it was a first hand look at life in the U.S.A. .
