The Schwaben Dancers 

The Schwaben Dancers are an energetic, German folk dance group who love to entertain. They perform numerous times throughout the year, in many different locations and events. In the past they have performed in Germany, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Windsor and Toronto. They are very much in demand during Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest. The women in the dance group have two costumes: a light blue dirndl trimmed with silver braid and delicate white lace; and a Tracht for more formal occasions. The men wear a traditional Tracht consisting of a black vest with silver buttons, a white dress shirt, and black dress pants.

The Schwaben Dancers currently have a repertoire of about 20 dances, with new ones constantly being learned. They are famous for their arial manoevers, which are featured in several of their eances, and for the fast pace and quick beat to which most of their dances are set. Dances in their current repertoire include Flinke Schwabe, Oma, Wilde-Hummel, Lieschen, Ländler, Kreutzkönig, Anton aus Tirol, Stick Dance, and a number of Circle Dances. The Schwaben Dancers are currently run by Andrea Adam, President; Vanessa Adam, Vice-President; Breandy Chapman, Secretary; Nick Lang, Treasurer; and Jennifer Harvey, Costume Director.
