Folk groups
Learn about and celebrate German culture. Folk groups at the Saxonia Hall are free to all active and social members, and new members are always welcome.
Check out our current groups and registration details below. If you have an idea for a new folk group, contact one of our board members to get started.
Kids folk group
Ages 4+ · Tuesdays, every other week, 6:00 to 7:00pm · Ask us for the next session start date
Learn about German traditions through music, crafts, dance, games and language activities. Each session runs for 12 weeks, with meet-ups every second Tuesday (6 per session), and includes one performance opportunity at a family-friendly Saxonia Hall event. No experience is necessary, but older participants with previous dance experience may be interested in the youth folk group.
For more information and to register, email Rebecca and Julie at dancers@saxoniahall.com.
Youth and adult folk groups
Ages 13+ · Tuesdays, 7:30 to 9:00pm
Take some time out of your weekly schedule to learn the basic steps of German and Transylvanian Saxon folk dance. You'll become comfortable with the movements and enjoy the music and social interaction from the moment you step on the dance floor. No experience is required.
Plus, celebrate German traditions through dance, music and food, and attend events in Aylmer, Kitchener, London and the USA. Costumes are provided. Folk group members also take part in group activities like canoeing, camping and outdoor movie nights, and can apply to take part as hosts or travellers in summer exchanges with Germany, Austria, Romania and the USA.
To join, email dancers@saxoniahall.com or call 519-773-5271.
