Excited to be a part of Saskatoon Heritage Festival @HeritageFestYXE again. Watch our online presentations: our newest one talks about European Heritage Dress and the fun of folkdance!

The latest @SaskScapes podcast features our longtime dance group coordinator - have a listen and see how many 'hats' she wears and how artworks have been a life long companion.

An all new @SaskScapes #podcast has just launched. Episode 103 is a continuation of episode 102. The will be a street in #yxe honoring the family name of my guests! @kevinpowerlive @saskgerman @Saskatoon_GJFD https://t.co/vxfOEShJuH

Our costume designer is the focus in the latest podcast @SaskScapes . It's clear Waltraude has always loved creating and dressing characters - whether during her varied career as a puppeteer, or in retirement with her knowledge of European heritage dress!

It's hard to imagine having folk dance fun like this again anytime soon!?! This is from 10 years ago, early morning outdoor performing by the riverbank in Saskatoon.

Looking forward to this the virtual @HeritageFestYXE this weekend! All virtual, but fun just the same!

[GermanFolkDancers @Saskatoon_GJFD]

After a quiet Christmas, we're ready to get back to dancing in a different way: Introducing our mini dancers @WinterShinesSK this coming week. Virtual is safest, and still fun!
