Volkstänze Taught at Gaufest Available Online

Aug. 4 Update:  Links to videos are now included under the Dance tab on the Gauverband website.           At the 2022 Gaufest, Donald LaCourse of SG Edelweiss St. Paul, taught a workshop consisting of three Volkstänze. The workshop was based on the dances choreographed by Ingeborg Heinrichsen. She developed more than 40 dances to old and new folk music pieces. In 2019, Der Verein für Volkslieder und Volksmusik honored her life work, publishing a book and CDs of her dances, "Bairisch Tanz'n, zwischen Tradition und Geselligkeit." From this extensive list, the three dances were taught. The links below take you to instructions and sheet music which can be downloaded. These dances are also available at Gauverband/Dance under Resources on this website; as of Aug. 4 there are links to videos of all the dances.
