ALPENROSEN DANCE GROUP

The Alpenrosen Dancegroup has been performing since 1958 and still going strong. The group consists of a Junior Group with children from the ages of 6 - 12 years and a Senior group from the ages of 12 - 60. The traditional dance they perform is called the Schuplattler (Shoe-Slapping). This dancing comes from Upper Bavaria and Tyrol. They also perform the traditional Ringing of the Cowbells (Glocken) which consist of large and small sets of bells that are musically tuned. They play 250 songs ranging from German, Australian, Italian etc. The group does a variety of events from the small to major events around Brisbane. They also travel around Australia to events such as the National Volkstanzfest held every two years. Their practice nights are every second Wednesday for Dancing and Bells from 6.00 - 9:30pm, and every other Wednesday for bell practice from 6.oo - 7.30pm.
