Welcome and Grüetzi to Our Website!
Q: What is "folk dance"?
A: A traditional dance originated in the 18th century among the common people of a certain country or a region. The steps of folk dances are passed through generations, rarely being changed.
The Swiss Folk Dance Club Alpenroesli was formed in 1981 by eight members of the Swiss Club Matterhorn in Calgary, Alberta. The purpose was to study and learn traditional folk dances of Switzerland and to share this ethnic art form in its authenticity with Swiss Canadians and the Alberta Community at large. By participating and performing we hope to keep this ethnic dance form alive and pass on a Swiss tradition to our second and third generation of Swiss Canadians, but...
Most of all...we dance for fun, friendship and camaraderie!
Our group of 13 members with 4 of the original dancers still participating, are practicing every Monday from 8pm until 9:30pm at the
Ramsay Community Hall in Inglewood
1136-8th Street SE, Calgary
Visitors and New Members are Welcome!
