LANCASTER, NY

Schuhplattler Gebirgstrachten Verein Edelweiss Incorporated is a non-profit organization established in Lancaster, New York. The group is dedicated to preserving and promoting Bavarian culture and traditions, specifically through the performance of the schuhplattler dance. The schuhplattler is a folk dance that originated in the Alpine regions of Germany and Austria and involves intricate footwork, slapping of thighs and shoes, and acrobatic movements.

The organization was founded in 1954 by a group of German immigrants who wanted to keep their cultural heritage alive in their new home of Western New York. Since then, the group has performed at numerous festivals, events, and competitions throughout the United States and Canada. They have also participated in cultural exchanges with other schuhplattler groups in Germany and Austria.

In addition to dance performances, the group also offers German language classes and hosts cultural events such as Oktoberfest celebrations. Membership is open to anyone who shares an interest in Bavarian culture and the schuhplattler dance, regardless of ethnic background. The organization is run by a board of directors and relies on the support of volunteers and donations to continue its mission of preserving and promoting Bavarian culture.
