             The 15th Federal German Folk Dance Festival in Braunschweig, Germany was held in July 2000.   The Festival coincided with the 2000 World's Fair in Hanover, which gave us the opportunity to explore the Fair also.  There were 32 people in our group and we presented American dances, again, as requested.  Unfortunately, the weather was not very supportive of our presentation.

 

          Following the Festival many of our group embarked on a trip to Mecklenburg.  This was in response to an invitation by the Redersborgs and their dance group.

 

 

 

The evening program consisted of communal dancing.

The following dances were learned by all participants.
