Wow. We Just realised that we have not posted anything on the blog for a long time.
We manage most things through Facebook these days, so have been quiet here.
There is limited time for the small volunteer team to keep up with everything.
We have a friendly group of dancers consisting of a people of various ages and skill levels. We are however looking for new members, so please get in touch if you might be interested.
It is a very cheap way to learn some dancing and have some fun, it is free to try for several sessions so come along. We still practice most Sundays at 4 pm.

Practice Hiatus
 |
| https://www.facebook.com/ADLfringe |
So Why not take the time to check out some of the free events, as well as some of the paid shows.
Something that is always impressive is the Fringe Illuminations it is free and a nice way to spend a warm summer evening, maybe strolling with an ice-cream enjoying some visual delights.
The Digital Playground is another free event, play with some VR and other Hi Tech Gizmo's.
It opens this weekend with lots of free entertainment on Friday and Saturday night, with the Fringe Parade on Saturday.
So Enjoy Mad March and we will see you on the other side. Keep an eye on posts to see when we are starting up again, or drop us a line.
On a side note we do have some performances that are not associated with the fringe through this time, and if required practices will be arranged with the venue to be decided.

General Update - Check facebook for more updates
We are a group of volunteers who all have busy lives in their own right.
So please don't take silence on our site as lack of life in the group. Quite the contrary. The group has done three performances this weekend, and many over the last few months. We have a couple coming up also.
However, it is a challenge to keep up with all the commitments of the social media and blogs and full time work and families so we will only sporadically update this blog.
I encourage you to check our Facebook page for more regular comings and goings.
We also occasionally upload video on the YouTube Channel also, but it is a slow process (as Australian internet speeds are pretty poor for uploading), so they are not always up to date.
But If you have any questions please contact us through our contact page.
We are looking for new members, of any skill level so if you have ever wanted a great way to learn to dance for next to nothing drop us a line.

Quiet Blog - But Busy Group
Wow it has been a while since our last post.
However we have been busy practicing and performing (along with trying to keep up with our non German Dancing lives), and posting has slipped our mind.
Keep an eye on us here or on Facebook and we will try to keep some updates happening.

No Dancing Practice on Sunday 2nd or 8th March
Hello everyone,
The month of March brings a long list of artists, shows and much flair to Adelaide with the Fringe still in full swing. This coming weekend also brings the hot Clipsal 500 racing and concerts to the city on Sunday 2nd March.
With all of this going on, it's going to make parking on Sunday 2nd March even more difficult than it already is.
Then the following weekend (Sunday 8th March) is the Adelaide Cup long weekend.
Therefore there's no dance practices for these weekends.
We resume on Sunday 16th March (3:15pm for kids, 4pm for adults).
Thanks everyone!

Successful 50th Anniversary of the DVK and KTK
On Saturday 9th July we had a wonderful Anniversary celebrating the past 50 years of German Folk dancing, at The German Club.
Over 300 people attended the night including many dignitaries. The floor shows by the Kindertanzkreis, Bund der Bayern children's group and of course the Deutscher Volkstanzkreis
were a highlight - so too was the music entertainment by Herbert Stauber.
Thankyou to Herbert for composing a wonderful 50th Anniversary song for us - we all loved singing it!
Many people have posted photos from the night onto our facebook page.
Click here to see them and relive the memories.
Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate this milestone!
Best regards,
members of the DVK and KTK

Come and join us to celebrate our birthday! This year marks a special one for our dance group. Deutscher Volkstanzkreis turns 50 years, and we want as many people to join in the celebration! We are holding a free family evening and encourage our friends from other ethnic cultural groups, past members and extended friends to come along to a wonderful evening where you can catch up on old times over a German beer, laugh at our photos over a yummy Kranksy, see the beautiful traditional costumes and most importantly ... have fun!

COST: Free entry
FOOD AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE: Kransky roll; sauerkraut, birthday cake, Marizipan and berliner buns (delicious!)
MUSIC BY: Herbert Stauber
FLOOR SHOW BY: Deutscher Volktanzkreis, Kindertanzkreis and Bund der Bayern
ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE KIDS: dedicated kids play area including colouring-in tables, hopping balls, and indoor soccer. We just ask that parents please supervise their children at all times.
DOOR PRIZE: we are very sorry to announce that there no longer will be a door prize as this is a FREE ENTRY community public event.
MONSTER RAFFLE: some of the great prizes already donated to our monster raffle are - tickets to the Australian String Orchestra, Emma Page Jewellery, Oil painting by local artist. We'll be updating this section over the next coming weeks and hopefully posting a few pictures on our facebook page to give you a glimpse of what's on offer. Raffle tickets just $2.00
RESERVED TABLE BOOKINGS
To reserve a table (no cost) please email us at dvkdancing@gmail.com or call Marika on 8373 5864 or place your name down at the German Club front bar (they have a table waiting list). We will do our best to cater for everyone, but there's only a limited number of tables. No tickets will be handed out as this is a free public event. On the night, just mention your booking at the welcome table.
FAQ's
How can I easily tell my friends about this event?
You can share this blog page via email, google+ or facebook (click on the share button at the top righthand). You can share the event created in facebook (head to our site at Deutscher Volktanzkreis.
Is this a formal event?
There will be some formal speeches, including a speech by the Hon. Jennifer Rankie MP (Minister for Multicultural Affairs). In between the floor shows there's plenty of time for mingling or checking out the photo board and kids entertainment area, plus there's some social dancing where we try to get everyone capcable onto the floor. Do some of you remember the dance Sonderburger Doppelquadrille?
Do you cater for those with a wheelchair, pram, walking frame or stick?
Yes of course! There is lift access to the second floor and it's only a few steps to the Main Hall. There will be limited seating, so we've asked people capable of standing to offer seating for those most in need of them.
Why no door prize or tickets now?
We have recieved a small grant from Multicultural SA for this event. As part of the grant requirements, this must be a free public event, therefore no entry tickets. That means no door prize as well.
