Folk Groups at the Saxonia Hall are free to all active and social members. New members are always welcome. Check out our current offering of groups and registration details below. If you have an idea for a new folk group, contact one of our board members to get started!

Kids Folk Group

Ages 4+ | Tuesdays, every other week 6-7:00pm | Summer session starts June 10

Learn about German traditions through music, crafts, dance, games, and language activities. Each session runs for 12 weeks, with meet-ups every second Tuesday (6 total per session) and includes one performance opportunity at a Saxonia Hall family-friendly event. No experience is necessary, but older participants with previous dance experience may be interested in the Youth Folk Group. For more information and to register, email Rebecca and Julie.

Youth & Adult Folk Groups

Ages 13+ | Tuesdays 7:30-9:00pm

Take some time out of your weekly schedule to learn the basic steps of German and Transylvanian Saxon folk dance. You'll become comfortable with the movements and enjoy the music and social interaction from the moment you step on the dance floor. No experience is required.

Plus! Celebrate German traditions through dance, music, and food and attend events in Aylmer, Kitchener, London, and the USA. Costumes are provided. Folk Group members also take part in group activities like canoeing, camping, and outdoor movie nights. They can apply to participate as hosts and/or travellers with summer exchanges between Germany, Austria, Romania, and the USA.

Coffee & Cards Group

All Ages | Call the Saxonia Hall for dates/times

Hang out, catch up with or make new friends, play cards or other games (such as Bingo, Trivia), watch movies, and enjoy an afternoon coffee or tea. Participants can come as often as they like and do not need to plan to stay the full 3 hours each week.
