They can apply to participate as hosts and/or guests with summer exchanges between Germany, Austria, Romania, and the USA. No previous experience is necessary.
Ages 21+ | Tuesdays 8-9:00pm
Folk dance for everyone: Take some time out of your weekly schedule to learn 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 required; optional performance and travel/hosting opportunities.
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.
