MEET THE ENTERTAINERS for Twinsburg's Brats and Brews Bash | S.T.V. Bavaria Schuhplattler Dancers
The colorful dirndls twirl alongside the lederhosen-clad Schuhplattlers as S.T.V. Bavaria brings the lively traditions of Bavarian and Alpine folk dancing to audiences across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. For more than 70 years, the group has entertained audiences with spirited courtship, occupational, and show dances, performed to the toe-tapping sounds of Alpine music.
The roots of Schuhplattling in Cleveland date back to the early 1920s, and the group has continued to grow and evolve while preserving these traditions for generations. Today, S.T.V. Bavaria includes children's, teen, and adult dancers, along with singers and instrumentalists. Performing in authentic traditional tracht from various regions of the Tyrol, the group continues to share its heritage through appearances at festivals, cultural celebrations, Oktoberfests, and community events.
Experience traditional Bavarian folk dancing of S.T.V. Bavaria at Twinsburg's Brats and Brews Bash on Saturday, September 19 at 2pm and 4:30pm on the Pepperl+Fuchs Entertainment Stage at Glen Chamberlin Park (10260 Ravenna Rd).

Note from Elizabeth:
Normal practices will start up on Friday, July 31. Like normal, we will have kids practice at 7:30pm and adult practice starts at 8:30pm. However, we are going to try something different for the adults this year. We will only be having Glockenspiel practice every other week, so if you are interested in learning skits or participating in skits at German Central or Tulsa you need to try and be at these practices. The weeks that we do not have practice we will be incorporating learning more Volkstanze (dances that have minimal to no turning or plattlering in them) for the first 30ish minutes of practice. We are hoping that that more of our members who want to dance but can’t turn or plattler can become more involved! Below are the dates for what weeks will have Glock practice or Volkstanze. We will still be doing our normal practice of plattlers for our events but we are just incorporating another element to it.
