History:
Die Erste Gottscheer Tanzgruppe was formed in 1981, bringing “young-at-heart” Gottscheers together to celebrate
common heritage and a passion for dance.In 1997, the group expanded to incorporate
the Kindergruppe, enabling the newest generation to carry on and celebrate the same traditions.
Die Erste Gottscheer
Tanzgruppe practices twice a month on Tuesdays at Gottscheer Central Holding in Ridgewood, Queens.
Today our members have grown beyond just those related to the Gottscheer community, incorporating members of a diverse background
with the same passion for authentic Austrian folk dance.The group performs several times throughout the
year, including local Gottscheer functions and numerous German events in the tri-state area.Highlights
of the club’s history include performing at the German Alps Festival at Hunter Mountain, Trump Taj Mahal's Oktoberfest
in Atlantic City, the German-American Festival at the PNCBankArtsCenter
in New Jersey, and International Night at Shea Stadium.
