Help Youth Compete in Bavarian Dance Competition

This past summer, Aidan Scanlan and Jamey Rife from Alt Washingtonia placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in the North American Bavarian dance (Schuhplattler) competition sponsored by our umbrella organization, Gauverband Nordamerika. Because of this terrific achievement, these two young gentlemen have the honor of competing in Bavaria in June 2024!

We are raising money to help pay the travel expenses for Aidan and his partner Libby Dewald, Jamey and his partner Alyssa Grontas, and their musician Michael Leggett. Any donation will help make an impact towards enabling our youth to participate in the renowned Bavarian Schuhplattler dance competition, the Bayerische Löwe, in the home of the Schuhplattler! Please help give our wonderful youth the experience of a lifetime! This will help them continue to stay interested in holding onto the traditions of music and dance from the Alpine regions of Bavaria.

Thank you in advance for your kind contributions. Alt Washingtonia serves as a "living museum" of the traditions of music and dance of the Bavarian Alpine region. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that exists to educate our audiences and celebrate this culture through our performances in the DC Metro area.
