Cassandra and I at the festival!

Cassandra is a very talented 8 year old girl whom I met while playing a festival in the Poconos this summer. She wears traditional german clothing and dances in an amazing group called HSV Bavaria (Harugari Schuhplattler Verein Bavaria). The group has participated in parades, performed on boats and floats, amusement parks, casinos, clubs, churches, and convalescent homes throughout Connecticut and neighboring states.

This Schuhplattler group travels all around to perform and share the beautiful dances of Germany with the world. A Schuhplattler is a traditional folk dance popular in the alpine regions of Bavaria and Austria.

Cassandra has been traveling with this group since she was just a baby because both of her parents are members of the group as well. She loves dancing with the group and learning all of the steps to each dance. She is also the brave and courageous announcer for HSV Bavaria. 

Cassandra and I had a great time at the festival together. I was so excited that I got time to interview her and learn so much more about her! We had a blast!

We found this huge pig and just had to take a picture with it!

I am so happy that you will get a chance to meet Cassandra as well! She is so much fun! I love how excited she is about dancing with HSV Bavaria! Cassandra is so talented!
