| Taneční Mládež (Dancing Youth) | |
| This Czech and Slovak children's folk dance group was organized in January of 1990 with 12 members. | |
| The children range from 4 years old to 8th grade. | |
| Our highlighted annual performance is at the Festival of Nations in May. | |
| We dance at many other community events during the year, including Czech and Slovak Day in the fall, and SOKOL Sibrinky dance in the winter. | |
| Taneční Teens | |
| Our teen dancers keep the dances live in those years between childhood and adulthood. | |
| Our teens not only know all the children's dances, but they also perform some of the adult dances with our adult dance group, too! | |
| Kroj (Folkdress) | |
| We wear authentic costumes that are representative of many areas of the Czech or Slovak Republics. Kroje are provided for our dancers. | |
| Instruction | |
| Dance is taught by Louise Wessinger. | |
| Louise, formerly an elementary school teacher, currently teaches aerobics, is a long-time SOKOL member, and performs with the adult St. Paul Czech and Slovak Folkdancers. www.tancuj.org | |
