of Austria

Herbert and Carol Traxler
are the founding leaders of the Alpine
Dancers and the Alpine
Singers, specializing in dances and
songs from Austria. In 1991 they formed the Alpine
Dancers who perform Austrian, German and Swiss
folk dances throughout the greater Washington,
D.C. area and all along the East Coast. They
continually expand their dance repertoire while
attending numerous dance festivals and workshops
in Austria and the United States. In recognition
of their ongoing promotion of Austrian culture and
teaching Austrian dances, the couple each received
the prestigious Goldenes Verdienstzeichen
(Decoration of Merit in Gold) from the Republic of
Austria in 1998.
An article (in German) about their work, Die
"Alpine Dancers & Singers" –
Volkstanz (und Wiener Walzer) in und um die US
Bundeshauptstadt, appeared in Der
Froehliche Kreis, Wien, Maerz 2008, pp. 4-5.
