It has been many years since some of these Slovak Folklore Groups have been actively performing together.  We want to honour as many groups as possible; to do that, we need the help of any persons who were members of a Slovak Folklore Group or dance troupe, or know of any such groups.  Please contact one of the individuals (above) with any information you have  names, dates, contact persons, historical or biographical information.
