We are Die Gemütlichen Schuhplattler. Our Verein was founded in 1971 and is a proud member of the North American Gauverband. We strive to preserve the cultural heritage of Bavaria, Austria, and Tirol. We were established in Anaheim, California, as part of the world-famous Phoenix Club. After decades in Anaheim—a city founded in 1857 by German immigrants as a farming community, who named the community by combining “Ana” for Santa Ana and the German word “Heim” meaning “Home”—the Phoenix Club and Die Gemütlichen Schuhplattler are now based in Brea, California.
We meet weekly on Tuesday nights at 7:30 PM to practice our dances and prepare for events throughout the year where our members perform and share our history and culture. If you would like to learn more, please visit us at a practice or contact us.
