The Kleine Pakete is the Regina German Club’s first junior folk dance group. It is open for both boys and girls ages 4 to 12 years. Germany consists of many different regions, and each has their own unique form of folk dancing. Our dance instructor tries to incorporate the many forms and makes it fun for the children.

The group meets once a week at 6pm to 7pm on Monday evenings from September to June to practice. They are under the direction of the dance instructor Ms. Tamara Scrimbit. The group has participated in several cultural events in Regina, such as The Regina German Clubs Christmas Weihnachtsfeier, Tanz Zabawa, Spring Free From Racism, Mosaic Kick Off, and Mosaic) If you are interested in booking or joining the Kleine Pakete please contact the Regina German Club at:

The SGC receives grants through Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation which allows us to provide services to the community and to support our many member groups. We always ask that you, whenever possible, promote the Saskatchewan German Council, SaskCulture and Saskatchewan Lotteries as the funders of your events. To make it easier this is why we have our new “recognizing our funder” banners. There are a total of 3 banners, one is permanently located in Saskatoon, another in Regina and the last one will be available to any member groups outside of those cities.

If you would like the logo usage guideline from SGC sent to you, please contact the office.
