Welcome at the website of Opanka

  October 13, 2009 (for Dutch: click on the flag) Welcome to all our dance-friends!

Since 1978, Venray (a town in the Netherlands) has been the home of the folk dance group, Opanka. Opanka’s objective is to promote folk dancing in general. The group does not focus on one country in particular, but learns and performs dances from all over the world. Out of the group of dancers who dance for their own pleasure, a group was formed to perform dances from a specific country or region for public entertainment.  

The performance of dances from a specific country or region lasts approximately 15 minutes. The group dances in costumes, which are partly original and partly copies of original costumes, made by the members themselves. 

The Opanka group offers performances of dances from the following countries:
