5 The purpose of California Heritage Dancers is to promote a historical view of square DANCING . Square DANCING has its roots in American folk dance and is truly American in origin. The California Heritage Dancers demonstrate through exhibitions the unique place which square DANCING holds in our national culture. The Heritage Dancers were organized in 1986 by its' founder and director, Ruth Walker. Extensive research has resulted in a series of dances performed in authentic period costuming. The ever-ex- panding repertoire currently includes ten different dances dating from the colonial period up to modern times. 5.

Each year our community looks forward to seeing your colorful costumes and smiling faces, so welcome once again to Albany and thank you for brightening our season. Over the last 17 years, you've seen Albany's restoration efforts bring new life to our historic downtown and watched our carousel grow from a dream to reality. We know you'll be back again to take a ride on this world-class project. New on the carousel this past year are Marcy the Unicorn and Yun Hsiang the Chinese Dragon.)))))))))))))
