The St. Paul Czech and Slovak Folk Dancers are an ethnic dance group promoting the Czech, Moravian, and Slovak heritage and culture... Our group was formed in 1962 to display Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) and Slovak culture through dance. Our costumes, or kroje, represent the dress of a number of different villages throughout both the Czech and Slovak Republics... You might also notice some of the Moravian men wearing a handkerchief sticking out of their pocket. We have been told that it was a tradition that a young man would present that handkerchief to the girl of his choice after a dance. She would take it home and put it under her pillow. If she dreamt of the young man that night, he was the one she was destined to marry.
