Gary and The Ridgeland Dutchmen Band at Concordia Ballroom

$10 at the door. Public is welcome. Polka, country 2 step, waltz, swing, fox trot and other dances are popular.
Sunday dance at LaCrosse Concordia Ballroom with live band. Voted best dance floor. Non-dancers can enjoy the music, dancers and the lovely atmosphere of this wonderful historic building. Many single people attend the dances therefore partners are not required.

Kick up your heels to the great sounds of polka music, including Dutch, German, Czech, Polish, and Slovenian style along with a variety of country, big band, swing, and 50’s and 60’s music. Gary Brueggen is polka royalty, descended from three generations of polka musicians hailing from Cashton, WI. Known as “Wisconsin’s Concertina Kid”, Gary has been honored by the World Concertina Congress Hall of Fame and the International Polka Music Hall of Fame. The Ridgeland Dutchmen band has toured the U.S. and elsewhere, snagging recognition as “Band of the Year” by the Wisconsin Polka Music Hall of Fame in 2003 and 2008.
