Celebrating 29 years of excellence, The Junior Tamburitzans of South Hills is a performing folk ensemble based in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  

We are currently accepting new members. There are no tryouts and no music or dance background is needed to join. Email us for more information or come to our Open House on September 23rd at Dormont Presbyterian Church on Espy Road in Dormont.

Our group is one of about 30 Junior Tamburitzan groups in North America that strive to preserve and promote the folk arts of Central and Eastern Europe through dance, music, and song.

Our member students range from ages 6 to 18.  Each student receives instruction and education in the art of tamburitza playing, folk dance, and song.  Students also learn about the countries and cultures of Central and Eastern Europe.  Through public performances, the group promotes public interest and awareness of the rich cultural diversity known throughout these European regions.

Folk dances and music are challenging and fun to learn.  With the direction of experienced instructors, students are able to enjoy and develop music and dance talents.  Each student is encouraged to perform to the best of their ability, and there is a place for everyone in the festival-like atmosphere of the group's performances.
