The Hakuna Matatas Handicapable Square Dance Club of Altoona earned a few fun badges for St. Valentine's and St. Patrick's Parties. "The Pink Cadillac" badge earned for dressing in pink for February and for the Go Green Dance in March, they earned the "In A Pickle" badge for square dancing while eating one or more pickles. Caller is Cory Geishauser. The Hakunas are celebrating their 18th anniversary this spring. The group met regularly every Thursday for 15 years until the pandemic and now dances once a month. The Hakuna Matatas are known worldwide and have been an inspiration to new handicapable square dance clubs all over the globe. Besides many new clubs starting up here in the states, countries like Germany, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Canada and Russia have all begun "handi" dancing. Shown are the Hakunas along with their Angel (assistant) dancers at their St. Patrick's Day dance.
