Abstract
Boulder Community Media (BCM) has for the past three years been involved with the production of a documentary film on Dutch Hop, the polka tradition unique to descendants of the Germans from Russia who immigrated to northeastern
Colorado, southeastern Wyoming, and western Nebraska. It still is a living, breathing, (stomping) tradition in those areas. Organizations collaborating with BCM on this project are the Wyoming Arts Council, Nebraska Folklife Network, and Sageland Media. Folklorists working on the effort are Ann Hatch (producer and advisor), Chris Simon (director and principal filmmaker), Gwen Meister (advisor), and Georgia Wier (associate producer and advisor).
