The Miami Schuhplattler group was started in 1958 by Otto Stoll and his wife Fanny. Both were members of the G.A.S.C., in Miami. Otto was a Schuhplattler from Liengries, Bavaria.

Aiming at keeping the German culture and traditions alive, Otto and Fanny started schuhplatteln with Hans and Trudl Fleckenstein, practicing in each others homes. After Otto's retirement, Hans became the Vorplattler (lead dancer), and "The Original Auerhahn Schuhplattler" came into being.
