You mean Bavaria specifically. Bavaria is the German state that has all the unique and interesting culture. The rest of the country is lifeless. TBH Bavaria needs to break off and become its own state again. They have everything they need. The rest of the country is just weighing them down.
There are beer, sausage, bread, German and European dishes in Japan. This is because a German who was in Japan taught me. Germans also taught football, rugby and tennis. The Germans spread the Ludwig van Beethoven song to Japan.
yodeling in rural parts of Austria (and probably Bavaria, maybe Switzerland also) could have many meanings. In older times it was a way of communication for people living uphill with people living in the valley. It could be a way of communicating between boys and girls (my grandma told about this - groups of guys would do this cry and then girls would answer from a distance). at festivities it's used to bring up some mood (like most folk cries). It can be sad in folk songs about loss, too
I really enjoyed watching this. It's lovely to see people appreciating and performing traditional regional dance forms. I especially love the deceptively simple spinning on the part of the ladies - it takes a lot of work to keep from getting dizzy when doing a move like that for a short period of time, let alone for long, repeated stretches! And the smooth transition back into partner work was absolutely gorgeous. Plus, I just really like the look of their skirts when they're bell-shaped. :) Great job.
Thanks. There are Groups all over Germany with regional Dances. More in the south though. Some are professional Tourist Performers, some for fun. Typical for my place was a wooden shoe Dance as you know from NL. You might find a Kind of Performance in the opera "Zar und Zimmermann".
Prachtvoll und wunderbar.Polkatanzen sind so begesterend und energievoll womit ich mich immer vermute und erfrische lezten mehr als 60 Jahre.lang Gruss aus Belgrad
Il doit s'agir de l'Allemagne du Sud bavaroise, car cette musique est également très jouée en Autriche, il s'agit des "Trois bûcherons", la première phrase étant celle-ci : "Wir sind drei lustige Holzhackerbuam".... (nous sommes trois joyeux bûcherons) - Ici, seuls les costumes sont un peu différents... Je connais ce folklore par coeur, car il y a déjà plus de 50 ans que je passe toutes mes vacances en Autriche, dans la pointe sud du Salzburgerland !!!... Danielle.
This is a Bavarian dance. Still German, but the Germans have many different cultures, Traditions, Traditional clothes, languages, music etc... Germans are very different from Region to Region. And there are many different German people/tribes.
Oktoberfest might be a show for tourists as well as for natives, but we have "Trachtenvereine" this is not a show, that is life, it is called tradition!
Wow! Amazing! I could NEVER have done that without spotting but they were turning and moving at the same time. Hard to spot when you're in a revolving move counterclockwise!
For all the experts out there. Bavaria is part of Germany like Texas is part of the US. Schuhplattler is traditional Austrian and Bavarian folk dancing. It is done to celebrate the different seasons and harvests of the year. Some of the dances are courtship dances. There are over 50 dances that I know of if not more. I should know I danced most of them when I was between the age of 12 and 35.
even if you think this is stupid and silly - please remember that this kind of dancing takes a great amount of skill and practice! This kind of dancing is not easy!
Maybe, but not because of this. This is Bavarian folk dancing. I've learned it in the early 70's from my father who was a member of a Bavarian folk dancing club in Milwaukee, WI. There He learned it from my Opa, who was president of the club at the time, who learned from his father who was from Bavaria, So really its just some people trying to hold on to some traditions. Like any other type of "old world" dancers.
thank you soo much for posting,you see so many amatuers dancing.It's so good to see a competition...great tight dancing...sure it's a litttle on the slowish side...bit when your'e competiting,It's all judged...every step,spin and slap...thanks
@AiEnma26 I do German folk dancing sorta like this, we don't get dizzy cause we either A: look at out partner the entire time, or B: we do something called "spotting" where we find something in the room, and look at only that, while we spin we turn our heads to continue looking at it. That and you get used to it after a while.. lol
I believe the name of the song was announced at the beggining of the clip as the Haushammer. It comes from the village of Hausham, near Miesbach (south of Munich)
Lighten-up, comment writiers. This is clearly serious competition, aiming to make sure dancers know exactly how it can be done perfectly. Come back in the evening, and see them doing it just for fun, with plenty of smiles and laughter. The "yelling" is simply the equivalent of "Yee-haa!" which makes just as much sense.
I live in the USA, am a descendent of Germans, and have sadly never seen dancing like this. this is beautiful and inspiring, and I much prefer this to the African-descended break-dancing that dominates USA culture and media. this is much different and looks like something I could actually learn to do. thank you for sharing :)
Hello 1313davik, As someone who does this type of dancing, the only answer I can give you, "practice, practice, practice" BTW, this group is pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!
These shrieks used to be a common method of communication in the mostly mountainous areas where this dance is coming from originally. You can hear it very well when theres the echo from the mountains. For some reason it became part of the traditional dancing, pretty much like the yee ha that used to be a battle cry and now reappears in American country music I guess :)
you are brilliant the sound you are talking about is from the accordion which is from germany passed around europe including spain so when the spanish conquered eurpean culture was quite known in mexico so the accordion came along and influinced mexican culture.
I am half German and when I use to go to the Rhein Donau Club in Perth West Australia the dance group did a demostration for all the non Germans and I tell you it is hard when you first learn this dance. My late Dad use to tell me when I was a little girl that when he was younger in Germany they called it the Slap Dance... thought it was a funny name then.... :)
I'm full german and I live there in bavarian.I can tell you there aren't so much little Oktoberfests.And nobody is dressed like that.But it looks nice really! I
@thedisbatcher yup. lol it's called a yolks (I think that's how you spell it?) my dance teacher explains it like this: You know how when people do karate, they scream "hiya!"? It's bcause it gives them some more energy. That's why we yolks, it gives some energy (that you so badly need while performing)
Does anyone know the title to this song? I went to my first Trachtenball last night and the had the Alpen Schuhplattler from Pittsburg and they danced this one and I would love to know which one this is.
HELLS YEAH and its called a grito and they usually say this in a very emotional part of the song or in the beginning to get the crowd dancing "A-HA HA HA HA AYE!"
I grew up being German and Irish. this made me so happy as this is what I used to go to. I love it as this is the best one yet! where was this taken? Great group!!!!!
Why is this so familiar to Mexican Polka? don't tell our Polkas roots are here? specially the music. Its great. And people complaining about the screaming, please just enjoy your culture, we do this to in Mexico, but the only ones that find the screaming weird are the yanks.
Super,woher koente ich die Tanzbeschreibung erhalten? Ich habe eine Volksgruppe in Brasov - Rumaenien die heisst KORONA und wir moechten auch diesen Tanz einstudieren.
Lemme guess this is America, maybe Wisconsin or Iilinois people , thinking again we Germans are like this everywhere in Germany. As a German, I have never seen This in live in the country, only on TV . I drank beer out of plastic bottles, twist off cap,(not those backwards Beersteins from backwards Bavaria) from the local supermarket chain, across from the high rise, I lived in.
@mabelmann11 It's the Schuhplattler (Shoe Slapping). I lived in Germany in Bavaria for almost a year and saw it many times. Even tried it and made a fool of myself. It's usually done by men only.
Dammit! I love the Deutchelanders! Good people, great food, wonderful beer and PROUD of their heritage. But...like ouihotpot says.Who is the f****n yeller?
I'm german & came to canada when I was 7. You know, every country has good & bad and to point a finger at anyone for whatever has been done in the PAST is pretty niave/stupid. I'm proud to be german!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys - this is just one type of folklore dance in germany (north-bavaria) - there are several others that don´t look like this crazy bavarian spinnin-angry shoe slappin crap XD
man oh man, the yelling part in the beginning made my day :-) polka fan :-)

This kind of costumes and dancing is tipical for the South of Germany - and the neighboring parts of Austria and Switzerland.

Wunderbar! ich bin Englander! was gibt zwichen Nord und Sud Deutschland?......scheint mir einfach Volk musik!
Skandinavians are German. German = Bavarian + Thuring + Saxon + Rhinelander + Hessian + Alleman + Frankonian + Netherlander + Frisian + Skandinavian + English.
Very entertaining. Loved the music too.
Danke!
Absolutely Spotless. Nothing more to say. You are fantastic.
The screams in the begining and end makes me laugh my ass of.
🤣 same

This is the Schuhplattler. And it is very difficult to turn that long without getting dizzy; it takes practice!
thank you soo much for posting,you see so many amatuers dancing.It's so good to see a competition...great tight dancing...sure it's a litttle on the slowish side...bit when your'e competiting,It's all judged...every step,spin and slap...thanks
its SOUTHwest German dance!

wow in mexico they even have that yell called el grito lol...craaaaazy
@HeyItsFritz That's right, this kind of folklore dance is exclusively performed in Bavaria!
My oldest sister and cousins do this type of dancing, because of our German background!
I remember one with a pole in the center, different colored ribbons that would form a braid on the pole when the dance was finished.
I believe the name of the song was announced at the beggining of the clip as the Haushammer. It comes from the village of Hausham, near Miesbach (south of Munich)

Wunderbar! Ich liebe Deutche Folks tanzen! Although all that spinning would make me hurl if I had to do it.
Lovely, reminds me to the time when I lived in München!
I live in the USA, am a descendent of Germans, and have sadly never seen dancing like this. this is beautiful and inspiring, and I much prefer this to the African-descended break-dancing that dominates USA culture and media. this is much different and looks like something I could actually learn to do. thank you for sharing :)
Hello 1313davik,
As someone who does this type of dancing, the only answer I can give you, "practice, practice, practice"
BTW, this group is pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!
Back home in Berlin my family would do these dances during the family get together :)
It's on my bucket list to learn as much traditional European dance as I can. I love all dance forms to death though.
These shrieks used to be a common method of communication in the mostly mountainous areas where this dance is coming from originally. You can hear it very well when theres the echo from the mountains. For some reason it became part of the traditional dancing, pretty much like the yee ha that used to be a battle cry and now reappears in American country music I guess :)
love this video, going to Local Oktoberfest this weekend- dressing up myself. "wunderbar"
All that spinning...if I had to do that, I'd have one MASSIVE headache.
If I spun around that much I’d lose my balance, ok guys just pick me up off the floor lol. Love the screaming, puts me in polka mood
This is really similar to what I'm doing at school right now! Awesome! :D
LOL I would never be able to do this good job to all the dancers
(walks in late and whispers) i s this the slap dancing?
you are brilliant the sound you are talking about is from the accordion which is from germany passed around europe including spain so when the spanish conquered eurpean culture was quite known in mexico so the accordion came along and influinced mexican culture.
i was actually looking for Cartman's "fun german gay dance", but this is good too
Toledo Holzhacker Buam performing the haushammer
Indeed! Good call! From maybe 5 years back or so.
I am half German and when I use to go to the Rhein Donau Club in Perth West Australia the dance group did a demostration for all the non Germans and I tell you it is hard when you first learn this dance. My late Dad use to tell me when I was a little girl that when he was younger in Germany they called it the Slap Dance... thought it was a funny name then.... :)
It's a honor to behold tradition of my people. Bavarian
Cartman’s going to do the German Donce!

maravilhoso, como eu gostaria de ver aqui em Aparecida algo assim. Condições o município tem em parceria com o clero mas,,,,, deixe isso prá lá.
@crusinchub
Most likely central Texas. There's a large German community there that's very into German folk culture.
Классно танцуют.Den guten Rhythmus
this is PURE AWSEOME !!!
@thedisbatcher yup. lol it's called a yolks (I think that's how you spell it?) my dance teacher explains it like this: You know how when people do karate, they scream "hiya!"? It's bcause it gives them some more energy. That's why we yolks, it gives some energy (that you so badly need while performing)
Karl S. - Das ist eine schöner Brauch..

Why is this so familiar to Mexican Polka? don't tell our Polkas roots are here? specially the music. Its great. And people complaining about the screaming, please just enjoy your culture, we do this to in Mexico, but the only ones that find the screaming weird are the yanks.
I would get very dizzy
My german teacher taught us this dance
This really chuckled me up. No offense intended. I enjoyed watching
здравствуйте, кружащимся девушкам, обязательно нужна крепкая опора. спасибо.
Hi there. Can you please tell me the Name of the Song the original song which is being used!
wow if i was spinning like that i would faint on the stage and then they will have to call 112
This looks authentic. But we drink a lot more beer through the whole thing.
Super,woher koente ich die Tanzbeschreibung erhalten?
Ich habe eine Volksgruppe in Brasov - Rumaenien die heisst KORONA und wir moechten auch diesen Tanz einstudieren.
Lemme guess this is America, maybe Wisconsin or Iilinois people , thinking again we Germans are like this everywhere in Germany. As a German, I have never seen This in live in the country, only on TV . I drank beer out of plastic bottles, twist off cap,(not those backwards Beersteins from backwards Bavaria) from the local supermarket chain, across from the high rise, I lived in.
Reminds me of an all-body "Riverdance." Do I like this because my parents are Irish and Bavarian?
It's so weird... It's beautiful....
возьмите меня к себе гитаристом
@mabelmann11 It's the Schuhplattler (Shoe Slapping). I lived in Germany in Bavaria for almost a year and saw it many times. Even tried it and made a fool of myself. It's usually done by men only.
Dammit! I love the Deutchelanders! Good people, great food, wonderful beer and PROUD of their heritage. But...like ouihotpot says.Who is the f****n yeller?
nice greetz from holland
You make a very good point! :D
Here are some wonderful German bands to look up on TH-cam: Pöbel & Gesocks or Eisenpimmel.
If I spun like those ladies I would trip over myself and crash onto those table sand knocking down everything.
What's the song here?
we need it for the dance tnx :D
German Dancing is very Regional, not all are Miltaristic. But you will fing lots of stamping and Clapping in most.
I'm german & came to canada when I was 7. You know, every country has good & bad and to point a finger at anyone for whatever has been done in the PAST is pretty niave/stupid. I'm proud to be german!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing, that's is our culture... XD
