Thank you for this clear demonstration of a lovely dance. We just reviewed this evening in La Crosse, and I liked it so much I searched for a demo when I came home. I'll be reviewing this to keep the steps fresh for the future.

Thank you for demonstration & clear instructions. I feel folk dances & circle dances rasie it self to a different level when the lyrics are understood . Can anyone give a translation of this popular song & context?
Thanks in advance

Here is a translation of the lyrics.
Oh, I have, I have eyes
But nobody, mother, and to examine,
No one, my dear, to examine!
Oh, I have, I have little hands,
No one, mother, and no one to hug,
No one, my dear, to hug!
Oh, I have, I have my legs,
No one to dance with, mother,
But with no one, dear, to dance!
