There must be 300 on Youtube.

Ich bewundere Ihre neuen Namen. Sehr sexy. grrrr...

Quick, I need someone to find me a video of a dance off between stepping and schuhplattler!

But first I need beer! And then I need The International Friendship Song!!

*clinks beer*

Now go, go go and find me that video because it would be awesomely hilarious to see a bunch of lederhosen, balding, white dudes face off against some tough, in your face steppers. /40oz


ETA: Jump to here: www.youtube.com . . . So the middle dude, did he have to leave his special helmet on the short bus to the show?

^Oh man what is that kid doing? And did I just imagine it or could I hear people in the audience laughing?

Here is on that attempts to pack the whole spectrum into less than two minutes.

Do you actually dance? I am not sure if I have ever seen a thread talking about you actually dancing, and I am super curious what style you do.

Although there are many non-dancers here on DDN, I am curious what brought you to the website? Do you dance Schuhplattler? That would be really cool to see a video of you dancing!

Yes, I do dance. I am too old for ballet or jazz, but our folk group did 13 performance gigs last Oktoberfest season and 14 the previous season.

Our group does Austrian, German, and Swiss dances. Our founder is totally Austrian (he used to sing with the Vienna Boys' Choir)

And yes, I do schuhplattler, even though I prefer the Austrian dances that try to tie me in knots.

Recreationally I do just about any type of international folk dance. I still do this one at age 72.

I keep reading your new username as Shoe Platter
and that doesn't sound right

Lol anyway congrats on the name change The video is very nice

Love the Bohemian National Polka video. It starts off so slow and stately but ends really galloping!

Enjoy your "new identity" Milt.

Keep On Dancing*
