Bavarian Clothes




Sender: Mia1961
People in traditional Bavarian clothes. 

Mia writes that the man on the right is doing a Bavarian dance move called "Schuhplatter"(Shoe platter), jumping up and down clapping his hands, then hand-to-knee, hand-to-shoe and back again. Together with this dance move, he "jodelt" (yodels), a sound between screaming and singing.

I read that there are about 150 different Schuhplattler dances, with regional differences!
