Instead, spend your Oktoberfest prep time (only a week to go!) learning these dances, which are sure to come in handy in each and every tent. » Read the full post

Schuhplattler at 200th anniversary Oktoberfest from zurika on Vimeo.
In honor of the 200th anniversary of Oktoberfest, a historical area has been set up next to the regular old tents and rides. It costs €4 to get into the historical area, but that €4 includes all kinds of entertainment, such as fancy historical whip-cracking and fancy historical dancing. And a nifty souvenir pin.
Judging from the looks of this dance, I’m guessing that Bavarian women living 200 years ago did not have any inner ear fluid.
Is there anyone who watched this video without thinking of Chevy Chase?
