Schuhplattling is all about tanzen und springen — in English, dancing and leaping! Our male dancers jump into the air and slap their legs to show their athleticism. Meanwhile, our female dancers spin until their skirts blossom out into beautiful bells. Watch this in action at the Alpen Schuhplattlers’ upcoming performances!
