I have never seen this dance 'live': I am sure it would be fun!

Fesche Lederhosen!

Those musicians are doing a whale of a job, too. :-)

You have to have nice legs to wear such short lederhosen. :)

This is a nice series of "action" shots, Karl. Very colorful and looks like great fun. I think one would have to be strong in order to participate, though. And I like the shorts. Maybe I could buy a pair to wear on the golf course?

Thanks very much for your comment on L&L Photography!

Looks like a little acrobatics go into that dance routine.

I have never paid much attention to those "belts" and they are so unique. Thank you, Karl, for showing them. Great series.

They look like they are having a fun time! Interesting costumes too.

This dancing is a lot more physical than other forms of dance, with those lifts.

I think I would look great in lederhose. Not.

Clearly a summer tradition. Fun!
