Bavarian dancers - Schuhplattler from Munich for hire
You can hire or book Bavarian dancers and Schuhplattler for your event in Munich and in Germany. The Schuhplattler is a dance from the eastern Alpine region in which the boys wooed the girls. This popular Bavarian form of expression is characterised in particular by the slapping of thighs and shoes to the country melody. There are regional differences in this traditional dance from Lower Bavaria to East Tyrol, as well as various dances such as Schlogplattler, Marschplattler, Holzhacker or Bankerltanz. Today, Schuhplattler is a show dance that is enthusiastically filmed by international guests as a show act at events such as trade fairs.

Bavarian dance is the epitome of Bavarian tradition - your guests and customers will love this show act.

Schuhplattler - duration as part of a programme
How much time should you plan for Schuhplattler as a programme part and what costs will you incur? The dance is usually part of a whole evening, which is musically organised by us musicians:
- Guests are welcomed in the entrance area with Bavarian music
- Guests are welcomed by the host from the stage
- Bavarian band plays traditional music during the meal
- After the main course, the Schuhplattler perform for the first time (2-3 minutes)
- Bergvagabunden continue to play during dessert
- After dessert, a second performance by the Schuhplattler with the host and some guests (3-4 minutes)
- My band usually switches after dessert from traditional music to party music - deejaying included.
How much does it cost?
How much do Schuhplattler cost? It is difficult to estimate the cost or price without knowing the date and location. Most Plattlers live in Bavaria and work - for a performance on a weekday outside their home town, they have to take two days holiday and travel accordingly. Booking dancers in Munich is easy: simply send me a non-binding enquiry for your event by email.
Learn to platteln - crash course
It won't be enough for a complex choreography, but some basic exercises can certainly be learnt in a crash course. Whether as part of a performance as a short joke with a few volunteers, or with a little more time and serious professional instruction: a Schuhplattler crash course in Munich promises to be a lot of fun.
