Schuhplattler — what you should know about the famous Bavarian dance

The Schuhplattler is a symbol of German culture far beyond Munich and Bavaria. Companies love to book it for events — often trade fairs — as a highlight for international guests.

Originally a couple’s dance, it’s performed in lederhosen and dirndls, complete with traditional hairstyles.

Can Bavarian dancers be booked for a business event?

Yes — easily in and around Munich, and worldwide with enough lead time.

How long do they perform?

About ten minutes, two or three dances. The professionals advise against making it longer — short and striking works best.

How much does it cost, and where can I book?

The agency Wiesenmüller Entertainment specialises in Bavarian and Schuhplattler dancers, with prices listed online. The site is in German, but your browser can translate it: schuhplattler.de.
