Schuhplattler – What you should know about the famous German dance from Bavaria

Schuhplattler have become a symbol of German culture far beyond Munich and Bavaria. Companies in Germany and abroad book Schuhplattler for their events (usually as part of a trade fair) to give their international guests an unforgettable experience. The Platteln is originally part of a couple's dance. Not only are the men's lederhosen worth seeing, but so are the women's dirndls and hairstyles!

Can Bavarian dancers be booked for a business event?

In Munich and the surrounding area, it is no problem to book Bavarian dancers. In principle, Bavarian dancers can be booked all over the world, but it is important to allow plenty of time in advance.

How long will the Schuhplattler dancers perform?

Most Schuhplattler dancers offer a performance of just under 10 minutes, during which they perform 2-3 dances. Event professionals advise against prolonging the performance so that it does not become repetitive and lose the audience's interest.

How much do Bavarian dancers cost and where can they be booked?

There is an agency called Wiesenmüller Entertainment that specialises in booking Bavarian dancers and Schuhplattler dancers. The agency's website also lists prices for different types of performances. The site is in German, but can be translated into English using your browser. The domain is schuhplattler.de.
