While in Munich, we had the opportunity to learn some traditional Bavarian dances. After dinner one evening, the group went to a little house off the beaten path and we learned the steps to three different dances. Our instructors were four members of a Bavarian dance club who do these dances in competition, similar to the tango, the cha cha, quick step, or the jitterbug, here in American ballrooms. They were the masters of their craft even down to their outfits. They wore the traditional costumes of native dancers which they also wear when they compete. The above picture is of two of our teachers.
