	G.T.V. Almrausch - Schuhplattler
		When you watch a Schuhplattler being performed, the reason for its name becomes obvious - you will see men slapping their shoes.
		Not to be outdone by the men, the women supply the other highly recognizable part of a Schuhplattler dance - the spinning.
		While the men are busy doing their part, the women can be seen spinning, causing their Dirndl to rise up forming the familiar bell.

		"Schuhplattler" is a centuries-old Bavarian dance genre in which the men demonstrate their vigor in a raucous but precise "shoe-slapping" rhythm to folk music, alternating with flirtatious figures danced with the women.
		The Schuhplattler style of dance mimics the behavior of the male Auerhahn bird (wood grouse), who courts the female by flapping his wings and kicking up his feet around a circle.
		In the same manner, a Schuhplattler keeps his hands raised and, by slapping his feet and Lederhosen, imitates the flapping of the Auerhahn's wings.
