[maire83]

How come every German traditional song or dance has to do with Bavaria? It seems that's all you can find.

[Aptrgangr]

Bavarians are Germans. Germany has not one uniform culture, all regions differ in customs and languages.

[tobeymorris]

Krass. Ich kann noch nichtmal eure Schriftsprache verstehen ^^

In Bayern gibt's den "Tanz" wahrscheinlich in groß, oder?

[Vernuenftiger]

Den Holzhacker gibt's erst seit den 1950ern. Wurde für Touristen erfunden, (genau wie der Watschenplattler). ziemlich cool zum oschaun, aber ned traditionell.

[SkyHimmel]

Ja, ma siehts ihne von außen an, daß sie nit Boarisch sinn. Die sinn nit schtramm.

[TravelingTidbits]

The dancing is wonderful! You guys are great!! It got some people thinking it was filmed in Bavaria not NY! Your group did a wonderful job showcasing how much fun the German culture is with the dancing and the music. I hope to see you again performing at another German festival!!! :)

[QuickNick007]

please don't talk about german culture, thats bavarian culture!! Thats a big difference for us living in bavaria!! ;) We're proud of it... xD

[TravelingTidbits]

Ha! So, it is true then than Bavarians don't think themselves as being German?? ;) Can't wait to visit Bavaria one day....heard it's an amazing place :)

[QuickNick007]

We think ourselves being German, but Germans from the south are a really diffrent culture to the rest, especially the north. They hardly can understand our dialect! ;) It's great, so diffrent to the states, but you need to like nature and traditions and culture, otherwise it could be boring for you.

[TravelingTidbits]

If you go to my main show, ARoadRetraveled, I interviewed one of the dancers who explained what you said about Bavaria and Germany in Episode #31. I don't think I'll ever be bored in Bavaria :)

[QuickNick007]

I've looked your videos, Oktoberfest in NY! Funny stuff!! ;) Same with me, I'll never get bored of it, I'm travelling at the momnt through australia and miss my bavaria!! :)

[windstorm1000]

@QuickNick007 yes, i Know, Americans whirl the two together often out of ignorance--if not intentionally...I'm sure that can be a bit irritating to Baverians and/or other regions of Germany (which was not a nation until 1870) for different reasons.

[SureHowDoYouKnow]

Love the dance! It is so neat to see the traditions of all cultures.

Thank you for sharing..
