The Laendler (The Landler)

We did The Laendler from 'The Sound of Music' as our Wedding Party Dance at our 7/7/07 wedding! At a 1940s wedding theme, it was a HUGE HIT!

Can you tell me where you learned the steps for this dance? I think your wedding was so beautiful!

[CabbagePatchKidAmI]

Hello Caressek! The steps are a combination of things. We had to watch the Waltz scene in The Sound of Music over and over to figure out the steps. My husband also attended a university many years prior that does this waltz at dances so it was a combination. We made a video for our wedding party to then learn it on their own. My husband and I are considering posting that video on here for others to learn the dance. Thank you so much for your comment!

where did you get the music

[CabbagePatchKidAmI]

You can find the music on an extended version of the Sound of Music Soundtrack. It shouldn't be too hard to find. We got ours at Barnes and Noble. Good luck!

I love this dance i want to do it at my wedding

[CabbagePatchKidAmI]

Anyone can do it, Fox! We sent out a DVD instructional that we made about a month before the wedding. We all then practiced before the rehersal dinner. Those couples having trouble stayed after the dinner and went out into the hotel parking lot and danced to the car stereo. It was hilarious--great memories and a great way for the wedding party to get to know each other. We had a blast and it was sooo worth it in the end. People are still talking about out wedding. LOL Good luck to you and yours!

VERY VERY NICE. Hope the 2 of you are doing well. Wish I would have thought of this for my wedding considering I sang songs from the Sound of music to my wife the night we met. And this was in a biker bar lol. Had to show her I had a sensative side too. Thanks for sharing.

I will dance The Laendler at my wedding as well; it is beautiful. I love the arranngement in this one !!

[JLeeGraham]

Charming! What a lovely idea, and nicely performed. This is only one version of the Ländler - it seems there is a different one for almost every region of Austria - but this is my favourite. This makes me happy!
