Remarkable Tyrolese Dance Observed by a Tyrolean Student
A Tyrolese student describes a striking dance where male dancers beat time on the ceiling with their feet while a muscular Tyrolese girl hoists her partner by his braces at the end. The man then rises, balances on the girl’s shoulders, and treads the ceiling as she dances on the floor. Such performances are fading and rarely seen by tourists.
