Once a friend from overseas told me that he doesn't know a lot about Austria. But as he know they people wear funny clothes? I was a little bit confused. Funny clothes?? Finally I found out what he was talking about ... he thought all Austrian wear local liveries.
Sorry for everyone else who is thinking the same. We don't do it... except for such festivals. Or sometimes in special restaurants. But you won't see kids like these in a typical Austrian street scene... ;-)

and for sure I wouldn't dance. But I don't like to dance generally.
I am afraid, I can not tell you something about the local dances but I like when they did the same movements at the same time. Especially if the dancer are so close to each other you will see very easy if someone is wrong with his/her movements.

At the Town Hall square there was a local music band which played folk music. I have to admit, when I drive my car I never would listen that kind of music because I don't like it. But if you visit such places it is different. (it doesn't mean that I loved it)
