22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Austrian village party 2

I was lucky enough to visit a little village in Tyrol, Austria, during a local traditional celebration the locals were having this summer. During the celebration a local group of a traditional dance performed a dance called Schuhplattler. The dance itself is very demanding and requires the dancer to jump and catch their shoes at the same time.
