Germany-Shoemaker Dance

Background: This dance from Germany expresses the actions of a shoemaker, winding a bobbin, pulling the thread, tapping the nails or pegs into the shoe. A long time ago shoes were not made by machines in factories but by shoemakers in their little shops. The shoemaker sewed the leather with a big needle and a very heavy thread. He fastened the soles on with pegs or nails.
Formation: Double circle
Movements: Hand gestures, skipping
