For this annual festival many residents wear authentic traditional Dutch costumes, which are hand-sewn in the area. Most worn in events are made to strict specifications, with no zippers-all hooks and eyes-and specific fabrics. Dancers wear 6 to 8 pairs of socks to make the wooden shoes/clogs/klompen comfortable. Here mostly female dancers are seen "clomping" in the streets around the city's Centennial Park.

6-8 pairs of sock to make the wooden shoes comfortable?.. that means they're wearing the wrong size.. a good pair is made toe measure..
they can be worn with only thin socks, or even barefoot.
Finally i see all!
Love my dutchies 🤣❤️
So wonderful, and sweet! Yeh, Holland!
I'm just look at thtis because we're having a one world day in school and my class is doing the netherlands. We have to wear traditional dutch wear and I didn't know what that was until now
They are doing a traditional Dutch folk dance that is performed in wooden shoes (klompen). See more description above.
goed bezig! goede choreografie en stijl een mooi folklore demonstratie (L) sadly it's a dying tradition in the netherlands and is almost gone.
Sorry to hear that.

Nice show.. good to watch...
looks pretty authentic to me.
Neat! And completely random!
How did i get here
Really quick, before every goes into detail about how much this dance offends them and is historically incorrect, read this.
In 1847, Albertus Van Raalte migrated from the Netherlands to Western Michigan and founded the city of Holland. In a census from the 1990s, Holland, MI was shown to have MORE Dutch people than anywhere else in the United States. Our Tulip Time festival is not for tourism or to exploit Dutch culture, it is to honor and remember all of our Dutch ancestors. And because of that reason, extensive research has gone into the costumes that the Dutch Dancers wear. The costumes represent the many different provinces in the Netherlands- the ones in this video are mainly Urk, Staphorst, Middelburg, Friesland, Marken, and Volendam. Some of the costumes have added color to bring more life to the festival and the dance, but they are otherwise 100% authentic AND handmade.
I personally have never seen or participated in the specific dance that is being performed in this video, I believe this group was simply warming-up and getting ready to perform the main dance (note the other dancers lined up behind and in front of them.) The dance that is widely performed at the Tulip Time festival is about 12 minutes long and quite different from the one in this video.
Lastly, the reason that girls are wearing boy's clothing- These dancers are of highschool age and each group is selected from each highschool in the city. Most highschool age boys, OBVIOUSLY are not going to willingly dress up in costumes and clog dance in the street to lively music. The ONLY reason girls are wearing boys clothing is because this is a boy-girl partner dance, and not enough boys want to dance each year. So girls step in and take their place. No need to be offended, it's just to make up for a lack of dancers.
Sexistic pig.! DIE NOW.!
EA
what dutch person would get offended by a fucking dance? People are waaay too sensitive nowadays, jesus.
Seriously nobody does this in Nederland
@@johannesbijker2197 yeahhh... we do but you don't see it a lot I used to do this at school!
As a Dutch person, we aren't offended by this at all. We love to see our culture used and represented!
Thats the prettiest Dutch dude 😂
Are there any men in Holland? :-D
Curious as to how heavy those clogs are to dance in.
Dried wood is a lot lighter than leather.
now we know why they never will win a football world cup championship
Klompen niet ver loopen op de straad. Clogs are not designed for wearing on hard surfaces like paved roads and concrete.
They are designed for working in the fields. This dance needs to be done on a grassed area or the dancers will damage their knees and ankles.
رائع
then why are you watching this? no one's forcing you. allow us who do enjoy without your negative comments.
It doesnt look dutch in any way
I search for klompen on youtube..I expect Netherlands...the first link takes me straight to the States....Oh irony....
Come visit us in the U.S.!
As a professional Folkdance teacher Dutch and International folklore I must say that the costumes aswell the dances are
not really authenticiteit. It looks a bit like Dutch folklore but they are more for toerist performance. Also used the mannenstem part dressed tomman not woman..
But however it's nice Dutch People abroad trie to continue our habits and folklore. Maybe getting a traditional folkdance teacht
teacher for these events?
Umm....Okay. I hope they had fun. Doing that >.>
They did
jewish dance?
I did a little research and there is no indication klompen dancing is a Jewish dance.

Talking about cultural appropriation. 🙄
You dont understand what that means.
It may look pretty but it ain`t authentic sorry to disappoint,
Try some research on real Dutch Costumes and Dutch Folkdances/Music.
Kind rgds.
