There is no greater agony in life then doing the windmill in clogs, the 6+ pairs of socks cutting off the circulation to your feet, toes squished together, hopping up and down repeatedly with your arms and legs pin straight, moving in a coordinated circle using your one, exhausted leg-exhausted as you perform the dances for the fourth time that day, sweating and sunburnt from being up and active for hours, chugging your water, now warm. Seriously tho lmao it was a really fun experience and u get free cookies at the fire station bc otherwise youll faint. Really fun, spinning in circles with giant skirts is enjoyable. 9/10 would do it again.
I watch all these traditional dances and ceremonies from different countries and get all teary eyed. They are all so beautiful.... But then I watch traditional dances from my own country and can’t help feeling a bit embarrased... :/
I am Dutch too and feel the same, just because they make it stupid with women wearing male clothes, this shouting and this clothing what is totally not Dutch traditional.
@@lienbijs1205. My humorous Dutch grandfather would tell fish stories that we knew as “Whoppers.” When I was younger people while at a social tradition told me about Jonah and the Whale. I knew that story was a “Whopper” because I watched Pinocchio. There were Hollanders who claimed that "Mister Ed" who was in a documentary they watched on TV was a distant relative of Balaam's talking donkey. I went to Camp Geneva to listen to ghost stories about talking snakes, golem spell dirt men, enchanted fruit, talking shrubbery, food falling from the sky, a female salt shaker, talking donkeys, Noah's magic zoo boat, ghost sex, alien landings, zombies, magic hair, magical goblins, giants (Bigfoot), magically multiplying food, magic blood, an invisible magic kingdom, the heebie-jeebies, 900 year old humans, and a man who lived in a fish. My Oma was Danish and she made the best Danish pancakes that were sugar filled. My parents bought practical gifts for Christmas but when Oma and Opa came on Christmas morning I realized they were the real Santa and Mrs. Claus. True story. Danish folk story teller Hans Christian Andersen sang a song about the emperor's new clothes. It's just like the invisible armor of god thrifty Hollanders told me they were wearing to protect themselves from the Boogeyman. czcams.com/video/qoQbpiNGlTE/video.html
Koen Berkvens true, but it has become an attraction here and anyone is allowed to partake in (because of diversity). Most dancers are not Dutch, don’t care about the Dutch, or even know who the Dutch are...
@@sikid4000 as a Dutchman i cringe on how americans treat themselves and specially their flag. Like their is something to defend 😅 I am kind a glad this old tradition died out. Some things are a bit sad like that music is also gone. On the other hand its typical for our country. From our existence we are built on emigration and our culture is built around that. Emigration and isolation from groups or cities.
@@jojboy No shit culture evolves. But why do you cringe at Americans? It's funny how you claim there's nothing to defend which is a sad claim to make and I can see your a Tolkien fan and yet LOTR is all about how there's good in the world to defend. If you cringe at us we cringe at you and you can promptly fuck off. Everyone should defend themselves. Not sure wtf you were saying at the end about emigration.
Eerste dans is de ‘Skotse Trye’ - een Friese volksdans. Jammer dat de muziek bijna niet is te horen. Tot mijn twaalfde liep ik behalve op schoenen ook op klompen. Dat is voor de voeten beter dan op schoenen lopen overigens. First dance is named Skotse Trye’ - a Frisian folk dance. Too bad the music is almost inaudible. Until I was twelve I walked on clogs in addition to shoes. That is better for the feet than walking on shoes by the way.
Syria greatness Misschien kan jij dan meedoen want ik vind het zo belachelijk en idioot om die vrouwen met mannenkleren aan te zien, bovendien is die kleding niet authentiek en dat gekke gillen wat ze doen is ook maar wat die Amerikanen hebben bedacht. Maar het belachelijkste is nog wel dat het helemaal geen Nederlandse volksdans is, het lijkt er alleen maar iets op.
Woodenshoes (klomps) are mostly wearing by farmers and traditionel villagers. Back in the days they where cheap and easy to put on or off. Becauae you know you are getting dirty most times at the farm. And dirty shoes indoors were not allowed
the guy on the couch x they're clogs (wooden shoes) it's how farmers in the Netherlands used to protect their feet while working (if anything would fall on their foot the shoe would break instead of the bones). They filled them with hay for comfort so it's not that bad if you're used to them.
I’m a Dutch dancer and, they’re actually quite comfortable! We wear 5-10 pairs of socks when we dance to keep our shoes tight and prevent any flyaway shoes during the high kicks. The actual farmers and fishermen in the Netherlands would not wear that many socks.
On the country side in the Netherlands we use them a lot. In the summer the clogs are cool and in the winter they are warm, especially when you need to milk the goats in the morning.
+aulia larasati I cannot, unfortunately. And apparently neither can they! Here's an article from a couple years back on the history of the music: www.hollandsentinel.com/article/20120508/NEWS/305089835
Wow I never knew that’s what the shoes are for. I’m Dutch but I only know of Mexican traditions bc I’m Mexican and from San Diego and was raised by my Mexican mom. My dad is Dutch and Irish and have no idea what traditions they have
The shoes were used by the poor people because wood was a cheap material to use and it would protect the feet during rough labor. Yet they are extremely uncomfortable. My mom once made me wear them to teach me tradition. But my feet got blistered so badly even while wearing 5 pairs of socks... I honestly don't know how these people manage to dance on them without crying...
Well this is no longer our tradition. I am 54, Dutch, and have never in my life seen this dance except on video performed for foreign tourists. It is embarassing to think we still dance like this. We still have wooden shoes though. They're warm and dry and not as heavy as you would think.
Please be careful on who you judge is Dutch or not Dutch. People that were kidnapped from their country and loaded on crammed ships and hauled to the Nederlands as slaves, their descendants are Dutch? They were forced Dutch. Muslims can't be Dutch? Muslim is a religion not an ethnicity. I understand that you mean by blood or ethnically Dutch. But take a look at the history of the Nederlands before these Dutch immigrated to Michigan and Iowa in the 1800s. Most of Europe had states controlled by the church, when there wasn't religious freedom. Jews were heavily persecuted, and the Nederlands was very free and tolerant. Many Jews and others who wanted religious freedom migrated to the Nederlands. The Pilgrims that went to the New World fled the Church of England. But they first came to the Nederlands. So some of the Dutch that came to Holland Michigan could be English or Jewish. And don't judge the whole of the Nederlands by Amsterdam. The rest of the country is very different than Amsterdam. Don't judge upstate New York by NYC, don't judge us rest of Michiganders by Detroit.
I don't know why but I feel so terribly replaced embarassed if I see this, this shouting was never done by these kind of dancing and so ridiculous to see women in male clothes.The clothes are also not authentic and messed up.

Why
They have more pride for their Dutch heritage than we, the Dutch have. Pretty sad tbh

Great dancing from Holland enjoyed. Almost like American square dance. Enjoyed

Dit is in de USA niet Nederland.

thanks you just helped me with my homework
BEAUTYFUL I AM FROM THE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND
I am from the Netherlands why only do this dance for the tourist why don't do it Anny more
Do you have the name of this song? We are doing Holland for a United Nations project for lower elementary. And we want to do this dance 🎉😊
I think this is an interesting take on dancing together and having fun. W a side of ASMR 😂😂
Nice job Dutch dancers
ehm, these American dancers are dancing in the town Holland in the state Michigan ;-)
I like the part in the second dance when all the dudes go into the little circle like we dem bois lmao 😂
Cool, I'm half dutch. ☺
Same lol
i am dutch :)
Me 100%
I'm Mexican American and half Dutch.
Do you just wear one clog when you dance then? 🤣
Super
So funny ❤🇳🇱
Wij zijn de beste dansers
What is with the extreme blandness 😂
Woodenshoes (klomps) are mostly wearing by farmers and traditionel villagers. Back in the days they where cheap and easy to put on or off. Becauae you know you are getting dirty most times at the farm. And dirty shoes indoors were not allowed
No disrespect, but what's with the shoes? Is it like tap ? Are they comfortable?
the guy on the couch x they're clogs (wooden shoes) it's how farmers in the Netherlands used to protect their feet while working (if anything would fall on their foot the shoe would break instead of the bones). They filled them with hay for comfort so it's not that bad if you're used to them.

The Blonde Bird Girl I was a dutch dancer and everybody in my group hated them. The only good thing was sprinting and stomping around to make noise
On the country side in the Netherlands we use them a lot. In the summer the clogs are cool and in the winter they are warm, especially when you need to milk the goats in the morning.
I would think metal taps on the bottom of each wooden shoe would help prevent the shoe from splitting or splintering
Can you tell me what song they use?
+aulia larasati I cannot, unfortunately.
And apparently neither can they! Here's an article from a couple years back on the history of the music: www.hollandsentinel.com/article/20120508/NEWS/305089835
I don't recognize the song..I'm Dutch but..I've never done this xD
I live on the dutch country side and we play this also. it's " driekusman "
How much time did the Dutch people have on their hands to make this thing
Well this is in Michigan, not actual dutch
I know that, I’m talking about the Dutch coming up with the concept.
@@alarmmclock4460 This is as much dutch as an non- native American claims he is American.
The Dutch soccer team should play with that footwear.
😭
I hope they are wearing leatherette slippers in the klompen as we did. . wore them till i was 10
Done ❤️
Good military show 😁
dit is een schande voor mijn land
@Mitzi Paap * Urk *
Why so?
what is this dance called
Gabriel Spicer no
De boere trien tyfus dans
Klompendans - woodenshoe dance
Trynna Eat healthy Hahahah
Something That Very, Very Remotely Might Look Like What Ever Must Have Been A Dutch Traditional Dance......
İts good
I think English dancing was so much more elegant.
there are good for a military parade.... or during the night to go go to the washroom... everybody will notice that!
Wow I never knew that’s what the shoes are for. I’m Dutch but I only know of Mexican traditions bc I’m Mexican and from San Diego and was raised by my Mexican mom. My dad is Dutch and Irish and have no idea what traditions they have
The shoes is also for real use. My grandpa still wore them we he was alive
, wouldnt recommend.
The shoes isn't for dancing like flamenco 😂
The shoes were used by the poor people because wood was a cheap material to use and it would protect the feet during rough labor. Yet they are extremely uncomfortable.

Klompendans ahaa
Watching The Black Night "yal gonna get me k!lled" 😂🤦🏽
Eggs on bread
I hope the dancers have something on the bottoms of their wooden dance shoes
Linda Thrall we don’t :(
Que Chulo I thought it would be a good idea to put the metal taps on the bottom of the shoes to help prevent them from splintering and getting damaged
They wear 6 - 8 pairs of thick socks. I danced for 6 years. It's actually not uncomfortable at all.
Ik kan me nog steeds niet voorstellen dat dansen in klompen bepaald prettig zijn om in te dansen
You put six or more pairs of socks on under them, it feels like you don’t have feet so it’s really not that awful
I want to visit Denmark . My great grandfather came from Denmark and married a Cherokee girl. This is my dads side. My moms side is German I think.
Are you aware that this dance is not Danish nor is it German lol... It's dutch, from the Netherlands
Shame on me for my country we dont do this shit anymore in Holland
Well, there are still clubs where you can do this! 😅😂
Vele volksdansverenigingen houden deze cultuur gelukkig levend. Shame on you to call this shit, no respect for your ancestors. Bad bad bad.
Oei dat is oud... this is how we dance nowadays. Groeten uit Nederland :-) czcams.com/video/C5twgGev0Jg/video.html
No men available?
their was one man right? but i can't really tell
Nobody really watches in the back ground
Looks like Hobbits from Lord of the Rings
Probably, because its not Dutch, even not the clothes.
@@jpsholland Dutch person here, what does count as traditionally Dutch, then?
Too bad the clogs aren't decorated too
Holland isnt so
Please be careful on who you judge is Dutch or not Dutch.
People that were kidnapped from their country and loaded on crammed ships and hauled to the Nederlands as slaves, their descendants are Dutch? They were forced Dutch.
Muslims can't be Dutch? Muslim is a religion not an ethnicity.

@James Smith it is also not traditional dutch. You can also call it German or Belgian or Native America for that sake.
Wtf
I love those Germans!!
They're Dutch
@@brocaesar7484 and @chrisv73 they're Americans
