Tanz Lustig - Vivien Zeller & Ursula Suchanek

The dance paradigm "Tanz Lustig" was created by Simon Wascher.
It´s based on different dance descriptions of dance melodies in fast or slower 3/8 or 3/4 tempi in Germany and Austria (like schleifer, Lustig, Danz, Bäurisch, Schwäbisch) during the 18th and 19th Century. The description vary from all improvised dancing to orders of figures, very fast to very slow dancing, many figures or only turning...

Simon Waschers taught his interpretation of this written sources and his own dance experiences as a way of improvised dancing based on different described figures and movements to me.
This is how I understand it and dance it.

The written sources he worked with are quoted in is publication:
"Unterrichtsbehelfe und Melodien, Modul 8, Wickler, Gesammelte Belege für das improvisierende Tanzen mit Wzcklermotiven im deutschen Sprachraum."
