There are many regions, sometimes villages, which have their own traditional Landler, seen as a set of figures which is typical for the Landler of this special region. <p> As far as I know, the Landler is mostly very smooth and done in slow Waltz time. It is mainly based on arm figures which sometimes can be rather complicated. <p> It is very important to say that the Landler is a category (!) and not a single dance. However, in former days most people only knew their regional form of Landler (since there was not so much travelling in those days) and they called this set of figures simply "the Landler". <p> If the list of dances at an Austrian folk dancing event simply shows "Ländler" (with umlaut "a") I understand it as a dance in slow Waltz time where you dance figures of your choice (!) from the special Landlers. There is nothing with jumping: Only moving very smooth and "celebrating" the figures. [Please tell me, if I'm wrong ... - it is just what I've found out on the several folk dancing festivals. My experience seems to be in contradiction to <a href="http:/fff/dance/site/birgit/">Birgit Windl's text about the Ländler</a>, however, maybe the musicians always play a Landler, if there is a Ländler on the list.] <p> Examples of Landlers are: <ul> <li>Ausseer Landler <li>Blindenmarkter Landler <li>Feistritzer Landler <li>Ischler Landler <li>Ispertaler Landler <li>Niederbairischer Landler <li>Untersteirer (Landler) <li>Ybser Landler <li>Zillertaler Landler </ul> The typical (Austrian folk) dancer is able to do the most common Landlers of the region/province where he is dancing. However, if he gets in touch with a new form, he might be able to follow the dance since it is likely that he will know some of the figures from the other Landlers. <p> Landlers are danced at traditional folk dancing events. The average Austrian dancer will NOT be able to dance a Landler ... <p> <h1>Additional information </h1> <ul> <li>One level up you'll find information about the <a href="http:/fff/dance/dances/laendler/">Ländler</a><li><a href="http:/fff/dance/material/video/landler/">Landlers on video</a><li><a href="http:/fff/dance/material/video">Video tapes</a> with Landlers are available. <li><a href="http:/fff/dance/misc/descr.html">Descriptions of dances</a> (Tanzbeschreibungen) <li><a href="http:/fff/dance/misc/books.html">Books about Austrian Folkdancing</a><li><a href="http:/fff/dance/books/jenewein.html">Helmut Jenewein: Katalog für Volkstänze</a><li><a href="http:/fff/dance/misc/trapp.html">The Sound of Music</a><li>Audio tape with <a href="http:/fff/dance/music/mappen.html">Steirische und Landler</a><li><a href="http:/fff/dance/misc/kurs/landler/index.html">Landlerkurse</a></ul> <h1>If you are searching with "BIBOS" </h1> TITEL: Landler <ul> <li>Bottesch, Johanna: ¬Die¬ bairisch-österreichische Mundart der Landler von Großpold (Apoldu de Sus) in Siebenbürgen (Rumänien) / Johanna und <li>Corpus musicae popularis Austriacae. - Wien [u.a.] : Böhlau 5.
