"Die Holzhacker"
"Die Holzhacker," or "The Woodchopper", is the Toledo Holzhacker Buam's namesake dance.
It has two parts. The first part is the wood-chopping dance, where our woodchopper boys compete to chop a log in the middle of the dance floor. The second is called the "Steirer" and is reminiscent of a romantic chase. Enjoy!
