“The Hat Dance”

A group of dancers in traditional attire perform a lively dance on a wooden stage, surrounded by an audience seated at tables in a park setting.

History & Background

Who will win the crown? In the dance, the King or Maid seeks a suitor from the dancers around them.

“Here, girl, you have my hand, but only for a short time; I am a king without a country and I love pastimes. Think, it’s certainly not a small thing to dance with a king once in a while, so, girl, dress up, come into my castle!”
