31 Nights of Halloween - Night 26: Those Dancing Witches, or Wolfshäger Hexenbrut

I can't get enough of this: German hausfraus in full witch regalia, dancing in unison to a vaguely pagan-mixed-with-ska(?)-or-reggae(?) song with a thumping beat to celebrate Walpurgisnacht. Since Walpurgisnacht is a bit like a summertime Halloween, I'm including it here for the 31 Nights of Halloween. Here's the Wolfshäger Hexenbrut dancing to Schüttel deinen Speck.

Yeah, and that song? If you're as German-deprived as me (I failed a year of it my junior year of high school), you might have figured it was some pagan ode to nature or witchcraft, but nope. It's about shakin' that bacon in a nightclub.

There's something strangely enchanting about the effort put into this production, from the elaborate costumes to the choreography. The women have gained international fame for it, rightly so, and apparently had requests for the choreography to be demonstrated. And they did demonstrate it, sans make-up, in this charming tutorial.

The more witch dances, the better.
