I used to be a member of a dance group. We were amateur professional, that is, we danced out of enthusiasm but did in fact do gigs. We danced German and Russian folk. My purpose here is to find out if there are good dance resources on the web and in particular is there one that can describe the 'ploddle' which is a portion of Oktoberfest dancing where the men slap their knees and heels in a musical pattern. I can remember how to start the ploddle but I can't remember how to get through it. Did a brief web search which didn't go anywhere, and I'm wondering now if I'm spelling it correctly or missing an umlaut or something. (Actually, I've been told that I've been missing an umlaut for some time).

Thanks
