Schunkeln

Schunkeln (German: [ˈʃʊŋkəln], English: /ˈʃʊŋkəln/ SHOONG-kuln) is the name in the German language used to describe a certain rhythmic movement to the beat of a song, people link arms and sway side to side on the spot.

Sometimes people will also move backwards and forwards, as well as stand up and sit down.

It is also performed by audience members on TV shows such as Musikantenstadl.

In English speaking countries such as Britain it is often referred to as simply swaying; the form of dance would often be performed by audience members in British music halls[2] and later working men's clubs when people would sit together and listen to live entertainment with popular music, or in pubs.

Sometimes the style of movement was taken part in by audience members of Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club TV show.
