The page above was the first logo for Stepptanz (Tap dance) left and Danceshow Formations and Freestyle Solos - actually this was a sticker. The name and story of “Riesa” came from a giant living in the area at the Elbe River. The German word for “giant” in German is “ Riese ” - and this sounds very similar to “Riesa”. The translation from the middle text: Riesa - “ here taps the giant ” . But remember the double meaning of the word Riesa.
