Dresden maypole dance - dancers wanted
On April 27, 2024, the traditional raising of the maypole by Dresden's carpenters will finally take place again on Dresden's Altmarkt after a 4-year break. Afterwards, the maypole will be danced around in a festive ribbon dance in which the 20 m long ribbons will be braided. The whole event is framed by a hearty carpenter's clap, a performance by the folklore dance ensemble "Thea Maass" from the TU Dresden and sociable dances for spectators.The event is organized by the City of Dresden, the Dresden Guild of Carpenters and the folklore dance ensemble "Thea Maass" of the TU Dresden.
