A special highlight this year – as a continuation of our successes in recent years – will be our participation in the 30th anniversary of the International Folklore Festival in Katowice/Cieszyn (http://msff.pl) from 26.08. to 03.09.17, to which we have received an invitation from a large number of international applicants. The other nine participating groups will be bringing their traditional dances from Algeria, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Turkey and Zimbabwe.

A special highlight in Dresden every year: the ribbon tree dance around the maypole erected live by regional carpenters, which international students and young academics from TU Dresden of around 15 different nationalities will perform in their traditional national costumes at the opening of the Dresden Spring Market. Afterwards, the audience will be invited to join in some convivial folk dancing and the TU Dresden folklore dance ensemble “Thea Maass” will perform several stage dance choreographies.

Still looking for original Christmas presents? You can buy a VOUCHER VOUCHER FOR A VOLKSTANZ COURSE from us and give it as a gift to anyone who would benefit from a bit of exercise of a special kind!

Redeemable in the summer or winter semester 2017 …

]In summer 2016, at the invitation of CIOFF Portugal, we were the first German group to take part in the FOLKFARO International Folklore Festival in Faro/Portugal from 19 to 29 August 2016 with 28 ensemble members. Groups from six other countries also took part: Brazil, France, Georgia, Kenya, the Philippines and Portugal. The artistic level of all participating groups was very high and our diverse German folklore repertoire was perceived as an enriching contrast. A successful and important cultural exchange!

After more than 65 years of folklore dance ensemble there is now a trailer to give you a short insight into our versatile repertoire!

TUTE on the wrong track: fitness training and festival preparation of a different kind – hiking in Saxon Switzerland!

The folklore dance ensemble “Thea Maass” from TU Dresden with dancers from all over the world would also like to set an example for xenophilia and a culture of togetherness in Dresden and is therefore showing solidarity with the “#WOD – Initiative weltoffenes Dresden”. Our ensemble is also emphatically positioning itself for an open society, tolerance and solidarity, not least in Saxony, and is calling for participation in the star run under the motto “Herz statt Hetze” on Monday, 19.10.2015 in Dresden!
