International ribbon tree dance with folklore festival on Dresden's Altmarkt
Dresden danced colorfully into May with international students from over 20 nationalities from our folk dance course and with our folklore dance ensemble. After the traditional maypole on the Altmarkt in Dresden – erected by carpenters from the region – was danced around with long ribbons, the audience was also able to take part in convivial folk dances. A city with many people and cultures to experience a tradition together with a lot of joy and dance! The folklore dance ensemble then presented various dances from its repertoire, creating a great atmosphere and generating much applause.

Wir feiern 65 Jahre FolklorWe celebrate 65 years of folklore dance at the TU Dresden!
“Dance folklore is immortal. Nourished by the traditions of primitive peoples, kept alive across artificially created national borders, enriched by exchange, it still shows today how the folk art of dance has continuously developed.” (DNN, 22.11.15)
No, we did not celebrate the retirement on 21.11.2015 in the Kulturhaus Freital, but celebrated 65 years of folklore dance at the TU Dresden and our successful continuation – with 20 choreographies, danced by young talents, our active ensemble members and TUTE alumni.
Our ensemble for an open-minded Dresden!
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!
