Here we go again, 23 Years Erlangen Irish Set Dance Weekend!

Beautiful, spacious Redoutensaal is already booked in the heart of Erlangen.

Enjoy a happy weekend in Erlangen’s Redoutensaal – a historic ballroom from 1748, equipped with perfect bouncy wooden floor big enough to host all dancers, offering chairs around the hall for everyone. Also equipped with a perfect sound system, stage and air condition. Probably the nicest ballroom for set dancers anywhere. 

Erlangen’s weekend is a tribute to preserve the tradition of sets … be part of it, together with dancers from all around the world!

Expect a Sparkling Party as always!

Looking forward to welcome you again!
