Céilí in the Countryside !
2026-11-28 13:00 - 16:00 | Country Linedancer Ellertal, Am Bärnhäuter 1, Litzendorf, 96123, Germany
Wir tanzen unser zweites Ceili im wunderschönen Saal der Ellertaler LineDancer in Pödeldorf (Litzendorf). Viele von Euch haben den perfekt renovierten Saal mit Holz-Schwingboden schon bei unserem Sommer Ceili kennen und lieben gelernt.
Wir tanzen Sets Sets Sets zu recorded music von 13:00 bis 16:00. Welche Sets wir tanzen …. lasst Euch überraschen! Macht Euch keine Sorgen, ich erkläre und calle alle Sets.
Am gleichen Wochenende findet in 4 Minuten Fahrentfernung der traditionelle fränkische Adventsmarkt in Litzendorf statt, bei dem sich die Buden romantisch um die alte Kirche gruppieren, und wo wir nach dem Ceili bei einbechender Dunkelheit mit Glühwein, Bratwürsten und mehr die Advents-Stimmung perfekt geniessen können.
Es stehen einige Parkplätze vor dem Saal und viele weitere auf der Strasse zur Verfügung. Auch der Bus aus Bamberg hält fast vor dem Saal. Bitte parkt nicht im Hof der Gaststätte Haderlein. Im Saal gibt es zu sehr moderaten Preisen ein Auswahl von Getränken, bringt bitte keine eigenen Getränke mit, danke.

Ihr müsst Euch nicht anmelden, kommt einfach vorbei und tanzt mit uns in den 1. Advent.
It has to be fun, that’s what it’s all about!

Ich freue mich auf EUCH, in Reeltime, Andrea

We’ll be dancing our second ceili in the beautiful hall of the Ellertaler LineDancers in Pödeldorf (Litzendorf). Many of you have already danced there and loved this perfectly renovated hall with its wooden sprung floor from our summer ceili.
We will dance sets, sets, sets to recorded music from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Which sets we dance…. let it be a surprise! Don’t worry—I’ll explain and call all the sets.
That same weekend, just a 4-minute drive away, the traditional frankonian Advent market in Litzendorf will be taking place, where the huts are romantically clustered around the old church, and where, after the ceili as darkness falls, we can fully enjoy the Advent atmosphere with mulled wine, bratwurst, and more.
There are a few parking spots in front of the hall and many more available on the street. The bus from Bamberg also stops almost right in front of the hall. Please do not park in the courtyard of the Haderlein restaurant. The hall offers a selection of drinks at very reasonable prices; please do not bring your own drinks, thank you.
You don’t need to register—just come by and dance with us on the first Sunday of Advent.
It has to be fun, that’s what it’s all about!
I’m looking forward to seeing YOU all—in reeltime, Andrea
