Celebrations abound in Erlangen as residents take to the streets for a lively dance!
In August 2025, the city of Erlangen, Germany, is set to transform its streets into an open-air dance floor for four weekends. The dance event, named "Erlangen tanzt!," is part of an effort to make Erlangen's city center more vibrant and lively.
The event, which takes place from 01.08. - 24.08.2025, will feature a variety of dance activities mainly around mid-to-late August. The schedule includes workshops and social dance events.
One of the main participating dance schools is Tanzschule Rupprecht Gillet, which collaborates with the Swing Rebels who conduct the Charleston workshops. The solo and partner Charleston workshops are scheduled for August 14, 2025, from 19:00 to 21:00, with locations at the Platz behind the Theater at the end of Wasserturmstraße in Erlangen or at Tanzschule Rupprecht Gillet, Nürnberger Straße 10, 91052 Erlangen. A Balboa class is also planned for the same day.
A social dance gathering, known as the "Super Secret Social," is scheduled for August 22, 2025, from 20:00 to 23:59 at Willstätter-Gymnasium, entrance opposite Egidienplatz 37, 90403 Nürnberg.
The locations for each dance event will be announced three hours before the start on the respective date. The event is free and no registration is required for the offers of Erlangen dances.
A total of 18 dance schools and professionals will participate in the event, although a fuller comprehensive list beyond Tanzschule Rupprecht Gillet and Swing Rebels is not provided in the available data.
