Dancing together, experiencing democracy: Dancing with Change in Freising

When Irish live music meets community, movement, and human rights, the courtyard of the Freising city library turns into an open dance floor. At the Ceilidh dance workshop Dancing with Change on October 2, 2026, the Long Night of Democracy invites all generations to participate.

Irish live music and a shared rhythm

The folk-rock band Riverrun provides the musical drive for a traditional Cèilidh. The music gets people moving, creates direct encounters, and turns the workshop into a lively club experience outdoors. No prior knowledge is needed: the trained children will show the steps, and then the entire crowd will join in.

Dance floor atmosphere with a message

Dancing with Change combines party atmosphere and social dialogue. The focus is on the question of what makes a good coexistence – on the dance floor and beyond. Who makes space for others? How does a shared rhythm emerge? And how does everyone find their own step in the process?

Two workshop slots, a strong conclusion

The Ceilidh dance workshop takes place in two sessions from 6:30 PM to 7:15 PM and from 9:00 PM to 9:45 PM in the courtyard of the city library. All age groups are welcome, whether alone, with friends, or as a family. At 11:00 PM, the Long Night of Democracy concludes with the final song Europe, now and here in the Marienplatz.
