Information about the festival

Once a year, the city's biggest dance festival transforms Gasteig HP8 into a huge dance floor for everyone. Several thousand people are once again able to try out different dance styles in workshops, listen to live music and simply let themselves go.

Professionals and newcomers, children, young people and senior citizens take over the entire area of Gasteig HP8 from the afternoon until after midnight and conquere all the dance floors – barefoot, in wheelchairs or on high heels. No matter if it’s hula-hoop dancing or silent disco in the open air, K-pop, breaking or a hot salsa party in Hall E: Tanz den Gasteig gets everyone moving and sets those happiness hormones flowing.

Accessibility information

Tanz den Gasteig is an event of Gasteig München GmbH in cooperation with the Gasteig Cultural Foundation. With the kind support of Motel One and the Oskar Hacker Foundation.

We would like to thank all our partners, institutions and artists for their contribution, in particular the Münchner Volkshochschule adult education centre, the Munich Public Library, the Wolfgang Scheuer dance school and the Make Up Artist Factory.

“What excited us the most was the diversity and vibe of the audience. We’re in our mid-20s, and normally, when we go out partying, the crowd is quite homogeneous. But not at this event: we’re in the techno space and suddenly there’s a retired couple having fun. It was a safe space in which everyone could move about and try things out. Great event; should happen more than once a year.”
