Welcome to the MSA!

On Wednesday 7 August, from 7.15 to 8.15pm, Alex will be leading a ceilidh in the Olympic Village. It’s part of a series of events called „Tanzen im Dorf“ (Dancing in the Village) organized by the Olympic Village cultural association. In sunny weather the dancing will be in the amphitheatre by forum1 and if it’s raining in front of forum2, which is below the Nadischule in the Olympic Village, Nadistraße 3, 80809 Munich.

On Tuesday 13 August 2024, from 7.15 to 8.15pm, there’ll be a further ceilidh led by Alex. This one is part of the event series called „Tanzen im Park“ organized by Munich city’s Cultural Department. It will take place in the Ostpark on the gymnastic meadow by the lake.

Both ceilidhs are free of charge and open to all, so they’re ideal for introducing your friends to Scottish dancing.

From 7pm (admission from 6.30pm) in the Parish Hall of the Catholic Church in the Olympiazentrum (opposite our Wednesday hall in the same building) you’ll be able to take part in a selection of enjoyable dances to good music. Please bring a contribution for the buffet. All the dances will be walked through once. If you want a bit of extra practice, there’ll be a walkthrough session from 4.30pm.
