Pole Picknick
10. August 2025 from 2 pm to 6 pm at Elbsegler
About
The Dresden Pole Picnic is a socio-cultural outdoor event for pole art and pole dance enthusiasts and interested persons, which has been organized by Minor e.V. since 2016 at the Elbsegler in front of the historic city of Dresden.
The Dresden Pole Picnic brings together people passionate about pole dance, aerial hoop, and movement – an inspiring blend of art, movement, and community. In a relaxed open-air atmosphere, interested persons can train together for free or gain initial experience under the guidance of experienced instructors.

Off Pole Acrobatics
For us, the Pole Picnic is about movement, dance, and togetherness. Why should this only be possible on aerial apparatus?
