This date is only for early risers and dance enthusiasts: the 15th morning dance took place in the forestry in Pullach.

Pullach - Sunday morning, eight o'clock.

Nobody on the streets of Pullach.

In the forestry in Großhesselohe, on the other hand, there is already a lot going on.

There are probably 60 people in traditional costumes sitting around the musicians' pavilion, some have brought a snack with them and have already unpacked it, others only have a raffia basket on the table in front of them.

They all have a crocheted mini rose on their lapel or neckline, the men in blue, the women in red - the ticket to the traditional, 15th Morgendanzl, organized by Johannes Schuster, one of the motors of the folk dance scene around Munich .

At least for the outsider, the whole thing is a light variant of the Kocherlball in the city, whereby “light” refers above all to the time at which the participants had to get up.

Because the Kocherlball, once a treat for the servants of better people, is known to start early in the morning at six o'clock in the morning, but, as you can see here, it's far too much of an event and not that great for dancing - there's just around the Chinese Tower gravel surface.

Here in the forestry, however, there is a wooden floor available, and those present storm it with the first waltz.

Before we get started, Johannes Schuster was just able to tell you that he invented the morning dance on the occasion of the 1200th anniversary of Pullach in 2006. Since then, the favorite event of all dance enthusiasts around Munich has only had to be canceled twice - once, "because it poured it like that”, the second time, of course, because of Corona 2020.

If you want to talk to someone, you really have to hold on - otherwise they'll all be on the dance floor.

Kindly, Ingrid Wolff and Helmut Zürner let the reporter skip the polka that is coming now and tell them that they came here from Feldkirchen-Westerham.

They have been folk dance fans for many years and say: "Movement is everything" and: "The social aspect is also very important".

They shine with the sun, which brings more and more heat, to bet.

Sabrina and Andreas Böhm are sitting diagonally across from them, in front of them on the beer table a basket covered all over with dance badges.

Sabrina is French, she says that in France folk dancing is more for watching than for taking part.

Their four children, they say and beam, are just discovering folk dance for themselves.

Then the Höhenkirchner musicians play the "Kikeriki", a former Upper Austrian dance that, as we learn, every child learns in kindergarten - but certainly without the erotic text that used to be sung along with it.

Johannes Schuster planned more than 20 dances until the end of the event at 12 p.m., but to be on the safe side he also had it printed on the program: "Changes are always and at any time possible and not unlikely!"
