Class auditions: If you are registered as an Advance Lindy Hop, you need to join the audition on Saturday, 10:30-11:00 for the grouping. 

​

If you miss this audition, we will place you directly on the second group. No audition for intermediate. No pressure, it’s basically just the social dance.

  • Bring backup shoes! The dance floor at the main venue can GET PRETTY SLIPPERY. But on Sunday, it might get STICKY, so bringing an extra pair is the best idea.

  • Travel light. Sunday will be packed, and there’s no cloakroom at Blueshell. Bring only what you really need. Watch your belongings. Keep an eye on your phone, wallet, and bags.

  • Cloakroom at Tanzraum. The cloakroom is downstairs. Please leave your belongings there to keep the main room spacious. We can’t be responsible for lost or stolen items.

  • Drink cards at Tanzraum. You can buy a drink card at the entrance. They’re non-refundable, so why not treat a friend to a drink? :)

  • Sunday Party – The Sunday party is free for Night Train ticket holders, so make sure to keep your bracelet on!

  • Respect our neighbours at Tanzraum. Tanzraum is located in a residential building, so please keep the noise down outside the entrance after 22:00. Be considerate, avoid talking too loudly and help us keep the neighbours happy. 

Not taking classes on Saturday? Come hang out together!

We will organize hang out session on Saturday, 7.11.  between 14:00-16:00 at Board Game cafe or cozy Coffee Shop.  It's a chance to meet other dancers, relax and enjoy the festival even if you're not taking classes. On Friday you could sign up, and we will connect you all.

We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable throughout the festival.

Our Safer Space Team is here if you need support or someone to talk to. We will introduce them during the Event. Please read our Code of Conduct and Terms & Conditions before the festival. Let's take care of each other. 

We are releasing special edition stickers for this Festival. We only have 100 available, so it's first come, first served on Friday Grab yours early! It’s glow in the dark. And it’s free. Check this out.
