Reinventing. Every year. Join the future!
We believe, sometimes we need to change
We took a great step and risk in 2018 and decided to make some crucial changes to our very own concept, a concept which has been working for our events for many years. Our aim with those changes was to make it more attractive AND effective for you to take part in workshops and we want you to take home the best experience and memories. And it worked already pretty well, but of course - that was only the first step, now we need to adapt that concept following many of your feedbacks.
Our promise is: we will continue to try out. We will continue to improve. We will continue to set standards and being different than other events. And we will continue to listen to you.
Take your time and explore the possibilities our new concept offers you
Find out what the new, revolutionary concept does contain. And what changes we will be making in 2019.
What is going to be different in 2019
Changes to the Academy concept
In 2019 we will offer you a mix of 2 hour blocks and 4 hour blocks of Academies. This will give you more flexibility, not only to choose your favorite instructors or themes, but also - if you desire - to wake up later and come later. We also got two additional large rooms for classes which will replace the smaller rooms we used in 2018.
The 2 hour Academies require signing in online but it is not mandatory. Signing up helps us to assign the right Academy to each room, it allows us to manage the number of people. You can switch freely between the 2 hour Academies, but we can not guarantee that any of the rooms might not be overcrowded. The 2 hour Academies are happening in the larger rooms. Some of the 2 hour Academies will have only one instructor/team teaching, while others will have two collaborating on a common theme.
The 4 hour Academies - similar to 2018 - will require mandatory signing up before. Only those who signed up will have access. In return we will reduce the assigned capacity to those rooms/Academies by 30% and we will guarantee that there will be enough space. The 4 hour Academies will mainly be happening in the smaller rooms. Most of the 4 hour Academies will be taught by 4 instructors/teams in colaboration following one theme, while a few will have only 2 instructors teaching.
Additionally we will offer also 2 hour Academies PLUS blocks after the regular Academies on Saturday & Sunday afternoon. Those will be accessible only to those who purchased an Upgrade PLUS for 20€ (5€ per hour of class!). Those Academies will be mainly targeted towards Advanced and Intermediate/Advanced dancers. The number of Upgrades PLUS is limited to 300 making sure there will be enough space in those Academies.
You can purchase an Upgrade Plus also as addition to your Dance & Fun Pass, offering you the option to only take classes in the afternoon and party hard until late in the morning.
We believe, the combination of those types of Academies will give you more flexibility while still allowing us to manage the room capacities and giving you a different learning experience.
We will again offer Masterclasses which are accessible for those with Upgrade PLUS and after you passed the classification test on Friday. If you didn't pass the classification test, you can of course still join the regular Academies PLUS in the Afternoon.
Another new feature will be the voluntary classification test for attendees. Many are not sure which level they actually are. Join this classification test and find out. We will have some of our instructors there which will give you a proffesional assessment of your level of dancing. Again, this is a voluntary offer and the results have no consequences whatsoever. Except you knowing better where you stand.
For the lovers of Semba we offer a 6 hour Intensive Training with Afro Latin Connection on Friday, where you will deepen your knowledge and get a lot of insights into this beautiful dance. This training is not included in any of the passes, details to this coming soon.
And of course we will continue with our School of Performing Arts, as this was a really great feature welcomed by many.
Thank you to everybody who took the time and effort to give us feedback!
