Experiences

No, teachers manage classes in a way where you partner up with someone you don’t know and then there is a rotation, a change of partners managed by the teacher. This is how you get to know people and get dance partners.
Yes you can, you just need to mention it to the teacher because he will make people change partners.
Yes you can, everybody dances with everybody. Men follow and women also lead.
There is no dress code. Workshops tend to be sportive and casual, nights elegant, also in a modern, jeans version. To get an idea you can take a look at our facebook pictures. Clothes tend to be tight, it is more comfortable for dancing.
Teachers usually start with a warm up to avoid injuries. Then in a solo class they build up a routine slowly and you work on it throughout the hour. If it is a partnerwork class, a teacher can make you dance in a couple for 3 mins to check the level and then they start to teach a partnerwork routine. They will make you change partners several times during the class.

During workshops, it is possible to record footage only at the end and only with the express permission of the lead instructor. Additional possibility of recording is available to accredited journalistic teams with proper permission.During events, filming of demonstrations or social dancing on the dance floor is not prohibited as long as it doesn’t interfere with the party. It is forbidden to bring additional lighting or commercial banners.

Catering will be available all the time until 1 am. During the night also snacks and hot pizza will be served. Breakfast is also available. Drinks at the bars will be available for purchase throughout the event.
Unfortunately, you can not. Only people with the proper festival wristband are allowed to enter the workshop halls.
A participant receives one wristband for the entire festival for a given package. I.e., he receives more than one wristband when he has purchased an additional package such as Bootcamp. We do not issue participants a new wristband every day (!!!)
No, parking is arranged by each participant individually. If the participant uses parking on the premises then all payments must be settled with the administration of the facility.
As a festival, we follow the government’s recommendations on this issue. Currently, there are no additional restrictions and requirements. However, if the situation in the country changes, we reserve the right to introduce appropriate rules so that the festival is safe for all participants. We expect our participants to be responsible and not to show up at the festival in case of illness.
