Pre-Party

on Monday at the "Bell Rock" Hotel - Bar Spirit of St. Louis

Many guests arrive the evening before the festival so that they can start the first day of the festival in a relaxed manner. We want to welcome you and invite you to the pre-party at the "Bell Rock" hotel. You don't even need your ticket for this - the party is open to all dance fans and admission is free, so you can come along spontaneously even if you arrive at night.

In the "Spirit of St. Louis" bar (on the first floor, directly opposite the main entrance) you can dance to "all styles in the mix" from 9 pm to 1 am : Salsa, Discofox, Swing, WCS & Co.
