AMSTERDAM KIZOMBA FESTIVAL ❮ 23-25 OCTOBER 2015 ❯ OFFICIAL EVENT PAGE

✥✥THE FIRST KIZOMBA FESTIVAL IN AMSTERDAM ✥✥ QUESTIONS SEPARATE PARTY TICKETS Dear peeps, We get dozens of questions by FB message about the separate party tickets. The answer to these questions are mostly to be found in the description of this event page. So please stop sending us messages with this question. We won't be answering those messages anymore. All info is here and on www.amsterdamkizombafestival.com SEPARATE PARTY TICKETS The venue has limited space of 1100 people but we will allow only 800 people to make sure people can dance comfortably. Since the demand for the Saturday party is quite big, we are forced to manage the ticket sales for the individual parties. This means that if we have space left, we will sell the separate party tickets and Saturday passes. We can not reserve individual party tickets. If you want to be assured of attending the Saturday party you can still buy the party pass. Buy in time to avoid disappointment.Since it's the first edition we had no idea of the amount of attendants. It turns out that many of you wish to be in Amsterdam wink-emoticon For this year our options are limited. But we will make sure to get a bigger venue for next year! smile-emoticon Prices : FULL PASS: €115 (all workshops and parties/socials Friday till Sunday) WORKSHOP PASS: €80 (all workshops on Saturday and Sunday) PARTY PASS ROYALE: €75 (All parties, including Socials) PARTY PASS: €50 (Only night parties Friday till Sunday) SUNDAY PASS: €55 (all workshops and party/social on Sunday) PLEASE NOTE: Party tickets for the individual nights at the door will only be available if we have space left.

We don't want to burden you with dress codes for each and every night, so we won't! We do however want to make the Saturday party a night not to forget!! For this reason we chose a THEME, which does not only include a dress code but it includes a certain program.... THE SOUL TRAIN The idea is not only to dress in the '70's SOUL style, but we will actually have a real SOUL TRAIN where everyone who wants to join, will dance in pairs, while walking between two lines of dancers. Just check the Youtube video to get an idea! https://youtu.be/krL4fckBX8c?list=RDkrL4fckBX8c Get ready to boogie!
