Question 1

When does the festival start and end?

Accepted Answer

The festival officially begins on Friday, June 5th, 2026, at 4 PM, and runs until Monday, June 8th, at 3 AM. A pre-party will take place on Thursday, June 4th, from 8 PM, at Tangoloft Berlin. Please note that the pre-party is not included in the Full Pass but can be added as an optional add-on during registration.

Question 2

Is it a hotel convention?

Accepted Answer

No - Cross Flow is not a hotel convention. The festival will take place at Junges Tanzhaus Berlin, a spacious and well-equipped dance venue located in the city.
Accommodation is not included in the passes, but we’re recommending nearby options directly on the website.

Question 3

How do I register?

Accepted Answer

Registration will open soon on our website. You’ll choose your main dance style (West Coast Swing, Brazilian Zouk, Argentine Tango, or Fusion/Other) and your level track based on your experience. If you register solo, you may be placed on a short waiting list to maintain a balanced leader–follower ratio. Couples receive priority in registration. All registrations are subject to availability in the chosen track and level.

Question 4

Do I need a partner to register or join workshops?

Accepted Answer

No partner is required to participate - we rotate partners during workshops and encourage social dancing. However, for registration purposes, if you sign up solo, you may be placed on a short waiting list to help us maintain a balanced leader–follower ratio. Solo registrations are confirmed in the order they’re received as matching partners sign up. Registering with a partner in the same dance style and level track, ensures priority in registration validation.

Question 5

Are there any group registration / discounts ?

Accepted Answer

We don’t offer group registration. This helps keep things smooth, fair, and balanced - so everyone has a great chance to dance and join the workshops they want.

Question 6

Can I join if I’m new to partner dancing?

Accepted Answer

The Ignite tracks are for dancers who are still building comfort with their main dance style. But you’ll need to know the fundamentals of the partner dance you are registering for - West Coast Swing or Brazilian Zouk - no prior experience in the other styles is required though.

Question 7

How are the levels organized?

Accepted Answer

There are four tracks: Ignite, Explore, Refine, and Move. Each track is designed for different levels of experience and goals - from deepening your basics to exploring advanced cross-dance integration. If you’re a West Coast Swing or Brazilian Zouk dancer, you can join the Ignite, Explore, or Refine tracks. If you’re an Argentine Tango dancer, only the Refine track is available. If you’re a Fusion dancer or rooted in another partner dance form not featured at the festival, the Move track is made for you.

Question 8

Will I dance with people from different dance styles than mine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some classes are designed to bring together dancers from different styles and levels - for example, West Coast Swing and Brazilian Zouk dancers exploring an Argentine Tango concept, or Cross Flow pre-party classes. Everyone will share a similar learning position, so you’ll grow together. Most of your learning hours, however, will be spent with peers from your own dance and level group - for example, during the featured dance classes and concept application sessions. At the parties, you’ll have full freedom: stay within your dance community or cross over and explore other styles in the different rooms.

Question 9

I’m a fusion dancer or concept lover - is there something for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can join our Mover track, which gives you access to all concept classes, the pre-party cross flow workshops, and all parties - including an experimental dance floor for exploration and creative movement.

Question 10

Do I need to know all the featured dance styles?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! For the Ignite, Explore, and Refine tracks, you only need experience in at least one of the dance styles featured at the festival. The event is designed to help you explore concepts from other dances and learn how to integrate them into your own.

Question 11

How do you make sure the event stays safe and respectful?

Accepted Answer

We follow a clear Code of Conduct emphasizing consent, personal boundaries, and respectful behavior. Our team is available at any time if you need support
