How to get there
🚙 Car
The venue is conveniently located near the A10 ring road.
Parking is available in close proximity to the venue, but there aren't unlimited spots. It is free during weekends, and €2.80/h on Friday and Monday from 09:00 - 19:00. If you're staying at the hotel, you can also use their parking at €15,-. Those spots cannot be reserved beforehand, so you should arrange that at check-in. Please be aware that parking is at your own risk. We strongly advise against leaving anything (especially valuables) in your vehicle while parked in this area. Additionally, ensure that your car does not appear to contain anything valuable. Even a blanket or other covering inside can attract unwanted attention and may lead to break-ins, including damage to your car’s windows.
🚅 Public transport
From the Sloterdijk train station, it is about a 15-minute walk to the venue.
It is also possible to continue on with a bus or metro.
The bus stop is just 50 meters away, and the Isolatorweg metro station is a 300 meters walk.
Rooms
CanDance Studios has a big, sturdy wooden floor ready for our dino dance-offs. There are three separate rooms:
- The largest room will host our dancing parties, competitions, and workshops — plenty of space for even the biggest T-Rex to twirl.
- The smallest room is where you can get your food: refuel—snacks on Friday evening, breakfast and lunch all day, and dinner on Saturday evening.
- The middle room will have tables to eat the food you just picked up, and lots of space to chill, relax, and have a good chat with your fellow dancing dinos.
Accommodation
We’re all getting a bit older, and our dinosaur bones are not equipped anymore to sleep on a squeaky air mattress in a sleeping hall. Most of us prefer a proper bed and more hours of quality sleep now, so we have arranged a deal with the hotel across the street from the dancing hall. You can indicate your interest in this offer on the registration form. We can accommodate most, but not all participants here.
Package deal hotel
We have reserved rooms for you at the IBIS Amsterdam City West Hotel across the street from the venue, now including taxes but still at a lower rate than last year! We can accommodate most dinos here!
You can let us know via the registration form if you would like to make use of this offer. In this form, you can also let us know who you share your room with. Sleeping alone is also possible, but that will double the price. After the lottery, we'll create a room assignment plan and inform you who you'll be rooming with.
Prices
Those prices are based on shared rooms and are on top of the participation fee. We offer double (= one big bed), twin (= two single beds) and triple (= three single beds) rooms. Breakfast is not included, but you can have breakfast/brunch at the venue on Saturday and Sunday. You told us you would like us to negiotate a better price with the hotel compared to last year. So of course we did, and on top, the tourist tax is now included in the full price, so you don't have to pay anything to the hotel upon arrival. This should save you up to 50 euros compared to last year.
Package deal prices
For 2 nights (Friday - Sunday): 110 euro per person (including tax!)
For 3 nights (Friday - Monday): 150 euro per person (including tax!)
If you choose not to share your room, the prices are double
Please let us know your preference in the registration form:
- Twin, Double or Triple room
- You can also indicate one or two roommates in the subscription form, or you can let us pick a roommate for you
- Please ensure your roommate preference is mutual. Both of you must enter each other's names on the form.
- We will inform you after each lottery round whether you have been assigned a room, specifying the room type and your roommate(s).
