The venue's address is : 7 Rue de Holtzheim, 67204 Achenheim
We will also have access to a second room so that we can offer several courses or workshops in parallel.
Hotel
If you're looking for accommodation to take part in the Pretzel Swing, you can find a room at the Holtzheim B&B.
How to get to the event ?
To ensure that as many people as possible can come to the Bretzel Swing, we've planned all the options for you.
If you're coming by car, there's plenty of free parking on site.
If you arrive by train at Strasbourg station or via the Lufthansa connecting bus (code XER), you can take a regional train to the Entzheim Airport stop, then take our shuttle bus.
Finally, if you arrive at Entzheim airport, you can use the footbridge to get to the Entzheim Airport stop and take our shuttle bus.
We ask for a contribution of €10 per person for the weekend to help cover the cost of the shuttle. You can reserve your shuttle pass by selecting the “Shuttle” option via the link below.
Jack'n'Jills (not WSDC)
All full pass holders will be able to take part in our Jack'n'Jill competitions (non WSDC) and try their luck at winning prizes. What's more, every winning couple from our divisions will have the opportunity to take part in the Pro-Winners JnJ, held on Saturday to dance with our professionals.
With three divisions, we've sought to be as fair as possible and offer the best experience for everyone. If you've never competed before, now is the perfect time to get started.
To facilitate the organization of the competition and reduce your participation costs, you can pre-register. You may register for one division per role. If you wish to participate in two divisions, you must pre-register twice, once for each role.
You will have until Saturday September 5, 1:30 pm, to pick up your Bib number.
Intensif Switch
Hélène and Raphaël are part of the SwitchXperience team. We're lucky to have them on board, and would like to organize an intensive Switch workshop on Friday, from 8 to 9.30pm, so that they can share their knowledge with you.
The only prerequisite is mastery of the basic passes in both roles (left side, push, sugar tuck and underarm).
This intensive workshop is independent of the usual passes, so you can register even if you don't have one. Just follow the link below and select the “Switch Intensive” option.
Les foodtrucks
We will be lucky to have
- Saturday evenings at Cigoflam’s with different types of tartes flambées.
- On Sunday evenings, Nouilles Oi serves its specialty: Bo Bun.

Bring your eco cup or your bottle
You're going to dance a lot, so we're providing free access to water at the event. Don't forget your eco-cup or bottle to drink from, as we won't be providing cups to make a gesture for the planet.

Les intensifs
We offer 2 2-hour intensives: blues dancing and styling. You're bound to find what you're looking for in one of our two intensives, but there's no need to choose - you can take part in both for one low price! The 2 intensives will be 100% in English.
