SoliDArity Class Fee
One of the core values at Sunny Side Swing is to serve the community. We would not be here without the support we receive from our local community and therefore we do our best to also give back. Whenever you choose to pay a soliDArity class fee you are providing your support to the community by enabling us to provide these kinds of services on a consistent basis. We provide reduced-price or free entrance to lessons and workshops to people in special situations, whether it be students, people experiencing a difficult financial or personal situation in their lives, children, elderly, people with disabilities, or those important people who act as caretakers for special needs children and adults. We also have refugees here in our community who are both students as well as teachers. Your support has allowed us to offer discounts to teachers renting this studio so they can support themselves financially and build a new life here in the local region. We believe it is important that people try to engage in fun and fulfilling activities despite hardships and at Sunny Side Swing, we donate our time and money to help these people do that. We believe it can make the difference in helping them through a difficult situation, or difficult moment in their lives. We are continuously investing in additional course options as well as in the lives and well-being of our participants. Your financial support enables us do that and we thank you for helping to pay it forward and for allowing us to do this not just today but to be a place people can count on for years to come.

Questions?
Why is this event happening the way it does?
For me it is important to invite artists that are representing values and groups that may still not ne the norm in Germany, like Black and people of color, women, non-binary people and up and coming personalities. I pay regular fees and try broaden knowledge by showcasing also other danceforms than Lindy Hop that are connected to the continuum and relate to the Black-American dance tradition.
Why is there no band? The number of participants create an ammount of income that "only" allows to pay teachers fees, rent for venues, Gema, Flights/train tickets, Food, Accomodation/hotels, posters/flyers, decoration, snacks etc.
As I have to pay taxes and all according costs as a professional I descided to not hire a band this year.
