The Bottoms Up! Party

Swingin’ X-tras

Nico Klöffer (double bass) has been playing with Hannes Gajowski (guitar) for several years for Lindy Hoppers in Saarbrücken and Bonn. This year, they performed with the Swingin’ X-tras at Hop into Summer in Cologne and are now coming to La Pista for the first time. Vincent Pinn (trumpet) from Essen/Düsseldorf, Carlotta Armbruster (trombone) from Cologne and Micha Jesske (drums) from Cologne/Mannheim complete the quintet for this evening.

The Swingin’ X-tras will be playing a personal selection of their favourite dance tunes from the swing era, as well as a few specials.

DJ Marion

Marion started Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz in 2009 and teaches in Cologne since 2012. She has been running a Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz project at her school for many years, sparking enthusiasm for dance in children and young people. Passionately committed to her personal development as a dancer and teacher, Marion travels regularly, both nationally and internationally, to attend courses in Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and Tap and to explore related dance styles.

We are delighted to be dancing to Marion's music at the Bottoms Up! party!

*Prices

You can pay the festival fee by bank transfer to the account specified in the email. After you get the confirmation email, you'll be required to pay the full ticket price within five weekdays. Keep in mind that there are three different prices:

  • You are welcome to claim the reduced solidarity price if, for instance, you are a student/a trainee/retired/temporarily unemployed or if you have a disability. (Proof of eligibility must be provided in order to qualify for the discounted price.) The above are merely examples and the list is not meant to be exclusive: If you believe that you are eligible for the discounted price for other reasons (not listed here) or if you are unable to afford the solidarity price, please contact us. We will definitely try to work something out.

  • You are welcome to pay the supporter price if you would like to help others who are currently unable to afford the full price to attend the festival. The amount exceeding the regular price will be donated to a support fund, which we will use to fund the attendance of people who would otherwise not be able to afford the festival.

  • All prices include 19% VAT.
