Why Not T-Shirts

This year the Why Not T-Shirts are returning, and you can pre-order yours directly during the registration. The last date for pre-ordering is the 9th of September 2026.

There will be additional merch available for sale at the event, but the Why Not T-Shirts are limited to pre-order only.

WhatsApp Community for Self-Organising Accomodation

This year Roberta's Society (a hostel in central Aarhus) is offering a discount to all participants. In order to help people find roomates we have created a  WhatsApp community. After you have purchased a ticket you will receive a link to the WhatsApp community and after that it is up to you guys to self-organise and make some new friends!

If you live in Aarhus and have a spare couch and are open to sharing it with a new dance friend. Or if you are from outside of Aarhus and are happy to sleep on the spare couch of your newest dance friend - then you could also use this community to organise hosting.
