The festival will take place in beautiful, close-to-nature surroundings at Kisakeskus sports institute. Kisakeskus is located a few kilometers outside of Raasepori (part of this is known as Karjaa until the end of 2008), a small town about 100 kilometers from Helsinki. It is easy and cheap to reach by train, bus or car.

Dancing spaces
In the mornings, we will work at the gym hall which can be divided into three sections. It has a nice wooden floor and wooden walls (see below).
These spaces are for classes.
For jams, there is a different space. It’s a bit smaller studio which has a very nice mixture of wood and metal.
Next to the jam space, there is room for “after ski”, evening snacks and so on.
Place to eat
The dining room (see below) is in the same building as the jam space. Food is served by the Kisakeskus catering personnel.
Sleeping spaces
In the next picture, you see the jam space (first to left) and, one of the buildings that will be used for sleeping. All three buildings used for sleeping have rooms for 2-6 persons. So, around 20 people can stay in one building.
The building below can also take around 20 people and is located next to the two other sleeping buildings and the big gym hall. So, everything and everyone is located very close to each other.
This year the cabins were handed out first come first serve basis. If you didn’t get one, don’t worry We don’t have much time to hang out in cabins are rooms anyway. The cabins are located close (about 300 meters) to all the other buildings. They are on the top of a hill and most of them offer a beautiful view to the lake.
Sauna
There will be a hot Finnish Sauna three evenings during the week. Sauna is near, by the frozen lake. There will be an area kept free from ice, so if you wish, you can take a nice refreshing dip in cold water.
