The festival also features a Bachata French Cup Jack & Jill qualifier with Amateur and Pro categories, along with a Street Bachata Battle.

Full Passes cost €110 and include regular workshops, while masterclasses and bootcamps require additional admission.

For dancers looking to extend the festival experience, the €140 Full Pass and boat package includes XLBoat, a sunset party on Lac du Bourget. Existing Full Pass holders can purchase the boat party separately for €50, with limited capacity.
