5. Free cloakroom and lockers for bags at Paradiso
At Paradiso, it is required to use the cloakroom or lockers for your bag(s). Both are free of charge for your convenience – if we keep the bags out of the way, there is more space to dance!
Due to limited storage space, we are unable to accept items larger than hand luggage (maximum 55 x 35 x 25 cm).

6. Open call of Saïdo Lehlouh’s show Apaches
Want to participate in a hiphop performance? You can! Saïdo Lehlouh and Summer Dance Forever invite everyone to come dance along during the rehearsal of their show Apaches. Together with you and 40 dancers, Lehlouh wants to create a charged atmosphere, almost electric. Come and join the tribe!
Apaches is part of the Uitmarkt program on Saturday 24 August at Museumplein, their show starts at 5pm – open call is at 1pm. Participants should have a little bit of dance experience.
