  • Pass the Bounce 2026 is being held in Barry, South Wales (25 minutes from Cardiff).

    The entire festival is being held at Ysgol Bro Morganng, Colcot Road, Barry, CF62 8YU.

  • Tickets for Pass the Bounce 2026 go on sale Wednesday 12th August at 6pm UK time.

    Social tickets will be released in September 2026

  • Level descriptions are different at every festival so read our track descriptions with an open, reflective mind. You could also chat to your peers/local teachers if you’re not sure or feel free to drop us a message.

    Don’t forget, we’re all at different stages of our dancing journey and this is about you finding the right environment for you, to support your learning where you are right now as well as create a cohesive group of dancers learning together in the class.

  • When you sign up for Pass the Bounce, the only thing you need to sign up for is your levelled track.

    During the weekender, you can choose which open level classes you want to attend based on what inspires you. The schedule of specific classes will be made available closer to the festival.

  • While our workshops are aimed at dancers who have been dancing at least a year or more, brand new Lindy Hoppers are welcome to come and party at Pass the Bounce. Grab a social ticket and we’ll see you on the dancefloor!

  • No! Everyone is welcome to sign up on their own to attend Pass the Bounce.

    You can choose to sign up with a partner but you must BOTH be registering for the same track. If you are signing up for different tracks, you’ll need to sign up separately.

    Waitlists will be in operation as required to help keep workshops balanced - if you’re added to a waitlist, you’ll be notified when a spot becomes available.

  • Absolutely! There are two options available:

    a) Volunteering (Register for Volunteering here)

    b) Access to Dance

    A number of Access to Dance Passes are available for Pass the Bounce, providing discounted tickets to those who are experience financial difficulty. You don’t need to provide any information or explanation - it’s simply our way of saying, we’ve got you.

    When registering for Pass the Bounce, please request ACCESS TO DANCE and you’ll be added to a waitlist for tickets under this scheme.

    For every 20 tickets we sell, an Access to Dance Pass becomes available (£100 ticket).

    We will also be donating 2 x Full Passes and 2 x Party Passes via the Black Lindy Hoppers Fund. Please contact BLHF for more details.

  • If you are travelling solo and looking for hosting, you can register your interest on your sign up form. We will do our best to put you in touch with a local host but this is not guaranteed.

    Festivals are even more fun with friends though, so why not get a group of dancing pals together and share an Airbnb together?

  • Party Passes will go on sale September 2026. Closer to the date, if there are any tickets remaining, we may release single night tickets.

  • There are lots of reasons why you may not be able to attend a full festival weekender - and that’s why we’re offering our Shared Pass.

    The ‘Shared Pass’ is designed for two people sharing the same ticket - it’s ideal for parents, carers or those managing health conditions that might limit their ability to attend a full weekend.

    Please note that only one person from the pair can attend the festival at any given time (you can always add on a social pass if you both want to attend socials).

  • We’d recommend booking accommodation in Barry, the town where the festival is being held. Barry is a small town in South Wales, with excellent train links and easily accessed from the M4 motorway. Alternatively, surrounding spots like Penarth, Sully, Rhoose or Dinas Powys may provide further options.

    Check out out STAYING HERE page for a list of accommodation suggestions in the nearby area.

  • Short answer: There are none.

    Long answer: We’re not a fan of early bird tickets - not everyone has the financial flexibility to be able to sign up immediately (or frankly, the time to be waiting for ticket release). Plus we don’t want to punish you for not finding out about our festival sooner. We’d much rather try to offer a more affordable price for EVERYONE.

  • Yes please! Putting on a festival takes a village and we’d love to have you as part of our volunteering team.

    We are just finalising volunteering forms so check back here to register your interest in volunteering for the festival. In exchange, you get to be part of a supportive, friendly team of dancers who want to create something special for our community, plus you’ll get discounts off your ticket (number of hours will determine your discount).

  • We’re so excited you want to join us at Pass the Bounce. Get in touch at info@passthebounce.com if you’d like to discuss how we can best meet your needs.
