BachaKizz Sensation

Unfortunately, BachaKizz was very poorly organized.

The entrance situation was chaotic. There were far too few staff members at check in, and we had to wait between 30 and 45 minutes outside in the cold just to get our wristbands. It felt like only two people were being let in at a time, which made the process unnecessarily slow and frustrating.

Once inside, we were charged an additional €10 for the cloakroom, which already felt excessive. On the first evening, bags were not allowed at all, not even small ones. We were not even allowed to bring spare dance shoes unless we wore them on our feet. As a woman wearing a dress, I had no practical way to store the cloakroom ticket if I was not allowed a bag. Was I supposed to dance while holding the ticket in my hand? It was extremely inconvenient.

Every time I needed something from my bag, for example to get my wallet to buy a drink, I would have had to queue again at the cloakroom for around 20 minutes. The cloakroom staff were clearly overwhelmed. At one point I waited five minutes for a bag I had handed in ten minutes earlier, and in some cases they could not even find people’s belongings. It was chaotic.

On the second evening, bags were finally allowed, which shows the initial rule made little sense. I understand not allowing outside drinks, but charging €4 for a 0.4 liter bottle of water is simply overpriced.

Overall, the event was very poorly organized. The second Kizomba room also felt like it was at the other end of the city, forcing people to retrieve their belongings, go outside into the cold, change shoes, and walk over, which was highly impractical.

I would definitely not attend BachaKizz again.

Congratulations from me for the organization. Especially because not everything that was carefully planned could be implemented. For example, the planned Kizomba location in the middle of the luxury cars at Motorworld could not be realized due to an error on the part of the building management. Implementing the solution with the two smaller dance floors within a few days is respectable.
Other obstacles, such as a long line at the entrance, were no longer an issue after the first evening.
The DJ lineup created a great atmosphere, and I also loved the workshop concept (one top workshop per trainer with a little more time). Here, it might have been worth noting that on Saturday afternoon there was a strong focus on Tarraxo, instead of mixing it up a little better with other styles.
I liked the bar with its solid selection of drinks, and I thought the food on offer was good and fairly priced.
In fact, I can hardly remember ever finding a festival with such a lineup at such affordable prices.
If the problems with the location can be avoided, then I can wholeheartedly recommend attending next year.

Sehr chaotisch und schlecht organisiert am Freitagabend. Lange für Bändel und nachher für Gaderobeabgabe angestanden. Eine Kizombafläche Durchlauf für WC und Leute die nach Aussen gehen oder reinkamen😔nachher wieder Mega langes anstehen für Garderobe um wieder die Mäntel, Taschen und Schuhe zu bekommen. 2. Tanzfläche für Kizomba in einem 5‘ entfernten Raum war dafür am Samstag schön. Werde nicht mehr dort hingehen. Wie schon letzte Mal total hoher Frauenüberschuss 😢
