The meeting point is De Expeditie, Dok-Noord 4F in Ghent. There you will receive a warm welcome every morning, can you start your day with a coffee at the festival bar and find out which dance class your workshop will take place in.

Dok-Noord can be reached via public transport using the following methods, among others:

• bus P4 and 5 or bus 55 to ‘Gent Tolpoort’ (Tolhuislaan), 5 minute walk away.
• by tram: tram 4 in Sint-Salvatorstraat is currently interrupted, you can only count on buses.
• by train:
  • it’s a 15 minute walk away from Gent-Dampoort station.
  • from station Gent-Sint-Pieters take:
    • Bus P4 towards Fratersplein until ‘ Gent Tolpoort’, which is a 5 minute walk away.

There is plenty of space around De Expeditie to park your bike.

You can also rent a bike through Blue Bikes (NMBS), Donkey Republic (app), Dott (app) and the bicycle embassy at Gent-Dampoort Station. More information can be found at www.outofthetoolbox.be.

By car: via Dampoort or the R4 and Kennedylaan. There is paid parking in the underground car park. You can also park in Koopvaardijlaan across the water (3,5 euros per day), from where you can walk to Dok Noord across the pedestrian bridge. There is parking available around Dok Noord, but only for five hours.

To improve air quality, Ghent’s inner city (the area within the ring road R40) is a low-emission zone. Only vehicles that meet the conditions for admission are allowed into this zone. Do you want to know whether your car can enter the LEZ? Fill in the test on www.lez2020.gent.

Accessibility

At Out of the Toolbox, we welcome all bodies!

• The chosen teachers are used to working with dancers of different ages and with varying levels and bodies. Their approach ensures that this diversity enriches all participants.
• The festival is wheelchair accessible (wide doors, no thresholds, no stairs, toilet for wheelchair users). However, it is best to contact us in advance at outofthetoolbox@danspunt.be so we can adjust studio arrangements if necessary.
• If you have additional questions (about physical accessibility, content of specific workshops, allergies, pumping space,…) or need extra support, please do not hesitate to contact us via outofthetoolbox@danspunt.be. Together we’ll see how we can offer you the best experience.
