New at AISF 2026: All-Day Social Dancing! 

Big news for all you social dancers! AISF 2026 is stepping it up with daytime socials for those who love dancing from afternoon until late night.

On Saturday, February 21, and Sunday, February 22, join us for non-stop social dancing from 14:00 to 21:00 at The Pearl Ballroom, inside the Park Inn by Radisson at Sloterdijk Station — just a few minutes from our main venue, De Koning.

Expect a stunning venue, great DJs, and amazing vibes all afternoon!

Access to the daytime socials is included with the Full Pass or the brand-new Social Dance Pass, which gives you access to:

The daytime socials (Sat & Sun)
