The Queer Swing Dance Exchange Zurich is a non-profit, community-based project. Our entire team works on a voluntary basis – but with full heart and commitment. To cover the costs for bands, artist fees, venues, and equipment, we offer three different passes – all with the same full weekend access: Three evening events with live music, performances, and DJs, plus access to all daytime activities (workshops, talks, city tours, etc. – see program). We also offer payment plans — just reach out to us. We trust your self-assessment and deeply appreciate all forms of support. Registration is individual — you don't need a partner to sign up.
Possibilities to join only single parts of the weekend are listed further below.
210 CHF
For those who can and want to give a little more, helping us make this event fair and accessible to everyone. Your contribution supports fair artist fees, broader participation, and brings extra sparkle to the weekend. Thank you.
180 CHF
The standard pass for a full weekend of dancing, connection, culture, and queer joy. A fair price for a complete and diverse program.
150 CHF
For anyone for whom the full price is currently not feasible. You are just as welcome – dancing should never be a luxury.
If even the Solidarity Pass is beyond your means, feel free to email us at info@queerswingzurich.com – we will find a solution together.
We are very happy if you can help us with our schedule planning – so during registration, we'll ask what activities you're interested in: Workshops, talks, city tours, performances… Your input helps us a lot to adjust our offers to your liking and provide enough space. It's not binding, and you'll be able to change your mind later.
For the "Drag Up for Pride" Workshop on Saturday morning, there is no extra fee, but spots are limited, so sign up quickly! If you are selected, we will notify you. Should you have changed your mind in the meantime, let us know, so we can give the spot to someone new.
The Drag Brunch on Sunday morning is bookable as a pass option (CHF 49 combined with any other pass, or CHF 65 on its own). You add it directly when you register.

Would you like to try out the partner dance Lindy Hop with queer people? As part of the first Queer Swing Dance Exchange Zurich (QSXZ), we are organizing a free Lindy Hop Crash Course for queer people. We'll try out the steps and first figures together with you. You don't need any prior experience or a fixed dance partner, as we will rotate partners during the class. Due to limited space, we kindly ask you to register in advance.
CHF 49 combined with any other pass · CHF 65 on its own
Round off your QSXZ weekend with our Sunday Drag Brunch — hosted by drag queen Vio La Cornuta in the whimsical, colorful garden of Bar am Damm, with shows by Carmillo von xxx, Daiva Deeper, FeuKing, Justin Bellini Case and Moon of Eden. You'll find a vegetarian buffet with clearly labelled vegan options, filter coffee, and a voucher for a glass of prosecco or a mimosa to toast the weekend; any further drinks can be ordered at the bar. The brunch runs from 10:15 to 13:15, wrapping up before Bar am Damm opens to the public at 2 pm, but feel free to stay and enjoy the garden. In case of rain, the brunch will take place indoors.
Booking: Add the Drag Brunch when you choose your pass during registration. You can combine it with any pass at the reduced price, or book it on its own. Already registered? Send us an email — the add-on ticket is tied to your pass.
