Value that remains open to everyone
Dancing should not depend on income.
That is why €50 is our inclusive access contribution to the club – not the price of what we create together every Sunday.
No additional donation is required. A donation does not change your training or participation options.

Five coordinated dance sessions in one day
You can build shared foundations, train three dance styles and then practise what you learned at your own pace.
- Shared basics & skills 30 minutes
- Salsa 60 minutes
- Bachata 60 minutes
- Kizomba 60 minutes
- Shared practice evening about 2 hours
Up to 3.5 hours of guided training plus around 2 hours of practice on a full Sunday.
Access and value
€50 opens the door. The value behind it is in the thousands.
Our contribution is not low because the programme has little value. It is low so that everyone can take part regardless of income.
Your required access contribution
€50
€4.17 per month over twelve months
Salsa, bachata, kizomba, skills training and the practice evening are included. A donation does not affect access to training.

A purely mathematical price comparison with published regional offers, based on the available time volume.
Mathematical ratio
2–4%
only in this complete maximum model
The low contribution is made possible primarily by volunteer training, organisation and club work. Donations fund actual club expenses.
Maximum model for a complete future operating year with up to 50 offered training Sundays: up to 175 hours of guided training and around 100 hours of practice. Actual availability depends on the published calendar, personal level and attendance. Membership still ends on 31 December when joining later.
The comparison relates exclusively to the mathematically available time volume. Teaching concepts, trainer structures, venues, levels, replacement options, holiday rules and additional services differ. It does not equate the offers or their quality.
Voluntary solidarity
Every amount is voluntary.
Those with more financial room can support the inclusive club model particularly strongly. The amounts are non-binding examples, never an expectation.

Donation receipt & trust

For our non-profit work
Your support helps fund actual club expenses and preserve inclusive access over the long term.
Simplified tax examples
What could this mean for your tax?
In Germany, donations may be claimed as special expenses. The higher your personal marginal tax rate, the greater the potential relief from the same donation.
| Donation | approx. at 30% | approx. at 42% |
|---|---|---|
| €350 | €105 | €147 |
| €500 | €150 | €210 |
| €900 | €270 | €378 |
Example: at a 42% marginal tax rate, a €500 donation could result in around €210 less German income tax.
Simplified guidance, not tax advice or a guaranteed refund. A donation is not reimbursed one-for-one by the tax authority. Your individual tax return, marginal rate and statutory deduction limits determine the actual effect.
Official legal basis: Section 10b EStG Section 50 EStDV
What donations make possible
Volunteering creates the value. Donations fund actual club expenses.
The required contribution is deliberately kept low. Voluntary donations help cover costs that the club actually incurs.
Training & events
Venue and event costs and other expenses where they actually arise for offered sessions.
Sound club operations
Insurance, association and administrative costs and the proper organisation of the club.
Quality & reliability
Technology, teaching materials, education and training, and reasonable operating reserves where approved.
The commercial comparison range is not the club's funding requirement. It illustrates the mathematical value of the scope made possible by volunteers. We will publish specific costs or fundraising targets only when documented annual figures are available.
Two paths, the same impact
You can help as a member or simply as a supporter.
Would you like to dance with us?
Become a member for €50 per calendar year. Whether you also donate is a separate decision that remains voluntary at all times.
You do not want to become a member?
A voluntary donation without becoming a member also helps keep access to dance open over the long term.
Keeping everything clearly separate
Membership contribution and donation are two different payments.
The membership contribution secures your membership. A voluntary donation is additional, without anything in return and uses a separate payment reference.
-
Membership contribution separately
Payment reference: Membership contribution 2026 – Name
-
Voluntary donation separately
Payment reference: Voluntary donation 2026 – without receiving any benefit in return – Name

Transfer directly to the club account
The public donation account is equally available to members and external supporters.
We issue a formal donation receipt for donations over €300 and, on request, for smaller amounts as well. We need your full name and address. The required membership contribution remains separate and is not a donation.
How the comparison range is calculated
The range combines a conservative package comparison for three weekly classes with publicly listed regional block-course prices.
- Lower bound: Dance Cube lists three weekly classes from €110 per month. That equals at least €1,320 over twelve months.
- Hourly comparison: €89 for seven hours gives about €2,225 for 175 hours. €115 for eight hours gives about €2,516 for 175 hours.
- No additional commercial teaching value is assigned to the practice evening.
- Dance Cube: Adult L package with three weekly classes
- SalsaSamstag Bamberg: publicly listed block courses
- Tanzstudio Bamberg: publicly listed course and monthly prices
The comparison describes only the mathematically available time volume and published prices. Teaching concepts, trainer structures, venues, levels, replacement options, holiday rules and additional services differ. It does not equate concepts, quality or other services.
Prices in the linked sources checked in July 2026. Providers may change prices and services at any time. StyleStep reviews and documents these prices regularly.
Keep it open together
You pay €50. You receive space to learn, dance and belong.
If you can carry more, your voluntary donation keeps this same access open for others.
