Upside Down

Upside Down Formerly: LouisLou. Innovative concepts, events & expertise. And we

Op het menu van Upside Down staan events, workshops, team buildings en feesten. Zowel in eigen beheer als voor jouw gelegenheid. Dans, muziek en spektakel serveren we op een bedje van verbinding, en kruiden we royaal af met magie. Een Upside Down ervaring beweegt mee op het ritme van jouw noden. Geen mikmak van losse concepten, maar een doordachte en unieke totaalbelevenis waar je ondersteboven va

n bent. First we make you move, then we make you think. Als sociale beweging daagt Upside Down je op een speelse manier uit om deel te nemen. We zijn te gast in de Afrikaans-Amerikaanse muziek- en danscultuur. Alles wat we doen wordt gevoed door jazz en swing. Dat betekent: expressie, co-creatie en gemeenschapsgevoel. Dankzij 10 jaar hands-on ervaring en een omvangrijke gereedschapskoffer bouwt Upside Down mee aan een inclusieve(re) community met respect voor de planeet. Ons mentaal materiaal lenen we uit tijdens workshops en sprekerssessies. https://upside-down.be/

world shapers. On the Upside Down menu you can finds events, workshops, team buildings and parties. We swing along on the rhythm of your needs. Dance, music and spectacle are served with a fine sauce of connection, and royally topped off with magic. We swing along on the rhythm of your needs and wishes (and are not afraid to add a variation or two). Your event is not a mishmash of loose ideas, but a sophisticated total concept that turns you topsy-turvy. Upside Down is a social movement and challenges you to participate. We are guests in the African-American music and dance culture. Everything we do is rooted in jazz and swing. That means: expression, co-creation and a sense of community. With 10 years of hands-on experience and an extensive toolkit, Upside Down builds towards a more inclusive community with respect for the planet. We share our insights during workshops and talks.

Looking for adults to support the Gentse Swing Kids this summer! This project is so close to our heart. Organizer & facilitator Sep shares why 💬

From 6 - 10 July, it's Summer Shake 🪇, a sport & dance camp for local young folks from all backgrounds. Together with Sportaround vzw, we make movement & fun accessible to young dancers.

Because Jazz is for all (generations)🙌, we ask the Ghent community to support this kids-focussed dance initiative.
🪇 Wanna dance along? Welcome as a facilitator for 1 or more days! No skills needed, you will receive training. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/qwwauAkvQ6PHQ9dR9

🪇Wanna give financially vulnerable kids access to the camp? All gifts to the crowdfunding campaign will be doubled! Thank you!

🧡 Thank you for supporting the Social & Sustainability Fund!
We appreciate your contributions, discount requests and trust in this approach.

https://www.bigcityblues.be/social-sustainability-fund/

Thank you for being generous during Big City Blues 2026! 🙏

Our Social & Sustainability Fund collected €2605 in total:
💙 All participants contributed €5, included in their ticket
💙 51 participants added another €15, €25, €45 or €90 – thank you!
💙 Upside Down topped the fund with €500 out of pocket

How was this money used?

We were able to welcome 24 participants at a discounted rate, for a total of €2284:
🧡 dancers in a vulnerable socio-economic situation or with a disadvantageous GDP could select the 25% or 50% discount rate on the sliding scale
🧡 Ghent locals with UiTPAS social tariff could request 80% discount
🧡 3 dancers were given free access through the community leader call and the Black Lindy Hoppers Fund

We donated the remaining €321 to projects in line with our values:
🧡 BOS+, for their reforestation project Treecological
🧡 Gentse Swing Kids, our summer dance camp for kids. This money will go towards access for kids and youngsters in vulnerable financial situations. The crowdfunding is still running, if you want to support (again).

We appreciate all of you for contributing to & benefitting from the Fund!
