DJ Jyluk

France

Jean-Luc (DJ Jyluk) is one of the new DJs of the Paris salsa scene. He fell into latin music in 1998 and started dancing in 2011.

This love for latin music grew quickly into a passion and after more than 10 years of social dancing, he started his journey as a DJ. Resident at O'Sullivans since 2022, he is particularly fond of salsa dura, cha cha, amazing piano and great voices.

With a touch of son, romantica, latin jazz. Latin music is too rich to stick to one style. Sonora Poncena, Hector Lavoe, Cheo Feliciano are amongst his favorites.

DJ Anael

France

DJ Anael is a salsa sounds lover since more than 10 years and records collector since 2011.

In 2006, he discovered salsa, started dancing and collecting music by purchasing CDs and then Vinyl records. As a kid he received music and piano lessons, and this background gave him great listening skills, needed to discover gems songs to please the ears of dancers. Travelling to many congresses every year as a dancer, he aims to bring the same musical experience to the local salsa scene.

He started to play music for the crowds in 2012 as guest DJ, and quickly grew as the main Mambo DJ on the french riviera (Nice / Monaco). Since then, he collaborates on a regular basis with Marion Pontal (Ramark Dance Company) for events, and is invited to play in many local and french festivals (Monaco Salsa Congress / Pink Tolosa / Sund'Aix Salsa Festival / On2 is Nice / St Tropez Salsa Festival ... ). Since 2017 he runs Mambo Day afternoon socials, one sunday per month in St-Raphael.

DJ Koki

United States

DJ Koki Lizonde is a product of the beautiful and culture enriched city of Lima, Peru. Being exposed to the purest roots of culture he began dancing at the age of 5. As his love for dance expanded into a natural progression into the art of music. Live Latin Music was the fuel for this passion with local bands and concerts were the fueling station.

In search of continuous growth, in 2007 DJ Koki moved to Orlando, Florida which brought him to another humble beginning at the Universal Mambo Dance Academy. At UMDA, he would dance and provide the tunes that would keep the students inspired.

The next art form which grew in DJ Koki’s life, was the art of moving a crowd through music, for which he became a student to the craft of DJ’ing. With a strong back ground and connection to Latin Dance, his passion can be felt at many of the venues of which he currently DJs and also hosts with his event "The Hundred Social" with his business Partner Jorge Pan Sobao. The sound waves provided by DJ Koki can be felt strongly across the whole state of Florida, Nationally and internationally in Socials, Clubs, Cruises, Festivals and congresses.

DJ Morena

She grew up in a dancing family, starting with ballroom and experimented ever since with different styles and music, spending countless hours on the parquet and in front of the mirror.

Almost 7 years ago she started as a Djane at local parties until she was given a chance to play abroad and slowly became more and more internationally recognized salsa Djane.

  • "This has been one of my most favorite salsa event if not the most. First of all, the venue with nice dance floor makes it possible for us to dance for hours. The food is always plenty and deliciuos, and there always seems to be plenty of snacks to keep us going. It has the great astosphere, which reflects the personalities of the organizing team. This event should serve as a model for other marathons."

  • "Overall vibes and organization. ✨ Beautiful weekend to turn off, relax, dance, eat and socialize. I always meet with beautiful souls and lovely people there. It is not just about the dance itself, but also the precious connections. 💕 This year was made even more special by the Secret Angel game and beautiful festival bracelets. ✨ All the DJs were amazing. DJ Happy Feet never disappoints. DJ Alejandro and DJ Manuel Citro played some really amazing songs. 🎶"

  • "As always, the marathon was absolutely incredible. You can tell attention is paid to the slightest detail in order for everything to be perfect at all times. I have been to other marathons but none of them scores nearly as high as this one. The venue has everything: perfect dance floor, tables and chairs for the meals, plenty of very tasty and varied food made onsite, a good sound system playing music at a level that allows you to dance comfortably and also talk and socialise, etc. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the choice of music is generally exquisite and the crowd is incredibly friendly, yet it has a higher average dancing level than I have seen in any other event. For me it is just paradise!"

  • "I always feel so welcome here! The atmosphere is amazing and people are all very open to meet and dance with new people. It‘s great that there‘s the eating area where you can just spend time to talk (sometimes I don‘t like talking at parties because the music is too loud and there‘s no place to sit down and relax). The big cushions are amazing for a rest as well. The DJs are the best and dance level is very good. The food is great, too."

  • "This event is very special. What I like about the Prague marathons compared to others is the amazing combination of passionate dancers dancing to music played by passionate, experienced DJ's in a very quaint and comfortable venue, serving up very tasty buffet style meals and loads of snacks in between. I love how the snacks and meals are integrated completely with dancing area. The dancing is seemingly non-stop, starting from noon lunch/brunch until 6 AM in the morning. And perhaps the best is the general atmosphere of being relaxed and unpretentious, attended by friendly passionate dancers. Why I would recomend this event to my friends? Because it is a great way to dance a lot to really good music, to chill out with friends, and to get to know passionate salsa people much more closely than would be possible at larger, more formal salsa events."

  • "Just such an incredible experience, I’ve danced for over 20 years and this was the best salsa event I’ve ever been to. All of the little details, in combination with the music, the venue, and the incredible variety of dancers. Just magical, I can’t thank you enough, just sorry I didn’t make it sooner"

  • "The marathon is the best part of my year and my all-time favorite event. It's like coming home and I can't wait to see my friends and make new ones. The whole experience is so exciting and I can't wait to be a part of it. Thank you Zdeněk for making this happen and creating this beautiful event!"

Romantic Grotta

Havlíčkovy Sady, 12000 Prague 2, Czechia

The Grotta is the main attraction of the Havlicek Gardens and looks like a fairytale with its peculiar rock formations. The artificial cave looks unusual on the building and features the arcade promenade which is quite unique in Prague. The Grotta dates back to 1871 to 1888 when it was intricately built by Moritz Grobe, a millionaire. After renovation in 2011, the cave was opened for public.
