What Dancers Say

"Overall it was sooooo wonderful!!! Great dancers, I loved the music, beautiful space with a good floor, delicious food (and as someone with dietary restrictions, I especially appreciated that I still had plenty of different things to eat), lovely to get to know folks over meals, well organized, and I really enjoyed the Christmas market walking tour as well. Thanks so much for all the hard work to make it happen!"

Christmas Prague Zouk Mass

"I enjoyed the live music so much! The way Sasha framed his sets, with intentions and meaning, really made me connect and enjoy the dancing even more. It felt that there was a purpose behind the music, we could see the effort and the drive that was moving the making of it. That clearly shows the DJ is engaged and not just playing songs that match with each other. On another note, all the thoughtful little details make this event so personal and intimate. From the bracelet with the unique message to the electrolyte water (and the note on not having too much of it) clearly states that this event is made for the participants. The food was amazing, with many options. I can't recommend this enough."

Prague Zouk Marathon

"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."

Prague Salsa Marathon

"This marathon was the very best festival, I´ve ever been. Starting with this incredible love in each detail, from the decoration, to the beanbags for resting and relaxing in your dancebreak, to the peppermints on every table and the refreshing stuff in the toilets. I love this very unique concept of "all inclusive". Because usually on festivals you need big breaks for finding restaurants and having meals there. Often people eat chep fastfood, just to "have something". And many people forget drinking, because it´s too expensive. But in this case the "food around the clock" (including water, tea and coffe) was incredible! Each meal consisted of a varied, nutritious buffet with options for every taste - including cakes and fresh fruit and vegetables. The options for gluten-free and vegan diets were just as varied and everything was very tasty. The organiser Zdenek & his Prague Kizz team were incredibly attentive and caring, as was the catering team in a gorgeous venue that couldn't have been better suited. The DJs were great and played wonderful music - some of it really uniquely grandiose. And finally the dancers - never before have I experienced so many attentive and loving dancers at a festival. Everyone danced with everyone else and no-one thought they were ‘better’ than anyone else - even though everyone had a high standard of dancing. During this weekend it really felt like one big, cosy family. I am happy to recommend this festival to true dance lovers who appreciate this special and truly unique combination and I am already looking forward to the next meeting with the Prague Kizz family!"

Romantic Grotta

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