Event details

2026 edition

•This is the event I am looking forward to coming back. I just felt the effort from organizers in creating a friendly event. ^•^ There was zero to hero track, as a good start to event for new people with attractive Castles venue for the preparty! •Event hotel was well connected to the city center. •The floor could have been more slidy but there was always some powder around to find. •Staff and workshops were good. 5 min with pros was very nice addition. •I liked the T-shirt offer this year, I bought 2 :D •Plenty of time for actual social dancing, they didn't bother much with pro shows and comps, I liked that 😅 (could have left even the switch JnJ outside 🙈) •They provided passes even for newcomers winners, which was sooo nice 🤍🐾 •Personally I prefer more cheerful MCs with ability to lift the energy and who are fun, this one was just ok and informative, but I'm really going into details now with review. Overall I will come back! I like ppl in Ljubljana community. <3

2026 edition

Really enjoyed the event and my time in Slovenia — the nature (and Ljubljana) is absolutely stunning. The event was very well organized, the hotel was great, and the schedule felt super convenient. Socials were sometimes a bit crowded and warm, but overall totally fine.

2026 edition

While we had a decently nice time, it just seemed lacking. Music was very hit or miss and kind of all over the place, everyone was dying from heat stroke the first night (thankfully they did get it fixed). The floor was then of course also super sticky… they had talc powder but it’s true I was worried for my knees! Also people dance SO many times in a row together it was super difficult as a foreigner to get into the floor (especially as a follower). By the time I realized the person I was wanting to ask was going to do yet ANOTHER dance with their partner, every other leader was already taken on the floor (and I’m not one to chase a leader whose going off the floor to finally be able to get a drink). I loved the idea of having a switch J&J, but it’s a bit unfair for the lower level dancers. pretty much only advanced/all stars in the finals of course. Would be nice to maybe have two levels like we do for strictly? It was nice but expensive. Ljubljana is one of my favorite cities so I still greatly enjoyed myself… but the event left me wanting more. There was nothing really special about it.

Friday the balance lead/follow felt a bit off. The other socials were great. Overall great event

2026 edition

Nice event at a hotel in a great city. Nice details, great blues intensive. Floor somewhat sticky. Food options in direct proximity of the hotel limited. Bus stop directly in front of the hotel.
