Sharing our passion for Social Dancing is key

Our mission is to be your perfect hosts making sure you feel like home while following your unstoppable passion for learning and social dancing. We choose intentionally the last days of the year and the first days of the New Year, as we know that many of us are looking for an opportunity to spend those last days with friends to conclude a year of adventures and challenges while learning and practicing as much as you can. And we invite you to add to those days the perfect highlight by passing into the New Year 2023 with many of your friends.

If you are an experienced dancer dedicated to share your passion with other likeminded people and you are in love with Salsa and Social Dancing, then there is no better concept for you than the Marathon concept. You will have plenty of time you can use to make new friends, to network and share your passion and knowledge with others, time to chat and exchange your ideas. Starting already in the middle of the day with non-stop learning and practicing until late evening this concept caters for the real passionate Salsa addicts. With a strictly limited number of attendees making sure that the gender ratio is balanced and the dancing level is high, this concept creates a family-like atmosphere. And coming together for brunch and dinner surely promotes a feeling of being together with friends.

Your home for the first three days of up to 5 days will be once again the Studio "El Abrazo" in Hamburg Altona. As a dance studio it disposes over a perfect dance floor, 2 studios to be used, great sound system and well located, we couldn't think of a better place to meet our family. For the second part (check the detailled schedule below) we will move to the dance Studio "Billies" which is located a merely 100m from the "El Abrazo". The number of attendees will be limited to 150 people and we will choose the perfect blend of dancers from all over Europe to share their passion with you. We will bring you 6 of the best DJ's in our community to offer you the best and most danceable music when dancing and living your passion, to cater for your needs. And the most important part - you will be able to meet your friends in those last days of 2022, chatting and laughing with them, practicing your social dancing with your partner and learning new techniques.

The NYE Edition Marathon Pass costs 190€ (180€ the couple pass) and includes 4 days and 4 nights of social dancing practice from December 28 at 9:00 PM - January 1 at 8:00 PM.

We will make sure that the gender ratio is balanced, that there is a great level of dancing, that there is always enough space for the social dancing practice and that as many countries as possible are represented. Now it is time to get your ticket for a weekend of fun!
