About the event
About Zagreb Salsa Marathon 2027
Come dance in the heart of Zagreb at the Zagreb Salsa Marathon 2027, a focused social weekend that blends long social sets, lively night parties and a sunlit open-air social in Zrinjevac Park. The event is staged across two confirmed venues: an indoor party space at WESPA Business & Lounge Bar and an open-air gazebo social at Zrinjevac, so you can enjoy both club-floor energy and park-side dancing. This edition emphasises social dancing and musical understanding rather than competitive displays. Confirmed programme elements include musicality workshops and a panel discussion led by Alexis Ruiz, a concentrated bootcamp titled “All About That Groove,” multiple afternoon socials and several night parties. The bootcamp is limited in size, creating a small-group learning environment, and the full pass covers night parties, day socials, special classes and the Alexis Ruiz panel. Dance styles and social atmosphere The event presents a spectrum of salsa-related social styles commonly heard at marathon gatherings, with programming that supports Cuban salsa and partnerwork exploration alongside broadly social salsa sets. Expect long social blocks designed to maximise dancing time, DJs rotating through sets in the indoor venue and an open-air picnic-style social where music and the park setting invite casual, relaxed dancing. Workshops, bootcamp and learning Workshops include focused musicality sessions and a discussion panel about history, music and dance. The “All About That Groove” bootcamp is offered with a capped number of participants to keep classes hands-on and interactive. These sessions are framed to deepen your listening, timing and partner connection without requiring a particular competitive level. Practical notes Organisers limit the number of full passes, and some specialised offerings (for example the bootcamp) are sold with smaller capacity. Registration and desk hours are provided by the organisers and single-party ticket options are restricted in some cases. The indoor venue is WESPA Business & Lounge Bar, and the organisers also run the signature open-air social in Zrinjevac Park. Whether you come for focused classes or to spend long hours social dancing with fellow travellers and local dancers, this edition is structured to give you extended floor time, dedicated learning opportunities and easy chances to meet others between sets. If you want a weekend with both club nights and a relaxed outdoor social in a central Zagreb park, consider joining the Zagreb Salsa Marathon 2027.
