DJ Morena
Slovenia
Dj Morena / Katja is dancing since she is able to remember. 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. More than ten years ago she fell in love with her greatest passion - Salsa.
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.
DJ Czequita
Czechia
DJ Czequita, based in Prague, is a rising star of the Czech salsa scene. A passionate salsa dancer turned DJ. Her journey with salsa began during her university years, and over time she explored all major salsa styles through extensive training and performing with a dance group. She also spent several years assisting on regular dance courses.
Inspired by her travels to numerous festivals across Europe and participation in choreographic projects and performances, she developed a deep connection with salsa on2 – her true passion. This love for on2 eventually led her to the DJ booth, where she found a way to bring this vibrant style closer to the local community, feeling it was something missing on the Czech scene.
Today, DJ Czequita plays regularly at popular salsa spots in Prague and has been invited to DJ in cities like Brno and Munich. Her sets are known for their musicality, energy and ability to keep dancers inspired all night long.
DJ V
Ireland
DJ V (AKA Verginiya) is an Irish, but Greece-based DJ and salsa social dancer.
She strives to play the best salsa music - including something for everyone from mambo, salsa dura, guaguanco, salsa romantica, instrumentals, charanga, son and chachacha.
Being an eager social dancer first, DJ V is very passionate about playing danceable music that gets your body grooving and wanting to get up and dance! Her music is groovy, energetic, and creates a flow that will keep you on the dancefloor for the whole set!
She broadcasts her monthly radio show Alegria on WorldSalsaRadio, where she plays new and old songs - as much for the feet as for the ear! On Alegria, DJ V shares information about each artist and track, and also some salsa history so that the raw spirit of salsa music and dance continues to inspire each and every one of us!

What Dancers Say
"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!"

"If you like amazing music, great level of dancing and one of the most friendly atmosphere ever in the salsa world, you HAVE TO experience dance marathos by Zdenek. 🙂 At least once and then you can become addicted and be proud of it at the same time. Like myself 🙃🙂❤️ Sabina from sLOVENia"

"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."

"One highlight is really hard! Great floor and music are fundamental and they are top notch at this event, as is the stunning venue in the astonishingly beautiful city of Prague. The amazing organisation (attention to all the little details) and the yummy healthy food were an added bonus. But where are you without dancers so I'll go with "a really good mix of dancers from everywhere, without cliques, just sharing the love of mambo"."

Our Venues
Romantic Grotta
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.
