This love for latin music grew quickly into a passion and after more than 10 years of social dancing, he started his journey as a DJ. Resident at O'Sullivans since 2022, he is particularly fond of salsa dura, cha cha, amazing piano and great voices.

DJ Czequita

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.

  • "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."

  • "This was my first Fall Prague Salsa Marathon and I was most impressed. The high level of organisation, especially after all the uncertainty of the pandemic times in which we’re currently living, is very laudable! From the ticket purchase and transfer to the check-in and staff, welcome drink, outstanding meal offerings, friendly and professional kitchen staff, top-notch DJ lineup, quality level of balanced leads/follows, this Fall Prague Marathon was, quite simply, excellent!"

Our Venues

Romantic Grotta

Havlíčkovy Sady, 12000 Prague 2, Czechia

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