Valentines Bachata Festival 11-13 February - more information

Message from Marcela

The 11-13th of February we’re turning Stockholm into the number 1 Bachata city. It’s going to be an intensive, fun and sweaty weekend filled with inspiring and challenging workshops, crazy theme parties with spectacular shows, hilarious animacion’s, great music played by Stockholm’s top dj’s and lots of breathtaking social dances with enthusiastic dancers from all over the world. It will be held at the spacious Quality Hotel Winn Handen to get that real international congress feeling. It will be a weekend you’ll never forget.

Prepare yourself for a trip thru Bachata!

When I today asked about the party dresscode - last year it was read and black - I got this answer:

Marcela:

You know me, always complicating stuff! It's so much more fun ;)

- Friday: Dress to Impress
(Put on those fancy clothes you never use for dancing, the fancier the better)
...- Saturday: Ladies & Gentlemen from the 20's Jazz theme
(Paljett & Frans dresses for the women and smokings or skirts with rolled up sleeves, suspenders and wests for men. Hats & feathers are perfect accessories)
- Sunday: Military
(For extra cool pictures on the Men vs. Women)

I like when when dance festival managers really care about the photographers work situation :)

My tickets are reserved. Train up Thursday. Study visit Friday and then party.  Couch sleeping at least one night then perhaps hotel. I am looking forward very much. Last years festival was one of my best dance experiences ever.
Gabriel had an accident a few weeks ago but will be Ok for the festival. I am so happy for this. His classes was the best I ever had. What an energy and charisma!
