FESTIVAL LOCATIONS
SATURDAY PARTY LOCATION
NOVINARSKI DOM
Aaaand we’re back at Novinarski dom, a striking art-deco gem in the heart of Zagreb. It hosted our Saturday party last year, and, by some happy chance, it was available for us again! Its glamorous interior sets the perfect scene for an unforgettable night of dance. And dancers, take note: the floor here is very fast, so get ready to glide.
WORKSHOP LOCATION
BUENA VISTA
The only Latin club in Zagreb focused on dance and authentic Latin culture. With over 120m2 of dance space in the main room, they host workshops, congresses, and vibrant parties for dancers and music lovers alike. This year, Buena Vista Club Zagreb will host our Snowdown Swing Festival workshops and parties on Friday and Sunday.
ELVES CLASSES SPOT
RESIDENCE STUDIO
This dance studio will host workshops for our Elves on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00. It can be a little tricky to find at first: enter the courtyard where the Maredo restaurant is, walk past the restaurant to the back of the courtyard, and you’ll see a bowling club on your right along with a staircase. Head up those stairs and you’ll find the studio. :)Please remember to bring clean shoes for this venue!
