We are delighted to be back in relatively new community and a new country on the West Coast Swing event map in 2019 as well!

The idea of SwingVibes Bratislava was born as a joint calling of Slovakian, Austrian and Hungarian dancers/organizers, to create the opportunity for the Slovakian community to show the world their amazing hospitality, friendly vibes and passion for West Coast Swing.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in the capital of wonderful Slovakia!

 Partnering intensive with Arjay

Enjoy this 2x1.5 hours intensive about partnering from one of the absolute best in the business!

Module1: Partnering Skills for all dances

Arjay will teach you all the essential skills for good partnering. His extensive training in West Coast Swing, International Standard, Latin, Theater Arts and many other dances will show you how to take the best of many dances to take your lead and follow to the next level. We’ll be talking about many elements to improve whichever dance you’re working on.

Module2: Conversing with your partner

The second stage to using the technique from the partnering mechanics workshop is being able to create moments and converse with your partner. Coordinating what the leader leads and what the follow does to express the dance and making it work with the music is no easy task. Arjay will guide you through the specific highlights to bring out your best dancing.

Note: the two modules will take place on Saturday and on Sunday.

REGISTER HERE:

Couple Registration | Single Registration

We would like to ensure the best role balance possible, to maximize dancing time for all of you both in workshops and parties.

• If you register with a partner as a couple, you place will be automatically secured for the event.
• If you register as a single follower or single leader, your place is not automatically secured. We will do our best to secure a place for you, either by pairing you up with someone dancing in the opposite role and also had single registration, or by allowing a healthy surplus of the role with more registrations (most probably followers :) ). You can maximize your chance to get in to the event by getting a follower/leader to accompany you. When your later registering partner adds your name as partner in the registration form, you will be admitted to the event automatically. In case don’t have a registration partner, we highly recommend you to post in the facebook event of #swingvibeswcs2019 that you’re looking for a partner - it eventually works many times and you can register with automatic admission with a partner! :)
