Dance Blender Horn, NÖ (close to Vienna)
Dance Blender 11/23/2023 City: Horn, NÖ (close to Vienna), Austria Dances: Blues, Fusion, Tango, Other ✨ Vision
We envision a space where social partner dancers come together as social partner dancers first and then dancers of a style, to recognize that there is one language of social partner dancing and we chose whether or not to dance dialects of that language.

📍 Quick overview
- 3 party nights on 2 dance floors + a pre-party and after-party on November 23rd and 27th respectively, after-party in Vienna
- 4 days of workshops of international teachers of different dance style backgrounds
- music of different genres

*More info on Facebook and Website*

🔹 Instructors
We are honored to be bringing together instructors from all different types of social partner dancing styles that align with our vision.
All of our amazing instructors have some sort of fusion/freestyle aspect to their dancing and will only teach technique, musicality, or connection-oriented classes at Dance Blender, no pattern/choreo based classes will happen.
These awesome instructors are:
🔹Gui Prada, for zouk also with tango, and Brazilian ballroom backgrounds (https://www.youtube.com/@guilhermeprada )
🔹 Alain and Flouer, for blues also with tango, zouk, and fusion backgrounds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmmDZ9ovZjw )
🔹 Arnaldes and Bri, for bachata also with kizomba, and zouk backgrounds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQdLCjnHGfg )
🔹Jenni Schmitz with a bellydancing, zouk, many partner/solo dances, improvisation, conscious dance/mindful movement, Transnational fusion background, and somatic/dance therapy background
(partner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yevputGFgbE , Solo: https://youtu.be/uvkbXaCwWIk )
🔹Dotty for Salsa and Contact Improv also with a zouk background and the founder of ConSla (Salsa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB_XwsMM_rU , Zouk Contemporary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U4AEcoQJ-c )
🔹Yera and Leonilde, for Contemporary and contact Improv also with sala, and hip hop backgrounds (https://www.instagram.com/yerandleonilde/ )
🔹Jessica and Christopher, for fusion also with urban-kizz, zouk and tango backgrounds (https://www.facebook.com/DanceTheoryWorld/videos/164188343080159/ )
🔹Jesica Cutler, also with blues and zouk backgrounds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmcQUkac4zo )
🔹 With more to come!

🎵 Music
We have looked far and wide for the perfect DJs and musicians to be part of Dance Blender. All of them are versatile in what they play and are ready to have the music dance your socks off, for over 20 hours of parties across two rooms!
We will be having two rooms during the main party with changing themes every hour throughout the night. These themes are dance style agnostic and the majority of the music played will not be of a particular dance style, more details to come.
