HAVE YOU MET BOB?
BOB is a family size mambo festival in the center of Budapest, Hungary. We are proud and grateful that every year our festival is attended by so many high level social dancers from more than 15 countries. Our exceptional artists and Djs are both our idols and often friends at the same time. One of the sexy things about BOB is definitely the advanced On2 Salsa Bootcamp, which is running parallel with fantastic workshops. All is accompanied by plenty of social dancing in the afternoon and long evening parties from Thursday to Sunday.
Watch below the photos and videos of the 2023 BOB Lab edition with the BOB professors and scientist .
BOB 2024: Experimental Salsa Experience
THE BOB LAB CONCEPT
For the second year BOB decided to show you his secret lab where we put together our mysterious ingredients. And what are our basic elements: Basic steps, Styling, Partnerwork, Social Dancing…those are like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen…we cannot exist without them! Of Course every experiment contains danger but in this lab the only danger is…
“We not just understand but we also create chemistry.”
EXPERIMENTAL WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
The 2nd edition of a concept with a special program on Saturday in two rooms to deepen your knowledge in a unique way. On Saturday there is no changing between the rooms. On Sunday you can commute freely between the rooms and workshops, just as you are used to at festivals.
- Would you like to perfect you dance technique, learn amazing On2 partnerwork combos, super umsical shines and get tips about performing, choreographing, training to be a professional dancer?
- So you like fusion moves? Would dare to try something new and modern, besides On2 partnerwork? If you like hiphop, reggaeton tunes too and would fancy mixing them with on2 salsa, Nina & Zerjon, the legendary couple are the best choice for you!
