What to do in Ljubljana

  • Who are Mateja & Andreas?

Mateja decided at age 6 that she wanted to dance in a couple. For quite a few years she searched for and tried different dance genres, from Latin American and standard dances, tango, and salsa, to African and oriental dances. She discovered swing in 2010 and immediately knew it was what she had been looking for all these years. And although she practices and dances lindy hop and blues, her heart beats for balboa. She started dancing balboa in 2010 and already after a few months achieved 3rd place in the Jack’n’Jill competition at the Paris balboa festival 2011.
Over the years she visited numerous European dance festivals and continues to explore them daily. She is fascinated by the elegance and liveliness but at the same time the sophistication and artistry of moving through the floor.
She’s been one of the driving forces of the Slovenian balboa scene since then and has been teaching it nonstop since 2012.

Andreas discovered dancing in 2008 with standard dances, however, it was swing and jazz music that captured his heart and ignited his passion for dance. Starting with lindy hop he soon discovered balboa, which quickly became his favorite dance style. His mentors were Gašper Hrovat, Nejc Zupan, and Katja Završnik. Over the years, he participated in numerous dance festivals at home and abroad, providing him with opportunities to learn and grow.
In addition to dance, he also pursued an education in jazz drums at the Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana. This allowed him to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for music, which he applies to his dance practice. His style prioritizes fluidity and musicality, and he usually can’t be torn off the social dance floor, especially when good music is playing.
