behind the scene
Yummy Organizers
We are Sabina and Leia, passionate dancers, friends and creators behind Slovenian Zouk Marathon. What began as a chance encounter on the dance floor over 15 years ago grew into a shared love for movement, countless adventures and a friendship that continues to evolve year after year.
Over time, we realised that our energy extends beyond dancing. It naturally flows into projects, teaching and creating. So we joined forces as business partners, combining our strengths, creativity and a touch of playfulness.
And this is how Slovenian Zouk Marathon was born — with a yummy first edition that encouraged us to continue creating, growing and sharing this event with dancers from around the world…
