Sensual Weekend 2023
18.-20.08.23
Current Informations:
The Sensual Weekend 2023 ended Monday morning at 3 a.m. after a 15-hour dance marathon at the city harbour. A weekend with 6 dance events and 2x3 workshops. I would like to thank all participants for allowing us Rostockers to share so many beautiful moments with you.
It is very important to me to thank the many volunteers who, in the background, made this event possible without making themselves known. So now I'm listing it again:
Alex, Katrin, Nadja and Tobias - planning and organization in advance
Alex – Beachsocial, workshop organization
Katrin – dance teacher, dance courses and workshops
Ralf - drinks supply mole party
Steffen – music boxes for all events + music
Helena – transport of dance floors to WS
Meiko & Ludwig - Bachata Salsafloor DJ PWH
Suzi - fantastic videos and photos
and of course the dance teachers:
Lena & Arelio – music on the salsa floors
Daniel & Lorenz – music on the kizomba and bachata floors
and of course all of you who always lent a hand when it was necessary or played music.

The schedule of the festival:
We are a free open-air dance festival (except for the 10€ ticket in advance for the planned indoor party on Saturday evening). We have 4 main locations and depending on the weather we will decide where to start the next item on the program.
Location 1: Warnemünde beach - only in "beach weather", no dance floor
Location 2: Warnemünde Mole or Promenaden – only in good weather, with a dance floor
Location 3: Stadthafen Rostock Aida Terrassen - partially covered and a little more sheltered from the wind, in colder, windy weather, with a dance floor
Location 4: Peter Weiß Haus Rostock – 3 indoor dance floors in bad weather, but currently only booked for Saturday afternoon and night.
Locations 1 and 2 are in Warnemünde and about 25 minutes by train from locations 3 and 4 in Rostock. In all locations we can open 3 dance floors with your help. We have several boxes and dance floors and each of you can also just put your box down and make music.
Ideally, our program could look like this:
Friday 18.8.2023
from 5 p.m. get-to-know beach social Warnemünde on the beach
from 8 p.m. Mole Party Warnemünde on the pier, followed by a joint return trip to Rostock on the Sbahn with music
Saturday 08/19/2023:
from 12 p.m. Dancer brunch on the beach in Warnemünde (simply bring your own food and brunch on the beach, dance, maybe sunbathe and swim)
9 p.m. – 2 a.m. Saturday evening party on 3 dance floors in the Peter Weiß Haus Rostock (admission 10 € in advance / 15 € at the box office)
Sunday 08/20/2023:

General Information:
The Sensual Weekend is a non-profit event. All open airs are free, only the dance classes are paid for by the dance teachers themselves and the Saturday night party. Here are our ideas for the weekend:
Event #1: Friday 5 p.m. we meet for a beach social with several boxes on the beach, get to know each other and dance a little warmly on the beach and open dance floors as needed.
Location: https://goo.gl/maps/G67P5Nsfmxk1mGuQ6
Event #2: Friday from 8 p.m. we will make the pier in Warnemünde glow with 3 dance floors. We dance as long as we are tolerated or until midnight so that everyone can still get the last S-Bahn. Bring something warmer, because it can get chilly at night
Event #3: Saturday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. we meet for a dancer's brunch followed by a beach social with several boxes to dance on the beach and sunbathe on the beach (dance floors as required). ….also dance-talk-eat-repeat….The workshops may then run parallel to this, maybe 200m away at the lighthouse.

FAQ – Answers to questions that you keep asking about Sensual WE:
– no dance pass this year, all Open Air events are free of charge
– Why are there no full passes for the dance courses? This is the only way everyone can book exactly what they want and it remains inexpensive for everyone who does not want to attend any or not many courses.
– Are there always 3 dance floors? Whenever there are enough dancers, a dance floor can be opened. e.g. at Beachsocial - take a box and your music and decide for yourself
– What is a dancer brunch? bring something you want to eat and we'll have brunch and chilled dancing together
– Dress code for all events: Whatever you feel comfortable with, but to be on the safe side, bring a windbreaker and sweater for the open air
– What happens to the Open Airs in bad weather? We then try to find indoor alternatives and then have to share the room rent that may be incurred.
– Price Saturday evening party in the Peter Weiß Haus: 10€ VV-15€ AK
I hope everyone who is attending for the first time likes our somewhat different form of the event. We attach more importance to social dance and relaxed togetherness.
