The first edition of Zouktime Croatia held at Kacjak, will always have a special place in my heart. It wasn’t just a dance event... it was pure magic. I remember arriving and feeling instantly lost in a dream: dancing on an open terrace with a breathtaking view of the sea, the breeze playing in our hair, music echoing under the stars, and the rhythm of zouk guiding us through the night until sunrise.
Everything about it felt surreal. The beach was just steps away, perfect for a refreshing swim between dances. There was something so powerful about the energy: the people, the music, the friendships forming and deepening with each song. It was more than a festival; it was a celebration of connection and joy.
That first Zouktime became the start of something beautiful for me. I was honored to become the event’s official photographer, capturing those unforgettable moments year after year. And even now, no matter how many dance festivals I go to, nothing has matched the feeling of that first Zouktime event at Kacjak. It truly was, and still is, the most magical dance place I’ve ever known. And I feel... lost in a dream... year after year...
