March 29 to April 2
– Easter weekend 2024 –
In the Dutch province of Limburg, we created an extraordinary Zouk fairytale on old Roman era crossroads and at the premises of a medieval castle. A joyous group of people enjoyed a great Zouk marathon and retreat. At the same time we offered the opportunity to discover some Miracles of Zouk, for example: greater connections, beautiful experiences, deeper knowledge and powerful expressions.. Make sure to subscribe to the Zoukdreams newsletter to not miss out on news for the next edition!
Thank you so much for joining our weekend in 2023!
After the fantastic first edition in 2023, which was sold-out *, we are looking forward to repeat this next year! Of course we already have a long list of things which we want to make even better and we are already working on all kind of surprises. At least it will be at the same stunning location, where we will welcome a mixture of incredible artists again and have the capacity to receive about the same amount of joyous people!
* Our full-pass and most accommodation optios were sold out
Located near Venlo, The Netherlands
The Zoukdreams Castle of Miracles is very central in Western Europe. Driving distances, to Dusseldorf (+ airport): 40 min, Cologne: 1 hour, Antwerps: 1 hour 30 min, Amsterdam (+ airport): 1 hour 45 min.
Many nearby possibilities
The town of Venlo is nearby and the train station just 6 kilometers. Although you can enjoy the full weekend at the accommodation, anything you would need is close by.
Why and what, the Castle of Miracles:
Our venue is in The Netherlands, close to Germany, very central in Western-Europe. The roots of the castle go back to 13th century and the current building is from 1830. It is surrounded by nature and the river Maas. In between workshops you can take a breath of fresh air and walk through the gardens and forest on the property.
For Zoukdreams we only use a modern building next to the old castle. But this is in fact the real Castle of Miracles: it is a new fantasy castle created from re-used materials from local buildings, including some old fortifications of the town of Venlo. The modern building has bigger rooms to dance and up to date, comfortable sleeping rooms.
