€30.
Full pass.
Three days.
Same marathon.
If you're a full-time student, a PhD candidate, or you're under 26 — the full pass is €30.
Not a side door. Not a watered-down ticket. The same floor, the same DJs, the same room as everyone else.
Register — pick the student option in the form.
Who it's for
One of these is enough:
- Full-time student (bachelor, master, exchange — any field, any age)
- PhD candidate
- Under 26
You declare it in the registration form. That's it.
What €30 actually gets you
The full marathon. 26 hours of dancing across Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 200 m² of warm wood floor. The TDJs we curated for the main event.
At the venue, throughout the marathon: seasonal fruit, vegetables, snacks, water, tea, freshly brewed coffee — included.
If you want a proper hot meal, the on-site restaurant does lunch for around €10. Optional, never required.

The weekend, end to end
A realistic budget for three days in Brno:
| Student / Youth full pass | €30 |
| Hostel dorm × 2 nights | €20 – 36 |
| Two dinners out | €10 – 20 |
| Lunch at the venue | €10 |
| Tram (hard daily cap: 100 Kč ≈ €4) | up to €12 |
| Total | €82 – 112 |
Brno's public transport has a hard daily fare cap — you can't spend more than 100 Kč (≈ €4) on trams and buses in a single day, no matter how much you ride.
A weekend in most European capitals costs more than this — without the dancing.
Some of our community open their homes to visiting dancers. If you'd like to ask, write to brnosaires at protonmail dot com.
You're probably closer than you think
Brno sits on the Vienna – Bratislava – Prague train map.
- Vienna — 1.5 h by direct train or bus
- Bratislava — 1.5 h by bus
- Prague — 2.5 h by train
- Budapest — 4 – 5 h
- Kraków — 4 – 6 h
RegioJet and FlixBus run these routes for a handful of euros if you book ahead. If you're on Erasmus anywhere in Central Europe, this is a weekend trip.
Brno, briefly
Brno is a student city before it's anything else. Around 80,000 students live here during term. QS has put it in the top ten student cities in the world.
That means the things you actually need work in your favour: cheap good food (look for denní menu at lunch), beer under €2, trams that go everywhere, hostels from €10.
Masaryk University's ESN is one of the most active in Europe. If you're already on exchange in CZ, you know the vibe. If you're not, you'll feel it within an hour of arriving.
Where to stay, eat, caffeinate
A word about the floor
This is a marathon, not a beginner event. We expect dancers who've been social-dancing for a while and can comfortably hold a tanda.
If that's you — welcome. If you started last month, come to one of our regular Saturday milongas first and we'll see you next year.
How to register
Go to the main registration and select the student / young dancer option. We ask a couple of details in the form — that's the whole process.
Couples can register together; if one of you qualifies and the other doesn't, the form handles it.
We're looking forward to your embrace.
