Great people and party venue
Loved the people, the music, party venue and the city! Only downside: parties are rather short especially with all the competitions. I’d move competitions earlier or reduce the them.

holiday in Valencie
I can't rate the balance in the classes, I wasn't in the lessons / For me, a unique dance venue architecturally - wow. / From a technical point of view, due to the rounding of the ceiling, a light, subtle sound effect "double sound". I was looking for the right sound for the Friday dance floor. Unfortunately, the toll for the architecture. / First impression, all the dancers here are very, very good at dancing :)) - I didn't get lost. / I found people I had already met in the past elsewhere in Europe. / I will ask that those followers who are at the top of their dance (that they dance very, very well) not be frowning when a foreign leader comes for them and has been dancing for about 2-3 years. The facial expressions say it all. Honestly, I want to vomit from such behavior. / Don't worry - I notice this fail everywhere. / So, in total I get, for example, 10 follows, which were very pleasant to me and they accepted me. Then everyone else. And at the end there are findings with a negative face, about 4-5 follows. / Morning dance halls - please, next time enter more precise information, such as GPS. Or a description, for example, next to the church. The name of the queues is misleading. Otherwise, the dance hall is nice and so is the place. / Yes, it was a pleasure to be in Valencia, in the city among the people, to visit the great building Les Arts Reina Sofia. / See you next time. .

A great even with a high level of dancing
I appreciated that the majority of the prelims took place before the social so the social wasn't interrupted as often I also appreciated having a day with no classes, it gave me time to see Valencia

Gran festival. Música y sonido mejorable
Como siempre, por desgracia, el número de followers y leaders está desequilibrado, pero eso no es culpa de la organización. El lugar de las fiestas espectacular, aunque este año el sonido era peor que otros. El aire acondicionado, algún día también funcionó menos que otros años, aún así es el festival en el que menos calor se pasa. Las bandas... la del viernes estaba bien para escuchar, no para bailar. Muchos cambios de ritmo, cuando empezabas a disfrutar una melodía la cambiaban. Eso alguna vez, está bien, en casi todas las canciones... muchos cambios de ritmo, era como si hubieran cogido trozos de canciones y las hubieran pegado. Sábado y domingo mejor, pero con muchos tiempos de lindy en un festival de balboa... una pena. Las fiestas de baile social, muy divertidas, el lugar muy bien, excepto el lunes que se quedó pequeño. Aún así, si no lo has vivido, has de hacerlo!!!

What is the Spanish for amazing?
The night time venue is one of THE most magical places that I have ever danced and the bands were great. So many lovely dancers and teachers in one city - focussed classes with time to explore and relax as well as to Bal-Geek out. One of the best balboa festivals I have been to. Its a shame that the website crashed at registration time so iIwas on the waitlist for ages.

great festival
I particularly appreciated the pre-party on Thursday where the family and non-competitive atmosphere allowed me to dance with almost all the dancers in the room. I noticed that during the evenings at the Palace the dancers were ideally arranged in two groups and that the teachers, going around the room, tried to compensate for this division which, in fact, clashed with the rest of the inclusive atmosphere.

Accommodation and food costs in Valencia can vary, but it's generally possible to find affordable options. Local transport is also relatively affordable, with buses and metro lines connecting the city.

Additionally, considering purchasing a local transport card for convenient travel during the festival.
