Island Vibez
Island Vibez events bring the dances and music of Caribbean islands and Latin America (Dominican Republic, Colombia, Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad, …) to Vienna. An authentic island feeling, lots of dancing, a relaxed atmosphere and a community of like-minded people are what we stand for.
What is Island Vibez?
Island Vibez is regular event happening in Vienna, centering around music and dance styles from the Caribbean/Latin America which are being neglected in the dance scene of Vienna. We are currently focusing on Bachata Dominicana (traditional Bachata) and Salsa Caleña, a salsa style originating in Cali (Colombia).

Feel the spirit of Caribbean islands
Experience an authentic Caribbean island feeling in Vienna
Happy people, a sense of togetherness, a room filled with riddim. Chilled vibes, love and laughter. At Island Vibez we dance the night away and honor the moment because that’s all we have. We are here to celebrate ourselves, our community and the music which gives us so much life.
Learn the flow of Caribbean dances
The natural flow, the sensual body movements, the self-confident attitude – that’s what Caribbean dancing is all about.
Learn the energetic moves of Dancehall, express your liveliness through salsa or become a hip swing pro in Bachata. Connect with your body and with others through dance, enter new horizons.
At Island Vibez it is not about becoming a professional dancer who knows all the steps in this world, it’s about learning how to flow with the music and become comfortable on the dance floor.
Due to their moving history Caribbean dances are very powerful and always cultural. Island Vibez always intents to honor their roots and historical contexts.
Become a part of the family
At Island Vibez it’s all about community. We are a growing international family of like-minded people who share our love for the music and the dance. We dance, explore and laugh together, while undergoing a mutually beneficially exchange. At Island Vibez you can meet new friends and reconnect with old ones in a safe space where everyone is welcome.
(Re)discover your femininity/masculinity
Sensuality is an important part of who we are. However, sometimes we lose connection to our own bodies or we don’t find the right space and time to express our feminine/masculine side. Or we feel too ashamed, or maybe we even think that we don’t have any sensual side. Caribbean dancing allows you to (re)discover that side of yours in a playful way.
Feel a taste of freedom
Island Vibez is a non-judgemental, safe space allowing you to let lose and get wild. Allowing you to get carried away by the music. Stop thinking for a moment (about what others think of you) and let go. Connect with yourself and others. Feel the freedom that has always been a part of you.
The team
Theres (founder/organizer)
Theres has been a passionate dancer since she is 17 years old. She started with Dancehall, discovered Soca later on in her life and in 2022 she fell in love with Latin music and dance. She is traveling to the Caribbean and Latin America on a regular basis, visiting destinations such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia and México.
Her goal with Island Vibez is to bring the “island feeling”, which she misses a lot when she is in Europe, to Vienna, as Austrian society can feel a little uptight and cold sometimes. She uses the knowledge and experiences she was able to make on her journeys to make Island Vibez as authentic as possible. She wants her party guests to get a feeling for the culture and the music.
