Sea Dance Festival is an award winning music festival which is held at Jaz beach in Budva, Montenegro since July 2014. The festival has been part of the EXIT Adventure, representing an additional 3 days of EXIT Festival. Second edition of the Sea Dance festival will last a day longer, from 15 to 18 July 2015. Boyle Just after its first edition, Sea Dance festival was officially proclaimed as the 'Best Medium Sized European festival' at the European Festivals Awards,[1] held in Groningen in January 2015.

Following the recognition at the European Festival Awards, Sea Dance festival teamed up with London–based media company AEI and its global brands UKF and TheSoundYouNeed for the second edition of the festival.

In short time, Sea Dance gained international media attention, featuring an article in Forbes magazine that listed Sea Dance festival, together with EXIT festival in Top 10 Europe’s Summer Festivals.[2]

Location

Jaz Beach during Sea Dance

Jaz beach is located 2.5 km west of Budva city. It consists of two parts, one 850 m long and the other, formerly a nudist beach, 450m long. It is a pebble beach, with a campground along the greater part of the beach (capacity 2,000 lots). While it remains a popular spot for sunbathing and camping and is one of the longer beaches in Montenegro, it has gained international prominence as a host for numerous concerts and events in recent years. Since 2007 when The Rolling Stones concert was playing the beach in July 2007, Jaz Beach started to figure as open-air concert location for global acts.

The key stages of the festival include the Main stage with its 30.000 attendee capacity, Dance Paradise, Reggae Stage, Silent Dance, Latino Stage, Cinema, and CHILL Zone.

The total sum of aid collected by the Municipality of Budva and EXIT AID, counting BE HUMAN events, is over 140 000EUR in funds and 80 000EUR worth of goods. The collected aid was distributed to flood relief efforts as coordinated by the Government of the Republic of Serbia.[5]
