Happy new year to one and all!  We hope you have had a wonderful time over the festive period, wherever you were.  We thoroughly enjoyed our 6th Christmas/New Year Cuba Dance Trip, with fantastic weather, lots of dancing and great company.  Roll on March - we are already taking bookings for the next Cuba Dance Trip!

You may be intrigued by our main photo - this is not snow, it is in fact salt!  A typical view across the vast salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni, in southern Bolivia.  This is one of many extraordinary places which is waiting to be explored through our new range of 'Discover' programmes, combining language learning with excursions, activities and first-hand experience with the locals. 

The snow season is well under way and we offer fantastic opportunities to study Spanish, French or German at the same time as hitting the slopes.  Or on the other hand, for those of you who are already dreaming of some sunshine, we have some special offers for our exciting destinations in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Brazil.

Read on below for details of these exciting trips and our special offers for this month:

NEW 'Discover' Programmes: language, culture and adventure

Have you made any new year's resolutions? If you are looking for a new challenge this year, something to broaden your mind and open your eyes to another culture, our new ‘Discover' programmes incorporate language learning whilst exploring the culture of the country where you have chosen to study, through excursions, activities and first-hand experience with the locals. Check out the 'Discover' page on our website for details of destinations in Europe and Latin America.

Snow Season: language + skiing/snowboarding

The skiing/snowboarding season is well under way in Europe and if you're yet to book your snow break, why not combine some skiing or snowboarding with language classes: French in Chamonix (French Alps), Spanish in Jaca/Candanchú (Spanish Pyrenees) or German in Kitzbuhel (Austrian Alps).

"I loved the trip.  The lessons were great, good organisation and really helpful, friendly teacher.  The thing I enjoyed the most was that while I attended the school I still got to do plenty of snowboarding in my free time.  I would love to go back to Chamonix again!"  TW - French + Skiing, Chamonix, 2011

"All of the dancers were fabulous - very patient, understanding, caring, respectful, keen, professional, great fun and brilliant dancers. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything ran really well, with no apparent hitches, even though some changes had to be made. Overall this is the best holiday experience I've ever had by a very long way and I'd love to go back!"  AC - Cuba Dance Holiday, March 2011
