Dance Holidays in Cuba

We have been running our two-week dance holidays in Santiago de Cuba since 1999. The trips provide a heady cocktail of dance classes; nights out with our Cuban dance partners to live music venues; cultural excursions and visits and plenty of time to just chill out and soak up the Cuban atmosphere. Our dance teachers are all professional dancers from one of Cuba’s top national dance companies, Ballet Folklorico Cutumba. A unique feature of our holidays is that everyone has his/her own partner/teacher for every lesson throughout the two weeks. Twice a year we also include an optional 3 day hiking trip to the Pico Turquino National Park in the Sierra Maestra mountains.

Cuba Dance holiday July 2012 proposed itinerary

The Saturday excursion to a beach, lunch at a local farmers house and waterfall adventure was fantastic. I enjoyed going to watch the opening ceremony of the festival and the nights out dancing in the streets were great! EB, Brighton - Cuba Dance Carnival Holiday, July 2009

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my dance classes with you in July. It really was the highlight of my trip. I am now taking salsa classes twice a week in London.CB, London - Cuba Dance Holiday, July 2010

All of the teachers were wonderfully professional and full of spirit.  I cannot speak highly enough about their commitment, warmth and energy.  My homestay hosts were kind and friendly, fantastic cooks and very patient with  my lack of Spanish.'  TM, California - Cuba Dance holiday, July 2011

My favourite [part of the trip] was being able to learn from the Cutumba dancers and the nights out with them. So much fun being able to dance with them! Completely understand why [a group member] has been going on this trip for 5 years. ST, London - Cuba Dance Holiday, Christmas 2009.

I want to thank you for the great holiday you arranged for us.  I had the best time of my life!  The family we stayed with, the dancers and everyone were fantastic.  They made us feel at home from the very first moment.  And the main teachers are real professionals - its not easy to find the balance between high quality teaching and fun that we found with the Cutumba teamD de R, London - Cuba Dance Holiday, Christmas 2010
