Dance Holidays in Cuba

We have been running our two-week dance holidays in Santiago de Cuba since 1999. The trips provide a heady mix of dance classes; nights out with our Cuban dance partners to live music clubs; 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, the 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.

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

Being based in Santiago for a week was excellent to get a bit grounded and oriented. Staying with a family is a wonderful way into life along with the language classes. The personal attention was great and being part of a small group.SP, Wicklow - Cuba Dance and Trekking Holiday, March 2008

On the way out to Cuba I was struck by the number of people who were returning for the third time. By the time we left, I understood why. The charm of the country and the people is irresistible. The holiday itself was great fun and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who loves music, dance and mojitos. AM, Cuba Dance and Trekking Holiday, March 06

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 am very happy I decided to go in the end. It is indeed a very special holiday where you are catapulted in a completely different world, meet very special people and get loads of new ideas and impressions. I have not had such a great holiday for some time and can highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in dance or music. I totally forgot about the trouble at work. In short, it was the perfect holiday for me. DK, Switzerland - Cuba Dance Holiday, Christmas 2008
