Dance holidays are becoming more and more popular these days, regardless of age or gender. Dancing keeps you fit and is a lot of fun. Whether you are a total beginner or have been dancing for many years, there is a dance holiday for you.

A dance holiday is also a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends. If you love to travel and you love to dance, combining the two could be a wonderful experience.

There are many styles of dancing. You have probably heard of tango, salsa and foxtrot, for example. Tango originated in South America in the nineteenth century and is known as being a passionate, exciting dance. Salsa is a dance based on music with two bars of four beats. You usually take three steps then skip a beat, as you shift your weight to the other foot, keeping in perfect time with the music.

The foxtrot involves a slow-slow-quick-quick step and is easy to learn. If you choose a dance holiday, you will be able to take part in dance courses, tailored to your level of expertise. Technique, style and choreography will be included and the course will be light-hearted and a lot of fun.

There are many exotic destinations catering to dance holidays now, as the trend really takes off. You can choose from European resorts, holidays throughout North and South America, the Caribbean and even cruises. Immersing yourself in a different culture while enjoying that culture through dance is a fantastic experience and everything is organized for you.

You choose how many classes you want to attend, what kind of accommodation and resort you prefer and the rest is arranged for you. Cuba could be a good choice if you fancy combining salsa and merengue classes with mojitos and exploring old Havana. Spain is world famous for salsa and flamenco and a fascinating country to visit. New York is an exciting and vibrant city and a great place to learn ballroom dancing, latin dancing or even try out line dancing, while enjoying the culture and meeting new people.

A salsa holiday in Tenerife will be guaranteed to recharge your batteries. With year round sunny weather and great nightlife, Tenerife is a great spot to indulge in dancing. If you just can’t make up your mind, a mini cruise or full cruise will enable you to visit a variety of interesting destinations whilst practicing your steps both on-board and at the resorts.

If you don’t fancy traditional ballroom or latin dancing, you can try something fun like belly dancing classes, modern jive or even Bollywood. There are also sequence dancing and line dancing holidays. Dance holidays are so popular now that if you can think of a type of dance, there is probably a dance holiday to cover it.

Even if you dance regularly at home, taking dance classes in a new and exotic setting is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

I am debating between swing dance lessons or salsa dance lesson for my boyfriend and I. I am wondering which one would be more fun for the both of us. Thanks
i am debating between sing dance lessons and salsa dance lessons for my boyfriend and I. We are twenty three and looking for a good time. Which dance lesson would be good for us?

def. salsa ..its has a nice aura about it…very personal

Not excellently, but well enough not to make a total fool out of myself at a party I'll be attending in a copule of months. Can't afford lessons (and frankly I don't think I'll have enough time to attend classes regularly). What websites do you recommend to help me learn?
Any other recommendations?
Azuca'! jeje

But umm.. any website where I can gather some tips?
The sarcasm isn't helping, you know…
I can practice, but I'd appreciate a website as reference.

I don't know what level you are on. But if you go to YouTube and type in "salsa lessons", you will find some clips for basic stuff. But ignore one instructor named Marlon Silva. That guy is not doing salsa. It will only mislead you.

If you already know the basic, then I suggest you to type in the following things

1. Super Mario Salsa

2. Milton Cobo

3. Sarai salsa

4. Magna jareau

5. Francisco Vasquez

6. NYC Salsa Congress

7. Chicago Salsa congress

That's what I can think of so far….

But remember…you can always find something on YouTube.com

I really want to start salsa dancing classes, but I'm worried about turning up and being turned away!
I'm not extremely large, but I've got some extra baggage that I could do with shifting – another reason I'd like to start dancing!

can anybody enlighten me? thank you for your time!

No teacher can turn you away for not being slim. and if they do then they are not worth your time, so go out there and salsa your heart out
good luck

So, we have the lovely Melanie Rivera on this episode of Addicted 2 Salsa showing us how a body roll can be performed during salsa. Note that the technique, or steps to do a body roll can be done by a lead as well (not just for ladies), but of course, probably using less lower-body-part movement. Also, I teach you how to perform a stop (very very simple salsa move) so that the ladies can do some free-style during that time.

Enjoy, this one is especially for the ladies!
