Is there a discount for friends/partners who don’t wish to dance?
On some holidays there is a discount available for those accompanying a dancer, who don’t themselves wish to join the dance classes (please speak to the Reservations Team to see whether there is a discount available on the trip you are interested in). They can happily join the rest of the itinerary that we organize.

How much do I need to budget for?
Each holiday varies so please refer to the fact sheets where we advise what optional extras apply to your holiday and also what you can expect to spend on meals, excursions, going out etc.

What languages are the dance classes taught in?
In the main, we work with English-speaking dance teachers. For tuition arranged by Club Dance Holidays, where tuition is not given in English, simultaneous English translation is provided.

Are the Dance Studios air conditioned?
Where possible (and especially in the summer) we work with air conditioned studios.

What is the ratio of pupils to teachers?
We take care to ensure that you get the most out of the dance classes. For this reason, we ensure that the classes aren’t overcrowded. The maximum number in each lesson depends on the dance style.

What happens if there is an imbalance in gender within the group?
For dances that are partner orientated we always do our best to ensure that there are roughly equal numbers of men and women on the holiday. We do this by either limiting the place allocation to ensure a balance or, where possible recruiting local dancers to help out in the classes. In some destinations we also offer ‘taxi dancers’ (evening dance partners) which are available at an extra cost (see individual fact sheet for more details.)

Do I need to bring a dance partner?
About 70% of our clients come by themselves or without a dance partner, so there are usually many partners for you to dance with. Don’t forget, not all the dances we offer are partner orientated. Flamenco, Line dancing, and belly dance require no partner.

What levels of dance do you cater for?
Almost all holidays cater for all dance levels from Complete Beginners to Advanced. For confirmation on what levels are catered for on the trip you are interested in, please contact the Reservations Team.

I am a beginner. Do you cater for me?
Absolutely! - up to 30% of those who come on Dance Holidays are Beginners. A Dance Holiday is a unique way of receiving intensive dance tuition and condensed dance practice over a short space of time. In the busy times that we live in, this is the perfect way to quickly master the basics! You’ll go home having acquired new skills to build upon, as well as a new discovered passion.

How far are the dance studios from the Hotel?
We carefully plan the holiday so that the Hotels and Dance Studios are not far away from each other. In the fact sheets you can find information about how far away the Studios are from each Hotel.

Is there a supplement if I choose a single room?
Hotels tend to charge a room rate rather than a rate per person. This means that if you wish to have a room to yourself there will be a supplement to pay (since our prices are based on one person sharing a twin room). If you would prefer to share a room (thus avoiding the supplement), we can find you a (same sex) roommate for the duration of the holiday.

Can I join the holiday on different dates?
Should you wish to arrive early or extend your stay, contact our Reservations Team to enquire about availability and extra night supplements. It is not possible to join a group once the holiday has commenced.
Back to top
What happens when I arrive at the Airport?
A Dance Holidays Airport transfer to and from your Hotel on the start and finish dates of the holiday is included. Most transfer times are based around London flight arrival and departure times. Please ring Reservations to find out the transfer timings. If you are traveling from a regional airport or from outside the UK, we will try to ensure that your flight coincides with the transfers.

I don’t live in the UK - do I have to start my holiday from the UK?
You can join our programme from wherever you are in the world direct to your chosen destination - we offer flight exclusive prices on all holidays to give you this flexibility.

How many people generally go on a Dance Holiday?
The size of each group depends on the dance style, time of year and the holiday concept. Our groups range in size from 15 to 150 people. Speak to our Reservations Team to find out about the holiday you are interested in.

What age are people who go on a Dance Holiday?
A Dance Holiday is for all ages and all levels of fitness. Our youngest client is 8 and eldest 82 - with all ages in-between. Dance, travel and adventure are non-discriminatory and absolutely everyone is welcome whatever their age, dancing ability, or level of fitness.
Back to top
I’m coming on my own - will I find this a problem?
Absolutely not! About 70% of Dance Holiday clients are single or chose to leave their partners at home. A Dance Holiday is about the sharing of a great social experience which can be equally enjoyed whether you come on your own or accompanied.
