The town is bursting with so many things to see and do that you might want to extend your visit to fit more in. There are plenty of places to visit and fun things to do for all ages. Explore the area's history , discover 1066 castles, museums and art galleries, relax and enjoy the views of Beachy Head, local parks and gardens, sample the local produce from the town's vineyards and farmers markets, enjoy fun filled trips to the seaside or South Downs National Park, spend the day shopping and then soak up the local atmosphere in one of the many restaurants, wine bars or traditional pubs.
Enjoy a weekend by the sea with a difference! This is the second of our Best of Both Worlds™ series and is the perfect opportunity to get away from it all, learn a new skill and make friends in a fun, sociable environment.
The weekend offers a combination of Ballroom / Modern and Latin and Tango tuition so you can have the chance to dance a style you love as well as learn something new. Best of Both Worlds™ comprises of two dance weekends in total - Isle of Wight and Eastbourne (discounts available if you book both). The two weekend schedule allows progressive learning but each weekend can also stand alone. It's a great way to dip into the worlds of Ballroom and Tango!
The Best of Both Worlds™ format makes greater use of both the teacher and ballroom to deliver two complete holidays in one, adding significantly greater value for you. Ballroom and Latin American dancers can try Tango and vice versa and thus cross-fertilising the benefits of the respective experiences.
Dance Matrix Bonus: And to boost your holiday experience even further, everyone who books will receive a complimentary Dance Matrix Introductory Dance Taster Session at a Dance Matrix centre, of your choice (UK or ROI only), in any of the styles offered on the holiday to help prepare you for the weekend!

"It’s an absolute joy for me to write a letter of appreciation to you and your whole team for the totally fantastic weekend that I have just had dancing. Tuition - professional, sensitive, empowering." "Very relaxing, and the organized events - very enjoyable. Liked having the choice to be independent as and when we pleased." 'Brilliant way to meet like-minded people and dance the night away!' "Great fun made special by terrific hosts."
The third in our Best of Both Worlds™ series, this weekend offers a continuation of the themes explored on our Isle of Wight weekend (8 - 10 March) and Torquay weekend (5 - 7 July). The Best of Both Worlds comprises of three dance weekends in total (Isle of Wight, Torquay and Eastbourne), offering Ballroom / Modern and Latin tuition alongside Tango. The three weekend schedule allows progressive learning but each weekend can also stand alone as a great way to dip into the worlds of Ballroom and Tango.
Our UK breaks are ideal for newcomers to Ballroom and / or Tango - a fantastic, great value way to sample a dance weekend without having to travel abroad. Rather than offer non-stop classes and workshops we include a thorough syllabus split over three days along with social evenings and time to relax and explore the local area.
The Best of Both Worlds™ : A typical dance weekend might include, for example, morning sessions with the afternoons largely at leisure. However, Best of Both Worlds™ format makes greater use of both the teacher and ballroom to deliver two complete holidays in one, adding significantly greater value and offering a wider appeal. Ballroom and Latin American dancers can try Tango and vice versa and thus cross-fertilise the benefits of the respective experiences.
Paul and his team bring their unique brand of fun and entertainment to this sociable dance weekend, with top class teaching and hosting.
