We are thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to our dance holiday lineup: a Line Dance holiday specifically designed for beginners and improvers! This unique experience is unlike anything we've offered before, and it's perfect for those who want to explore the world of line dancing in a fun and supportive environment. 

Many people think line dancing is country music, but it’s so much more than that. Our Line Dance holiday will show you the modern and diverse side of this dance style. You'll learn routines that incorporate funky moves, waltz, cha cha steps, and much more to different types of music. It's a fantastic way to enjoy dancing, as everyone performs choreographed steps together, creating an exhilarating and unified dance experience. You will learn from the beginning and you don´t need a partner for this.

To add even more variety and fun to your holiday, we will also offer additional classes in tap dance and Irish dance. These sessions are designed to introduce you to new styles and techniques, ensuring that your holiday is filled with learning and laughter. 

Join us for a memorable dance holiday where you can discover the joy of line dance and more, all while making new friends and having a great time!

We include 16 hours of dance Workshops in line dance, and in addition classes in Irish Dance and American Tap dance, nightly entertainment and time to enjoy the nearby beach, shop, swim or just relax with a cocktail to the backdrop of the rolling Mediterranean sea.

We are pleased to offer a truly first class teaching and entertainment.

Spectacular entertainer Maggie Gallagher is one of the top line dancing instructors in England. She travels the world extensively hosting workshops and she was honoured to teach in Texas at the 1999 World Line Dancing Championships and at the Tarheel Festival in USA in September 2000. Subsequent trips across Europe, Japan, Singapore and Australia have confirmed Maggie's firm foothold in Linedance across the Globe. Maggie has appeared in the video 'Lionel Dancing' with Lionel Blair along with other dance instructors and can be seen instructing dances that she has written, including the very popular dance "Magatina Cha Cha" which was choreographed by Maggie and Tina Neale and danced to music by the Dean Brothers. Maggie has seen a large number of her own choreographed line dances hit the "Line Dance Charts", with dances "Just a Memory", "Hot Love" and Na Mara" all huge smash hits, still filling the floor at most socials in the UK and abroad. Her mammoth, award winning 2001 dance "Mony Mony" was the first ever line dance to enter the charts at No 1. Maggie was honoured with being voted by Linedancer Magazine readers "Female Linedance Personality of the Year" 1999, 2000 and 2001 and was totally thrilled to also collect "Crystal Boots" for "Beginner Dance Of The Year " (Just A Memory), "Choreographer Of The Year", "Overall Dance Of The Year" (Mony Mony), and also "Instructor Of The Year". Maggie has been involved in many forms of dance throughout her spectacular career including tap, ballet, modern and Irish dancing (where she toured alongside Colin Dunne and Jean Butler, who later went on to star in River Dance). 

Tapas and raciones:  A good way of keeping your costs down it to eat 'tapas' by way of a meal. Tapas bars are an intrinsic part of Spanish culture.  ‘Tapa’ translates as ‘lid’.  The idea is that you keep you hunger in check by ordering small plates of food.  In tapas bars and in many restaurants you can also order ‘raciones’.  A ración is a plate of one type of dish (either meat or fish or salad etcetera).  The idea is for a group of people to order a ‘ración’ each and for the group to then share the dishes between themselves. It’s a great way to be able to try different dishes! If you would prefer to eat a sit down three course meal, we suggest that you eat at a restaurant with a set menu. The dinner in the hotel is included.

What are optional extras?  In addition to your holiday we also offer optional extras to make your holiday even richer and add some local colour. 

Club Dance Holidays Host:  Your holiday tour host is there to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Club Dance Holidays Tour Hosts are a cut above your typical Holiday Rep with a lightness of touch that enables you to get the best out of your holiday without being in the least bit interfering. We make sure you get the best out of the destination even though you are there for a relatively short time and we do this through our local knowledge and our knowledge of dance. Club Dance Holidays Tour Hosts normally offer much more of themselves than you would expect including making sure your nights are sociable and fun often well into the small hours if that is your whim. During the daytime the level of participation and presence of Club Dance Holidays tour hosts varies according to the nature of each holiday and its destination.

Overview of the Week and Welcome Drink: At the beginning of the week there is an Overview of the Week where your tour host will tell you about all details of your Holiday. Also at the start of the week, Dance Holidays will invite you to be our guest to a drink.

Free time: We encourage you to explore the local area and make use of the excellent hotel facilities. This can be done when you please around the activities and dance classes that we have organized for you. Your tour host will be on hand for any queries you may have about the local area.

The Line Dance Socials will be filled endless fun, laughter and practice and dance what you learned so far. Maggie G. loves to mix with the crowd and will cater the party games and music to your tastes.

All the evening line dancing takes place in a private room in your fabulous four star hotel.

What to wear for dancing: We recommend that you bring comfortable leather sole shoes, dance trainers for the classes and Socials. Your shoes should be comfortable and supportive. Wear lightweight cotton socks to avoid sweaty and blistered feet!

Wear comfortable loose clothing for the classes and the evenings. The dress code at night is pretty informal.
