In considering our dance programme maybe you are not quite certain about your own dance standard and whether it would be suitable for the different holidays on offer. Let us reassure you, we believe that our successful format of dancing in the evening, often with demonstrations, plus daily or maybe early evening ‘Learn & Improve sessions’ are absorbing, enjoyable, worthwhile and suitable for all levels whether Beginner or coming Champion. We tend to categorise dancing into the following areas:

SOCIAL DANCING This includes people such as Leisure Dancers who dance very occasionally maybe at dinner dances or on holiday and continues through to the Hobby Dancer who is more enthusiastic and dances weekly, possibly attending classes or lessons and sometimes continues through to medallist training. Within this category are early stage dancers (can be called Beginners) and to us this usually means those who have been dancing approx. 12 months or maybe returning to dance: ‘Learn & Improve sessions’ at our packages tend to be presented in separate sessions: early stage / intermediate & beyond.

LEARN TO DANCE Please see special programme for those who cannot dance or maybe wish to return and update – download or send for leaflet.

COMPETITIVE DANCING Covers a wide category from relatively inexperienced to very experienced of a high standard. The majority of the holidays detailed are suitable for all whether social or competitive. If you would like further guidance or reassurance please do not hesitate to telephone, email or write to Philip Wylie who will be pleased to help to ensure a happy dancing experience.
