Top 6 singles' dancing holidays
Want to indulge your passion for dance, but travelling solo? Our singles' dancing holidays are the answer. Whether you’re a complete beginner, or already have some experience but want to develop your skills, these trips are a great way to enjoy rapid progression in the company of like-minded new friends. You can find holidays that focus on one style of dance, such as tango or flamenco, or where you have a choice of many different styles. Then you can opt for holidays that provide group classes, or more intensive one-on-one lessons. Whichever route you go, expect superb tuition from expert local tutors, and a wealth of nightspots where you and your fellow students can practise your moves every evening.
