Holiday Overview

This holiday is ideal for all standards of dancers, but has a more, 'relaxed and laid back' atmosphere during the evening dancing (8.30pm - 10.30pm) because the programme is split equally between Popular Sequence and Ballroom/Latin. We seek information from all our dancers on these breaks if they have Modern Sequence dances in their repertoire and we include their choices within the sequence part of the dance programme. We have many sequence only dancers on our Especially for Tea Dancers breaks because they find the 50/50 split ideally suits their energy levels and watching others dance in-between sequence (and listening to different music from their normal genre) is relaxing and pleasant and enhances the overall experience.

The nature of our guests on these breaks is extremely friendly and the entire holiday turns into a very social and informal occasion and as such, dancers repeat book and so friendships form and the circle begins to grow and grow... If you want a relaxing break, with good home cooked food and a selection of dancing in the evening, Especially for Tea dancers breaks in January and December are the break for you.
