New to Holidays for Dancers these breaks are for all standards of dancers who want to learn technique, floorcraft, choreography from world class lectures and masterclasses. Carole and I have selected the very best from the world of dancing and each has been chosen for their unique presentation to ensure you retain as much of the information as possible.
Learn and Improve weekends are part of a long term programme of holidays specifically designed to gradually develop your skills in each genre. Dancers will have the option to book into the next weekend where your learning this time will be continued in progressive planned development, or you can join us for individual weekends that suit you.
All the lectures & masterclasses are tailored to each group's ability.
We have chosen a central venue for these breaks to minimise journey time for all our clients around the country. Somerset Hall in the centre of town (with excellent adjacent parking) is a fine first floor venue where Carole and I host 30 dances a year. The floor is exceptional and can be set up and divided to allow two groups to enjoy masterclasses.
There is no 'traditional' hotel in Portishead so we are using a Premier Inn which is 10 mins walk from the venue or 2 mins in the car. We accept this is not ideal, but dancers, it is becoming ever more difficult to find good hotels with sizeable ballrooms. By 2010 we are hopeful our new portable floor will resolve these issues.

Hear what our dancers say......
We found Flavia & Vincent amusing, friendly, professional, approachable and able to answer our questions or problems so that we understood exactly what they meant – even if we did not produce the results exactly correctly! We loved them
Marion & Michael
We have already emailed regarding what a superb weekend and dancing experience enjoyed by our 4some. Since we are still talking and thinking about it, especially the techniques and figures given by Vincent & Flavia we are happy to add some more comments. The special part must be Vincent & Flavia as a couple teaching the techniques to top standards. The itinerary of the cabaret show was another experience that made it greater than our expectations.
Su & Martin
Once again another fantastic weekend! We all had such a brilliant time and I can’t wait for the next one in October. The two holidays that we have spent with Vincent & Flavia have been the most amazing experiences – to be taught by them, and have the privilege of watching them dance in such an intimate group. They are both extremely good teachers and warm and friendly people and it was lovely to be there and have a laugh with them again. It would be so sad if we could not do another ‘V&F weekend’ – please use all of your charm to book them next year.
Julie
The tuition from Vincent & Flavia was superb, natural with humour, and we have learnt new elements which we would not have done otherwise.
Robin and Trish
Thank you for a fantastic weekend, Vincent & Flavia were on form and pitched the master classes so everybody learnt from them, no matter what level of dancer they were.
Lindsay & Kathryn
It is hard to describe to anyone just how good the weekend was, Vincent & Flavia were superb, the master classes were very good for us and of course their cabaret was stunning.
