About us
Provider of worldwide dance breaks
Club Dance Holidays is run by a dedicated and enthusiastic team of travel and dance professionals, offering worldwide Dance breaks as well as other activity breaks under the Club Free Spirit umbrella.
We aim to put the fun back into life. With our breaks, the focus is on new experiences, new places, new people, learning new skills and fun. We combine our dance programmes with good music, sociable activities, nights out and the chance to explore some great destinations.
Our dance breaks are a great way to learn something new or build on your existing dance skills. We work with some of the top teachers from the UK and abroad and with destinations ranging from sunny Eastbourne to Spain's Costa Brava to Cuba and Buenos Aires, we offer something for everyone. Our holidays are designed to inspire, teach and motivate whilst providing the opportunity to meet new friends and create lasting memories.
The Teachers
Our dance professionals are the heart of what we do. Choose your skill level – the fun is the same whether you're just starting out or have been dancing for years. We work with some of the dance world’s best loved faces - including competition winners, TV stars and festival organisers. Most importantly, they’re chosen to be as friendly and as passionate about dance as you.
Your classes will include tips on how to continue with your dancing when you return home and we hope that, like us, you'll catch the bug.
The number of classes included in your holiday will vary depending on the specific holiday you have chosen. For any queries regarding classes please ask us.
