We have had the pleasure of hosting dance breaks throughout the UK for 10 years.  Our breaks are renowned for providing a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, quality workshops with a well organised professional approach.

Each break has a full program of evening dances, morning dance workshops and guided walks, but we also make sure you have free time to explore the local area or make use of the hotel facilities.  You can do as much or as little as you like and with limited numbers (based on the size of the ballroom) there is plenty of opportunity to get to know your fellow guests and more importantly have plenty of room to dance.

A typical morning starts with a post-breakfast dance workshop in the ballroom, then the option of joining us on one of Phil’s low level walks.  Using his agricultural science background, he’ll open your eyes to the local area focusing on conservation, ecology and geology.  No two walks are ever the same!

The evening dances are a mixture of sequence, ballroom, latin and argentine tango.  There is usually be a black tie gala dance and a themed night depending on the length of the stay.  All levels from beginner to professional are welcome and we tailor-make the programme according to the ability and preferences of the group.

Reserve your place with a deposit (non refundable) of only £50 per person.
