1. Cuba – last spots in the salsa festival
Only two weeks to go! A small international group from „Danza y
Movimiento“, lead by our Cuban tour guide, is getting ready for the 2009
salsa festival in Havana. (Our groups are always small, so that we can insure
–even in groups- that the individual isn’t overlooked.) Feel like joining us?
You can find all the important info here:

2. Italy – the new tango courses are online
The news that there was room only for one additional couple in the course
offered by Joseba Pagola and Bakartxo Arabaolaza from San Sebastián had
already appeared in the announcement of our Italian partner – and the course
takes place from the 11th to the 18th of September, 2010! So, if you’re
interested in the course, sign up quick - you’ll also get a special price.
It’s also worth taking a look at the other courses, and soon! Besides the fact
that the number of participants is limited, the current prices are valid only for
bookings made before the 30th of November. After that, the prices will be
raised by about 10%.
You’ll find the complete program here:

Not mentioned on our site, however, is the course with Joseba Pagola &
Bakartxo Arabaolaza. If you’re interested contact us through our form:

3. Spain – first reactions to our new program
Madrid has a comfortable, mild climate at this time of year. Our program for
dance, Spanish and culture has received it’s first comments, for example:
„I found the week in Madrid very beautiful; the city and the people were very
nice and friendly...The focus of my trip was the dance course, which I really
enjoyed. I received a lot of help and advice for improvement during the
private lessons with a few very experienced dancers – who were also great
teachers! In the groups, I connected very quickly with some local people and
through them heard about the best milongas. Going dancing was also great
and I definitely got my money’s worth :-)
I found the introduction to flamenco great. Even though I won’t continue
with it back at home, I think it simply belongs to a trip to Spain, to have had a
few flamenco lessons and to get a feeling for this most „Spanish“ of dances
directly and locally.“

German at the moment)

Lastly, a tip: If you’re planning to spend New Year’s in the context of one of
our (dance) offers, don’t leave it too late to make your plans concrete...
Best regards from Hamburg
