Dance Holiday in Paradise
Week 1 - May 20th - 27th
Week 2 - June 3rd - 10th
World Dances cover a range of contrasting styles and moods of dances in a circle - also known as Circle Dance. This course is open both to beginners and experienced dancers. At all levels you will find a relaxed and supportive learning environment. A beguiling blend of contemporary and traditional dances to music from all continents will be introduced. The course incorporates a grounding in Greek dances, which culminates in dancing with local island dancers after their performance. For over 10 years Bethan and Stefan's World Dance courses have attracted an international mix of participants from UK, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Canada, USA and Brazil.
This is early in the season; a wonderful time for swimming in the crystal clear sea. The warmth of the sun is modified by a light coastal breeze so the temperature is perfect.
The programme includes performance, and dance tuition from Voula and Katerina, charismatic young Parian dancers.
Dance classes will be held in an attractive dance hall with wooden floor, air conditioning and quadrophonic sound system.

Here's what one 2015 dancer said:
" Just a note to say a very big 'thank you' for giving us a 'Greek experience' on Paros which we will always remember with pleasure.
Having a harmony singing group alongside the dancing was inspirational and much enjoyed.
All the other activities arranged for us, the car hire for visits and lunches out, the Bazantine walk and of course the wonderful evening at Marissa for the Dance Festival made it a truly memorable visit to Paros.
The position of the hotel was lovely and the staff so helpful.
We danced 'Sunset Over Naxos' and 'Sailing to Paros' with Hazel Young in Thornbury just last Monday, the dances had a whole new meaning for us!
Long may you have the energy and patience to continue these events!"
