"Mexico Dance-Adventure Retreat" is the ultimate in dance adventures -- a truly incredible blend of travel, play, & learning!
The week is specifically designed for dancers who not only want to experience the tropical beauty & splendor of Mexico's Pacific Nayarit coastline, but who would also love to do so in the company of a fun group of like-minded fellow dancers & travel-adventurers!
During Mexico Dance Week, we use the seaside village of Chacala as our veritable playground -- relaxing, taking in the casual vibe, exploring the region's natural beauty, enjoying unique local dining & dancing opportunities, attending dance classes together, and spending a portion of each day engaged in some kind of fun outdoor 'adventure'. This might include snorkeling, swimming, or boogie boarding on a local beach; exploring the petroglyphs at Altavista; hiking or horseback riding to "Las Cuevas" beach; soaking in the local hot springs; visiting the weekly "La Penita" market; dining & dancing to live music at the local restaurants & on the beach.
The dance classes will be Latin flavored (salsa, cha cha, rumba, merengue, bachata, and tango, PLUS optional blues, swing, fusion, ballroom and other styles at the groups discretion) with an emphasis on connection, fun & playfull combo's, and effortless partnering.
There are also numerous fun activities that you can do on your own, from relaxing on the beach, birding, enjoying a morning stretch on the huge Palapa-covered deck, engaging with the wonderful people who live here, swimming in the calm bay, taking a yoga class, soaking in the ocean-view infinity-edge pool, enjoying a margarita with toes in the sand, learning spanish with a local tutor, or volunteering for a few hours at a local school. The sky's the limit!
