Traveling and dancing, two passions finally united
You can travel to see the top restaurants of the world, the best art galleries , the monuments more striking... but what if we traveled to practice our favorite dances in the places where they were born?
That's what Ruth and Marta propose, the girls from ** TravelToDance ,** two backpackers who met on an untouristy island in Thailand and that, upon returning to their home in Barcelona, they maintained their friendship. "One Friday having dinner, talking about trips, teachers in Guatemala and Cuba to practice on future trips, the idea was born. And why not dance on vacation with other dancing travelers?", they tell us.
Under this premise, his agency, who already has several scheduled trips: London to learn Lindy Hop -this is now in its fourth edition-, Argentina to practice tango, to Lisbon to improve your skills in kizomba -which goes for the third-, to Cuba to discover the Caribbean rhythms... We ask you to tell us a little about the latter, which will start in november.

"We offer the option of one or two week route . Based on the two-week route, which is what we recommend for get to know the Cuban culture well , there is a total of eight hours of class . four hours in Havana , Two hours in Viñales and two hours in Trinidad", they explain. "At night, we went out to dance to places where there is live music and a lot of Local people enjoying the dance. This allows us to practice what he learned with people who carry salsa on their bodies. Throughout the route, we will visit Havana, Viñales, Cayo Jutías, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Clara and Cayo Santa Maria."
In their travels, they have responsible tourism and cultural immersion as a flag, they always reserve time to show the most characteristic of each enclave, but they also offer free time almost every day, "for those who want to spend a few hours on your own , be encouraged to ask an extra class or want to make one visit or excursion different from those already included in the trip", they explain. "We like to offer flexibility and travel to the rhythm set by the group".
No matter what level you have: you will enjoy
To achieve this flexibility, the groups that manage n of six people minimum to 20 maximum , always accompanied by someone from the TravelToDance team, who coordinates everyone's needs and concerns. "We like to travel with small groups, to whom to offer not only a route, but an experience. This also allows people traveling strike up a friendship and join in future trips and in local hangouts to keep dancing."
Yes indeed, previous experience does not matter you have: the teachers, with whom Marta and Ruth themselves they have taken classes -or that have been recommended to them by other experts they trust- distribute the lessons in such a way that they adapt to all levels . "In the web form you will have to indicate your dance level, and you can also indicate if it is the first time What do you try this discipline? We will study the forms of each trip so that all participants enjoy to the fullest of the classes according to their level", clarify those responsible.
