The Best Private Trips To Book For Your Dance Class

Planning a field trip for your dance school? Whether you want them to experience the rhythm of South America first-hand, or appreciate the power of dance in tribal communities, book one of these Culture Trip itineraries as a private tour.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Flamenco dancer performing in the magnificent Plaza de Espana, Seville, Spain

City Hopping in Spain by Train

Flamenco is one of the most fascinating forms of dance to study. Brimming with fiery passion and sharp movements; it’s a pretty unique spectacle. From expressive usage of the arms to the rigid angles of the dancer’s back, and the rhythmic stamping of feet, the skillset required to master this art form is impressive. Most importantly, it extends to dramatic performance. No flamenco dance can be considered authentic without simmering emotional intensity, after all. The dance was born in the narrow streets of Seville’s Triana neighbourhood, which we’ll explore on this cultural odyssey through the heartland of central and southern Spain. As well as touring Seville and gorging on tapas in Triana, you’ll also get the opportunity to visit a live flamenco show in the place where it truly belongs. Now that is an experience you will never forget.

Maasai Mara men in traditional colorful clothing showing traditional Maasai jumping dance in a Masai village, Kenya

Immersive Kenya

To dig deeper into the true, inherently human powers of expression through dance, it’s probably best to escape the high-flying world of ball-season and searching out something a little more instinctive. Perhaps the best example of the ways in which people use their bodies to communicate specific emotions can be found in tribal dances. In the remote Maasai villages of the Maasai Mara you can find tribal communities that still live largely detached from modern civilisation. Day six of our Kenya trip is dedicated solely to experiencing village life first hand, and the highlight of the day is without doubt the chance to witness Adumu, a traditional jumping dance performed by Maasai warriors. The dance is a pure expression of physicality and power, thought to have originated as an actual training method for young warriors. It’s simple, but awe-inspiring live. A group of warriors gather in a circle and are accompanied by songs and tribal chanting. The aim is jump as high, as powerfully, and as perfectly straight as possible, with warriors judged on endurance as well as the heights they reach. The vibrant colours of their outfits, the spiritual nature of the music and the striking physical prowess on show makes this a truly profound dance experience.
