Jay Jay Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I am thinking of booking a summer school overseas next year so DH and I can get a holiday while DS gets to dance! Anyone got any tips/recommendations? Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Dar Danse summer schools are held in Morocco and I think are advertised as a summer school/holiday in one. I believe their website is bubbleonthebeach but perhaps if you Google Dar Danse that would be better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 How old is he, what level is he at and what sort of holiday would you like ?! (City/beach ?) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Dar Danse in Morocco is AMAZING!! Good food, pool, beach, fabulous rooms, amazing teachers! We’ve been twice now and had an amazing time each time! DD absolutely loves going. They’ve even got their own camel for camel rides!! DD dancing and DH and I watching the whole week! Absolute heaven on earth. We’ve even extended each time by having another week in Essaouira in a Rhiad. Would definitely recommend 🌞💖❤️🐪🌴 Edited April 22, 2018 by Dancing unicorn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I too would second Dar Danse. Francesa & her family are amazing people. So far I haven't made it over there, but DD attended many of the Wells Weeks in UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLou Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I keep getting a ‘suggested post’ from Estonia International Ballet School on my Facebook page. It looks very interesting, but I’d never heard of it. Anyone any experience of this summer school? Sorry to hijack your thread JayJay - don’t think this one would be any use to you as it’s for ages 16+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Look at Dance Europe site for lists of schools and companies that have summer schools. We’ve had family holidays around summer schools. Princess Grace in Monoco, we holidayed in southern France whilst dd danced. She’s also done Royal Danish and Royal Antwerp whilst we’ve holidayed locally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good chance for DD to practice her French (at the shops, for example)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We had a few days in Biarritz last summer, not dance related, but can thoroughly recommend the place as a holiday destination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
