Do you want to inspire and motivate your students? Open their eyes to international opportunities? Expose them to the international dance scene where they can learn from the world’s leading instructors/choreographers?

An invaluable way to inspire and motivate your students is to take them on a dance tour. Let them see and experience dance in new and exciting environments, such as Los Angeles, New York, Disney World, London or Paris. What an opportunity!

Give your students the experience of professional classes, theatre and performances in the world’s dance hubs, where they could one day be dancing as a professional. Take them off the barre and into the world where they can enjoy dance on another level.
Dance Around the World travel specialists allow dance teachers to organise such trips for their dance groups with ease.  With 27 years in the travel industry and group travel area, specialising in dance, Dance Around the World are the dance group travel specialists. They offer performance opportunities and workshop experiences around the world, with tailor made itineraries.

With well established global partners Dance Around the World can offer group trips to such places as Disney World, Florida. A trip can include performance opportunities at Disneyland, workshops and classes with Disney professionals and participation in the Main Street Parade. It can also involve Cruise Ship performances, and even performance opportunities at Universal Studios. Dance events are combined with fun group activities such as visits to other Disney theme parks and tourist experiences such as factory outlet shopping trips, sightseeing, and sporting events. These trips create lasting memories and open up a world of opportunity to dancers. Students never forget the experience and it can give them the confidence to venture internationally for dance opportunities as they develop their careers.

Ros Cochrane, Groups Manager says, “I very much enjoy the groups that travel with us - this opportunity has given many people their first trip overseas which is very exciting! It provides a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their talents on the world stage and provides opportunities for further development through international professional classes and workshops. It also builds lasting friendships within the dance studio involved and is a great social networking tool.”

Dance Around the World offers a full professional service which includes consultation with the studio director to build the itinerary, meetings with the dancers and parents and collection of payments, as well as fundraising assistance. They also have a full travel consulting service for those wishing to extend their stay after the dance tour and whilst on tour provide an experienced professional tour director to accompany the group. They organise every aspect of the dance tour, including auditions for performances. The tour director accompanies the group to run the activities on a day to day basis, ensuring the dance principals can enjoy their time away with the students without stress.

Dance Around the World’s tours are so fantastic that they enjoy much repeat business with many dance studios organising tours with them every two or three years.

Popular tour destinations include New York where

dancers can enjoy workshops at Broadway Dance
Center, Rockettes master classes at Radio City, workshops at Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, a “meet the artist” program at the Lincoln Center, Broadway shows and behind the scenes tours of Broadway theatres.

Dance tours to LA are also in demand. Dance Around the World organises trips to Disneyland and participation in the Disneyland Main Street Parade, classes at The Edge Performing Arts Center, Millennium Dance Complex and Stella Adler Acting Academy, with dance competition opportunities available.
And if you fancy a dance trip to the UK, tours to London can be organised with dance and singing workshops at the prestigious Pineapple Studios Covent Garden, behind the scenes tours of West End Shows, evening West End and Ballet performances and student performance opportunities at the Bluewater Shopping Complex. This can be combined with sightseeing including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and more.

France is also a popular group dance destination. Dance Around the World can arrange performances at Paris Disneyland, a visit to the Moulin Rouge and workshops and classes. Other destinations also include Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong, and Dance Around the World can organise a huge variety of dance tours to suit your needs.

A dance tour is such a fantastic way to take your students’ learning out of the studio and into the dance world. However, as there is so much organisation and responsibility, it can be an overwhelming task! If you can hand the work over to the professionals and just enjoy the experience with your students, it can be much easier and much more enjoyable for all. Why not give Dance Around the World a call and discuss the opportunities? Your students will forever thank you!
