Sequence Dance and Dancing Holidays Abroad

Some of the best places to find Sequence dances and dancing abroad are those areas with previous British connections, and ex-pat British populations. Malta, Gibraltar, and Cyprus in Europe, and places like New Zealand, Australia and parts of Canada. The Spanish Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca both have big enough ex-pat populations to support some sequence dancing, but it looks like the hey-days of Sequence dancing in nearly every hotel on the Costas as part of the winter package is over. As of 2007 season, most, if not all of the leaders used by the large tour companies will not be leading on or in the Spanish Costa and Balearics Hotels.

As at February 2007, the only hotel in Benidorm confirmed as having sequence dancing for the winter 2007 season is the Benidorm Plaza, where we understand the current leaders are likely to be retained by the hotel management directly. The Plaza already operates a "priority to guests" policy, some tables being reserved for guests of the hotel, the forecast is this policy may be extended further as demand outstrips supply. If Sequence Dance is important to you as part of your holiday, we can only suggest you ask your travel agent or company to confirm it will be available. See update on Thomson Holidays below
