Become a strictly come dancing star

Cha Cha Cha like Craig Revel Horwood
If you have spent your Saturday nights a gasp at the exploits of Chris Hollins and his partner Ola Jordan, and applauding over Matthew Cutler’s leaps and Lilia Kopylrova spins. Then you are suffering from what is commonly known as the ‘the strictly some dancing bug’, the cure for which can only be ‘to dance like crazy’.
“But how?” you might ask. Well; you can either check to see if your local community centre offers classes, or your local church or school and another way is to opt for one of our dancing holidays. Many of the 2 or 3 star hotels around the country offer these breaks and are happy to discuss options with you. The reason why dancing is so popular, other than it’s new found fame through strictly come dancing, is that it is good for you and fun all at the same time.
Loads of holiday organisers now offer ‘beginners learn to dance weekends’ including ourselves and they are usually over 3 nights, they allow you to train in the day and try your hand (or rather feet) at a range of well-known dance steps.
Dancing weekends cover the tuition of everything from the foxtrot and quickstep to the tango and Cha Cha, and are organised by professional ex dancers that give you the confidence to try and try again.
You get to practice your dance steps every evening after an afternoon tea and always have your teacher on hand to offer you any advice. It is a great way to build both your dancing and personal confidence in the safety of a supportive atmosphere, all the dancers around you are in the same boat, so it’s all just great fun.
Two of our own hotels that offer Ballroom & Latin for beginners are the Victoria 2 star hotel and the Toorak 3 star hotels in Torquay.
We’ll leave you with a wonderful video of Lisa and Brendan dancing in strictly come dancing 2008. This is the Cha Cha Cha as mentioned in the title, and we promise that any kind of dancing holiday will leave you feeling as great, if not better than you feel watching the lovely Brendan shimmy around the floor.
