DANCE VACATION IN BALI: July 21st - 28th 2012

The Indonesian island of Bali has been awarded on the top 10 list of best destinations in the world. In 2004 Tineke already organised a very successful dance tour for a group of Japanese folk dancers (see flashback).
This time the tour will be open for international attendance.

Bali Dance Vacation offers classes with two renowned folk dance teachers:
Yves Moreau from Canada (Bulgarian) and Tineke van Geel from The Netherlands (Armenian). It also aims to blend this activity with a pleasant vacation on the beautiful Indonesian island of Bali.

The tour is open to folk dancers (and partners) from all over the world, and all dance classes, guided tours and correspondence will be in English.

TOUR PRICE: € 875

SPECIAL GROUP RATE - GROUPS OF 6 AND MORE (before November 15th 2011): € 800
provided 1 person will act as contact person for registration.
Bali, and especially Ubud, where we will stay, is a very popular destination. Since we will visit in peak season, we will need to confirm our reservation early. This is why participants who book early will receive a € 50 discount. Most airlines start booking their 2012 flights from December 1, 2011. Make sure to check and book early to take advantage of cheaper seats!
ACCOMMODATION AND PROGRAM

We will stay at Ananda Cottages (www.anandaubud.com), a beautiful setting on the outskirts of Ubud.
All cottages are in Balinese style and have twin or double beds, air conditioning and bathroom.

BALI
Bali is one of the world's most popular island destinations and one that consistently wins travel awards. It has a varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides. The Balinese have maintained their colourful, deeply spiritual and unique culture. The island not only offers a large number of cultural, historical and archaeological attractions, but is also well known for its excellent surfing, diving and rafting.

OPTION TO EXTEND YOUR STAY

Participants travelling from far away: you will have the option of extending your stay in Sanur, a seaside resort with lovely sandy beaches and excellent swimming. Located on the east coast of Bali, Sanur is quieter than the busy resorts on the west coast, where the sea is rougher and strong undercurrents make swimming dangerous. It has also resisted the change seen in other areas of Bali and kept its atmosphere of tradition and culture.

During your extended stay in Sanur no dance classes or excursions will be offered. There is a list of suggested accommodation which enables you to plan your own extension.
Excursions can easily be booked through local travel agents. You will find more detailed information in the program.
