In June Malta will be home to the Summer International Dance Festival. Held from June 5-19, this entertaining event offers dance classes by international dancers. For those who like to mix and mingle with celebrities, this event is the ideal place. Visitors to Malta during this time will be able to dance the night away on the beach. They can also attend dance concerts and even take place in casting calls for dancers.
One hotel in Malta has scheduled guest appearances by two of the show's dancers for 2009. Guests can interact with the pair, James and Olga Jordan. There is a question and answer section and a workshop where they teach dance moves and techniques. This is part of a seven-day dance vacations promotion. These new dance holidays are geared towards beginning dancers as well as experienced ones. The workshops are ideal for helping vacationers improve their moves.
Dance vacations are not age specific either, as everyone is getting into ballroom dancing. Young people and seniors are taking up the activity. Most of the dancing is of the social variety and suited for any formal occasion. Dance holidays are varied so that different groups will find the ones more suited for their age group or interest. These vacations can help anyone find their inner dancer who can twirl and spin with the best of them.
Since "Strictly Come Dancing" hit the BBC in 2004, dancing took on new life. People seemed to develop a new zeal for ballroom and Latin dances. Various versions of the show are now aired in over 30 countries worldwide. In many areas of Europe, there are now dance classes available for all levels of dancers. In Malta there is even wheelchair dancing as everyone catches the dancing fever.
The winners of the 2004 season of "Strictly Come Dancing" were partners Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole. The 2008 series final saw dancers Tom Chambers and Camilla Dallerup taking the top honors. Each pair of dancers in the reality show has one professional dancer who is paired with a celebrity partner.
The reason given for the resurgence of dancing in relation to these shows is the desire to increase activity levels. In some cases, the dancers want to enjoy doing something different. An added bonus to dance holidays in Malta is that one can learn without feeling self-conscious. Just about everyone in the workshops and on the dance floors is at the same stage of learning to dance. Plus everyone is there for one thing, to do what their dancing idols do: have fun on the dance floor.
Most dance vacation holiday packages are the complete deal. They include airfare, hotel accommodations and sightseeing tours in addition to the dancing workshops and sessions. The current economic crisis is having little impact on these types of vacations. This is partly due to the uniqueness of the experience offered, as well as the fact that the vacations are reasonably priced.
