Dance Workshops

 

One of the highlights of MetaMovements Dance Adventures is seeing our travelers’ skills transform in such a short time! Each day will include two or more hours of classes in bachata, merengue, dembow and salsa with renowned artists from Las Terrenas and international guest instructors. Workshops will explore history, body movement, styling, partnerwork and technique and will be divided into levels or styles when needed to ensure maximum enjoyment and learning for all participants!

Cultural Exchange Excursions

 

Participate in special excursions that go beyond the typical tourist experience, immersing you in the unique culture and beauty of the Dominican Republic. This year’s planned events include a visit to a hidden waterfall, a “day in the life” visit and typical meal at one of our host’s family’s homes, a walking tour of Las Terrenas and a sunset beachside dinner. Add-on excursions are available too!

Dance Parties

 

Each evening we will join our instructors, dance hosts and the Las Terrenas community at their favorite venues to extend the learning from your workshops and private lessons. This community loves variety, so you will enjoy bachata, merengue and salsa of many styles, as well as fun “animaciones” and more! Social dancing in LT is amazing and an essential ingredient of your Dance Adventure transformation!

Pre-Program

Arrive a day or two early to Santo Domingo if that better fits your dates off work or helps you get the flights you like the best. We can arrange a place to stay near the airport or in the beautiful Colonial Zone, and we can arrange private lessons, dance outings, or excursions with our team there if you wish.

 

Post-Program

Stay a few days longer to continue training with MMRD Collective Members, and/or to explore other aspects of the island with one of our personalized excursion packages.

Not Included

    • We can make recommendations at no cost or book for you for a $45 fee.

  • Food & drinks (Beyond those listed above.)

  • Tips & Gratuities

    • For local servers, bartenders, artists, hosts, drivers, house-keepers.

  • Airport transfers for your return

    • Since many travelers want the freedom to depart on different days and from different airports, we are not including the return transfer. We can assist you in selecting and booking your preferred transfer if you wish. It will be cheaper and more fun if you coordinate your flights with others, so let us know if you would like help with that as well.

  • Guaranteed roommate for each traveler

    • If you sign up with a roommate and both request each other, we will put you together! If you are traveling solo, we can check if there is someone else who wants a roommate, or you can select the single upgrade!
