THE PROGRAMME
“Spanish & Latin Dance” presents the language and dance world of the Dominican Republic. In the mornings, the participants tackle Spanish vocabularies. In the afternoons, professional dance instructors teach them the steps and passionate body language of the typical local Latin dances: Merengue, Bachata, and Dominican Salsa.
The programme is available at both IIC schools. Spanish classes take place at IIC. The dance classes are taught by professional dance teachers in local dance academies. The dance schools are max. 20 min by public transportation from IIC.
The programme has a modular structure: Every regular 20 lesson-Spanish course can be mixed with any dance course. So you can create your individual programme package, if you like as well with lodging and/or airport pick-up.
