Our story

Discover the world through dance

Dance Travelling was born with a simple idea: to discover the world through dance. We organise trips where you can learn the rhythms in their place of origin, get to know the surrounding culture and share the experience with other travellers passionate about music and movement. Each destination is an opportunity to experience dance in a different way: learn with local teachers, dance in the places where that rhythm was born and discover the country from the inside. Our goal is for you to be able to learn the dance in the place where it was born, surrounded by the culture and music that make it unique.

How Dance Travelling was born

Dance Travelling was born from the union of three great passions: travelling, dancing, and connecting with other cultures. After years of travelling the world and having unforgettable experiences, a very simple idea arose: what if other people could also discover each dance from the place where it was born? Thus began the first trips, designed together with local teachers, artists and collaborators to offer authentic experiences, where dance is the gateway to learning about the history, music, gastronomy and essence of each destination. Because at Dance Travelling, we don't just aim to teach new dance steps. We want each trip to allow participants to understand the culture that gave rise to each rhythm and create connections that last long after returning home.

Who is behind Dance Travelling

Dance Travelling was created by Silvia, who is passionate about travel and dance. After travelling to over 60 countries, she discovered that the best way to get to know a culture was by living it from the inside, spending time with local people and learning from those who keep it alive. It was during a trip to Cuba that she realised learning a dance in the place where it was born completely transformed the experience. Understanding the origin of salsa, its history and the way music is lived forever changed her understanding of dance. From that experience, Dance Travelling was born: a project that seeks to bring to others the opportunity to discover each dance through its culture, its history and the people who give it life. Today, Dance Travelling brings together travellers from different countries who share the same way of understanding travel: discovering the world through dance, culture and the people who make each destination unique.

Coordinator

The role of the coordinator

On every Dance Travelling trip, the group has a coordinator, who accompanies the group during the trip and is responsible for organising activities, facilitating group dynamics, and ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience. The coordinator also helps participants connect with each other and integrate into the local culture, creating a friendly atmosphere that allows the group to experience the trip in a more authentic way. In many cases, Silvia is the one who personally accompanies the group during their trip.

Dance Travelling isn't just a dance trip. It's a way of discovering the world from the inside, connecting with the people, music, and culture of each destination. Each trip is a blend of learning, adventure, and shared moments that make the experience go far beyond dance classes.
