FIRST CLASS FUN! This was one of the best adventures I've been on in my life. Ari and Christine organized and led an amazing touring and dance adventure based around two balls in Munich. We had excellent ball room dancing lessons and tours of Munich, experienced German dance and culinary culture and toured castles in Bavaria. We had a great group of people who enjoyed each other's company and who shared the love of dancing. There's plenty of free time for you to explore on your own and you can make your own schedule regardless. If you like ball room dancing and like to travel to amazing locations, experience the local culture and meet new people, Worldwide Dance Adventures is for you.

I had an outstanding time.
Combining my favorite things to do: travel, dance, and meeting new and wonderful people was ideal.
I loved the variety and top notch clubs, cafes, and restaurants. The hotel was perfect ! Even the excessive photos (jazz hands) were lovely. My only critique would be a little more guidance/navigation on some of the more challenging destinations outside the city. Possibly a bit more advice on appropriate attire for evenings..I packed all the wrong things.. but live and learn. I look forward to joining you again for future adventures. Especially Vienna… 💯 in !

What a lovely Trip! I always love Ari and Christine's classes. This was also Christine's hometown and she delivered! We got the best food, tour and experience recommendations. We got the best balls. We even had tables at both balls to sit at. And the Arabian Nights ball was absolutely magical.

This trip was very fun & educational - we had dancing every day, walks & tours around the old city, planned lunches & dinners. Those at the hotel met in the mornings for breakfast. The hotel was a 5 Star. The people were fun and personable. The instructors were engaging and taught us many genres of dance - each day preparing us for that night of dancing. For example, Blues was taught on Blues night at a local nightclub, Salsa was taught on the day of Salsa dancing in the evening. AND ... we learned local folk dances at a community center, and in class - to "perform" on the waltz floor at midnight with 100s of others. We also had free time to take the train/bus anywhere in Germany! We went to a castle together. Get ready for lots of walking and eating! The cuisine and cultural experience is a vacation of a life-time!

It was the perfect fit for us since we love to dance and Carnival/Costume celebrations like Halloween and Day of the Dead. The teacher was very good and they brought local dancers to supplement our lack of male dancers which was a big upgrade for the trip since we had quality dancing and teaching. We had a great time and loved the Casa de La Noche for the first 5 or 6 nights. The last two nights in La Finca Devocion was very disapointing and not on par with our expectations nor the other hotel. They promised to have hot springs and hot tub and neither worked for either of the two nights we were there==the water was cold when we tried both days. There was nothing else to do there so we took a taxi to San Miguel both for food and activities. We did not receive the value expected for this part of the trip. The accomodations were also lacking in amenities and was certainly not a luxury place or worth the money paid. We loved the planned activities but would have preferred more free time. The organizers did not originally make reservations at restaurants and dance clubs even though it was high season so they had to improvise which we think impacted the quality of the trip.
