Dancing connects people around the world. It is one of the most unique (and fun!) ways to experience new places and to interact with locals. It is a medium through which people express themselves, relive their history and it provides endless entertainment.
For many cultures, dance is the center of life, whether it is at a home gathering or an annual festival. As a traveler, it’s easy to encounter dance anywhere, as long as you keep an open mind and are not afraid to interact with strangers. In many areas, locals are proud to share their customs and traditions, including homemade cuisine, lifestyle and dancing.
When you travel, plan your trip around local dance festival like Carnaval in Brazil or stick to something more intimate by visiting a local flamenco show in Sevilla, Spain. Better yet, sign up for classes, learn to waltz in Vienna, Austria and then practice your new skills at a grand ball or head to Buenos Aires and find a tango club and then head to a plaza to show off your new moves. The experience will bring an unforgettable element to your travel experience.
