Salsa Immersion in Puerto Vallarta with Liz: New Year's Eve 2010; Mon. Dec. 27, 2010 thru Mon. Jan. 3, 2011

Imagine the best vacation of your life: New Year’s and salsa dancing in Mexico! Immerse yourself in the joys of Latin dancing at one of the most beautiful and arts-oriented locales in Latin America, Casa de los Artistas, near Puerto Vallarta. Salsa dancing will be our main focus, and we’ll also enjoy a little merengue and cumbia on the side. Whether you have only dreamed of salsa dancing or you have a little experience, you'll learn lots of exhilarating salsa in this immersion week. No partner or dance experience is needed. If you already know a little salsa, you will get a good review and definitely learn some fun new moves.

After a delicious breakfast, you'll enjoy three hours of salsa classes every morning. Then get ready for a mouthwatering Mexican lunch prepared by the wonderful Casa chef Ruby and her assistants. Take the afternoons to enjoy exciting excursions provided by your hosts, or go on your own to explore the incredible natural beauty, beaches, local culture, cafés and shops, or just take a siesta in your private ocean-side room.

After dinner, enjoy an evening of dancing: one of three review and practice sessions, a dance party with the local folks on the premises, and a night out at the salsa club with a live band. And you'll also be spending an unforgettable New Year's Eve in Mexico!
