2010 Cuba Salsa Holiday Experience 
14 nights in Cuba from Wednesday 28^th April 2010

 11 Night Option

 This once in a lifetime holiday will take you through an exciting program of Salsa
 classes, Salsa dancing and Cuban culture.

 Learn the Cuban culture, get the flava of the country, the amazing architecture, golden beaches, colourful
 scenery... immerse yourself in this stunningly beautiful and exceptionally diverse country.

 This tour is a must for anyone who is passionate about the music and wants to gain a deeper
 appreciation of the essence of Cuban salsa & dance.

 Whether you are an experienced salsero wanting to polish your skills, or a complete beginner, this course will be
 tailored to suit your needs. While the focus is on the dance classes, developing a real understanding of the music's
 Afro-Spanish roots is equally important.

 an insight into the many different dimensions of Cuban life.
