New Zealand Dance Adventure

Once upon a time...

 in a not-so-far-away land...

    .... a lovely young dancer from New Zealand visited Seattle and fell in love with the American style of close-connection swing and blues dancing she encountered there (blues, blues-fusion, balboa, etc).  So she decided to invite her favorite teachers and dancers from the USA to come to Auckland to share their craft, to mingle with the locals, and to show them what this close-connection dance form is all about.  In exchange, she and her friends thought it would be nice to share with their guests some of the breath-taking natural wonders and exciting day-adventures that New Zealand's North Island has to offer (hiking, climbing, snorkeling, treking, caving, sailing, etc). 

 ..... And so it was that the idea for the "New Zealand Dance-Adventure & Exchange" was born!

      Come be part of this very new and exciting concept in travel and dance.  It's the perfect recipe for fun, learning, and meeting new friends!  (see recipe details below)

     Group size is limited, so register early!  Discount group housing in the camp's beautiful sea-side bungalow is also space-limited.  The first ten to sign up get a spot! (see the housing page for details).
