Please note:
Day and PM activities are subject to change due to weather and other unforseen
circumstances. Things can  happen
that will require flexibility in the schedule. For example, if it rains,
the boat tour may have to take place on another night. Also, we cannot
tell you which days each dance instructor will teach because it is possible
that a plane may be delayed, or an instructor may feel ill. We can, however,
tell you when each class will be offered.
All meals are included in your package deal (except for one lunch and
two dinners during your free time).
B
= Breakfast included, L = lunch included and D = dinner included.
Daily class schedule and itinerary will be posted in the lobby of the
hotel every day.
Our friendly staff has plenty of helpful suggestions and advice and we
are happy to answer any questions you may have during our time together!
