Profit from individual teaching: the Salsa class is limited to 9 participating couples. The teachers will work on your body language to enhance the quality of movement and your feeling of rhythm and grace. Classes will be held for three hours a day (15 hours on 5 days), allowing for plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings of the villa and to go for trips to the nearby lake or towns. And if your feet or your back hurt: we offer wellness massages and beauty treatment. There is enough space to practice and of course dancing every night, either at La Rogaia or at Salsa clubs in Perugia and vicinity. The local Salsa dancers will be curious to meet you !
