Indulge your love of Egyptian dance while immersing yourself in the culture, cuisine, and sunshine of the Turkish coast on the pristine waters of the Aegean Sea. Stay in a family-owned hotel in the beach town of Bodrum, just steps from the beach.

 

Study technique and choreography with master Egyptian dance instructors Faten and Wael Mansour, whose extensive expertise covers the spectrum of Egyptian dance, from its folkloric roots all the way to more modern interpretations. This 5-day, 6-night retreat offers you the unique opportunity to learn from these two renowned instructors in a small class setting. Dancers in all stages of their dance journey are welcome. 

​

The week is structured to encompass 12 hours of dance instruction as well as plenty of free time to relax and explore Bodrum. 

 

Each day begins with breakfast the hotel. Lunch will be on your own, allowing you to select from the many small area restaurants. We will regroup in the evening for dinner, except for two evenings when you can set your own schedule and have dinner and explore.   

 

During your free time, you can relax on the beach, swim in the hotel pool, or stroll around Bodrum and visit the many shops and cafes. There’s an historic castle you can tour as well as the Museum of Underwater Archeology. These activities are not included in your package, but we can help you with information.

​​

We have built into the schedule a private day-long boat trip of the bays in the Bodrum area.  We have also arranged a vineyard tour complete with a tasting dinner, so you can experience even more of the area surrounding Bodrum. 

 

​​On our final night in Bodrum, we’re planning an informal dance party. We hope you will consider packing a costume and sharing your talent with the group.
