Now it’s known as one of the best places to retire to in Britain so it come as little surprise that we’ve had an invite to Strictly Come Dorseting.
No, not us personally, although we have the Scottish equivalent here in North Berwick or North Berickety as I call it with its Olden Mile main thoroughfare.
Where you need to leave an extra ten minutes to get past the dodderers and the dawdlers.
Of course I jest and Strictly Come Dancing is for all the family, it’s just that Bournemouth strikes us as an ideal place for a dancing holiday.
Strictly fans have been waiting ever since the last series wrapped up for its return, this Saturday.
And if that doesn’t get you in the mood to sign up for classes then nothing will.
Dancing Solos
Ballroom dancing has always been a staple of British holidays whether it’s holiday camps or old-timers.
And the phenomenon that is Strictly Come Dancing has merely kickstarted dancing holidays.
With Solos right on it.
They offer a five-night dance break to Bournemouth in Dorset on England’s south-west coast.
Where they promised you can have a giggle and a glass of wine (or bottle) while learning Ballroom, Latin & Popular Sequence.
Well-known dance teacher Terry Perkins will lead the lessons each morning and evening.
And there will be convivial and fun dancing sessions to put those steps to the test.
Marsham style
You’ll stay at the award-winning family-run seaside Marsham Hotel with views over Bournemouth Bay.
Of course you’ll want to know about the apres-dance and the Marsham offers a bar, restaurant, outdoor pool, gardens, sun terraces and sea views.
So get your garb and glitter on, your sequins and spray tan.
And channel your fave Strictly dancers with this five-night Bournemouth Dance break, departing on 28 July next year from £645pp.
It includes twin room for sole use on a half-board basis, welcome drink and information meeting.
And the promise of morning dance classes, sessions each evening and your accompanying Solo Tour Leader.
So as they say in these parts Keeeeeeep Dorseting… or Strictly Come Dorseting.
