April Workshop at Moderato Level with Accommodation in Single Rooms

April Moderato Dance Workshop Program with Vincent PARODI in Camplong d'Aude (11).

We will be about 60 dancers, mostly females!

The workshop is MODERATO level: Knowledge of the basic steps of Israeli dance and one year of regular practice is required. These are not beginner workshops but intermediate ones where time is taken to learn and review.

The Paul Balmigère holiday village is located in the heart of the Corbières vineyards and at the foot of the sunny hills of the Alaric mountain. In a friendly and flowered space, comfortable cottages for 4 to 6 people are distributed like a small southern village (with its squares, its pétanque court...). It is highly appreciated for its calm and conviviality.

The dance hall is spacious and bright (no wooden floor). The varied, homemade cuisine prepared by a local caterer will delight your taste buds.

The nearest train station is Lézignan Corbières (14 km) and there is also an airport (Ryanair only) in Carcassonne (45km). We will organize transfers to the workshop location.

Following our ancestral traditions, each participant brings a specialty from their region (solid or liquid, sweet or salty, store-bought or homemade) for everyone to enjoy during evening gatherings or aperitifs. Refrigerators are available.
