Relaxed, enjoyable weekend. Organisation & attention to detail first class. Tuition, music and ballroom of high standard.

Had a thoroughly lovely time. Plenty of room to dance on a wonderful floor to great music. Can’t wait until our next trip with Paul and Carole which will be to the sun. Didn’t see much of that in Street last weekend. The shopping made up for it though!

What a lovely way to spend Easter – great dancing and great friends!

We had a very enjoyable weekend. The hotel staff are all very welcoming and friendly and helpful, whilst the hotel is in need of a little refurbishment this did not impact on our enjoyment of the weekend. The weekend was well organised and as usual Paul’s choice of music in the evenings was brilliant. The dance tuition was well presented and pitched at a good level for the group. We would definitely recommend this dance break.

The food at this price of holiday was some of the best we’ve ever had.  Just perfect, Paul and Carole run the holiday like clockwork and provide world class ballroom tuition lessons with Mark and Olga.

Thank you Paul and Carole. We had a wonderful weekend at the Durrant, the staff were friendly and attentive, we enjoyed the room, the food but most of all the ballroom dancing classes with Mark and Olga, their cabaret and the evening dancing on a large floor to great music with happy enthusiastic dancers.

This is our 2nd Dancebreak Holiday with Paul and Carole We had a Fantastic Time also made New Friends. The Tuition with Mark & Olga Elsbury Amazing.

Very pleased with everything. Brilliant organisation I felt at ease at all times and looked after. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

Great weekend, brilliantly organised and good value for money. Excellent tuition set at the right level.

The dance festival is such great value for money. The tuition is extremely helpful as are all the teachers who strive to organise their tuition around a variety of dance standards. They are all very patient and take time to answer any questions. The teachers also create an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere with constructive comments to improve technique.

They managed to include everyone regardless of experience or skill. We find the instructions in relation to balance and posture really useful to put with the steps. Bring able to record the video at the end is very useful.

We listened to Paul and only did 5 workshops which was really helpful to not get over tired.

We have experienced dance breaks twice before and this was no exception, very good organisation and arrangement of the dinner tables and dance classes very good. The dance teachers are superb, very helpful even when presented with challenging pupils!! who may not have understood first time what was being demonstrated, they were happy to go through the tuition several times to ensure everyone understood.

We came away having learnt some more dance technique and with smiles on our faces for having had a very comfortable stay in the hotel and enjoyed exploring the local area.

The tuition was excellent from both sets of coaches. Their guidance was both informative and entertaining and was tailored to the needs of the group. All the workshops were fun and were delivered so that everyone could take away something that improves their dancing.

My wife and I attended your Black & White ball at Eastbourne on Saturday, we thoroughly enjoyed the event, the venue was really good and the best dancing music we have ever danced to in our 30 years of dancing.

Considering the delay we had at the beginning Paul &Carole did an excellent job in the smooth running of our holiday. Its reassuring to know we are in safe hands. For our first dance holiday it was more than we hoped for. A lovely group and we didn’t feel inhibited. To go on holiday with the reassurance that everything is taken care of and the hosts genuinely care about you having a great experience is very satisfying. From beginning to end we had a great time, the music and dancing was great. Although it was our first time it was like being on holiday with friends. Definitely booking for future holidays with Dance Breaks.

As first timers our apprehensions soon disappeared. The dancing experience was really good. There was no pressure, no expectations and a quiet efficiency about the table planning, information beforehand about timings, organisation of dancing groups and adjusting the amount of sequence dancing. The whole operation was excellent.

Most enjoyable and excellent value for money. We look forward to joining you on a future holiday

All good. First timers, a bit nervous, but soon got over that (15mins!!) Friendly atmosphere Lovely dance floor, great music (with no “slow downs” for last few bars!!) Hotel was excellent, at least 3 stars + No Problems at all, and will deffo join another DanceBreaks holiday. Many Thanks for a great weekend .

Fabulous time as always. Wonderful hosts. Fantastic value for money. Could not recommend more highly.

We experienced our very first dance break at The Abbey Sands Hotel and we loved every moment of it. It was well organised, the hotel was clean, the food was excellent and the service second to none. The tuition was also amazing and we have booked out 2nd break for Valentines Weekend in Street. 

We came for the dancing and it didn’t disappoint – we loved every minute! In fact after nearly 2 years of not being able to dance due to covid, I danced so much my feet were covered in blisters! Paul played a wonderful selection of dance music. The dance floor is incredible and we were able to enjoy trying to remember all our precovid steps. Very friendly other guests too. Thank you for a wonderful dance holiday.

This was our second dance break with Paul and Carol and we can’t wait for our next. In fact we didn’t leave the hotel before ensuring our names are on the list for the next event. Their dance holidays sell out rapidly, with many guests being repeat customers, due to their consistently excellent standards as hosts. Excellent hotels, great selection of music, perfect balance of ballroom, latin and sequence dances. Thank you for a great time

Spent Twixmas and New Year with DanceBreaks. Had the most amazing time and so much fun and laughter over the six days. We have already booked both again for this year. Paul and Carol go above and beyond to make everyone welcome and the variety of music and dancing is fabulous.

Very enjoyable stay staff work hard in unusual times. Music, dancing and company excellent. Paul and Carole always go out of their way to ensure everything is tip top. Look forward as always to more Dancebreaks.

We really enjoyed the dance holiday-superb hotel, staff really friendly and attentive (especially Claire at the restaurant). Speciality restaurant booking and airport transfers all sorted out for us by Carole & Paul. Would like to try another holiday earlier in the year too. See you soon!

Behind the scenes organisation must have been excellent as the whole weekend worked seamlessly. Can’t praise the hotel, staff and food highly enough. A thoroughly relaxing weekend with some bracing walks along the coast to blow any cobwebs away and return to some lovely dancing
