We’ll be staying in an area in the South-West of Tuscany close to the sea. The dance classes will take place in Prata and Boccheggiano, two small medieval villages on top of a hill, with a great panoramic view on the coast and the surrounding hills and woods. The sea is 25 minutes away, the great city of Massa Marittima is 10 minutes away, other cities like Siena, San Gimignano,Volterra, even Firenze are all within reach.
The organisation will provide furthermore for the housing of the participants. We’ve selected a number of fine locations in the immediate area of Prata and Boccheggiano: bed & breakfasts, hotels, rooms, … The ‘standard fee’ is based on housing in apartments with 4 or 6 people. If you would rather have a single or a double room, that’s possible too, please check the ‘Housing‘ page on this website.
We will organize and coordinate the trip to Tuscany and during the stage as it is important to have cars in this area (public transportation is rare). We will organizecar pooling as much as possible to Tuscany and back but also during the stay. See the ‘Transportation‘ page for more info.
