Retreat Information
Once you've landed in Marrakesh, you'll join the Etu Dance crew for this epic five-day dance retreat guaranteed to make you feel fit, energised and revived. We hope you're ready for an action-packed time as we show you the sights of Marrakesh too!
You don't need us to tell you that dancing makes you feel great, so we've built our timetable and classes around amazing music and choreography. Our fantastic dance teachers have created classes that will have you hip-hopping and jamming away in no time.
You do not have to be a 'professional dancer to join this trip', everyone is welcome, including total newbies, and this dance retreat is great for solo travellers! We'll be blasting the house, hip-hop, dancehall, and electro beats to bring your sessions to life.
If you think you can't find affordable luxury dance retreats, think again. The Iberostar Club Palmeraie Marrakech is 30 minutes from Marrakesh Menara Airport and 20 minutes from the Medina (town centre), and this swish four-star hotel is our perfect base for this active adventure.
