WELCOME TO EAGLE DANCE FEST 2018……
**FULL WEEKEND PRICE ONLY £99**
****www.eagledancefest.com****
Celebrating 20 years of our unique and wonderful dance holidays! Join us for an outstanding weekend festival in our beautiful home town of Leeds, West Yorkshire!
Back in 1998 Eagle Activity Tours was created. A dance holiday company, the first of its kind in the UK & Europe to provide adults with something other than the standard package holiday – these holidays included an itinerary of dance, beautiful locations and hotels around the world, like-minded people, parties, expert tuition and most importantly ridiculous amounts of fun! Our goal was simply to make sure our guests could forget the stresses of everyday life and do something they truly enjoy.
Over the last 20 years, Eagle Activity Tours better known as Eagle Salsa Tours have touched many people, changed lives, created friendships, partnerships and memories to cherish.
We wanted to celebrate our 20th Anniversary with something special so we decided to bring Eagle Salsa Tours home to Leeds where for one long weekend we will create more of the magic and madness that our holidays bring.

We’ll be using the stunning Refectory with wrap around balcony and a 2100 capacity as our main venue – this venue has played host to some of the biggest acts since the 1960’s including Elton John, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Killers and perhaps the most famous live recording ever made – The Who Live in Leeds, was also recorded here.
Aside from this amazing venue we will also have up to 3 further luxurious dance rooms each night!
Through the day workshops will be held in various rooms within the main university building including newly built dance studios with sprung floor.
