DANCE & ENGLISH STUDY COURSES IN THE UK
EDINBURGH, JULY 19-26, 2026
LEARN ENGLISH AND DANCE IN THE HEART OF SCOTLAND:
A HIGHLY EDUCATIONAL AND UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
At AREADANZA, we are always looking for new challenges and, above all, we work to offer real opportunities to students. With this new project, we are delighted to offer a great opportunity that combines a passion for dance with the need to perfect their English, an increasingly important skill in everyday life.
The program was designed with every organizational aspect in mind for the well-being and protection of the students, following the guidelines and principles that have governed our school's schedule and activities for many years.
AREADANZA's study holidays are dedicated to children between the ages of 11 and 18 who already practice dance and take place at the prestigious LORETTO SCHOOL (www.loretto.com), located near the wonderful city of Edinburgh, in a green and peaceful setting, immersed in the evocative and lush Scottish nature.
