All I want for Christmas…is an experience like no other
We know the world of Strictly Come Dancing is all consuming, but it can’t have escaped your notice that Christmas is fast approaching. Not only do we celebrate the ‘crowning’ of the new Strictly champions at this time of year, but friends and family also expect a present or two.
So, with that in mind, we’ve got a great gift idea for addicts of hit TV show Strictly Come Dancing – Donaheys Dancing With The Stars Experience. Not only will this Christmas present score you an amazing amount of brownie points with loved ones, but it will also catapult you to the top of the leader board. And that’s without throwing a single shape on the dance floor, which is very handy for the ‘Dad Dancers’ amongst you.
Dancing With The Stars Experience
What does this perfect Strictly Christmas present include? Well, a whole weekend of dancing in the company of the Stars at the stunning 5* Celtic Manor Resort Hotel in Newport. See hot couple Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara, Ballroom favourite Carlos Gu, and the amazing Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez perform dazzling showdances in our stunning Ballrooms. Grill them in the fun Q&A session and take photos in the ‘Red Carpet Photo Call’s.
Two left feet?
Whether the recipient is an experienced dancer, a novice or the proud owner of two left feet, Donahey’s amazing dance weekends are a great strictly experience for everyone. The weekend includes four hours of Ballroom and Latin classes with the Strictly stars and World Ballroom Champions, Warren and Kristi Boyce. Also three additional hours of dance classes with our own highly experienced dance teachers, which are tailored to the recipient’s dancing abilities.
Non-stop dancing
But that’s not all; the nights are filled with dancing too. On Saturday night our Black Tie Ball with live music from The Tony Greenwood 15-piece Ballroom & Latin Big Band fills the dazzling Ballroom. And the late night ‘Latin Lounge’ encourages dancing and mingling into the small hours. The weekend treat concludes with the Sunday afternoon Grand-Finale dance showcase.
