Covid restrictions permitting, the IB is planning its next dance and tourism event for the autumn of 2022 in Italy.

The dance weekend will take place in Civitanova Marche, about 50km south of Ancona with a great lineup of 3 musicians and 3 teachers for classes and evening dancing. There will also be afternoon tours of Ancona and the Riviera del Conero.

The tourism programme will continue from there, staying one more night in Civitanova Marche to take in a visit to Ascoli Piceno and then travelling on to Bologna for five nights, staying in a 4 star accommodation.

Visits are scheduled to Ravenna, Modena and Parma as well as allowing plenty of free time to enjoy “La Grassa” - Bologna is the centre of Italian gastronomy.

Prices (based on double/twin room occupancy):

If you would like more information about the weekend and/or the tour, please contact the organisers directly.
