Our retreat schedule will be sent to you after you purchase your retreat online, rest assured there are plenty of activities for you to participate in. There is also time for some relaxation and down time by the pool or beach. Our Retreat Leaders will run daily dance classes as well as wellness activities. You will leave a Bali Dance Retreat feeling refreshed and with a sense of purpose.
Our Accommodation
We are staying in the gorgeous Hotel Komune resort – located on the lush, secluded East Coat of Bali. Each room is twin-share and costs on our booking pages are priced accordingly. The twin-share cost is a per person cost, so if you are coming with a friend book two retreat packages. If you book a single retreat package, we will allocate you a room share partner to stay together in your room.
Do many guests come on their own?
We have a mixture of guests that come alone and make dance friends that last a lifetime, while others bring along a friend they already know to join in the fun! Rest assured however you come, you will always have a great experience and walk away with a new bunch of amazing people to connect with long after the retreat ends.
Meals
The food at the Hotel Komune is some of the best food you will ever experience! All meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner (plus a freshly squeezed juice and Balinese coffee) are included in your package costs starting from Day 1 (Saturday). Our accommodation has numerous onsite restaurants which produce meals for any sort of dietary requirement you can think of! Meals start on Day 1 of the Retreat and meals on Day 5 are limited to breakfast and lunch only.
Does the retreat allow alcohol?
Yes!
For our dancers over 18 years of age, we leave the decision to drink alcohol in your hands. Your schedule is pretty action packed, so as long as you are mindful of your sessions the following day and attend with a clear head! In saying that the Komune does have some amazing cocktails to enjoy by the beach!
For adults bringing their younger dancers along, we encourage those parents that would like a drink to gather and enjoy a glass or two in their down time. Get to know some of the other parents in our group in the beachside bar.
What time should I book my flight home?
Our last day of the retreat finishes not long after breakfast. We need to be checked out of our rooms by 10.00am, we are allowed to leave our luggage at reception and then we will have one last dance class. We would suggest booking your flight home anytime from 11.30am onwards. You are welcome to hang around the resort and use the pool and public bathroom facilities if you have a flight later in the day.
