Roma Balboa Weekend
Info
Your dance holidays in Rome
Plan your visit around Roma Balboa Weekend: dancing, beautiful places, great food and time to enjoy the Eternal City.
Make the most of your stay
Let's plan your dance holiday in Rome! Alongside an international workshop and three fantastic parties, take time to visit the Eternal City on Friday and Monday. Classes are concentrated on Saturday and Sunday, and the schedule leaves free time to explore before the evening parties.
This year again our main location is Brancaccio Palace, where classes and night parties will be held. We suggest finding accommodation around Santa Maria Maggiore square, with its outstanding Basilica, or in the Colle Oppio and Monti areas on the Esquiline hill. This residential and commercial neighbourhood is right in the heart of Rome.
Vittorio Emanuele is the nearest Metro stop, about a 10-minute walk from Brancaccio Palace. The Monti neighbourhood has a bohemian atmosphere and is one of the perfect places for your Roman holidays:
Monti is central Rome's secret urban village. Its ochre-washed houses on cobblestone lanes make it one of the city's most charming old residential neighbourhoods. Despite gentrification, it retains a bohemian edge, with alternative fashion, gourmet street food and alfresco cafe culture. (The Guardian)
There are lots of shops and businesses around Brancaccio Palace, including the popular historic gelateria Fassi in Principe Eugenio street.
