Social Dancers’ 2027 Grand European Tour

The Social Dancers’ 2027 Grand European Tour is shaping up to be our most exciting dance adventure yet. In February 2027, an incredible group of 42 QuickSteps dancers will travel together through some of Europe’s most beautiful destinations, combining sightseeing, culture, and unforgettable social dancing into one extraordinary experience.

Our journey will take us to Vienna, Ljubljana, Venice, Munich, and Prague – each offering its own unique atmosphere, history and dance traditions. This isn’t simply a sightseeing holiday. It’s an opportunity to experience Europe in a way few travellers ever do, surrounded by friends who share your passion for dancing.

Social Dancers’ 2027 Grand European Tour

One of the highlights of the Social Dancers’ 2027 Grand European Tour is travelling during Europe’s famous ball season. We’ll have the opportunity to attend elegant gala balls in Vienna, Munich and Prague, stepping onto historic dance floors where centuries-old traditions continue today. Dancing in magnificent ballrooms filled with live music and timeless elegance is something every social dancer should experience at least once.

Our visit to Venice brings another unforgettable highlight. During Carnival, the city transforms into a spectacular celebration of masks, costumes, music and history. Walking through Venice during this magical time creates memories that simply can’t be recreated on a standard holiday.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, there’s still time to become part of this incredible adventure.

So why should you consider coming along?

Travelling with fellow dancers creates a completely different experience from an ordinary group tour. You’ll spend your days exploring beautiful cities and your evenings dancing, sharing meals, discovering local culture and creating lifelong friendships. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner or with friends, you’ll be surrounded by people who already share your enthusiasm for dance.

The Social Dancers’ 2027 Grand European Tour is also wonderful motivation to improve your dancing before departure. Having exciting gala balls and social dance events to look forward to gives many dancers extra inspiration to practise, build confidence and enjoy every lesson leading up to the trip.

Beyond the dancing, you’ll discover charming cities that many international visitors overlook. From the imperial elegance of Vienna to the colourful streets of Ljubljana, the romantic canals of Venice, the welcoming atmosphere of Munich and the stunning architecture of Prague, each destination offers something unique to explore.
