Pacific Dance


Title – Pacific Dance
Date – January 2003
Location - Cook Islands

Dancing is one of the activities that is practised the world over from Carlisle to the Cook Islands and despite the obvious differences in dancing styles and dress; the effect is the same.

The relatively recent phenomenon of popular music does however mean that it most parts of the world there is now an alternative to the traditional. A club or bar where western music (or local copies of western tunes) can be danced to, until the early hours is often available.

The bar and club environment is one that many individuals travelling enjoy on a regular basis and just as this environment can have hazards in the UK; the situation can be just as bad in other countries. In unfamiliar environments these hazards can be treacherous and little problems seem to be magnified. Beyond The Blue can provide individuals with the skills to avoid these types of problems and our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops are designed to train you in some basic low-impact personal safety techniques, these help you to remove yourself from situations in which you feel uncomfortable or threatened.
