Description
Besides the colorful center, the "Beaches of the
East" and the famous Malecon (an immense boulevard
considered the living-room of Havana) tourists should
visit Vedado, where the host families live, and where
can be found art deco buildings that would be considered
national monuments in many other countries. The classes
take place either in the professor house, the host family
house or -in case of a small group class- in one of the
cultural centers. Don Quijote works with his Cuban partner,
UNEAC, one of the greater organizations in the island
in the culture area.
Lodging
The school recommends lodging in family houses. The families
chosen as hosts live in big houses in a city residential
district. Although it is a quite zone, there is some bars
and discotheques. The families offer single or double
rooms with half board.
Academics
There are three basic courses: language, language and
dance and language and music. The language courses can
be individual or in small groups. The combined courses
of language and dance include salsa classes, mambo, rumba
and son. In the music courses the student can choose between
percussion and guitar.
