Cartagena, Colombia — Our First Dance & Wellness Retreat
16–21 September 2026 | Blue Apple Beach, Tierra Bomba Island
In September 2026, Hold Space Dance Retreats brought together a wonderful group of people in Cartagena, Colombia, for our first international dance and wellness retreat.
Set against the Caribbean beauty of Blue Apple Beach, the experience brought together salsa, bachata, yoga, breathwork, tropical surroundings and the simple pleasure of spending time together.
Our days were filled with movement, discovery and opportunities to unwind. Our evenings brought music, dancing, shared meals, laughter and conversations that turned strangers into friends.
What made Cartagena special wasn't simply the destination. It was the people, the welcoming atmosphere and the connections we created together.
This was just the beginning of the Hold Space journey.
A Space to Move. A Place to Belong.
At Hold Space Dance Retreats, we believe the most memorable journeys aren't simply about where you go, but how you feel and who you share them with.
We create intimate, thoughtfully curated retreats where dance, travel, culture and wellbeing come together.
From your first salsa steps to evenings filled with music, shared dinners and new friendships, every experience is designed to bring people together naturally.
Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple or with friends, you'll find a welcoming environment where you can explore, unwind, connect and enjoy the moment.
Beautiful destinations. Meaningful connections. Experiences that move you.

Andrew Retizos
"I was fortunate to attend the Hold Space Retreat in Cartagena and was utterly delighted. It was a magical five days, with Ed and Susan providing the entire group with a level of thoughtful care and hospitality that went above and beyond. The yoga and dance teachers, the company, the venues, the accommodations and the food were all excellent. Most importantly there was a spirit of kindness, openness and love that was driving the entire experience. The quiet peace of morning yoga, the exciting and fulfilling salsa, bachata and other latin dance sessions, the moments when everyone found peaceful solitude, the wonderful dance socials and the meals which felt like family gatherings all amounted to one of my favorite and unforgettable experiences I've ever had"
