'Dancing With The Stars' Favority Louis Van Amstel Hosts LaBlast Retreat in Mexico, 11/30-12/3

Travelers can become a dancing star on the golden shores of AAA Five-Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit during the third annual LaBlast Getaway led by three-time World Dance Champion and "Dancing With The Stars" alum, Louis Van Amstel. Accompanied by two LaBlast master trainers, Van Amstel leads the program highlighted by daily LaBlast fitness classes from November 30 - December 3, 2016. For the first time, the partner-free dance classes will be accompanied by LaBlast Splash and Line Dance, both also partner-free. The energizing dance fitness class blending the true skill of ballroom dance with the calorie basting properties of interval fitness, LaBlast Fitness, takes place in the mornings, followed by the cardio building, joint-friendly, and outrageously fun LaBlast Splash in the pool in the afternoons. In the evening, LaBlast Line Dancing takes traditional line dancing out of the saddle and on to the ballroom floor. In addition, ballroom classes such as foxtrot and salsa will be offered both indoors in the resort's new dance lounge and outdoors oceanfront. The easy-to-learn patterns and music selections from all genres and eras welcome any age and fitness level.

With the package guests enjoy unlimited LaBlast Classes with live music and dancing led by Van Amstel (and lead Master Trainers), a $50 USD spa or golf credit per adult per night and one spa hydrotherapy circuit per adult per stay at the resort's spa sanctuary to relax and rejuvenate sore muscles after a morning of dances ranging from the Cha Cha to the Jive to the Waltz. In addition, a 10% discount at the resort boutique and round-trip airport transportation are also included in the package. Grand Velas' all-inclusive rates include luxury accommodations, a la carte gourmet meals at a variety of specialty restaurants, premium branded beverages, 24-hour in-suite service, taxes, gratuity and more.
