Jamaïque : locations saisonnières

Welcome to mi experience and to Jamaica! I've personally been dancing since I was a kid, doing ska, bogle & more dances with my grandparents. I truly believe dancing is a celebration of your body and a connection to your soul. Yea mon, it well good fi yuh! Here's the structure of my class. We'll start with a warm-up for 5 minutes as we get to know each other a bit. Then we'll get into the hardcore dancing. I'll show you the old and new Jamaican dances. We'll do that for 30 mins then warm down for 10 minutes. I'll also share some history about Jamaica. You'll also have the chance to win Jamaican recipes or a pdf copy of my children's book. It will be so much fun, sweat and overall, happiness. If you want to book a time you don't see here, let me know. Feel free to do several classes and bring your family and friends. The more, the merrier :) I am looking forward to having an irie time with you! I can also tailor my class for children. Groups are welcomed! If you're a couple, I can have it spiced up for you. Join me for any celebration - birthdays, get-togethers, valentines, company events and I'll add that special touch. I can work with your team to tweak this experience to suit your event

On this experience you’ll learn the true story of how chocolate becomes the world’s favourite sweet, a bitter sweet tale of hard work, artisanship and how business can be a force for good. We start with our special welcome to Jamaica. We’re located on the edge of the Blue Mountains overlooking Kingston. We’ll look down across the city towards the harbour as I give a brief history of the island and the historical use of cacao. We then get to know each other before we make our inclusion bars. I’ll tell you about how I went from a BBC Correspondent to a chocolate maker before I explain how we go from the raw ingredients to the finished yummy product. I’ll show you how to hand temper chocolate, from our original development kitchen using a bowl, a table and a spatula. Before I walk you through creating your own custom made inclusion chocolate bars. We then go right into the farm, driving over a river bed, to have a closer look at the cacao estate. We’ll introduce you to the pods up close, we’ll look inside the fruit and I’ll explain how the beans are fermented on the farm and how the nibs are processed before we unveil your bespoke bars. This Experience is great for team-building. Book a private experience for your group. Is your group larger than my listed max group size for private groups? Send me a message. Other things to note Due to the fact I'll be using multiple cameras this will be best to watch on a PC so that you can maximise views and also see your fellow experiencers. Especially when we get into the tasting segment.

Enjoy the beautiful morning breeze and take a cool and refreshing dip in the pristine blue waters of Jamaica. On our Seaside Stone Walk and Swim we will take a scenic, sea view stroll down the rocky path of Discovery Bay's shoreline taking time for pictures and swimming in the naturally created pools until we reach Members Beach, our final destination, where you will get to swim, chat and eat with the locals. Our first stop, one of the most breathtaking places that my husband shared with me when we first met, is a natural pool where the stone opens up into a beautiful oasis, perfect for swimming, snorkeling and Lots of pictures. After a nice swim and many pictures later, we will then continue the journey to the beach along the path that we have so often walked. Samousa will give you some history of the area, stop for water breaks, pictures and more swimming at the various pools that have been naturally created. The 2 hour path is rocky, but charming, and is the perfect backdrop for the ocean. Our last stop is Members beach where all the locals, clear waters, food, and music awaits us. You can enjoy some local eats with feet in the sand and ocean views! Other things to note If there is a date/time not listed, please send me a message and we will be happy to arrange that for you. Swimming during the hike is at your own risk.
