TRAVEL is much more fun when you have a soundtrack to dance and sing along to. From salsa and tango to Afro beats and Bollywood treats, Intrepid Travel has compiled the best destinations from around the world to shake your booty in.

Cuba

A diverse musical scene will see you feeling the rhythm of rumba in Havana, taking a saucy salsa dance to the stage and swinging your hips to sol. If you've never been to a nightclub in a cave then don't miss Trinidad's famous 'disco in a cave'. Experience it all with Intrepid Travel's brand-new Cuba Music and Dance trip to be launched next year.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

The home of tango, Buenos Aires will have you on your toes in no time. Be sure to head to historical San Telmo, the famous tango district, always full of dancers bursting into lively tango.

Mumbai, India

If you're not careful, you could end up starring in a Bollywood blockbuster in Mumbai. Full of melodrama, colourful costumes and exotic locations, the Bollywood dance is where you'll see classic Indian dance styles coupled with modern western moves.

Granada, Spain

The birthplace of flamenco, Granada offers up a multitude of bars to see this melange of wrangling guitar, sashaying red dresses and provocative shoe tapping. Be sure to grab a plateful of tapas and a cold cerveza (beer) before taking in the show.

The world's greatest party happens on the streets of Rio during Carnaval where you'll perfect those sassy samba steps, join the conga line and shake to the rhythm of the drum beats from dawn until dusk. You might even end up on a Carnaval float.
