Andalucia Ballet Retreat
Step back in time and rediscover the simple wonder of nature.
Welcome to Trasierra in the heart of the Sierra Norte Natural Park just outside of Seville. This 300 year old estate, formerly used to produce wine and olive oil is now the perfect escape from the busy world, a place where you can relax and observe the gentler passing of time surrounded by mountains and meadows.
Together, we will embark on a 5 day journey connecting our mind and bodies using my 3 pillar philosophy of Movement, Mobility and Mindset. There will be daily ballet classes in the beautifully converted ballet ‘barn’, sunrise and sunset breathwork and relaxation sessions in the estate grounds, mobility training and 1:1 coaching in addition to delicious and healthy Mediterranean food, local wine, swimming and plenty of down time for you to enjoy. Trasierra, although abundant with rooms is incredibly private with elegant little walkways and stunning fig gardens which will leave you feeling as if you’re staying in the house of friend as opposed to a hotel.
Refine your classical ballet technique, align your mind and body, unlock your innate capabilities, indulge in the peaceful surroundings, recharge and transform on this magical Andalucia Ballet Retreat.
Your retreat includes:
Your own luxury double suite
Breakfast each day
All of your retreat group classes including daily ballet, mobility training, breathwork, meditation sessions and stretching
1 private coaching session each
Daily access to the on sight pool and grounds
Inbound transfer included*
What's not included?
Your flights to and from Seville. I recommend you fly from London Gatwick with British Airways for our May retreat and London Gatwick with EasyJet for our October retreat.
Lunches and dinners which can be paid for upon check out.
Outbound transfer. This is because many participants choose to stay in Seville for a few extra days after the retreat has finished. Taxis can be arranged easily at the estate.
Extras such as massage, horse riding and walking tours, all of which can be arranged in advance. A full list of extras will be provided for you upon booking.
*There can only be one transfer from Seville Airport to Trasierra on the arrival day of your retreat. If your arrival doesn't coincide with the transfer you will need to take a taxi to the hotel at your own expense.
Will I come on my own or can I bring someone with me?
Many of your fellow participants come on their own, and I promise that you will be very well taken care of by myself and the other dancers on this retreat. However you are very welcome to invite a spouse or friend to join you in your room at Trasierra although extra room costs will be included and this person will not be entitled to join our classes unless they also pay a retreat fee.

Gallery and Testimonials
“5 star retreat!
Everything about the Andalucia Ballet Retreat was exceptional; from the breath-taking setting to the ballet and breathwork sessions.
The classes were wonderful, I feel so much more confident and graceful based on Karis’ corrections. She is a truly amazing teacher and after the retreat, a great friend.
We all had such a laugh in Trassiera, eating healthy but Michelin standard delicious food, having a glass of wine by the pool and taking the dog for a walk in the olive groves. I could not recommend this retreat enough.” - Helen, retreat participant
“The Andalucia Ballet Retreat with Karis was an exceptional experience in every respect. The venue was dreamy, both indoor and outdoor spaces are decorated with exquisite taste and the surrounding landscape is stunning. Our private chef went above and beyond to prepare top quality meals which were not only healthy and nutritious but also incredibly creative and delicious.
Not only is Karis a talented ballet teacher but also a brilliant hostess. The schedule was very well thought out with daily ballet classes as well as body conditioning, sunrise breathwork and sunset stretching sessions, all of which helped me benefit even more from the ballet training.
This retreat is a gift and I would recommend it to everyone.”
