WHAT THE MENTOR SAYS
What I want for this trip is something far from the dancehall camps that are usually done in Jamaica.
I want to take the time. Time to connect with nature, to connect with each other. We're not just going to learn some choreography. We will dive into the local vibe and explore everything the island has to offer.
