RCI Adds Dance Program to Fleet

Royal Caribbean International (RCI) has added a new hip hop dance program to its ships. Gotta Dance offers guests the opportunity to "wow" their cruisemates with cool new dance moves. The guest-participatory experience is being offered exclusively by RCI and will be offered fleetwide in summer 2009.

"Gotta Dance is the newest Royal Caribbean International program that offers guests an opportunity to try something different on their vacation regardless of age and experience," said Peter Compton, vice president, entertainment for RCI. "Every age is welcome and no experience is necessary. As with many of our onboard programs, Gotta Dance helps bring families closer together and build lasting relationships among guests for an unforgettable cruise vacation."

Gotta Dance is based on the documentary film by Dori Berinstein that chronicles the first-ever senior-citizen, hip hop dance troupe for the New Jersey Nets basketball team. The film opens in July 2009.

Kicking off each cruise will be a special screening of the film. Participants will then be divided into teams and, over the course of their vacation, will learn choreographed routines with a member of the Royal Caribbean dance team in rehearsals during sea days. The program culminates with a farewell show on the last evening of the cruise, whereby each of the teams performs their routine in the ship's main theater.
