Here they can perform for a welcoming, international audience as well as develop their craft with a Disney entertainment workshop. Imagine the confidence and memories that will stay with them for a lifetime. It’s time for your students to take on the world stage! Disney is a place to learn and be rewarded for all of their hard work. It truly is ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’.

Hi, I'm karen Spencer...
As a travel agent and dance group specialist I love to help people get out there. Our world is bursting with incredible experiences to be discovered and enjoyed, experiences that will form those favourite memories, the ones that stay with you for a lifetime. It’s time to get amongst it.
Since starting in 2007 I’ve created thousands of journeys for my clients, my team of travel experts has helped hundreds of dancers perform proudly on Disney stages. Having been involved with dance most of my life, dance tours were a natural specialty for my business. My eldest daughter has been dancing for over 35 years and started her own dancing school when she was 25. I made all the costumes for our local dancing school’s end of year concerts for 15 years. I know first-hand what an incredible experience it is for young performers and parents alike to see their little ones dance their hearts out on stage, but I also know how daunting it can seem when long distance travel is thrown into the mix.
That is, unless you’ve got someone who has been there before. Someone who’s prepared, organised, on-call and ready to navigate the obstacles as they arise. Someone like me. I guess you can think of me as your ‘Tour Mum’ (except I won’t do the laundry!) My range of exciting dance tours promise to stay in the memories of young dancers for years to come. There’s a certain sense of wonder and awe that comes with learning and performing in such incredible venues. So if you’re ready to take your students on a grand adventure, full of spectacle, fun new discoveries (and a bit of dancing of course), you’ve come to the right place.
My reputation for being someone you can trust is incredibly important to me. In dance circles I am proud to be known for my skill at planning smooth trips, locking down competitive prices and taking your students’ dreams and making them a reality.
Lisel O’Hehir has completed 2 dance tours to USA in 2020 and 2018 and booked again next year
Karen at Go Tours was recommended to us by a parent from another dance school who had been happy with her service. I’m so glad that we took her advice because Karen made the planning and logistics of our first overseas group tour so easy. Karen is friendly and easy going and she’s really passionate about creating amazing memories for the students and their families that are also affordable. Karen worked hard to ensure that everything went smoothly and she went above and beyond arranging extra dance classes, rehearsal spaces and performance opportunities. Many of our families extended their travels beyond our set itinerary and Karen was able to manage all of those requirements as well. If you’re wanting to travel with someone who is invested in ensuring you get the best experience at the best price then you can’t go past Karen at GoTours.

My Approach
My Job isn't over until you're home safely
The most important aspect of my approach is that my job isn’t over once you hop on the plane. I make sure all of my dance tour groups have an expert guide travelling with them, whether it’s myself or one of my friendly and experienced team. We’re always on hand as your group’s personal concierge. So don’t worry – no missing flights or getting lost in unfamiliar places! We strive to offer you a very personalised service.
I like to be flexible and helpful throughout the whole planning and travel process. We’ll start with an in-depth consultation to work out how to make this the best possible trip for your group. I’ll then provide you with detailed information packs to bring parents up to speed at an informal information session. My services extend to registering your group for their Disney Performances and training workshops with Disney’s events team.
Every travel itinerary I compile is comprehensive and clearly organised, because no one likes to mess around with messy paperwork when they’re also trying to wrangle a dozen bouncing kids! Creating customised, exciting itineraries is my true passion and I’m always excited to have a chat about your dream trip and provide you with a free quote.
