Well, people, forget Spring Break.  Thanks to Travel & Leisure magazine, I now know where the ultimate dance beach party is.

It turns out, it's in the Ukraine.

According to the article, this summer the Ukraine hosts a huge beach party, lasting an entire month, in Crimea.  The festival, called "Kazantip," attracts hundreds of DJs from all over Europe and Russia, ten stages, huge television screens, not to mention tens of thousands of revelers.  Most of the dancers are young Ukrainians and Russians, but apparently the event is attracting more and more tourists from around Europe.  By day, most are just hanging around the beach, but by nightfall?  It's  alcohol-fuelled bacchanalia, until the break of dawn.

If this sounds like your kind of party, be sure to visit the official website.  This year's Kazantip will from July 15th, 2006 -- August 26th, 2006.
