PREREQUISITE: No prior experience needed, absolute beginners are welcome, there is no need to bring your own dance partners.
DESCRIPTION: Balboa is an upright close connection dance characterized by rotational movements and small defined footwork at fast tempos. It is considered the most elegant and sophisticated of the partnered Swing dances and is often called “the dancer’s dance”.
We will start with the basics and cover some of the main Balboa shapes including the Come Around, Lollies, and Out and In’s. There will be a focus on basic technique including posture, a comfortable connection, pulse, and flow. Experienced assistants will dance with you and help you progress more quickly.
