Join us for a new kind of Balboa intensive full of exploration, new ideas, laughs and conversation, designed to really 🚀“Boost Your Balboa!”🚀
This will not be another ordinary weekend – it's a unique opportunity to develop your dance skills, try out amazing ideas, and discover entirely new dimensions of Balboa, all while enjoying a cozy atmosphere surrounded by positive and inspiring people.
Together, we will explore the finer points of Balboa technique and 🤸🏿🧘🏽Body Work🧘🏽🤸🏿 – essential knowledge about working with the body, so crucial for our dancing yet so rarely addressed in swing dance classes. This part of the workshop is a fantastic chance to learn what and how professionals train to prepare their bodies for dancing.

Why are the levels named 'Goldy' and 'Arkin'?
Marion Goldy and Jack Arkin won the great “Swingeroo” contest in 1939, probably the largest swing dance contest to ever exist. The beat out other famous competitors like Hal and Betty, Roy and Snookie, and Dean and Jewel. History has shown that though Jack and Marion had fancy steps and clean dancing, it’s the dancers with that as well as more individual style that have influenced the modern scene more. They can also be seen in the background of "Naughty But Nice".
