BALBOA 2

Beyond Beginning
Instructors: Rod + Emily
Wednesdays 7:30-8:30p

Balboa is a dance that falls under the Swing umbrella that originated on the west coast, in contrast to its East Coast cousin the Lindy Hop. With up-tempo music, crowded dance floors (during pandemic, crowded living room!), and sometimes tiny venues, there is no better dance than Balboa to get you moving in situations just like these. In fact, it was born out of those very elements. Close connection and itty-bitty footwork are characteristic of this dance, making it ideal for space and energy conservation, while still swingin’ to the hot rhythms of the 1920s… and the 2010s!

This class is for dancers with some Balboa experience looking to expand their repertoire!
