Slow Bal with Izzy and Louis
Izzy and Louis are joining us from the London Balboa Collective to share their love of Slow Balboa, a dance that combines the partner connection of Balboa with gorgeous slower jazz and blues music. They will give you a taste of what makes this dance so great and how to explore it on the social dancefloor (and it might even help for the Saturday afterparty).
12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Hip Hop with Marius
Learn about Locking & Popping, dance styles that became integral part of hip-hop dancing. Time travel back to the era of Soul Train, Electric Boogaloos, and funk music. Be prepared to Scooby Doo and do the Fresno!
