Shall We Balboa? (March course)

Details

Curious about Balboa? Balboa is a Swing dance that emerged in Southern California in the 1920s and 30s and was shaped by crowded ballrooms and fast-paced big band jazz. Characterised by small footwork and subtle partner connection, Balboa allows dancers to move effortlessly to quicker tempos without needing much space. This four-week block with Gary & Anita is designed for complete newcomers to Balboa (at least 3 months of partner dancing experience) who want to strengthen their foundations. We will focus on understanding the mechanics of the dance (posture, pulse, weight transfer, clear communication between partners). You will build Pure Balboa basics (close embrace) before gradually exploring Bal-Swing (open position) and transitions these two styles.
