Course Description:
Truly an all-levels afternoon of balboa! Originating in southern California, balboa is a flowy partnered swing dance that started with close embrace shapes and has since been blended with swing movements which can be danced slow or up-tempo. Scaffolded classics of balboa (in close embrace) and swing (in close and open) will get folks new to balboa up and ready for social dancing. Those already hooked on balboa, look forward to a deeper exploration of your dancing through flow, texture, and rhythm.
Prerequisites:
This is an all-levels class.
