BEGINNER BALBOA
Balboa is a fun 8-count dance that is great for those that like to chill out while dancing...no matter what the tempo is! The footwork is "shuffly" and small which is great for faster songs. Dancers young and old love doing Balboa & Bal-Swing! In this class you will learn the basic footwork, rhythm, connection, and moves for the foundation of Balboa and Bal-Swing.
This class is currently on hold - we have PRIVATE LESSON spots available on Wednesday nights if you are interested in learning Balboa (or other Swing Era dances).
