Swing City and After Supper Swing continue these new drop-in Thursday collab sessions in May. Classes are 75 mins to give us time to dig deeper into the material. These will be followed by an open practice session which you can use however you want.
CLASS 7-8.15
Thursday 8th May is Balboa Basics with Faye and Adam! This session is suitable for complete beginners and those in the early stages of their Balboa learning.
Balboa is a dreamy partner dance that originated in the crowded ballrooms of California in the twenties and thirties and is danced in a closer hold than with Lindy Hop. It takes up less space on the dance floor and is ideal when the tempo picks up. You can mix it in with your Lindy Hop too!
IMPORTANT: Footwear - please bring shoes with slippy soles to wear for the workshop. Leather or suede soles are ideal. If you don't have slippy soles, try wrapping some strong wide tape around the front part of the shoe or just on the soles (make sure you won't ruin them in the process!) so that they slide nicely under the balls of the feet. Any questions, please get in touch.
PRACTICE TIME 8.15-9
Open to anyone who wants to work on their partner or solo dancing!
