Balboa Dance Series: The Art of Close Connection
Discover the elegance and subtle rhythm of Balboa, the classic swing dance that thrived in the crowded ballrooms of Southern California during the 1930s. This four-week series is designed to get you comfortable with the close embrace and intricate footwork that defines this smooth, sophisticated style.
Who Should Join?
This series is ideal for dancers who are already comfortable with the basic Balboa steps and wish to build on their foundation. There will be a refresher in the first week, but the material is not suited for those brand new to the dance. If you want to grow beyond the basics and deepen your understanding of Balboa’s unique style, this series is for you.
What You Will Learn
Each hour-long session builds directly upon the last, creating a comprehensive foundation for your dancing.
Week 1: The fundamentals of the "Pure Bal" connection and the basic rhythm.
Week 2: Essential footwork variations and weight changes.
Week 3: incorporating "Bal-Swing" turns and break-aways.
Week 4: Musicality and flow on the social dance floor.
Important Details
Because the curriculum is cumulative, we strongly encourage students to commit to the full four-week series to get the most out of the experience. Drop-ins are allowed, but regular attendance ensures you master the progression of skills.
