- **Event Name**: Glasgow Balboa FREE taster class
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Hi folks!

Welcome to the start of our 2026 Balboa Classes!

This week we're running a free taster class so folk can come along to try out this elegant yet exciting partner dance. Joyce &amp; Alice will show you the basic step, plus a few fun moves to get you started. In no time, you'll be dancing with your partner!

The week after our taster, a full ten weeks of our Beginner and Improver Lessons will start, taking us up to our exciting Fast Feet Fest weekender.

Class info:
Taster Class: 7-8pm
Social/Practice Time: 8-9pm
Price: FREE!

Usual price: £6 for one class &amp; social; £8 for two classes.

Or, pay for all 10 weeks in advance and you get the bargain price of £50, saving yourself a tenner! 

What to expect:
* Balboa is danced in close hold, where you'll be in close contact with your partner, so we encourage you keep yourself fresh by wearing a clean top, deodorant and using chewing gum or mints!

* Footwear with a slippy sole is preferable, as this will allow you to "swivel" your feet which is important for some moves, and is easier on the knees. Followers traditionally wore shoes with a small heel, however this is down to personal preference.

* We will be rotating partners throughout the lesson as we feel that's the best way to learn. This will enable you to dance with people of different experience levels and as a result, learn faster!

The History bit:
Like other swing dances, Balboa originated on dancefloors in the USA from the late 1920s onwards. It got its name due to its origins on the Balboa peninsula, close to Los Angeles.
