-English below-

Slow balboa je plesni stil, ki  je nastal kot naravna razširitev klasične balboe na počasnejše swing in jazz ritme. Izvira iz originalne balboe, ki se je v 20. in 30. letih razvila v južni Kaliforniji kot kompakten ples z majhnimi koraki za ples v gneči. Ko so plesalci začeli plesati tudi na počasnejše skladbe, so ples prilagodili z mehkejšimi prehodi, daljšimi držami, bolj fluidnimi linijami in izrazitejšo povezavo med plesalcema. Tako se je oblikovala počasna varianta, ki se je razvila predvsem v sodobnih swing skupnostih kot eleganten in bolj intimen slog znotraj balboe.

? Lokacija: Bottoms Up Studio, Celovška cesta 172, 1000 Ljubljana

❗️ Za udeležbo na tečaju je potrebna predhodna prijava, ki jo lahko opraviš s partnerjem ali brez. Da bi zagotovili ustrezno leader-follower razmerje, se lahko posamezniki brez partnerja znajdejo na čakalni listi. Na tečaju priporočamo menjavo plesnih partnerjev, zato tudi tisti, ki se prijavijo s “svojim” partnerjem, ne bodo plesali z njim/njo ves čas. Všeč nam je ideja, da vsak pleše z vsakim.

SLow Balboa - Špela and Nejc

Slow balboa developed as a natural extension of classic balboa for slower swing and jazz rhythms. It originates from the original balboa, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s in Southern California as a compact dance with small steps designed for crowded dance floors. When dancers began dancing to slower songs as well, they adapted the dance with softer transitions, longer holds, more fluid lines, and a stronger connection between partners. This led to the formation of a slow variant that evolved mainly within modern swing communities as an elegant and more intimate style within balboa.

❗️ Advance registration is required to participate in the course, which you can do with or without a partner. To ensure an appropriate leader-follower ratio, individuals without a partner may be placed on a waiting list. We recommend changing dance partners during the course, so even those who register with "their" partner will not dance with him/her the entire time. We like the idea of everyone dancing with everyone else.
