At Swing Tyne we aim to provide a variety of opportunities for all levels of dancers to focus on improving their technique and skill set. After having organised a number of beginner and improver Balboa workshops in recent months-

This weekend one is for INTERMEDIATE PLUS dancers!

Mel &amp; Jo Calanglang from London will be providing 8 hours of Pure Bal and Bal Swing with an optional hour's taster lesson included of Slow Balboa over the 2 days at James &amp; Basil's Church hall,  Fenham,  Hall Drive, Newcastle NE49XP (Saturday &amp; Sunday).


Mel and Jo are dance enthusiasts who dedicate their time to encourage swing dancing in the United Kingdom.  Being familiar with lindy hop and blues, their current passion is mastering Balboa and Bal-swing - a journey of continuous learning. Currently, you can find them social dancing and competing at various events across Europe and the United States.  They also teach Balboa/Bal-swing and facilitate pilot sessions throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.  Their “down-to-earth” and positive attitude helps to make the classes they teach not only informative but also very enjoyable.  Mel still continues his love for music as a DJ and emcee at dance events across Europe and the United States.

Their aspirations to be balboa ambassadors stems from their drive to continuously learn and share the passion and knowledge of dance to enthusiasts alike.
