Tuition includes all six 60-minute sessions, six hours total of instruction, plus breaks and practice time. It also includes up to three free repetitions of this course!

MORE INFO: http://swingtime.info/lessons-balboa1.html Balboa is currently the top dance craze in the swing-dance world, with weekends, competitions, workshops and events specifically devoted to Balboa springing up across the globe. Balboa is a fun, exciting yet relaxed, dancer's dance, with footwork, leading-following, and patterns that range from simple to intricate. The basics are easy to learn, yet the dance has enough depth and complexity so that dancers can progress and enjoy years of entertainment. Many songs you hear, not just at swing dances but out in the general public, are meant for Balboa.
