Balboa classes February-March

Fancy learning to Balboa, a Swing dance suited particularly for faster, swinging Jazz. Its an elegant and smooth partner dance involving a lot of rotations. Balboa is a partner dance and often danced in close-hold embrace, similar to Ballroom or Tango. No idea what dancing Balboa looks like? Take a look here at this YouTube video showing Elena Paiola and Alberto Boffa competing at the recent California Balboa Classics festival. This dance couple will teach in late March at Fast Feet Fest in Glasgow. https://youtu.be/fwfUFvrCOgk You can join either the Beginner classes, for which you don't need any dance experience, or the Intermediate classes. You don't need a dance partner to register. We teach Balboa in blocks of 5 weekly classes, so that we can built progression into our teaching, which we find helpful especially for dancers new to Balboa. You don't have to attend all five classes of a block but we recommend for beginners to not miss too many early classes in a block. Each class costs £8 (£7 concession), and you can buy tickets in advance for 3, 4 or 5 classes. The concession rate applies to anyone on low-income and to 2026 Edinbop member. 19:30-20:15 Beginner class (suitable for absolute beginners) 20:15-20:45 Joint practice time / social dancing 20:45-21:30 Intermediate class (requires previous Balboa experience)
