Balboa dance classes April - May

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. 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)
