Not sure if this class is for you or don’t see a class for you? Contact Val/John at [email protected] or Swing Toronto. TEACHERS John & Val DETAILS Everybody Leads, Everybody Follows! In this class you will learn balboa from the point of view of both dance roles. Everyone in this class will be expected to lead and follow at a roughly 50/50 ratio. This class is designed for those who are intermediate level balboa dancers in one role, but no previous ELEF experience is required. In this class we will tackle the basic balboa vocabulary plus a little something extra, with a goal of enabling those who have never danced the other role to be successful. Each class in general will focus on a movement or concept, starting from the ground floor and building from there. You should be able to take away vocabulary from the other role, and also a newfound understanding of what it feels like to be on the side of the dance partnership.
