Sept Oct Balboa Swing Dance Classes!

New round of Balboa swing dance classes! Please read this in its entirety before sending any questions, as most questions will be answered below. Balboa is a swing dance that originated in the 1920s in Southern California and is largely characterized by its smooth, shuffling footwork and close embrace. "Pure Bal" refers to movements where the dance remains in closed position, whereas "Bal Swing" is when the dance opens up and incorporates more dynamic movements such as spins and turns. Balboa is the umbrella term that encompasses both Pure Bal and Bal Swing. The class - LEVEL 1 6:30-8:00pm on Wednesdays September 27, October 4, and 11 (4.5 hrs over 3 days) This level is for those new to Bal Swing or Balboa, or for those wanting to brush up on their basics. LEVEL 2 8:00-9:30pm on Wednesdays September 27, October 4, and 11 (4.5 hrs over 3 days) This level is for those who are comfortable with their Balboa basics and who are wanting to hone their technique and expand their dance vocabulary. (The end time at the top of the FB event is wrong because FB won't allow an event to be longer than two weeks, but rest assured, classes will be 6:30-9:30pm every week) Register early and save! Take both series and save even more! $75 for Level 1 or 2 when paid by September 20 $90 for level 1 or 2 when paid after September 20 $130 for Levels 1 & 2 when paid by September 20 $150 for Levels 1 & 2 when paid after September 20 $30 per 1.5 hr class for drop-ins Level 1 and 2 are back to back to accommodate for those wishing to take both series (it's always good to brush up on basics!); however, if you are new to Balboa, you should not sign up for level 2.
