Come celebrate the end of the spring term with us!
Two days of balboa classes (starting with basics, but teachers will also add material for more advanced balboa dancers) + mixed level lindy hop tasters (aimed at dancers who already know their lindy hop basics). Please note that:

• we will be rotating partners in class.
  
• you need to have some experience of swing dancing and/or partner dancing in order to participate in the balboa part of the workshop.
  
• you need to know your lindy hop basics in order to participate in the lindy hop part of the workshop (tasters).
  

If you are new to balboa, here's a quick intro!
Balboa is a stylish swing dance well suited to fast music. Here you can watch a clip what balboa looks like today.
