We continue working on what we learned during our spring balboa workshop! (Forgot everything? Don't worry, we'll rehearse our balboa basics on Friday!)
Three days of balboa classes (Friday, those of us who need it will rehearse our balboa basics with our local Vaasa teachers. Saturday and Sunday we move on to more intermediate balboa moves with our Swedish power couple Lars & Jenny. Lars & Jenny will also stay long enough to teach our regular Sunday lindy hop class, aimed at those who already know their lindy hop basics).
Please note that:
- we will be rotating partners in class.
- it's preferable that you have at some point tried balboa, so that you're familiar with the style, or that you've got some other typ of couple dance experience (knowledge of how to lead and follow).
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.
