Balboa, the ever feared and respected swing dance. Even among swing dances, balboa is a separate peak to be conquered. However, with the right help, you can go from 0 to 60 in no time flat. Thats what this workshop is all about, giving those with no experience a chance to get cruisin and those with some balboa experience a chance to turn it into a solid part of their swing repertoire.

Update 3/1: Class descriptions are up!
Class 1 – The Good Stuff: Getting comfortable with the feel and basic steps of the balboa

Class 2 – The Better Stuff: Adding some pure balboa moves to your basic

Class 3 – The Great Stuff: Moves to make you look great on the dance floor

Class 4 – The Best Stuff: Teaching a classic “old timer” balboa move for some major eye candy on the floor that combines a little bit of everything learned so far and more.

Huntsville has never really had a good, in-depth balboa lesson. We're about to change that. And we're going to do it BIG. We're going to have a balboa workshop with two days of moves taught by Corey and Susan from Nashville. This workshop is geared at people with basic swing knowledge but no balboa knowledge. At the end, you'll be dancing balboa on its own and making it an intrinsical part of your lindy.

Balboa is a form of swing danced to fast music. It utilizes small steps to make dancing to faster music possible. You can interweave lindy with balboa the same as Charleston.
