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.

That's right, Cumberland Shuffle is coming back to bring you even more vintage jazz dance goodness, this time with some excellent instructors from Seattle, WA! Do you like animal dances? How about cakewalk? What do you think about hearing great jazz all weekend long? And what if you could enjoy all these things for a low low low price? Better mark a spot in your calendars for March 19-21, 2010, because it's Cumberland Shuffle time, y'all.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the HSDS dance last night with Moondust. It was definitely the biggest turn out we've had in years, well over 100 people! I think everyone had an incredible time. Thank you to Moondust for their wonderful big band sound and thank you to Huy for his excellent intermission DJ'ing. (And of course to the flying monkey who always provides a wonderful venue for us!) Thanks to Reuel for coming down, teaching the workshop, and then staying for the dances.

Below is a table of the dances for 2009. Please note, this is our initial scheduling. As we add workshops, weekends, and special dances, this list will change.

No sooner has one dance finished than we're planning for the next one! For the next dance we've rounded up bunch of musicians and crammed them into Moondust Big Band! Moondust is 17 (or more!) talented musicians putting that Big Band sound to your swing dance! Mark your calendar because the dances are only getting better!
