Week by Week

BAL NIGHT

Monday, July 9th –  Bal Night!

Balboa is a true dancers’ dance. Enjoy a close embrace that’s both sophisticated and cartoonish at the same time. It’s the perfect summer dance, allowing you to stay cool  and not overheat at fast tempos. Work on the subtle connection while improving your connection for other dances at the same time. It’s a great alternative when space is tight or the tempo gets fast – dance a whole song or a few phrases for a break. Because of the close connection, Bal was historically called the “Sweetheart’s Dance” with the Follow’s role being sweet and a little flirty and the Lead’s clever creativity can make the follower giggle and a spectator would never understand why!

    • 6pm – Bal 1.5 Workshop – $20 in advance/$23 at the door (includes the dance) – some basic Balboa experience is required
    • 7:30 – Bal 2 Workshop – $20 in advance/$23 at the door (includes the dance)*
