Balboa is a dance that developed on the West Coast the same time Lindy
Hop was being developed on the east coast. It's a very close and fast
dance that's very spinny. It's typically danced to fast big band music
(Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Jimmy Lunceford, Chick Webb, etc.). The
connection dynamic is very different than any other kind of swing dance
and thus is not as easy to learn. Experience in either Lindy Hop or
West Coast Swing is recommended for this class.
Note, Balboa is a close dance and there will be a required partner
rotation in class. Partners will be chest-to-chest. Make sure you are
comfortable with that before signing up.
Classes are taught by Rob & Arlette. Rob is a lindy hop &
balboa instructor & performer from Santa Fe, NM, where he performed
with Moving People Dance Theatre and New Mexico Swing Fix. Rob travels
to many national level workshops and has been honing his skills since
1998. Arlette is a broadly skilled & experienced lindy & balboa
instructor. She performs a variety of dance styles and travels to many
national level workshops. |
