We talk about how to make your Balboa better in every way and teach you what you need to improve everything. This class is for anyone and everyone who has taken our Balboa Fundamentals class at least once (preferably twice…) and is comfortable dancing Balboa at a variety of tempos. To take this class, you should be able to lead or follow: A basic, a come-around, a throw-out, Out-And-Ins and Lolly kicks. If you’ve got all that and are ready for more fun stuff, come on out!
Lindy Hop Beyond Basics | 9 p.m. – 10 p.m.
The incredible Lindy Hop! This class is for dancers who have taken our Lindy Hop Fundamentals class at least once (but really twice would be better…) and are ready to learn a lot more! In this class, we will be putting the spotlight on improving connection and frame, playing with different rhythms in your footwork, adding styling to your basics, as well as learning new steps and moves! This class is meant for dancers who go out socially a few times a week and are able to put this new material into practice. You should be able to comfortably lead a swingout, lindy circle, side-by-side charleston, and mix in your 6-Count Lindy with ease. If that sounds like you, come and join us!!

BALBOA FUNDAMENTALS | 6:00 p.m. — 7:00 p.m.
Balboa is a classic vintage swing dance that is experiencing a MAJOR resurgence around the world with whole dance camps devoted to this fun and fantastic dance! Originally created in Southern California during the Swing Era, Balboa is danced close to your partner and is mostly associated with fast, close-to-the-floor footwork and incredible moves. Balboa’s simple basic rhythm and footwork make it a great choice for dancing and enjoying faster tempos of swing music, but as the originators of the dance insist, Bal is danced to ALL tempos. In this class, we teach solid technique for some of the foundational moves in Balboa including Come-Arounds, Throw-Outs, Out-And-Ins, Lolly Kicks and more. Come learn this amazing classic dance! It’s addictive…
LINDY HOP FUNDAMENTALS | 7:00 p.m. — 8:00 p.m.
Lindy Hop is the classic swing dance from the original swing era! Originally developed in Harlem in New York City, the Lindy Hop swept the nation. Danced with a mixture of six-count and eight-count rhythms, Lindy is a very versatile and musical dance that will keep you coming back for more. It can be smooth, it can be crazy, it’s easy to learn but you can keep learning and improving forever, if you want to! The Lindy Hop was called lots of things over the years (Swing, Jitterbug, The Lindy and more) and is the mother dance from which East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing derive, as well as the several ballroom and European versions (Jive, Rock and Roll dancing, Boogie-Woogie, etc.) In this class, you learn the basic concepts for leading and following, connection and frame, and of course, many of the signature basic moves like some awesome 6-count moves (commonly called East Coast Swing), the Swingout (plus a few variations on it), Lindy circle, side-by-side Charleston, and much, much more! But be warned, Lindy Hop becomes an obsession very quickly!!! (When you’re done for the evening, why not stick around for the evening dance at 8pm? )
