We love balboa and would love to see more balboa danced in our social scene :) We are aiming this special class at swing dancers who know the balboa basic and are keen to gain confidence and vocabulary for their social dancing. Come and explore just how fun, creative and musical balboa can be!

These classes are designed for dancers starting from scratch. They'll introduce the fundamentals of swing dancing, the basic shapes and some accessible moves you can use on the social dance floor. Each class will build up your swing dancing vocabulary so you can start creating and improvising with your partner. Expect to have fun and meet loads of new people, while you explore becoming a grounded, versatile and expressive dancer. We'll also share some of the amazing artists who have created jazz music and hope to inspire you to learn more about this rich, living culture.

We are so excited to offer a follow up workshop to our recent "Solo jazz from scratch". Perfect for anyone discovering solo jazz or looking to refine their rhythm and moves! We will learn new jazz steps and recap previous ones too. No need to have attended the last workshop - all welcome!

This workshop is aimed at dancers with some experience already in either balboa, blues or lindy hop...the classes will be tailored to make sure dancers of all styles have a great experience!
