You already do partner dancing of some kind, have tried Balboa or Blues, and are comfortable with the Close Embrace position.
Dips, Aerial Movement & Lunges for Balboa & Blues Dance!
This workshop will introduce you to a variety of advanced movements tailored for Balboa and Blues dancing. These will add depth, fun, and visual appeal to your dancing. Lana & Eric have carefully selected each movement, focusing on those that are both safe and easy to master. This workshop is suitable for students who have never experienced or attempted aerial movements before. (The aerial movements will involve the follower leaving the ground, but will not involve high aerial movements and flips.)
There will be partner rotation in this workshop. (Participants are also welcome to stay with the partner they came with, if they prefer.)
NEED A PARTNER?
A partner is NOT required. It is common for people to attend by themselves. Partner rotation is allowed and encouraged in all lessons. You may register on your own or with a partner. Nevertheless, if you still seek a partner, please post that at the Facebook event.
You can also ask people at Swing Toronto dances and such. You could also click the buttons above for help.

PREREQUISITE
NO PARTNER REQUIRED.

Learn a great way to dance to Slow Swing music.
Slow Balboa is a smooth graceful Dance, perfect for slow swing tempos. It is a classic Swing Dance enjoying an enthusiastic modern revival, and can be adapted for many styles of slow music.
Part 1: Learn the Slow Balboa basic, repeated triples and pivots.
Part 2: Deconstructing the basic and playing with the Promenade (a follow favourite)
This workshop is also suitable for intermediate and advanced Slow Balboa dancers wishing to practice and brush up on their technique.

Vaccination proof NOT required. Masks optional.
PREREQUISITE
NOTE: You need to bring your own dance partner.
You need to be athletic. You need to bring your own dance partner (because unlike all other workshops & lessons there is no partner rotation in this kind of workshop). The leader needs to be able to easily carry the follower around.
Already being able to do Lindy Hop or another kind of partner dance is recommended.
This is some of the best and most fun stuff in dancing, or at least we think so.
This workshop has something of a Lindy Hop and Swing Dance orientation, but some of what is taught is also suitable for other partner dancing.
Partner dancing has a third dimension, up and down, from the floor to up in the air.
We might go past the stated end time.
This workshop is not a repeat of what we did in our Saturday January 27, 2024 Air Steps & such workshop. It will be entirely different.
