1:00pm to 3:30pm
Finally! An intermediate-level workshop for Balboa dancers who are very comfortable with the basics of Balboa and ready for more Balboa shapes (rotational vs. linear, toss-outs and out & in variations), refinement in their dance movement and more creativity.
We strongly recommend pairing up with another person to ensure lead-follow balance.

This workshop is for newer Balboa dancers who can comfortably do the basics of Balboa, and for intermediate Balboa dancers who want to finesse their techniques and learn other moves and unique variations.
