We are excited to have Drew and Shanley teaching our Foundations to Balboa series this Fall. Over the six weeks you will learn some pure-bal and bal-swing basics that allow you to feel comfortable on the dance floor.

Balboa is a style of swing that started on the west coast around the same time that Lindy Hop was being danced on the east coast. Balboa was danced in crowded ballrooms and is known for its close embrace, shuffle footwork, and the ability to dance it to a variety of tempos.

No partner needed! Prior dance experience is useful but not required.

Thursdays • 7:45- 8:45pm
Sept 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22
$90 for the full 6-week series
$75 if also registering for Foundation to Lindy Hop

Been thinking about trying dance for a while? This is your chance!

Andrew & Sidney are teaching a Foundations to 6-Count Lindy Hop series perfect for:
• Brand new dancers
• Dancers who want to strengthen fundamentals
• Anyone wanting to learn the opposite role 💛

Lindy Hop is the grandfather to all swing dances! It emerged from the African American communities in Harlem, NY in the late 20’s and became widely popular. It is all about connection, improvisation, and play, and that’s exactly what we’ll explore.

You’ll learn classic moves, partner connection, and fun variations to help you feel confident and relaxed on the social floor ✨

No partner or prior experience needed!

We know it can be intimidating trying something new by yourself, so we are offering $20 off the series if you sign up with a friend.

Thursdays • 6:30 - 7:30pm
Sept 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22
$90 for the full 6-week series
