This six week series class is your chance to get up to speed in Balboa! The Balboa is a classic swing era dance from Southern California that has enjoyed a tremendous revival in popularity in recent years, earning it a cult following of die hard dancers. It’s the perfect dance to both look and dance smooth from slow to even the fastest of tempos! With slick moves and fancy footwork, the dance is seriously addictive!

This class will start out with the basic footwork, connection, and fundamentals of the dance. It will then progress into turns, moves (come arounds and toss outs), and the basic styling points of Balboa. Each class will build upon information from the previous class to continuously further your knowledge week by week. Classes will be an hour long followed by a half hour of practice, questions, and individual help. Balboa is a fun dance with a connection and flow like nothing else! Fast, slow, or mid-tempo… this is a favorite amongst dancers!

This class is open to dancers of all levels (beginner to advanced) who are looking to learn Balboa or brush up on the fundamentals. Individuals and couples welcome. Class highlights:

  • Step by step, week by week instruction to make learning easy
  • One hour of instruction per class plus a half hour of help/question time
  • Concentration on dance dynamics
  • Learn solid lead/follow principals
  • Learn moves that add style and strengthen the basics
  • Class goal is to get you comfortable on the dance floor with Balboa!

Quotes and Comments

“Rob and Dawn Shrewsbury of Flyin' Footwork have a way of dancing that is eye-grabbing, without a trace of gratuitous flamboyance. Their dancing is a true INTERACTION with the music, whether it's rolling from a live band on stage, or a beaten-down Juke Box. Lovely people - their spirit comes out in their dancing. A Joy to behold, I love playing for them and their crowd!”
