Slow Balboa 2 with Rod & Mary
Slow Balboa is a vintage swing dance that originated in southern California in the 1920s, created specifically for slow tunes. Familiarity with Slow Bal is recommended as this is a continuation of our previous Slow Bal series from earlier this year. This series will be a progressive beginning class that starts with the basic steps and adds in moves and styling each week. Join us to learn this fun, elegant dance that makes dancing to Slow Jazz so sweet!

>> What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.
>> Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.
>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
This building is not physically accessible to enter. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact PLS.
