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!
Monday Swing is equal parts social dance and practicum space. We feature a variety of local DJs to play curated sets of great music.
There is a lesson from 7-8 PM intended for dancers who are ready for a new challenge (typically NOT appropriate for folks who are brand new to the dance). Monday lessons are organized in a 4-5 week series with the topics developed by the teachers. Past topics have included: Jamming and Musicality, Conversational Lindy Hop, The Big Apple, Switch Dancing, and Intro to Balboa.
All Monday Swing dances embrace Practicum etiquette—people are there to work on things and help each other! This is a peer-led effort, although dancers of many levels of experience come out. It’s appropriate for all levels and any degree of “seriousness” about swing dance.
You can come to social dance, chat with friends, work out a new move, practice a routine, re-hash what you learned in the lesson, and be available to help others work on their dancing.
