Level Descriptions

You have a decent amount of confidence on the social floor executing the basic patterns of balboa and bal swing . If you are looking for more options on the dance floor this is the track for you.
NEW! Accelerated Fundamentals Track
Friday Evening and Saturday morning only. This track has some overlap with the Full Weekend tracks.
​
New this year, this track will give you all the basics you need to have a fun-filled Bal Week(end). Designed for dancers who want to revisit the fundamentals at a faster pace or who are new to Balboa but bring existing dance experience. Classes will move more quickly than a traditional beginner track, with an emphasis on translating existing dance knowledge into comfortable, expressive Balboa.
This track is a great fit for:
-
Beginner Balboa dancers who are comfortable in a faster-paced, accelerated learning environment
-
Experienced Lindy Hoppers exploring Balboa and looking to build on their existing swing dance knowledge
-
Experienced dancers from other styles who are new to Balboa and want a faster path to comfortable mechanics and self-expression
-
Intermediate and advanced Balboa dancers looking to revisit their fundamentals or learn a different role
No previous Balboa experience is required, but prior dance experience or comfort learning movement at an accelerated pace is recommended.
