-----Whether you're a newbie to the dance floor or a seasoned swing dancer looking to brush up on your skills, our June series is perfect for you.
This month, we're exploring the basics of Balboa & Bal-Swing, a vintage dance from 1930s Southern California. Join us as we dive into the vibrant world of Swing dance while learning how to find & keep rhythm, lead & follow with a partner, and learn to dance to the best music from the last 90 years! Learn more about Balboa at our website: www.swingdancevegas.academy/balboa.
No partner or experience is necessary, as we'll be switching partners frequently. However, those who prefer to dance with only one partner are welcome to do so.
Classes will build upon each other, so it's recommended to start from the beginning to get the full experience.
