Class Information
Five years ago we had our first Swing Sessions: Balboa with Angie and Matt and they have become Victoria’s favourite Balboa instructors. On February 8, five years to the day of their first Swing Session, they are back again to bring you more Balboa! 3 Classes for everyone, 1 Invitational Class & 1 Social Dance! Passes go on sale January 11 at noon at our SDAV Square Shop!
Build confidence and expand your repertoire. These classes will broaden your Balboa beyond the horizon and have you comfortable and confident enough to rip up the social dance floor. Learn some fancy-looking but easy-to-execute Balboa moves that’ll impress on the social dance floor!
For this workshop, you MUST know the Balboa basics.
The first three Classes are recommended for dancers who are comfortable with balboa basics (up and down holds/regular and break rhythm), dancing balboa socially, and have a desire to learn more.
The Invitational Class is recommended for dancers who have a combination of years of dancing experience, above average balboa skills, and an enthusiasm for Balboa. You feel extremely comfortable dancing Balboa at a variety of tempos with a variety of partners and enjoy changing up footwork and moves to fit the music. To take these classes, you must participate in the other three classes to help your fellow balboa dancers, but you will only pay the invitation class rate. If you feel this is the Class for you, please email hello@swingvictoria.net
We understand it can be difficult to judge yourself. If you are unsure, ask a friend or send us a message or email at hello@swingvictoria.net
