Class Information
3 Classes for everyone plus 2 Challenge Classes & 1 Social Dance!
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 two Challenge Classes are recommended for dancers who have a combination of years of dancing experience 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 take the other three classes.
We understand it can be difficult to judge yourself. If you are unsure, ask a friend or send us a message or email.
Location
This event will take place at the View Royal Community Hall.
