Levels

Balboa Intermediate

You already have the basics of Balboa and you regularly dance it socially. You want to enrich your vocabulary and deepen your knowledge of the dance. You are looking for a comfortable-speed class introducing you to new style variations, higher tempos and more advanced combinations. 

Slow Bal

You are already dancing some swing, either balboa or another style, or you are a regular blues dancer. You are curious about Slow Bal and you want to get a crash course in it. This track will keep a fast pace, going from the basics to some step combinations and advanced figures.

Balboa Advanced

You have been dancing Balboa for some time, you travel to festivals and to dedicated social events and regularly practice it on the dancefloor with other experienced dancers. You are comfortable dancing above 200BPM and know multiple footworks and variations of the basic figures. You want to improve your flow, connection and creativity in your dance. You are looking for a faster-paced class covering a wider range of topics.
