Lily and David will teach you how to transform your swing dancing into this beautiful style. Suitable for intermediate-level students.

    Nothing says Lindy Hop like Air Steps! Frankie Manning revolutionized the dance world when, as a young dancer in the 1930s, he decided to send his partner airborne, land on the beat and keep on dancing. With an emphasis on safety, you’ll learn some super-impressive Air Steps with two of the very best, Joe and Tabitha. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and shoes that stay on your foot securely. PARTNER REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS; recommended for intermediate-level students.

  • Add Balboa to Your Swing Repertoire

    Taught by Janelle and Dabe Murphy

    9:45-10:45am
    $20/person advance registration (advance registration closes Thursday, March 27 at 11:59pm); $30/door

    Just like you mix together Charleston, eight-count Lindy Hop (Whips and Circles), and six-count East Coast Swing, you’ll learn how to transition smoothly into and out of Balboa–regardless of tempo and/or music style–and prepare you for more Lollies, Toss-Outs, Out-And-Ins, and other staples of Bal and Bal Swing.  You’ll fine-tune your footwork, focus on finesse, and create a better connection with your partner, the music, and with the dance floor itself.  No previous Balboa experience necessary; suitable for intermediate-level students (should be familiar with six- and eight-count patterns).
