    Taught by Janelle and Dabe Murphy

    Saturday, March 29
    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).
