Price: €20 per person
We are used to thinking that Balboa is a couple dance, one with a very intense connection with your partner.
In reality, there are not two, but three of us on the dance floor: you, your partner, and the music. And each of those three matters equally.
In this workshop, we will explore this trinity. We will work on how to make even the very basic elements of your dance musical, how to find musicality as a couple and be inspired by each other’s ideas, how to make every dance a unique experience, make your partner feel good, and never get bored.
To participate, you are required to know all the basic Bal moves (down-hold and up-hold basics, throw out, lollies, swivels, etc.) and transition comfortably between them, as we will not focus on learning new moves but rather on using and improving what you already know. Whether you’ve been dancing for a while and have some musicality tools in your pocket already, or you are just beginning this journey and might not even know a lot of moves and variations, you will find something to take away from this workshop.
LEVEL:
You’ve been dancing Balboa for at least 1 year, you know all the basic moves and can transition between them smoothly.
