Don’t miss this exciting weekend in Boston, October 4-5!
January isn’t even over yet, but it’s already time to start thinking about All Balboa Weekend!
The event may happen June (specifically, June 12-15, 2014 in Independence, OH (near Cleveland) but registration opens on February 8th and they’re offering group discounts again — groups of 8 (from the same scene) get a free admission with 7 paid registrations — the caveat being that you have to submit the names before people register.
Boston, let’s do this thing! (and by Boston, I mean New England — RI, CT, NH, ME — all of you!)
Comment here or send an email or join the Facebook event if you’re planning on registering!
Hey guys, we’re teaching an intermediate Balboa series for New School Swing in February! It’s called “Swoops & Loops” and it’ll be full of cool turns and swoopy variations that are super-fun (and reinforce better technique at the same time, yay!). Anyone with competence in the basic Bal figures should enjoy this series. Join us on Wednesdays in February — register at New School Swing website.
And coming up in July 2014, we have confirmed Mickey Fortanasce and Kelly Arsenault for a Cool & Hot workshop weekend, bringing you Mickey & Kelly’s famous fast and slow Balboa expertise! Watch for more details and flyers coming soon!
If you missed the fabulous Balboa for Blues Dancers weekend in November (with David Rehm and Mike Legenthal), or if you want to brush up your Balboa basics, or if you just want to learn all the basic concepts and figures of Balboa really fast in one afternoon:
Join us for Balboa Crash Course!
We’re teaching all the basics in one four-hour sprint from 1-5pm on Saturday Dec 14, and we’d love to see you there! And there’s practice time conveniently scheduled the next day, at Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon!
Did you go to the Balboa social on the last night of TinkerBal? Did you go to the Balboa Speakeasy at Precinct a few weeks ago? If not, then my friend, you are missing out!
A good time was had by all in the back room of Precinct, having tasty snacks, getting their drink on, and dancing Balboa to the sweet DJ tunes from Nelle Cherry. The spinach salad has pork belly in it, yum! The mac and cheese is awesome… and we all had a great time dancing! Come on out and play with us next time… maybe in January? Stay tuned to bostonbalboa.org to find out when the next Balboa Speakeasy will be!
