Nelle’s Balboa Boot Camp (July 2017)

Register Now!

Summer school is in session for newer dancers too!
Join international instructor Nelle Cherry for Balboa Boot Camp July 15-16, 2017!

Nelle frolicking Balboa Boot Camp with Nelle Cherry will recharge your batteries and make your Balboa more dynamic and more fun! Each day will consist of two 75 minute class sessions, followed by a 75 minute practice period, where you can get personal feedback and collaborate with others to reinforce and integrate what you’ve learned. Saturday concepts will focus on Pure Balboa and begin to work on Bal-Swing patterns that focus on rotational momentum, and Sunday will continue with Bal-Swing patterns and lateral momentum.

Balboa Boot Camp registration also includes admission to the Saturday Night Shuffle dance and Sunday afternoon’s Balboa Speakeasy is free as always!

This is the same weekend (and the same workshop venue) as the Corey & Susan Manke workshops for intermediate through advanced/masters students. We hope you will join in all the fun, and all the social dancing!

NOTE: while these classes are intended for newer students of Balboa, you are expected to be at least familiar with the fundamental movements and figures of Pure Balboa and Bal-Swing (ie up-hold and down-hold basics, ad libs, lollies, tossouts, out-and-ins and swivels.) If you’ve never learned Balboa before, please consider taking our Balboa Fundamentals A series or crash course when they are next offered.

Registration is open! IMPORTANT NOTE: if we do not get sufficient preregistrations by July 1, we will have to cancel this event. If the event is cancelled, your pre-registration payment will be fully refunded. (But we hope that doesn’t have to happen!)

Our venue is space-constrained, so register early to make sure you get a spot! Register TODAY!

Pre-registration before July 14: $65
Walk-in price: $90 (includes Saturday Night Shuffle dance!)

About Nelle:

Nelle has been a dancer her entire life with professional training in ballet, tap and jazz. But it wasn’t until she was introduced to social dancing, particularly Balboa, in the spring of ’06 that dancing truly became a passion. Since ’06 she’s trained under the most notable teachers from around the world. Competitively she has won, placed, and made finals in competitions around the world in both strictlies and mix-and-matches, helping keep the classic aesthetics of the dance alive. Teaching allows her to share this passion and experience with other likeminded dancers, as she strives to continually be inspired and inspire others through social and competitive dancing and travel!!

She currently resides in Southeastern Massachusetts where she works as an In Home Therapist when she isn’t dancing!
