Friday, May 18th — Baby Soda plays at Boston Swing Central!
We kinda love this band from NY — they sometimes have a more charlston-y feel, but it’s still great music for Balboa, especially when they start cookin’. Hope to see you there!
Sunday, May 20th — Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon!
This Sunday! We’ll once again have a beginner lesson starting at 3:30pm with open practice time starting at 4:30pm and DJ’d music kicking in around 5.
June 7-11 — All Balboa Weekend group discount
We still need just 2 more people to commit to attending ABW to get another discount. If you haven’t already registered or you already registered and haven’t told me you want to be part of the group, shoot me an email and we’ll get this thing done! You’ll save a bit more than $20 each for you and 8 other people!
Thursday, July 26th — The Hot Club of Cowtown at Boston Swing Central
In recent years, we’ve only been able to catch the Hot Club of Cowtown in venues without much of a dance floor and we’ve had to make do in small corners or on concrete. Well, the folks at Boston Swing Central have managed to catch them on the northeast leg of their upcoming summer tour for a special Thursday night dance. (Props to our own David Fisher for getting the ball rolling on this!) Let’s try to help pack the joint so we can get more of these special treats! Tell all your friends, even the ones who might not dance but love the music. They sound like a cross between Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills – hot!
October 13-14 — TinkerBal!
Save the date!
TinkerBal is a small-group Balboa workshop designed to support personalized learning. This weekend is a chance to really delve into the details of your Balboa. Note that we will be capping registration to keep groups small and to maintain lead-follow balance.
Our instructors are four of the world’s best: David Rehm, Teni Lopez-Cardenas, Bobby White, and Kate Hedin. Class content will be tailored by the instructors to the needs of each group.
Registration should open sometime in mid-June. Check out the website for more details!
Hope to see you soon, dancing Bal!
