August Balboa Updates

Posted on by

How is it August already?!

It’s been a whirlwind of a summer (complete with whirlwinds and hail), but we’ve still got a bunch of stuff happening in the next few weeks!

BoaSA and Balboa Speakeasy THIS SUNDAY!
That’s right, they’re both are happening this Sunday, August 9th:
Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon from 3pm-5pm at the Dance Complex in Studio 4 and Balboa Speakeasy from 5:30pm-8:30pm at Brass Union. We hope to see you there as it seems like it’s been a while since we’ve been able to practice and dance!

Still don’t think that’s enough Balboa?

Yeah, neither did we! So we’re holding another wandering Saturday Night Shuffle on Saturday, August 22 from 9pm-12:30pm at Movimiento in the South End.
450 Harrison Avenue, Suite 61 (Thayer Street), Boston, MA
(Free parking in the SOWA lot off Albany Street!)

And incidentally, we’re starting up classes again Tuesday September 8 at 8pm. We’ll be running an Intro to Balboa series from 8:00-9:00pm (tell your friends, review your fundamentals!) and also an Intermediate Balboa series immediately afterwards from 9:00-10:00pm! Class information and registration can be found HERE.

Hope to see you soon, dancing Bal!

May into June: Adam & Nelle, ABW, Fundamentals B, special Tuesday-nite practices!

Nelle Cherry & Adam Speen will be here May 30 & 31 for Balboa Inside & Outside the Box weekend! Registration IS NOW OPEN! (Make sure to preregister for best prices!) Nelle and Adam have tons of ideas they want to share with you. (And there will be a Saturday night Shuffle as well.) Seriously, why haven’t you registered yet?

BoaSA & Speakeasy: The next Balboa Speakeasy and Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon practice will be Sunday, July 5. Between All-Balboa Weekend, Father’s Day, and other commitments, there was no available Sunday in June. Most of you are going to ABW anyway, which is awesome!

Quasi-BoaSAs on Tuesdays: Due to the oddities of scheduling, our usual Tuesday class slot from 8-9pm at Dance Complex will be practice sessions on June 2, June 23, and June 30, so come out and work on what you’ve learned! BoaTE FTW!

June/July/August Classes: We’ll be running Balboa Fundamentals B & C during the summer. The schedule will be a little weird, so keep your eye on dates! Fundamentals B will start June 16 at 8PM at the Dance Complex, Studio 5. Fundamentals C will start July 21 at the Dance Complex, Studio 5. These two series will expand your fundamentals and improve your technique — great for those who’ve just finished Intro to Balboa and for experienced dancers who would like to review, refresh and refine.

Hey, Hey, May!

Nelle Cherry & Adam Speen will be here in less than a month (May 30 & 31) for Balboa Inside & Outside the Box weekend! Registration IS NOW OPEN! (Make sure to preregister for best prices!) Nelle and Adam have tons of ideas they want to share with you. (And there will be a Saturday night Shuffle as well.) Seriously, why haven’t you registered yet?

May Classes: We’re coming back ’round again on the guitar, and running our Introduction to Balboa series (Balboa Fundamentals A) on Tuesdays, starting May 5 at 8PM at the Dance Complex, Studio 5. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines because you didn’t think you knew enough Balboa, now’s your chance! This series will present the basic vocabulary and connection techniques for Balboa, and get you out on the floor dancing Bal socially — great for those who’ve never danced Balboa before and for experienced dancers who would like to review, refresh and refine.

What up, April?
