Tuesday's 21, 28 March & 4 April - 3-week Balboa & Blues Course with Simon & Nina

7.40pm Balboa Class - Beginners with Nina, Intermediate with Simon
Balboa is a beautiful 1930s Swing dance that was popular on the West Coast of America. With its eight count basic, it is easy to mix into your existing Swing dance or can be danced in its own right. Click here for a social demo by Simon & Anna
8.30pm Social Practise
9pm Blues Class - Slow dancing, soulful, playful, and creative. General level
Blues is what we dance to slower Swing & Jazz that doesn't always suit a Lindy. It is also danced to Blues music and a variety of modern music. The basic footwork is simple and quick to pick up and the connection and expressiveness of the movements make this dance very special and will improve all your dancing.
