Balboa Classes

Concept Balboa Intensive classes are for Balboa dancers from Intermediate/Advanced or Advanced level who would like to spend three days really intensively honing their technique. An important part is a lot of space for independent practice and personal feedback. Therefore, we recommend that you concentrate entirely on the class and do not take part in special classes or tasters. There is only one Balboa Intensive track per day, and different levels are offered on different days. The days and topics are listed below.
Focus Technique
Level Intermediate/Advanced (Saturday)
Advanced (Sunday and Monday)
Requirements To participate in the Balboa Intensive classes, you must be able to dance all common basic figures technically correctly and fluently with different partners, even at a fast tempo.
