Happy Pride! 🩵🩵🩵 June classes start tonight! **Note that there is a Balboa practice on Wednesdays from 9-9:30 after class. LEVEL 1 CHARLESTON Thursdays 7pm-8pm Dates: 5, 12, 19, 26 Instructors: Anthony and Karson This class will get you moving on the dance floor, and here we’re focusing on the dance that started it all. This dance is often interspersed within any social swing dance, or can be danced standalone. Charleston is the jelly to the Lindy Hop peanut butter. This basic also helps you dance to faster music, without feeling like you’re working too hard—but you’ll never feel like you’re getting this much exercise when you’re having so much fun! LEVEL 2 CHARLESTON Thursdays 7pm-8pm Dates: 5, 12, 19, 26 Instructors: Keara and Blake We will be starting from the connection and aesthetics of the basic, and moving quickly on to build on the technique and connection of other patterns in hand to hand and tandem charleston as well. No partner required. You must have either taken all three months of beginner series classes to register for this class, or have talked with one of the instructors about being placed at this level. LEVEL 1A BALBOA Wednesdays 8pm-9pm Dates: 4, 11, 18, 25 Instructors: Irina and Anthony Description: In this new 2-part class we will work on the foundation of Balboa and some classic moves! Balboa is a close embrace swing dance from Newport Beach in the 1940s, characterized by smooth shuffling footwork, kicks, and turns. This is a great elegant dance to know especially for those faster tunes! Keep an eye out for part 2 of this series titled “Level 1B Balboa.” No partner or experience required. LEVEL 2A BAL-SWING Wednesdays 7pm-8pm Dates: 4, 11, 18, 25 Instructors: Irina and Anthony Description: In this class, we will continue to build on the foundations of Balboa, learn some more classic moves, and work on the flow between sequences! Prerequisites: must have taken Balboa Level 1A and 1B; should have decent proficiency with pure-bal basics, come arounds, toss outs, out and ins, lollies, and promenades.
