Intro to Balboa Fundamentals 1A & 1B
The Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Ave, Studio 2, Cambridge, MA
Fundamentals 1A assumes no dance experience at all, and will teach the fundamental connection techniques for partnered Balboa dancing, along with the primary figures of Balboa, and Fundamentals 1B refines those techniques and adds a few more figures. Class is taught ELEF (Everybody Leads Everybody Follows), which helps you better understand how both roles work and feel, so that beyond this series, you can choose the one that suits you, or choose to keep dancing in both! No partner is necessary, as we will rotate partners in class. PLEASE NOTE: CLASSES ARE CUMULATIVE, and drop-ins are not possible after the first 2 sessions of Fundamentals 1A. Join us September 15 for the start of Fundamentals 1A!
