*** ALL LEVELS - FRENCHY BAL-SWING ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
This month, our fantastic guest teacher Romain, visiting from France, and Pinar will add a bit more spice to your Balboa with an entire month of Bal-Swing. They will add spins and turns, returning to closed position connection on occasion. The class will cover cross over-breaks, lolly kicks, throw outs, the come-around, and many variations thereof for those more experienced dancers (and you know you will have some fancy stuff with Romain teaching). The class starts with basics, so all levels are encouraged to take it.
*** LEVEL 1 - BLENDING RHYTHMS ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
It's time to swing! One of the most fun parts of swing dancing is that we get to blend 8-count footwork, 6-count footwork, and other interesting rhythms. It's never boring, to say the least! In this beginner level 3-week series class, Cheryl & Brian will not only teach you some basic 6 and 8-count moves, but we'll also explore the art of transitioning between these rhythms. Through it all, we'll get you swinging' with style!
*** LEVEL 2 - KICK IT TANDEM CHARLESTON STYLE ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Guess who's back? Megan is done having kids, so she's jumping back into teaching again. Kick your Charleston up a notch with some cool tandem moves and fun variations. We'll teach you entrances and exits into Tandem Charleston, and some cool turns and patterns. Don't miss this rare chance to see WNH's founders Trevor & Megan teaching together again.
*** LEVEL 3 - CRAZY SWING-OUTS! ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
Want to learn how to make your swingouts more musical, exciting, and crazy? That will be the aim of this class! Starting from a clean "back to the basic" swingout, we will build step by step to the craziest variations to make your partner smile and set the dance floor on fire!
