Current Series (March 25, April 1, 8, 29)

• Advanced Beginner (must have prior experience)
• Intermediate: Old Clips Inspiration

The Adv Beg series will build on the basics with common social dance moves, variations on the basics, and fun rhythm play and stylings. If you took the NCS beginner series or have taken a series or workshop before, this is just right for you!

The Intermediate series is for dancers who have been doing Balboa for at least 6 months. We will be pulling inspiration from some old clips such as the Venice Beach Clip and the Gilmore Stadium Clip.
