Get ready for Swing Time's Balboa Boot Camp, an intensive workshop that gives you the benefit of an entire four-week Balboa course, all in one afternoon! Two levels are offered, with instructors determining your appropriate level. Balboa Boot Camp happens Saturday, June 17th, 2-6pm, at Simone Salsa, 8336 W Hillsborough Ave in Tampa. REGISTRATION / BOOT CAMP INFO / INSTRUCTOR INFO — [hidden] Level 1 (Beginning) — Learn Balboa. Level 1 is for dancers with little-to-no Balboa experience, and for dancers who want to master the basics. Level 1 features four hours of intensive instruction, drills, and practice, taking you step by step through many of the 12 fundamental moves of Balboa. These include the Downhold Basic, Uphold Basic, Ad Libs, Scoots, Paddles, Come Arounds, Lollies, Throw Outs & Returns, Outs & Ins, Lunges & Crossovers. Learn to skillfully dance these moves, and you'll be ready for the Intermediate Level at Balboa events worldwide! Level 1 is taught by Sam & Andrea. Level 2 (Intermediate) — Advance Your Balboa. Level 2 is for dancers who know the basics of Balboa and are comfortable social dancing Balboa. Level 2 is all about increasing the quality of your Balboa dancing. Participants will learn new Balboa moves and variations, refine and polish their fundamentals, and increase the musicality of their dancing. Level 2 is taught by Tom & Aryn. Balboa Boot Camp is followed by the Saturday Swing Lindy Hop & Balboa dance that evening, which is included in the price of your Boot Camp registration. This is a great opportunity to dance what you learned in the Boot Camp. Saturday Swing is the only dance in Tampa Bay that focuses exclusively on Lindy Hop & Balboa. That means you can dance these dances all night long, to every song.
