Slow bal

 

One of the things we are asked to teach most often is Slow Balboa. But since we are only ever able to offer it as a taster, we are never able to truly teach all that we have to offer... until now. Here is a six-week balboa course designed to get you to stop leaving the dance floor when you hear those slow songs! We begin by covering the fundamentals as they were taught to us in the classroom by Dean Raftery and Ray Cunningham. We then show how we expanded the dance and changed it to better suit the slow music that you hear currently. This is a dance that is very close to our hearts and our goal is to bring that love to more dance floors across the world.
