JOEL & ALISON PLYS! We’re thrilled to be bringing Joel &
Alison back to Rochester for our 3rd annual Balboa weekend! They are known internationally for their
lively & expert dance instruction - their charisma, energy, and clear &
entertaining teaching style make for a fun, positive dance experience! Whether you’re brand new to Bal - or you’ve
been working on it for a while and are eagerly awaiting J&A’s return – this
weekend is for you!
BALBOA! A 1930’s swing-era dance that originated in
Southern California, Balboa is enjoying a huge resurgence among Swing dancers.
Done in closed position with easy smooth footwork, Bal connects you with your
partner and captures the lilt of the music, whatever its speed. Best of all it
works for music that is way too fast for regular swing dancing, allowing
dancers at any level to calmly dance to blazingly fast tempos with ease! And during a dance, you can go back &
forth between your regular swing dancing & your Bal.
“Pure” Balboa, the original dance, is
done entirely in closed position with footwork variations.
In “Bal-Swing,” partners open up to allow
for breakaways, swing turns and other variations.
