Beginner Balboa with Rob & Zoë
Polish Cadets (Upper Hall), 927 Grant Street, Buffalo, NY
Created by: Buffalo Swing
6:45 - 7:45 Monday August 2nd 2010
Rob & Zoë, fresh from their Honeymoon will be teaching a progressive 6 week session of beginner level balboa (and Bal-Swing) Starting June 28th. It will be every Monday just before Lindy Fix from 6:45 to 7:45. No partner necessary. Cost is $13 for walk-ins or $10 per class if all 6 weeks is paid up-front. Balboa is a swing dance which came from Newport beach in California back in the 1930's during the big band swing era. It is close, fast, & spinny yet is a versatile dance which can be danced slowly as well. Balboa merged later on with Randy Swing to be called Bal-Swing where the connection opens up to allow fancy and amazing moves. The timing of this class is fortuitous since this class will prepare you for the annual Rhythm Shuffle workshop in September. It will give you a solid enough foundation to absorb the workshop material and retain it. It's also damn fun to boot. I know you'll love Balboa and amaze your friends when you demonstrate the skills you will learn in this class.

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
This is the one and only lindy event in Buffalo and it's located on the up-and-coming Grant Street area. Buffalo is finally on its way to establishing a lindy scene. For those of you who don't know, Lindy Hop is a form of swing dancing that came about in the late 20s and early 30s. It went through a resurgence in the mid to late 90s and is going strong across the US and dozens of other coutries. Swing dances featuring lindy are a very social event. Everyone dances with everyone, though it's not typicslly a dating venue. Swing is a lifestyle based on the pure joy of dance: focussed on fun. So bring your spirits and prepare to smile! Beginners are not only wanted, they are required! We need you to make this happen!
DJ'd swing music will feature Big Band, classic swing like the Rat Pack & Ella, Blues, & other popular contemporary swing music.
