6-Week Series of Balboa and Bal-Swing Lessons

Join us Sundays at Born 2 Dance (262 Cedar Lane SE, Vienna VA) for our Balboa and Bal-Swing class.

The 6 week series includes a 20 minute practice after class.

We will focus on Lollies, Toss-Outs, and Cross-Overs — staples of the open-connection Balboa known as "Bal Swing." You'll fine-tune your footwork, solidify your stretch, and create a better connection with your partner, the music, and with the dance floor itself. No previous Balboa experience necessary.
