Balboa

Balboa is a vintage partner dance developed in Southern California. At the same time that Lindy Hop was developing in the ballrooms of Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, teens at the Rendezvous Ballroom at Newport Beach, CA were developing a swing dance characterized by chest to chest connection, fancy footwork, and elegant spins and turns. In the modern swing dance scene, Balboa is one of the most relaxed ways to dance to fast music and has a community of dancers in most major cities in the world. The fundamentals class will cover the core movements of the dance as well as the partnering skills necessary to have good social dancing! You’ll learn basics, out and ins, lollies and basic turns, plus the transitions to move between them. In the intermediate class, we will continue with toss outs, swivels, and various styling and communication techniques to make you feel confident on the dance floor.

Casino (aka “Cuban salsa”) and Rueda

Rueda de casino is a group dance that originated in Cuba, in which pairs of dancers execute moves in unison, called out in real time by a member of the circle. Casino (similar to salsa) is the partner dance and rueda is the group dance, usually in the shape of a circle. The beginner class starts at the very beginning with basics of body movement, footwork, and partnering in closed and open positions. Over the course, we will develop a vocabulary of combinations that can be used in partner dancing and the rueda. For the more advanced class, students will join other experienced dancers to explore more complex formats like “llanta” (tire) and modes like “switch.” Dancers should be comfortable with beginning+ rueda vocabulary and ideally have some experience dancing in the opposite role (e.g. leads able to follow and vice versa). Here’s a video of a rueda flashmob to whet your appetite. No partner necessary!
