Balboa Einsteiger-Workshop

In the organizer's words:

Is the band playing too fast for you again? Learn Balboa!

Balboa is a swing dance that is generally danced in a close position (PureBal), but also in an open position (BalSwing). Through direct communication with the body and small steps, Balboa dancers can dance relaxed to fast music.

Here is a nice example:

In just one day, we will show you your first basic moves and how you can have fun floating across the dance floor with simple steps at any social dance. Afterwards you have the opportunity to join our weekly class every Wednesday. The workshop is aimed at all newcomers without previous knowledge, those refreshing their skills and those changing roles!

Registration is possible with or without a dance partner, as it is common in swing dance for us to change dance partners in class. We will make sure that there is a good balance between leads and follows, so we recommend registering with a partner to avoid (initially) being placed on the waiting list. If you register with a partner, both must register separately.

Since we primarily want to promote the courses of the Swingin' Pool Cologne e.V. with the Balboa beginners' course, we reserve the right to allocate these to local dancers should places become scarce.
