Balboa Workshops with Katie & Tristan
Saturday, April 5, 2:30 - 5:15 pm
Odd Fellows Hall
223 SW 2nd Street
Katie Frentress and Tristan Gomez will be coming down from Vancouver, WA to teach two balboa workshops for us prior to our monthly dance.
​
Balboa is a partner dance that originated in Southern California in the 1930s. It can be danced to a wide range of tempos and works well on crowded dance floors.
Schedule:
2:15 pm: Doors Open
2:30 - 3:45 pm: Intro to Balboa: New to Balboa? This is the class for you! We will be covering the footwork patterns, the up-hold and the down-hold basics. We will dive into the Balboa close embrace connection, and work on getting those fundamentals sharp!
4:00 - 5:15 pm: Beyond Beginning Balboa (Lolli-palooza): Picking up where the first workshop left off, we will jump into come-arounds and lollies. For the more advanced dancers, we will offer solo variations for lollies, as well as, focus on sharpening up your connection.
