Sun 1 Sep 2019, 1:45-3:45 pm. The Lindy Hop bug can be quite the terror once you've been afflicted. Maybe it's your competitive nature that drives you to expand your skills past a one-hour beginner lesson. Perhaps it's your desire to form deeper friendships among one of the most compassionate, accepting communities in the world. Or maybe you just want to be able to better communicate your art on the dance floor with your partner and share your style with the most experienced dancers.
Join our Teaching Director, Zack Buchillon, as he shares his extensive experience in the form of a thoughtful, engaging lesson series. Zack has attended a large number of different workshops where he has learned from and engaged with many of the most renowned international Lindy Hop instructors of our time! We welcome you to explore with other students and dive into the rich culture and history of the dance we are lucky to partake in.
Here's the nitty gritty:

Mon 2 Sep 2019, 8:30 am. What is this balboa thing all about? If you are interested in learning about balboa, how to dance the basics, or want to comfortably dance to faster tempos, this is the place to come! This is not a series you want to miss as it will not only allow students to dance balboa socially, but also prepare them for our October balboa dance and workshop with a special guest instructor!
