BALBOA UNIVERSITY HISTORY BANDS REGISTRATION

Breaking the normal weekend workshop model...
 After years of teaching and organizing events, I felt it was time to change the way weekend
workshops were run to provide a better experience for all the students that support the weekend.

BALBOA UNIVERSITY© is a new workshop model created with one goal in mind - create better Balboa dancers and instructors.
It will be the most comprehensive, open-minded, and diverse weekend of classes you will ever attend.
     * Classes are focused on the building blocks for the dance:  Balboa, Bal-Swing, and Footwork
     * IN CLASS INSTRUCTORS are utilized in levels 1-4 to provide personal feedback in class when you need it.
     * With so many instructors teaching, you have the opportunity to sample many techniques to be a well-rounded dancer.
     * INSTRUCTOR workshops on Sunday for future and current teachers of Balboa.
     * MULTI-LEVEL classes offered to promote the social aspect of the dance and community focus.
     * HISTORICALLY an amazing opportunity to hear from original Balboa dancers and dance where it all began...
