ExtraCurricular program with Olga
The workshop is over, thank you all!
About
Campus Balboa offers a workshop with Olga, who comes directly from Sweden for the very first time.
We will offer 6 h of workshops that will be split into 4 blocks of 1.5 h which will include 30 m of solo balboa concepts, followed by an integration into your social dancing with a partner.
Olga is known internationally for her online solo balboa classes, which allow balboa dancers around the world to practice key concepts of the dance from the comfort of their homes.
In April, we will have the rare opportunity to see how those concepts can be applied to partnered dancing.
The workshop is over, thank you all!
Required Level
This is an all levels workshop with a caveat: we assume that you know the basics of balboa to participate in the workshops. Newcomers are welcome to attend the dances, but you should have at least taken a couple of months of classes before registering. This is to ensure that you do not find yourself overwhelmed, and to ensure that other attendees can focus on what is being taught. If any of these words are unknown to you, please consider taking regular classes in your local dance scene instead!
