Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!I actually tried a little (very little!) Bal while I was trying to learn Lindy (I've given up on that!) Bal seemed much more natural and easy. I may try to get that and East Coast down someday. All I need is the right partner (don't we all??) |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!
Well, that's a very enlightened attitude! Bal has the highest ABG risk of any dance, so it's to be expected. But if it gets "suspicious", feel free to "elevate" on a kick-through. :wink: |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa! I've just finished my four week block in balboa- i feel pretty confident with it too, although, i don't have a dance partner (which is the sad part :cry: )

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!
there's a couple here in seattle that combines bal & 20s charleston all the time. they're actually teaching a class at the balboa rendezvous in san diego. balboa rocks - no doubt about it!! my lindy sucks ever since i started bal b/c i don't dance it nearly as often anymore!! |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!4 months!! do you miss it? or are you satisfied with country dancing? i used to love casino salsa, but gary doesn't dance anything other than the swing dances, so i stopped a few years ago. i should look it up now that i'm in a new city! |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!
it's hard for me to judge gary since he's my hubby & all, but i think he's one of the best bal leads around. you should come out again... he really enjoyed your dance together!
does your beau balboa or country dance? |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa!
Yeah, I don't blame you! After dealing with the same crap in my old city, I decided not to get involved in the same thing here so it doesn't ruin my dancing experience. I'm glad you found a place to go that you really enjoy! Maybe one day we can get dinner before you go dancing since we live right around the corner from the Hen! |

Re: YAY! I finally learned Balboa! You're new enough to not have experienced the junk I did about a year ago. Thank goodness!
