Description

3 weeks of Slow Balboa and Laminu classes - both are slow Swing dances which are similar and can easily be mixed

You can choose between Beginner classes and Intermediate classes.

The BEGINNER CLASSES are suitable for dancers with little or no Laminu or Slow Balboa dance experience and those wanting recap fundamental dance techniques of those Swing dances. For the Beginner classes, no dance experience is required but you should note that Laminu and Slow Balboa are commonly danced in a close-embrace position, similar to Ballroom or Tango dancing.

For the INTERMEDIATE CLASSES, prior dance experience of slow Swing or Blues dancing is advantagous. The intermediate classes will build on the content of the beginner classes. If you're very new to Swing dancing or slow partner dancing, we recommend taking the beginner class only. If you have some general dance experience and would like to push yourself, feel free to book both classes at a discounted rate. You can,, of course also just book the intermediate classes on their own.

A CLASS IS 45 MINUTES. In-between the Beginner and Intermediate classes, we have 30 minutes of joint practice time / social dancing. You do not need a dance partner to register for the classes. We generally rotate dance partners to help learn the techniques of following and leading.

You can BUY TICKETS FOR 3, 4 OR 5 CLASSES of a class block for either the dance role of Follower or Leader. Please feel free to choose your dance role according to your personal preference, regardless of gender. Combined tickets for beginners and intermediate classes are also available, at a discounted price.

You're entitled to buy classes at the CONCESSION RATE if you're on low income or have an Edinbop 2026 membership. You can buy an annual membership here on DanceCloud.
