You have been dancing Balboa for a year, you know the basics and want to develop your dancing further by bettering your technique and expanding your vocabulary.

You’re familiar with basic Balboa rhythms and can lead/follow steps in PureBal (uphold/downhold basic, ad-libs/side steps, paddles, come around) as well as BalSwing (throw out/toss out, lollies, out&ins).

 You’ve been dancing Balboa for a while now, regularly attend social dances, and travel to festivals. You can lead/follow complex movement sequences, even at faster tempos. You play with rhythms and incorporate various stylings into your dance. You want to not only refine your technique, but also work on musicality, movement flow, and developing your own personal dance style.

You are a true Balboa rug cutter. You’ve been dancing for a very long time, regularly attend international festivals, and have already made it to the finals of several dance competitions. You are a prominent figure in your local Balboa scene and are likely already teaching or preparing to teach. On the dance floor, at any tempo, you combine complex transitions with impressive styling. You play with the texture of your dance, rhythms, and deeply understand the source of your movement. You know a lot about Balboa—but more importantly, you know there’s always more to learn.

Selected dancers may be invited to this group without an audition.
