After the crash course, we will have our regular Friday Social Dance where you can meet others and casually practice your newly acquired dance skills. https://fb.me/e/5tKESfMyl
What is Balboa? In short, Balboa is a swing dance style with its roots in southern California during the 1920s-30s, blending the closed embrace connection dancing of "Pure Balboa" with the energetic and showy dancing of "Bal-swing". Today, it is danced all over the world, with many major cities having Balboa scenes and hosting Balboa festivals throughout the year. If you like the dance, we also have weekly classes in Lindy Hop and Balboa later in the semester. https://ntnuidans.no/dans/1/21
