Join us for an all-level balboa workshop at The Cove!
November 22nd, the incredible Mickey Fortanasce will be presenting three hours of balboa lessons in Phoenix AZ!
This workshop will consist of 1.5 hours of Bal-Swing, and 1.5 hours of Slow Balboa! You won't want to miss out on this unique opportunity to learn from a world-renowned balboa dancer and instructor.
We are also providing open practice space between topics and after the instruction for you to practice new concepts!
