IMPORTANT!
Beginning June 1, 2023 OnlineBalboa will be moving to a new streaming and payment service. As such, we won’t be able to carry over the accounts and passwords to a new location. If you purchase a lesson here today, or have purchased lessons here before, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THEM before that date.
To download a video, simply play the video, and a downward arrow should be visible on the playbar. Click that arrow and your download should begin.
And, please do not give those downloaded lessons to others; we’re a very small company run by two not-very-highly-paid artists, and piracy greatly affects us.
About the lesson:
These are the first two lessons of BAL PLAY: 6 lessons designed for Balboa dancers to get better at both technique and improvisation, all through the act of play. Buying one of these lessons buys both, and the same password will get you into both lessons.
Movement: Secrets and in-depth ideals to help foster healthy and attractive looking movement in Bal, from the physics and anatomy of stepping to the way people create the look of being “behind the beat” and residual movement.
Rhythm: The fundamentals of swing rhythm and how our movement relates to it as Bal dancers. Slows, quicks, Ba-Dums, triples, skipping, and three different looks at emphasis. Once again, all systematically broken down into small pieces for ultimate play.
Other Bal Play lessons: Punctuation, Kicks, Turns, Slides. Or see them all on our Bal Play page.
