BEGINNERS

So! You’re new to Balboa, and you don’t know know what the best order is for doing these online lessons. Here’s our recommended order:

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.

Bal-Swing for Beginners DVD

This DVD covers the fundamentals of all the major “Swing” steps (as in,the “Swing” of “Bal-Swing.”) It covers Out & Ins, Lollies, Toss-Outs, and a few other turns.




Technique for Followers DVD

This DVD was a revolution when it first appeared — instruction for followers that doesn’t involve patterns, but instead, helps followers program their body to react on a moment by moment basis, the way following is truly experienced.




Swivels I

This is, in a lot of ways, the “fifth basic step” after dancers have learned their Pure Bal Basics, Out & Ins, Lollies, and Toss-outs. Also, look out for Swivels II as a new lesson we’ll be adding soon.




Finally, check out our FREE lesson on Posture & Connection.

Once you’ve covered these bases, you’re probably ready for Intermediate material.
