Facilitated Open Practice
This time is dedicated to collaborative workshopping – dancers with more experience are encouraged to bring a video clip to break down or work on learning the opposite role!
This is also a chance for newer dancers to get more focused feedback and extra practice time prior to the lesson.
Don’t have time to run home before the lesson? You’re welcome to come hang out and socialize or eat a quick supper until you’re ready to hop in.
Beginner Balboa Lesson
These sessions will lean towards a more traditional lesson setting, with rotating partnerships and themed content for the evening. Each night will focus on a particular Balboa move(ment), with multi-tiered instruction options for learners of all backgrounds.
*Regular attendance is encouraged, but we acknowledge summer is also a busy time for personal schedules! If you miss a lesson, we suggest coming to the next week’s 6:30pm practice for a recap to stay on track.

This time is geared towards forming more connections with the dancers in Indy, whether you’re a conversation social butterfly or someone who dances every song!
*If you are interested in DJing, also let us know. 🙂
