Come practice your Balboa, review stuff from the workshop, exchange moves and ideas with your peers, or fix that trouble-spot. Or just come and dance. That's cool too.

The practice structure will be very informal and social dance conventions need not apply: if you want to work with the same person for 30 mins, you can; if you want to bring dance videos to reconstruct moves from, do it. We'll play Bal-friendly music at a variety of tempos, and we won't even kick you out if you Lindy Hop to it (but we do reserve heckling rights).

Everyone welcome... even if you've never danced a Balboa basic in your life! There will NOT be any formal instruction, but people will be on-hand to provide feedback or assistance if requested. Kind of like office hours.

Small ($2-3) donation suggested (for rent). If you're a poor student, unemployed, or just don't feel like paying, that's fine, come anyway. You can make it up to us with your cheerful presence and mad dancing skillz.

The last Thursday of the month means VINTAGE NIGHT! Ladies and gentlemen, come dressed in your finest or favorite vintage wear. Feel free to bring beverages or food to share.

Swing every Thursday night with the Hawaii Jitterbugs! 8-11pm, $5 cover, FREE beginner lesson included 8-8:30pm.
