Venue: Tangobaustelle, Brückenkopfgasse 2

Levels

Balboa Easy

You master the basic steps of Balboa (Up Hold Basic, Down Hold Basic, Out-And-Ins) and can lead or follow moves such as the Come Around. You want to expand your Balboa repertoire and deepen your understanding of the dance - all to faster and faster music!

Balboa Hard

You know the basic moves of Pure-Bal and Bal-Swing (Up Hold Basic, Down Hold Basic, Come Around, Throw/Toss Out, Lollies, Out-And-Ins, Lollies, Swivels etc.), some of their variations and footwork variations. You have a secure sense of rhythm for slow and fast music and you are trying to reflect the musical elements in your dance. You have been attending Balboa workshops since at least one year and are looking for new challenges? Then this is the right place for you.

Collegiate Shag Easy

You’ve caught shag fever and you enjoy the footwork of the double rhythm shag. You have mastered the heel-up and double-kick basic step, can lead or follow simple figures and are looking forward to more…

Collegiate Shag Hard

When you listen to shag music, your feet tingle because you like to dance at a fast tempo and have mastered various basic steps (heel-up, double-kick, step-kick, heel-toe) with confidence. You can clearly express your dance role and interpret breaks in the dance in a variety of ways. You are motivated to quickly implement what you have learned and expand your lead*follow skills.
