Description
Balboa workshop for intermediate- and advanced-level dancers with Vera Kokovay and Carsten Hermann
This workshop is suitable for dancers who have attended at least 3 blocks of our intermediate classes on Mondays or have similar dance experience. (The class material will be more complex than that of our second class on Mondays.)
Over three hours, we'll explore more complex dance figures and technique, partnership working, aesthetics / styling and creativity. If you have any questions about this workshop, please speak to Vera or Carsten.
Vera and Carsten have been dancing Balboa together for several years, attending workshops and teaching our local Balboa classes. They love playing with rhythmic variations, dynamic moves and the intricacy of dancing in a close-embrace partner connection.
The concession rate is available to anyone on low income and to 2026 Edinbop members.
