In this level you will build up your lead and follow technique, musicality, learn classic lindy hop moves as well as new more challenging material, and improve your styling.
Intermediate/Advanced +: You have been dancing couple of years and you can confidently dance all the basic patterns mentioned for the Intermediate level as well as variations on those patterns. There will be a lot of new material and different tempos to expand and improve your vocabulary of moves and technique.
Balboa Int +: designed for intermediate and advanced dancers who are confident with the fundamentals — including Up & Down Hold, Come Around, Toss-Out, Swivels, Out & In, and more.
