Slow Bal • start: 09/09/2025

About the event

Slow bal, or dancing balboa to a slow tempo. We learn a dance primarily based on the style of Dean and Nancy Raftery (their slow bal originated in the 1980s), but with elements of earlier forms danced by balboa dancers to slow tempos (e.g., laminu, which originated in the 1940s) and more contemporary inspirations mainly drawn from balboa. There's much to describe, but perhaps it's better to see: https://youtu.be/oWp_RubMwgA We have been conducting classes in this form for a year now. We invite people who already have experience with slow bal as well as new enthusiastic individuals who pick up quickly and are ready to catch up with the group, e.g., through individual lessons. REQUIREMENTS: - Knowledge of balboa basics: dancing in close position, crosses, throw outs, or other dance experience to slow tempos (e.g., as in blues dances) or in close positions (e.g., as in standard and blues dances). ⭐ Registration: https://www.swingout.pl/kursy ⭐ SLOW BAL: Ania and Rafał 📅 Tuesdays, start: 09/09/2025 ⏰ Time: 19:00 - 20:15 💰 380 PLN 📍 ATTP, pink room (ul.
