All classes are masks optional, COVID-19 vaccination recommended.
Stay tuned to hear about our upcoming classes and revamped curriculum.
Balboa
Balboa is a close-embrace up-tempo swing-era dance. It’s full of subtle, complex footwork and involves less, well, sprinting. Check out the Facebook group Philly Balboa to see where folks are practicing and dancing.
Blues Dancing
We do teach slow, close embrace dancing as part of our overall classes, but we don’t teach Blues dancing; there’s another amazing organization that does! Check out Powerhouse Blues!
