Frosty Feet – Balboa Weekend with Nina & Anthony

Welcome to the First Edition of the Frosty Feet Balboa Weekend!
Defrost your feet from the dephts of winter by sliding into a very cozy workshop with two of the greatest, young, Balboa teachers Switzerland has to offer. Choose your level according to you perceived skill level, but be aware that this workshop isn’t designed for beginners. To everyone who dabbled in Balboa before or is up for a real Balboa challenge: we welcome you at Kinderzirkus Robinson on the 3rd and 4th of January with a hot chocolate, coffee or tea.

Sign up here!

About the levels
The Explorer level is for you if you’ve been dancing Balboa for at least one year, have been going to regular classes and some socials and feel quite comfortable on the dance floor. At this level you already started to follow the lead of the music and play with improvisation.

The Challenger level is for you if you’ve been on the Balboa dancefloor for quite a while now and feel connecting with your dance partner as well as with the music is easy and fun. You’re able to react and play in your respective dance role (or both?) and are looking for new concepts to explore and a critical look at your own technique.
