Description

Although we hope that this becomes a big annual event, this first year is smaller to gauge interest. Don't snooze on registering :)

~~~Workshop Level~~~

This workshop is designed for dancers who are already familiar with Slow Balboa and want to take their dancing to the next level. It will be challenging, fun, and full of new ideas that are still in line with the classic Slow Bal vibe! If you are new to Slow Balboa but are ready for a fast-paced environment and have a background in other close-embrace dances like Pure Bal or Tango, we welcome you as well, but require that you take the Intro to Slow Balboa class Friday night.

~~~Locations~~~

Class Venue

Saturday Night Dance Venue:
The Avalon Ballroom

~~~Lodging & Transportation~~~

Although there is no “official” hotel for this event, the Moxy Cherry Creek is ideally located. Last we checked, there were two-bed rooms available for $204/night pre-paid and this hotel is walking distance to the main venue and a ton of great restaurants as well as a 10 minute ride to Union Station (the train stop from the Denver airport). Note that the Saturday night venue, in Boulder, is about 30 minutes away, and we suggest coordinating rideshares there and back. (We’ll remind you of that in class on Saturday so you can find a buddy!)

Area Hotel to Consider (no event block, just a suggestion)

~~~Cost~~~

$95 includes six hours of high quality instruction, 1.5 hours of guided practice, and the Friday and Saturday night social dance.

Optional: We’ll be teaching a drop-in Intro to Slow Bal class Friday for $10 and we’d love for you to join us to refresh your knowledge base or learn a second role. This class is a required addition if you are new(er) to Slow Balboa. We'll take PayPal, Zelle, or cash at the door.
