Balboa Boot Camp

Welcome to Balboa Boot Camp

In addition to the event held on Labor Day Weekend, Camp Balboa Seattle (CBS), we also run a monthly workshop, Balboa Boot Camp.

What is Balboa Boot Camp?
Balboa Boot Camp is a monthly, one day intensive workshop with Seattle's finest Balboa instructors. The classes are progressive with a basic class first for beginners, then uphill from there to more advanced moves. Each month the classes will change with the exception of the beginner class. To keep you on your toes, we are also rotating instructors so you get a variety of techniques and perspectives of the dance.

What do you mean by progressive classes?
The beginner class is first and the other classes afterwards increase in difficulty.

Do I have to know any Balboa to register for the workshop?
Absolutely not. We have a Beginner Track just for people like you learning the dance. The swing dance scene is very friendly, so don't be shy.

Do I need a partner?
A partner is not required. However if you would like to drag your friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, co-worker, etc. out to take classes, it is certainly fine with us. We usually rotate partners in the classroom setting so everyone gets a chance to practice with everyone else.
