Balboa |
...began in the 1930s at the Rendezvous
Ballroom on Balboa
Island, near Newport Beach, California. Ballrooms had become crowded.
The Charleston and
Lindy Hop were impractical. Typically, dancers might share a
ballroom with 3,000 or more people. Many ballrooms enforced "no breakaways"
policies to prevent injuries.
In the 1930s and ‘40s, Balboa was popular
from Southern California to Seattle. Its
popularity declined over
the next few decades until it was virtually unknown outside
of southern
California. In the 1990s swing dance
revival, the dance was "rediscovered" by the rest of
America.
Balboa is perfect for a crowded space. "Pure"
Balboa is done in one
place on the floor -- no breakaways or spins -- and performed
in closed position. The upper body is "quiet." The "flash"
is in the footwork.
Balboa’s small footprint and limited upper-body movement
make it a great, fast-tempo
dance. Bal experts can dance at
scorching
speeds -- up to 300 beats per minute! "Bal-Swing" shares
the Balboa basic steps; but,
incorporates the once-forbidden breakaways and turns.
Balboa is a no-impact dance for all ages
and fitness
levels.

Dream Dancing Christmas
with Ray Anthony and His Orchestra

One buyer's excerpted review: "This CD, recorded in 1995, proves they
still make instrumental Christmas music like they used to . . .
like something recorded in the 1940s, 1950s or 1960s. Very jazzy and big
band. Mel Tormé sings on two songs; but, it's really an instrumental CD.
It is also very smooth and romantic." Webmaster Note: This is definitely
for slow Christmas dancing. |

"You are the 'go to guys'
when we practice and have questions about steps or
techniques. We find your videos of great value
because they offer us different things such as how to
chest-lead and how different
steps are constructed. You also teach
steps and patterns that we don't get in classes."

At some point, however, it's reported that Fred realized
Ginger did the same

Jive
|
...is Great Britain's label for American Swing, dating from
WWII. "Modern Jive"
is a corruption of Rock & Roll. It may be danced to
any fast music. It's easy to learn as
it has no specific footwork. It's also the name for Ceroc and Leroc. When Rock & Roll arrived in France, it
was, "Le Roc." Like a game of Chinese Whispers, it gradually
changed to adapt to the music. It came back to the UK
in the 1980s where it was again adapted to suit pop music. |
