Bal & Shag Team, taught by Theresa Manney and Vasu Sharma, is for dancers all the way from complete beginner to intermediate in one or both styles. Balboa and Collegiate Shag are vintage swing dance styles that are frequently danced alongside Lindy Hop. They are typically danced in close embrace to faster music.
Each month, the focus will alternate between Balboa and Collegiate Shag, but each team session will touch on both styles. You can expect to develop your technique, vocabulary, and musicality each week.
