Intermediate/Advanced Balboa with Kate Hedin @ Philly Bal Practice! 

Join Kate Hedin for a 3-week Philly Bal practice takeover!

This series is taking the place of Monday night bal practice for these weeks, but please note that these are 3 weeks in a row (rather than our typical alternating weeks)
Monday December 1st

Monday December 8th** (alternate location, see below)

Monday December 15th

Schedule:
7-8pm: Warm-up and social dance
8-9pm: Lesson with Kate Hedin
9-10pm: open floor practice time and social dancing

​

Kate will be teaching classes geared towards anyone at the intermediate or advanced level in balboa. Students should be comfortable with balboa shapes and figures, including the toss-out, at tempos of 180bpm and above. These are drop-in style lessons and not progressive, so you can still join us and register even if you can't make all 3! 

​

**Our December 8th lesson will be held at DanceFit Studio Chestnut Hill, 98 Bethlehem Pike, Philadelphia, PA 19118.
Our December 1st and 15th lessons will be at our typical Bal Practice Venue at the Venetian Club in Chestnut Hill

​

​

Each night is $25 for the lessons and open floor practice. Register for all three for $70.
