  • Levels

    Beginner/Intermediate - No experience necessary. Each series will start with basic movements, with a different topic each month. Intended to help you grow your Balboa basics and fundamentals.

    Intermediate/Advanced - Understanding and proficiency with basic forms is expected. This level is intended to help you push into more challenging territory and tackle more advanced concepts. While we may explore similar topics/themes, the content will be stand-alone and is not intended as an extension of the Beg/Int class.


  • Cancellations and Refunds:

    Benefits to pre-registration include a higher discounted rate (compared with drop in classes or the series upgrade) as well as having your spot in class reserved. It also allows me to plan content around the anticipated makeup of the class.

    While pre-registration is great, I understand that sometimes life happens! Due to the constraints of being an independent instructor I am not able to offer refunds or credits for incomplete series attendance, but if you need more flexibility you can consider starting a series as a drop-in attendee and upgrade later in the month with the series upgrade rate
