Level - Requirements and Description

Intermediate

This level is for dancers who have mastered the basics of a dance and practice it occasionally or more intensively. They need to practice to gain fluidity or learn new moves, techniques, and variations to expand their vocabulary.

Generally, this level is for dancers who have taken weekly classes for 1 to 3 years.

Balboa

Le Balboa est une danse de couple qui trouve ses origines dans les clubs de danse de Balboa Island, en Californie, dans les années 1920 et 1930. Cette danse élégante et fluide se caractérise par ses mouvements rapides et compacts, ainsi que par sa connexion intime entre les partenaires.

La danse Balboa met l'accent sur le mouvement du torse et du haut du corps. Les danseurs maintiennent une position de danse serrée, avec une connexion étroite entre les poitrines, permettant une communication claire et une conduite fluide. Les mouvements sont réalisés principalement à partir du bas du corps, avec des pas courts, rapides et précis. Les jambes se déplacent en glissades, en pas rapides et en pivots, tandis que le torse reste stable et maintient une posture élégante.

Line-up

The teachers of our class.

Giovanni Ligorio

Teacher

Dance has been Giovanni's lifelong passion, inspired by hours spent mimicking choreography and the uplifting melodies of jazz. In 2018, he discovered Balboa swing in Berlin, and it quickly became a nightly ritual. Immersed in the Balboa community, Giovanni has attended festivals and competed in European events, reaching finals along the way. Now, he is dedicated to sharing the joy of dance through teaching weekly classes and weekend workshops in Berlin. Additionally, he organizes events to enrich the dance scene and give back to the community.

Shieva Norusian

Teacher

Originally from New Zealand, Shieva started swing dancing in 2010, learning Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and Blues before turning her attention to Balboa in around 2016. She now teaches regularly in her local scene in Berlin, as well as at workshops around Europe and competes regularly at events throughout Europe and the US. She’s known for her smooth quality of movement, her chill “in the pocket” rhythm, her creativity and her cozy connection. Her focus as a dancer is first and foremost social dancing and connection, and this is therefore also what she prioritises as an instructor.
