Buffalo Bals

Balboa Workshop with Valerie Salstrom
Featuring an evening dance with the Tin Roof Jazz Band
April 9th

SwingBuffalo and the UB Swing Dance Club present "Buffalo Bals", a Balboa Swing Dance Workshop with Valerie Salstrom, International Balboa Champion from Cleveland, OH. Balboa is a form of swing dance documented as far back as 1915! It was born on the west coast and reached its Hey Day during the Swing Era of the 30's and 40's. It was kept alive long enough for it to be rediscovered in the mid to late nineties during the swing resurgence and is now danced all over the world. Known for its versatility to song speed, it can be danced to the fastest big band songs out there without breaking a sweat. Couples seemingly float across the floor in a close embrace. Dancers were even known to hold and sip drinks while they danced.

Balboa is becoming popular in Buffalo and is danced every week at Lindy Fix. Come join in the fun as we hold a 1-day workshop taught by Valerie Salstrom, organizer of one of the largest balboa events in the world: "All Balboa Weekend". We will have a day of classes followed by an evening dancing to the Tin Roof Jazz Band! You get 4 classes and a dance with a great live band for $35 (students: $25). Registration is at-the-door only.

Swing Buffalo Workshop Weekend

Swing Buffalo's biggest event ever is happening in just under a month. Swing Buffalo has invited two international champions in Lindy Hop and Balboa to teach a weekend workshop on the UB North Campus. It is open to the public. The event features 8 hours of instruction from Valerie Salstrom & Davis Thurber, two swing dancers with an award sheet too long to list here. We have also 2 more hours of local instruction, a Jack n' Jill contest, guest DJ's from Pittsburgh, Ithaca, and Albany, performances by Queen City Swing and the Waterloo Swing Crew, a dancestore.com shoe table, a welcome dance at Curtain Up! downtown dancing to Babík, 3 dances, and all at a very low price! Both SwingBuffalo.com and the UB Swing Dance Club are subsidizing the cost of this workshop to make it affordable to all. It's even cheaper than taking classes here locally, so don't miss your chance to get awesome talented Lindy Hop and Balboa classes from international Champions traveling in for 1 weekend only from Cleveland and Pittsburgh! Check out all the details and register at:



If you don't know what Lindy Hop and Balboa is, check out the instructors' videos on the instructors' page.
