Speaking of balboa… anyone up for Philly Bal Night this Saturday?! I’d love to get a group together for either the workshop (which was a LOT of fun last time!) or for the social dance! It’s a little pricey, but if you’re looking to ‘level up’ your bal dancing, this is a great way to do it. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/share/14EkyS1Cfhz/
