    Hi BYU Swing Kids,

    Tommy and I are interested in teaching Balboa at BYU... maybe a four or five week progressive class or a workshop series. We'll be down there the first week in November teaching an advanced class and we're really excited about promoting Balboa into the Utah swing scene. Let us know if you're interested and we'll set something up!

    Thanks you guys!

    No, that is a good thing. As in, it's close dancing that's not dirty. Best of both worlds!

    Nice! Hey, we could teach a 4 or 5 week class and maybe have Tommy DJ for part of the dance sometimes, too. Yeah, let me know the contact info and we'll make this happen.

    so...you're okay Bal-ing not at BYU? Are you afraid of getting caught? And also, I'd be more concerned with looking like I prefer persons of the same gender than with getting cozy while dancing with someone of the opposite gender.

    it's funny to watch BYU peeps making an attempt to Bal. They usually end up having a foot of space between them and their partners' chests [Emoticon not found]

    BYU Bal? That's great. I first learned to Bal like that. And it was by people who really knew how to Bal, and I think they were trying to make it BYU friendly

    it's actually kind of a compression lead, but it is lead through the arms, not through the chest... it is a little strange, especially once you've done it the other way.
