All-Balboa Weekend - Open ACBC - Bernard Cavasa & Ann-Helene Cavasa (2011)

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. Tomorrow I leave for Philly for fun times at Philly Bal Night and a lesson with Nelle Cherry on Saturday. Tonight, I compete in a Strictly Lindy competition. Woo.

Balboa takes a lot of flak sometimes in the Lindy community, all in good fun of course. But this video’s a prime example of just how cool it can look. The footwork variations get me every time, not to mention the way they play with the music and hit all the breaks. This is what a bal spotlight should look like, and this is the second place performance.

Anyway. Time to get dressed.
