Rendezvous Raffle Balboa Workshop

Sat Sep 12 - Sun Sep 13

Every year, Joel & Alison run the Balboa Rendezvous - one of the largest and most popular Balboa events in the world in San Diego, CA.

At the event they hold the Rendezvous Raffle where they donate a weekend of instruction to growing Balboa communities.

There will be SIX hours of BALBOA FOUNDATION provided and TWO SPECIAL ADVANCED WORKSHOPS.

Even if you are an INT/ADV dancer, you will want to register for the full weekend as you are sure to learn something new about Balboa and increase your Balboa dancing skill.

Joel & Alison's teaching style and knowledge of Balboa will guarantee an amazing weekend for all that attend. It is always beneficial for the INT/ADV dancers to be in the workshop so new dancers can understand the dance quickly and therefore begin their love of Balboa...
