KEEP BAL WEIRD Series- PORTLAND
August 28th - August 30th

How is the August workshop different from the June one?

• A more relaxed, parent-friendly schedule. Instead of long workshop days, we'll have three hours of classes each day, giving you more time to review, practice, and balance the rest of your weekend.

• A live music social dance on Saturday! We'll be dancing to the Thilo Kluth Trio, whose energetic sound and Balboa-friendly tempos have been an absolute hit every time we've danced to them.

• A single, integrated workshop track. We've folded the Invitational track back into the main workshop, allowing everyone to benefit from more nuanced, layered material.

• A stronger focus on active learning. In addition to new techniques and patterns, you'll develop practical tools for self-assessment, experimentation, and continued growth after the weekend.

• Outstanding instructors. Lauren Smith and Steve Murphy are highly regarded teachers who have taught both locally and internationally, with numerous titles and placements in major Balboa competitions.
