Iacopo Longo and Carolin Meier will be teaching a balboa workshop on the theme of “Explore the Unconventional” before our monthly Balboa Beckons social dancing.
When?
Sunday 25th May 2025
11.45: Doors open
12.00-14.15: Workshop with Carolin Maier and Iacopo Longo (with short water break in the middle)
14.15-18.00: Balboa Beckons social dance, with music from our lovely DJs
Where?
At Old Headington Village Hall, Dunstan Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 9BY
If you are coming by car, you need to know that Thames Water are carrying out works on Osler Road and St Andrews Road. Access to the hall by car will only be available via Dunstan Road (leading from the Northway estate): although there is a “Road Closure” sign you can still access the Hall this way. You should not park within the traffic management system. There are some parking spaces at the hall (but please do not block the hut at the back as this belongs to the guides), and plenty more free parking less than half a mile away down the road: on Dunstan Road itself, or Foxwell Drive, Halliday Hill or Saxon Way.
How much?
Workshop + Balboa Beckons: £35 on DanceCloud
Workshop only: £30 on DanceCloud
Balboa Beckons only: £10 (£7 unwaged) pay on the door or on DanceCloud
The Teachers
Carolin and Iacopo started their dance partnership in 2023, drawn to each other by their common love for balboa after many years in the swing dancing community. Ever since, they have travelled and competed across Europe, spreading their passion for balboa. Their students love their clarity, care for details and focus on lead and follow, while keeping a lively and relaxed atmosphere in class.
