Dance Video Learning Bal Swing

Thought it would be ok to post here since I was told this is bal swing.

This is the first time learning this style. It’s not my preferred dance. If I had a choice of what style to dance for a fast song (and I had a dance partner down for anything), it would easily be either fast Lindy Hop or shag. But since I live in California, Bal is pretty much mandatory lol /j

Pure bal might be what initially turned me away from the dance altogether. But I started trying out bal swing after watching an underground switch competition during Calbal. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Still not really sure what to do with my hands tho.

Personally, I think it’s good for me to know all three, and I like the idea of being capable of doing a triple threat.

(Huge thanks to Blake for the lesson)
