Balboa by Daylight
Please join us as we experiment with a new *daytime* Balboa practice.
Recognizing that late weeknights may not be ideal for everyone, we’re hoping a weekend daytime practice will be another good option. Will be testing out Saturdays and other timeslots in the future, but hopefully this first session gets the idea out there. And who knows, maybe this can morph into a “Balboa & Brunch”…
FYI: Cost TBD – The current plan will be to split the cost of the room at Ripley Grier with all attendees.
