Alright--For the Balbao Camp--we want you to be comfortable, but we also don't want people to hurt their knees any. So please, if possible, don't wear rubber soled shoes to the Bal camp August 20.

If they are the only shoes you like to dance in, though, try putting masking tape on the bottom to make them a little slippery.

ooh, ooh! and no flip flops please--too easy to fall off, too easy to get toes stepped on.

I'm moving back into school that day! I don't know if I'll be able to finish in time to make it down for the workshops. We'll see.

Well, we hope you can come! ... There's always the ASEDA dance that night, plus the all balboa latenight! And on Sunday there's the Balboa Follower's Fancy Footworkshop. It's a whole fun-filled weekend of dancing!

I hope to attend the workshops and finally learn Bal

The more who bal (especially leads!) the better!

Thanks to everyone who came out this Saturday for our little Bal Jam prep session!! especailly those who made the treck down from out of town! Hope you guys had fun. ... It was great seeing everyone bust out their new moves at the ASEDA dance and the Balboa Late Night.

See you guys at Bal Jam!
