Special Balboa Class with John & Julia - Thursday 10th July 2025
We’re excited to welcome the incredible John and Julia Wharington from Victoria for a Level 2 and Level 3 Balboa class, while they’re in town for the Slow Soiree weekend!
John & Julia Wharington
John and Julia Wharington are passionate about all things Balboa, be it slow or fast. Having learned from and danced with some of the original dancers, their approach to teaching the dance is to be respectful of the roots of the dance, whilst bringing their own ideas and modern perspective into expressive and creative content. They've been teaching Balboa together since 2012, including local classes, troupes and workshops nationally and internationally, and they love sharing their love for the dance with dancers at any level. From their classes you can expect an infectious energy, creative teaching techniques, and challenges that get you thinking out of the box, all bundled in a fun and unique package. Their aim is to get you up and dancing on the social dance floor, dancing Balboa comfortably and looking good in no time.

The level 3 class is perfect for seasoned dancers who are ready to push their boundaries. If you're an experienced dancer, who is comfortable will all the content provided in Level 2 classes, this is the class is for you! Aimed at those who thrive in a faster-paced environment, focusing less on specific moves and more on developing your individual style, fluidity, musicality, and overall connection.
