Lindy on the Rocks/Rocky Mountain Balboa Blowout 2021

What: Lindy on the Rocks (LOTR)/Rocky Mountain Balboa Blowout (RMBB) 2021. LOTR is all about the granddaddy of all swing dances, the Lindy Hop, although you will find other vintage dances mixed in as well. Lindy Hop can be danced slowly or very fast (when you’re ready). The event provides high-quality instruction from the most talented swing dancers in the world. You can look forward to classes for all levels, live swing music, and plenty of social dancing. 

RMBB celebrates a Swing-era partner dance known as Balboa and Bal-Swing. It features fancy footwork, subtle technique, and some flashy vintage movement. It is usually danced to faster tempos, although you can expect to see slow Balboa dancing to slower and moderate tempos. Our event provides high-quality instruction from the most talented Balboa dancers in the world.
