Kelly Arsenault and Mickey Fortanasce (USA)![]() As a professional Tough Guy, Super Hero and Spelling Bee Champion, finding time for dance was not easy for Mickey, nor was it an accepted activity among his fellow Crime fighters. But having defeated most evil doers in the New York City metropolitan area and becoming bored with their monotonous monologueing coupled with their stubborn refusal to except his superior skill and ability, he made his way down a different path. In search of more powerful adversary Mickey began dancing the Lindy Hop and the Balboa in the Summer of ’99. |

Claudia Joyal Laplante and Marty Klempner (USA)![]() Marty is one of the world’s busiest Lindy and Balboa instructors, regularly featuring at all the most prestigious Balboa weekends in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia & Asia. Marty began teaching and competing full time in the fall of 2002. Let’s just say the list of his titles speaks for itself. |

Andrea Hösel and Gio Olla (SWE)![]() They enjoy experimenting with new moves, stretching the boarders of the dance. Thanks to their creative teamwork, Gio and Andrea are developing a style that focuses on bodyfriendly technique and challenges the stereotypes of gender roles. Their joyful approach to dancing gives a warm and positive atmosphere in class. By the way, Andrea and Gio were the winning couple at Sweden Balboa Weekend and Sweden Balboa Revival 2011.

Beginners-Intermediate: You have been social dancing all of the key Balboa steps (Throw out, Come around, Lollie Kicks, Paddles, Crossovers) and variations of the basic moves. You are familiar with the basic technique and the feel of Balboa, however, you want to be further introduced to the secrets of the dance. |
|||
![]() You are dancing Balboa on a regular basis since about 1–3 years. So you are not only familiar with the basic steps of the Balboa, but you know a variety of further Bal-Swing-steps and are able to use a set of variations. The art of leading and following is no mystery to you, but you are still looking for more technique and more ease, as well as more “challenging” variations and steps. |
||||
![]() You attend weekly classes since at least 3 years and/or have been visiting international workshops, which brought you into the realm of an advanced Balboa dancer. You don’t dance Balboa every once in a while, but you go to Balboa parties and classes often. You are hooked and really interested in improving your dancing on different levels. You know and master all subtleties of the steps and you fear no variation, slide nor tempo. You are able to interpret the music, but you want to gain in musicality and finesse as well as discover new styles. Leading or Following is not only no mystery for you but your second skin. |
