迈出第一步！
This Wednesday night does’t mean a thing if it ain’t got some Swing! We start at 20:00 with an open class in Balboa – an elegant type of Swing dance recognizable by small yet extraverted improvisational movements. After class the party continues of course, many other dancers will join too so you will have plenty of dance partners to practice your steps with. Add some more vintage class to the night and order one of our vintage cocktails, see you then!
如果没有摇摆舞，这个周三晚就没有任何意义！晚上8点加入我们的Balboa公开课 -- 一种优雅的摇摆舞，可以通过小幅度而外向的即兴动作来识别。毫无疑问，课程结束后我们将继续狂欢，许多舞者也会加入舞池中，届时有很多舞伴与您一起练习舞步。再点一杯我们的特调鸡尾酒为今夜增添更多复古色彩吧，到时见！

What is Swing Dance？
什么是摇摆舞？
Swing Dance is a partnered social dance originated in Harlem, New York (USA) and was especially popular throughout the 1920s-1950s. It's a partnered social dance based on leading and following, and danced to jazz music from the same era (mainly Big Band swing). It's a very fun and diverse dance, including many elements combined in a free improvisational manner.
摇摆舞起源于美国纽约的Harlem哈林区。摇摆舞盛行于美国上世纪20-40年代。摇摆舞通常是两个人跳的社交舞蹈，其中也混合了一些独舞动作。摇摆舞者的语言就是节奏、好玩儿和即兴!
Today many swing dancers all around the world enjoy dancing various styles, including Charleston, Lindy Hop, Shag, Balboa and a few others. Often swing dancers would dress up in vintage style, to fully embrace the charm of the swing times. On Wednesdays we are focusing mostly on the style called "BALBOA".
时至今日，风靡全球的摇摆舞发展出不一样的风格如查尔斯顿，林迪舞，巴尔波亚等，舞者都会穿着复古打扮，而在周三的摇摆之夜，我们将专注于巴尔波亚舞。
We can't tell you how to dance Balboa, but we can tell you when you are not dancing Balboa."
Balboa Origins
巴尔波亚舞的起源
The original Balboa dance is a form of swing dance that started as early as 1915 and gained in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. Balboa came from Southern California during the 1920s and increased in popularity until World War II.
巴尔波亚舞是一种摇摆舞，早在1915年就开始了，并在20世纪30年代和40年代流行起来。巴尔波亚在20世纪20年代起源于南加州，在第二次世界大战之前一直备受欢迎。
Balboa Aspects
巴尔波亚舞的特点
It is danced primarily in close embrace to upbeat swing music. This dance is fully improvisational and can be quite energetic yet elegant. The art of Balboa is in the subtle communication between the lead and follow, including weight shifts, which most viewers cannot see. As a result, Balboa is considered more of a "dancer's dance" than a "spectator's dance".
这种舞蹈看起来就像是两个人在拥抱，用全身的链接去引带和跟随。巴尔波亚的艺术在于主角和跟随者之间微妙的交流，包括重心的转移，这是大多数观众看不到的。因此，巴尔波亚被认为是“舞者的舞蹈”，而不是“观众的舞蹈”。
DRESS IT UP / 推荐着装：
VINTAGE STYLE
Vintage clothing is not necessary for evening dances, you can also wear something that you feel comfortable moving in.
复古服装并不是舞会所必须要求的着装，你也可以穿一些舒适的衣服来。
Let's Swing!
