Never Danced Balboa?
About Joel Plys
He learned very quickly from countless workshops and non-stop dancing and brought his skills to Cleveland, OH.
Hungary, Scotland and Sweden.
Lindy, Charleston, Collegiate Shag, Jazz Movement, and Pre-Swing dances (Texas Tommy, One Step, etc)
For a dance to 'evolve', you must be open to everyone adding creative elements to that dance.
Joel encourages students to study and be open to “differences” so that they can make the dance their own.
