MidtownStomp
Sample home page for Midtown Stomp, a swing dance venue in Sacramento, CA. My goal was to improve the initial look of the site by adding more color and dramatic photos. The current site is successful at delivering content to the user, however, I was looking to advance the site by increasing the aesthetic appeal and readability. Here is a shot of the entire home page.
Top 5 Balboa Songs For Beginners
Learning Balboa can be a challenging task. Trying to learn Balboa while dancing to a complicated song can make things even more difficult. And it’s more than just the tempo of a song. Easy rhythms, simple song structure, and repetition can all make dancing that much simpler. It doesn’t mean that the music is completely void of interest, rather the song assists you in your learning process, rather than confuse you. Below are 5 of my favorite beginner balboa tunes.
Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho – Sidney Bechet
