Northern Slow Bal Celebration

Thanks for 2024

A big thank you to everyone who came to the first Northern Slow Bal Celebration :-), and particularly to our fabulous teachers Olga, Andreas, Izzy and Louis. Many thanks as well to Rob for running the dances, as well as to DJs (AnneH, Lynn, Stefan/Maggan, Stephen, Velody and Tony) for keeping the dance floor busy, Lynn as our superb MC, and to local helpers Chris and Anne. We are very grateful to Raelene as photographer for the weekend, and more photos will be posted on this website as soon as these are available.

Join us for a superb residential Slow Balboa weekend geared towards intermediate and above Slow Bal dancers. Accommodation provided (dinner, bed and breakfast) in a majestic hotel, rich with history, in the heart of the Yorkshire city of Bradford...

The Midland Hotel is palatial with high ceilings, a grand chandelier and beautiful historic architecture. Our ballroom is breath-taking, one of Yorkshire’s finest. The location is perfect, within an easy stroll of cafes and shops. It is just a 3-minute walk from the nearest train station, and Manchester International Airport just a 1-hour drive (or direct and frequent train service). The hotel is easily accessible by road with free parking.

Improve your Slow Balboa with workshops taught by top international teachers. Dance to the best Slow Bal DJs. With half board hotel accommodation provided you will have plenty of time to relax as you catch up with friends from across the UK, Europe and beyond, and make new friends, or practice what you have learned in classes.
