Jacob discovered his love for Balboa in 2005 and soon began travelling to teach and dance at events worldwide. His first passion is social dancing, and he is known for his intricate Pure Balboa footwork, unique shapes in Bal Swing and his effortless, rhythmic flow on the dance floor. Jacob’s teaching focuses on connection and partnership, helping dancers create a shared, dynamic dance experience. Combining humour with clear, detailed instruction to create an engaging learning environment, he excels at breaking down complex movements into smooth, accessible techniques.

Shani has dedicated herself, for over 20 years, to learning, preserving and sharing her love for Balboa. She is honoured to have honed her social dance skills and footwork under the guidance of legendary oldtime dancers Willie Desatoff, Hal and Marge Takier, Bart Bartolo and Jack Carey. As an instructor, Shani strives to make dancing simple and effortless with a strong emphasis on combining foundational basics with the soft skills of connection and personal body awareness to develop one’s own smooth flow and style.
