Description

What is Balboa?

Balboa is a swing era dance that developed in California around the same time that lindy hop was developing in New York. Like lindy hop it is danced to swing jazz and has some roots in Charleston and ballroom dance. However it evolved entirely separately and has a different connection and repertoire of moves which were heavily influenced by the impact of ridiculously overcrowded ballrooms of Orange County..

How It Works

Every single one of our balboa classes starts from the very beginning and no experience or partner is required. You can drop in whenever you like and get as much repetition as you need. There are 5 classes total this summer to give you the best start at dancing Balboa.

We also have a discount if you buy buy all 5 classes 24th June -22nd July.
