Balboa Classes

Learn how to dance the Balboa at our regular weekly club night held every Friday evening in St Michaels Hall, Chiswick. You don't need to bring a partner as people are rotated frequently during the classes. Freestyle social dancing then follows until late. If you are already a Lindy Hop dancer then come along at 7.30 to join in our intermediate/advanced Lindy Hop class as well.

Balboa is an original swing dance that emerged during the late 1920's and early 1930's. It was created on the west coast (LA Region), while Lindy Hop was emerging on the east coast (New York). Both dances evolved to similar styles of music so its easy to mix Balboa with Lindy on the social dance floor. Come to these regular weekly classes and join the resurgence in popularity in this great swing dance form.

If you are new to Balboa then join our teaching team downstairs at 7.30 for a group beginner's tutorial. The class will be tailored to your level and you can enjoy the small class numbers and fun learning environment. At 8.30 we have an improver's level class for those that are already confident with the basics and need more moves.
