WHAT IS BALBOA??? Balboa is the most elegant of the swing dances,
as well as the hottest "new" dance craze that swing dancers are now
re-discovering. Developed in L.A. back in the early 1930's, Balboa is a regional dance that has gone global! Balboa is a fantastically adaptable dance known for smooth style and quick footwork, and can be danced to slow, medium, or blazing fast music!
