Balboa, is a fun swing dance (like Lindy Hop) that makes it possible to dance on any speed of music in a relaxed and cool way.
During the crash course you will deep your toes into the basics and some of the corner stones of this dance. Our teachers know how to bring lightness and fun, but still keep the technical aspects of the material, so get ready for a fun and engaged afternoon.
