What is Balboa?

Balboa is a dance style in the swing jazz dance family. It is a partnered social dance where you improvise whole dances with your dance partner(s), suitable for mid to fast tempos. We will all be learning both
how to lead and how to follow.

What to wear

Comfortable clothes, glamour optional ✨

No partner required

Just bring yourself – we will be changing partners every few minutes, so you get to dance with everybody. However, if you come with someone and you would like to dance just with them and nobody else, that is no problem!

Location

We will be in the Oval, a beautiful side hall of the Pillar Room, situated in the Rotunda Hospital. You will be provided directions once you are registered for the course through our website.
