Corey and Susan Manke are Balboa and Swing dancers from Nashville, Tennessee. While
Lindy Hop was their first passion, they soon discovered their true love of Balboa in 2004
fascinated with its connection, rhythms and partnering. They have spent over a decade studying the dance with many international instructors.
Corey and Susan are particularly drawn to the aesthetic, connection and feel of the original
dancers. They strive to implement these elements into their own dance style and reference these dancers in their teaching in order to preserve the original dancers’ contribution to the dance floor.
They have been participants of The Balboa Experiment every year since 2010, where they have been students, served as Guest Mentors, awarded “Honorary Fellows” in 2014 and became
"Distinguished Fellows" in 2016. Corey and Susan have been instructors at California Balboa
Classic, All Balboa Weekend, Balast Off!, Great Lakes Balboa Escape, Northwest Bal Fest,
Nubalboa, Edinburgh Balboa Weekend, Thames Valley Balboa Festival, Minor Swing, Eastern
Balboa Championships, and invited to teach at other regional, national and international events.
Corey and Susan have received placements at All Balboa Weekend, Balast Off!, Northwest Bal
Fest and are regular finalists in several national competitions. However, they enjoy the aspect of
social dancing the most.
