The Balboa, also known as "Bal", is a swing dance that emerged in Southern California during the early 1930s as a response to swing music. Balboa is a dance that distinctively relies on closed position. Balboa is danced at any tempo, but was one swing dance that enabled dancers to reach especially high speed. While most dancers differentiate between Pure Balboa and Bal-Swing, both are considered to be a part of the range of the dance.
