-----
Lucía and Javi have been dancing and teaching Balboa together since 2014, abroad and mostly across their motherland Spain. They are directors of Black Bottom Swing Dance Studio in Valencia and they also organize Valencia Balboa Festival.
Their fine technique, musicality and style made them win competitions in international festivals. In classes, they love to focus on partnership and creating an harmonious flow while dancing as a couple, playing and reacting with each other.
For them, dancing Balboa is a continuous game with music and the fun of jazz dance in its purest form. Be ready for challenging and fun classes with them!
