Introduction to Balboa with Bunny and Natalie
Saturday, November 21, 2026
Learn the basics of Balboa in this dance workshop. Balboa is sometimes described as a dance of elegance, efficiency and connection. It allows two people to dance comfortably to very fast music without needing much floor space. Unlike Lindy Hop, which often features big aerial movements, kicks and energetic traveling steps, Balboa is more compact, smooth and rhythmically intricate. In simple terms: Balboa is a beautiful, close-partner swing dance where the magic comes from quick feet, subtle body movement, musicality and connection between partners.
