Balboa

The Balboa is a very elegant swing dance that is danced in pairs. Its origins take us to the Balboa Peninsula, in southern California where it was danced in its original form in a closed position, now called “Pure bal”.

In the golden age of swing, Los Angeles dancers incorporated this original Balboa into their open position dance, creating what is now called the “Bal-swing”. It is a very creative dance that can be danced at any tempo, fast, medium or slow and executed correctly with the right floor and shoes, it is a dance that does not tire and can be danced for many years and at any age.
