Balboa World

A guide to the various Balboa communities and teachers around the world. We only list sites that are either, dedicated specifically to Balboa, or, offer regular tuition in Balboa, or, have significant content related to the dance. If you know of other sites that you think should be listed here then please drop us an email so that we can include them.

Balboa Camps & Festivals
There are three principal Balboa events held each year with an international representation of dancers. All these events offer workshops with top Balboa teachers together with social dances in the evenings. They are all dedicated solely to Balboa as opposed to just regular Lindy events that might also offer some classes in Balboa.
