5th Monday Special! Balboa

  • Falcon Bowl - Dance Hall 801 East Clarke Street Milwaukee, WI, 53212 United States (map)

Balboa is another dance under the swing umbrella that originates in Southern California, developing throughout the 1920 and 30s. It can vary from subtle, closed position dancing with fun footwork variations to open and exuberant with turns, tosses, and kicks. It blends well with Lindy Hop within a dance and is particularly well suited to faster songs and crowded floors.

We'll open the floor as usual at 9:15 for our social hour for practice and play - all styles welcome, of course!
