Balboa is a type of swing dance, popular with Lindy Hop dancers. It’s more compact than other styles of swing, with the partners in body contact most of the dance. The footwork and legwork below the knee is where most of the action of this dance is. Not only is this a fun dance to add to your repertoire, but the steps are great to put into your East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and other dances to give you unique and attention-getting variations.
