| What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
Balboa is a vernacular swing dance from Southern California in the 1920s and 30s, and is indebted to the African-American roots and culture of Swing Jazz and Swing dancing. We encourage everyone to explore the history of this dance, the dancers that created it in Southern California, and the music and musicians that made it possible. |
