Originating in Southern California, Balboa is considered a dancer’s dance with its focus on a close connection between partners. Often danced to faster tempo swing music, expression is found in the footwork which provides its elegance and weightlessness.
We run 4-week progressive blocks so you can build your skills step by step, making it easier to start as a complete beginner and to grow as an improver. A block class structure enables progressive learning, allowing you to build on what you have learned each week, improve faster, and feel more confident on the dance floor.bNew to Balboa and unsure about jumping into the full block? Purchase a drop in option on our Sum Up store to try week 1, if you’d like to continue with the block we can upgrade you to the full block price.
Teaching alongside Exeter’s own Balboa fanatic, Jackie, is Iacopo Longo! With a sharp analytical eye and a structured approach, Iacopo has a real knack for breaking down rhythm, movement and body awareness into clear, accessible concepts – perfect for dancers of all levels.
