Balboa in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire

Come and learn Balboa where you’ll dance to the great classics from the swing era as well as more modern tunes. It’s fun, sociable and easy to learn. No partner or dance experience necessary as we’ll start from the basics and soon have you social dancing and impressing your friends.

Regular teachers are Gill, Graham, Julia & Robbie
