Balboa

Balboa is a close-embrace up-tempo swing-era dance. It’s full of subtle, complex footwork and involves less, well, sprinting. Check out the Facebook group Philly Balboa to see where folks are practicing and dancing.

Blues Dancing

We do teach slow, close embrace dancing as part of our overall classes, but we don’t teach Blues dancing; there’s another amazing organization that does! Check out Powerhouse Blues!
