Balboa

Balboa is a vintage partner dance developed in Southern California. At the same time that Lindy Hop was developing in the ballrooms of Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, teens at the Rendezvous Ballroom at Newport Beach, CA were developing a swing dance characterized by chest to chest connection, fancy footwork, and elegant spins and turns.
