19:15 – 20:45: Four-week course happening on Wednesday nights in February 2026, starting on February 4th and ending on the 25th February.
The format is 60 minutes class (19:15 – 20:15) and 30 minutes practice/social dancing (20:15 – 20:45). Class always starts on time, and typically we start dancing a few minutes early.
Level/Experience Required
This course is for beginners with a little bit of experience! It is the continuation of the January beginners course.
If you were not at the January course but would like to join, we plan to do a crash course on Sunday 1 February at the Pillar Room. Details here. It will be a review of what we did in in the January course. If you do not know any Balboa you need to do this course to participate in Beginners II in February.

Do you need a partner?
You do not need to bring a partner as we rotate partners every few minutes. However, if you come with someone and you would like to dance just with them and nobody else, that is no problem!
Location
We will be in a beautiful ballroom, The Pillar Room, part of the Rotunda Hospital, which is at the top of O'Connell Street. Entrance is via a black gate on Parnell Square East/Cavendish Row. It is the very first building on your left, and "The Pillar Room" is over the door. Scroll down to see the map below.
