What is Balboa?
Balboa is a dance style in the swing jazz dance family. It is a partnered social dance where you improvise whole dances with your dance partner(s), suitable for mid to fast tempos. We will all be learning both how to lead and how to follow. Here’s a video of high-level dancers for inspiration:

Just bring yourself – we will be changing partners every few minutes, so you get to dance with everybody. 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 the Oval, a beautiful side hall of the Pillar Room, situated in the Rotunda Hospital. It 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.
