Balboa was very popular among the College Kids in the mid 30s and is popular once again. Originally Balboa was a closed position swing form with intricate footwork predominantly based on 8-count patterns. But when the hot Swing music really hit the scene some of the younger dancers like Maxie Dorf and Lolly Wise added break-aways and swing turns to the Balboa, which nowadays is often referred to as Bal-Swing. Balboa can be danced to any speed of music, from slow songs at 120 beats/min. till very fast ones at 300 beats/min. Pure Balboa is probably the easiest way to dance to fast swing music and enjoy it. In Balboa videos 1-3 Marcus & Bärbl are joined by Steve & Denise. Steve & Denise won the National Balboa Championship 2001 among many other contests. They appeared in many movies and were headline instructors for one year at the famous Derby. While Steve moved to San Francisco both are still very successful with their new partners and continue to place in major contests. These are the only videos where you can learn from four of the best internationally renowned instructors at one time. Availability: Usually ships the next business day.
