Balboa Beginners Block


  • Mount Hawthorn Community Center - Lesser Hall 197 Scarborough Beach Road Mount Hawthorn, WA, 6016 Australia (map)

*Spaces are limited

If you want to learn Balboa, this is the perfect place to start!

Join experienced instructors Monique and Danika teaching a 6 week beginner block of Balboa in April and May.

What's Balboa you ask? Well it’s another type of swing dance that was invented in South California in packed out dance halls. For that reason it takes up much less space, is easier to dance to fast music, and you get to express all or creativity and musicality below you with fancy feet.

Sign ups are now open for this block.
