About

Philly Balboa

Philly Balboa is a group passionate about a niche, swing-era partner social dance called Balboa! This dance developed in 1930s and 40s, coming out of southern California, and is danced traditionally to big band swing music. We have a regular (bi-weekly) social dance with lessons and open practice in Chestnut Hill, and also offer occasional workshop weekends. We love working on the technical intricacies that make Balboa great, while enjoying supporting and growing our social community with others passionate about swing music and dance.
