Product Description: Balboa was very popular among the College Kids in the mid 30’s and it is very popular 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.

With Marcus & Bärbl and Steve & Denise you can learn from the best international renowned instructors.

5 stars Even More Bal-swing moves!!
Want more moves? World of Swing #12 - Balboa/Bal-Swing 3 delivers! It contains material that you can use as-is in your dancing or for more challenge use in various combinations to put together your own Balboa routine. I often refer to the video and constantly find new things to use in my social dancing.


5 stars Take the Bal - Challenge
We love this video series. This may be one of the best one's yet from Marcus and Baerbl's dance videos. Not only are M&B two of the greatest dancers around, they are also two of the best teachers out there today. Here's why we highly recommend this video:

1) Marcus and Baerbl, along with Balboa dance champions Steve and Denise, break down the moves and show them from multiple angles for both leads and follows. Their instruction is easy to understand. You can actually learn to dance from this video.

2) The video is technically well done. After showing 3-4 moves, they put them together with music showing how the pieces are part of the whole and giving you the opportunity to DANCE!

3) Interspersed inbetween dance instruction segments are interviews with several "old-timers" who danced balboa in the 30s and 40s. These interviews and dance demonstrations are invaluable resources preserving the history of swing.

4) Not only are Marcus and Baerbl great dancers and great teachers, they have a quirky sense of humor that makes watching these videos over and over FUN.
