Balboa
Balboa is a swing dance more or less for middle and fast tempos. Balboa can be danced up to 300 beats per minute. It has evolved in California by the white youth of the 1930s, whereas Lindy Hop has evolved in New York through black youth. So Balboa has more of an upright tenor compared to Lindy Hop. I selected a good variety of video clips for this gallery, so you might develop our own ideas about what Balboa and Bal Swing looks like.
