Our Aims

Our aim is to build a community of balboa dancers who share our love for this dance. We do this by holding lessons on a weekly basis, hosting practice sessions and regular dances (many with live music), and arranging a variety of workshops throughout the year with the very best international standard teachers. Please see our calendar for the dates.

Our social dances are open to all levels and styles of dancers, and we encourage other dance styles to join in.  We welcome new faces and experienced dances alike so please do drop in to see what is happening.

Balboa Classes

We teach Balboa in Cheltenham, and in Powick Worcestershire, from the very basics to intermediate level. See our Classes page for more information.

Live Music and Dances 

We have a programme of dances or social nights, many with great live bands for you to enjoy, bringing you the best of authentic 1920's,30's and 40's style music. See our dance listing or our events page.

Balboabunch

We have been teaching weekly classes of Balboa in Gloucestershire since 2003 during which time Bal has grown from from 4 people dancing Bal, to today when it is not unusual for nearly everyone socially dancing Balboa during the evening.
