Balboa, Lindy, Jitterbug

Balboa
Balboa is a smooth dance done in tightly closed couple position with subtle but striking footwork.
It's perfect for those fast numbers, and will fit well with both jitterbug and Lindy dancing.
It can be maniplated from the basic bal (balboa) to Bal-swing such as
basics, cross-overs, break-time, lollies, and throw-outs.

Lindy Hop
Lindy Hop is the original swing dance style from the 1930's and 1940's.
It's wildly popular in Europe and is the style of choice on the coasts: East Coast swing vs. West Coast swing.
This high energy style incorporates a distinctive, jazzy blend of footwork and kick variations.

Jitterbug
the basic 6 count footwork, several simple turns, fancy turns, smooth leads and hot moves of swing dance.
