The Teachers
Izzy and Louis met at a London social, bonded over their love of balboa and have been partnered up ever since! Having competed in the UK and abroad, they are committed to spreading their enthusiasm and love of balboa. You can follow along with their antics on Instagram at @izzyandlouis.
Izzy has been dancing since she was 3, having done jazz, tap and ballet before stumbling across lindy hop at a jazz concert. Learning swing dancing in Australia, she moved to London with a passion for balboa, shag and lindy and is keen for the various scenes to become more intertwined.
After a fortuitous injury, Louis decided to try out swing dancing classes to help him recover. He instantly fell in love with swing and hasn’t looked back. After 5 years dancing lindy hop, balboa caught Louis’ eye and what started out as a curiosity quickly turned into a passion.
Parking at Old Headington Village Hall
If you are planning to come by car, there are some parking spaces at the hall (but please do not block entry to the hut at the back which belongs to the guides), and plenty more free parking less than half a mile away down the road: on Dunstan Road itself, or Foxwell Drive, Halliday Hill or Saxon Way.
