The Edinburgh Balboa Weekend 2025 brings you two fantastic Balboa teachers from Spain: Lucía Talavera and Javier Izquierdo Montealegre
REGISTRATION OPENS ON 28 SEPTEMBER 2025 AT MIDDAY BST
-----
The workshop will take place at the Columcille Centre in Morningside and include 7 hours of classes, a social dance on the Saturday evening and an afternoon dance on the Sunday. The weekend ticket costs 125 £, with concessions at 100£, and gives access to both the classes and social dances. (For Friday evening, 21 Nov., we recommend the local Jazz Club for dancing to live music served up by Viper Swing; entry £12.)
PLEASE NOTE that this workshop is only suitable for dancers with previous Balboa experience.
-----
Lucía and Javi have been dancing and teaching Balboa together since 2014, abroad and mostly across their motherland Spain. They are directors of Black Bottom Swing Dance Studio in Valencia and they also organize Valencia Balboa Festival.
Their fine technique, musicality and style made them win competitions in international festivals. In classes, they love to focus on partnership and creating an harmonious flow while dancing as a couple, playing and reacting with each other.
For them, dancing Balboa is a continuous game with music and the fun of jazz dance in its purest form. Be ready for challenging and fun classes with them!
