Devon Balboa Camp is our first ever Balboa weekender! Following the start of weekly classes in Exeter, Iacopo and Jackie have been busy putting together a weekender to bring even more Balboa to town! The weekend will consist of 8 hours of classes over 2 days, a Friday social dance and a Saturday social dance! The weekender has 2 levels on offer and both levels have classes with each teaching couple. 📍 Classes - Exeter Community Centre 📍 Friday Social - Exeter Phoenix 📍 Saturday Social - Marsh Barton Social Club Meet your teachers: Carolin & Iacopo - Since forming their partnership, Carolin and Iacopo have travelled, competed and taught across Europe, bringing their passion for Balboa and Slow Balboa to every dance floor. Their most recent award is winning the Strictly at Slow Ballove 2025. Their dancing is vibrant, elegant, and full of energy and flow - blending original vocabulary with timeless classic moves. Izzy & Louis - Izzy and Louis are well known as international balboa competitors and their teaching is always engaging and exciting. Their love of balboa is just infectious. 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. Louis also came to Balboa through Lindy Hop. After spending 5 years learning and travelling to dance Lindy Hop, Balboa caught Louis' attention and quickly turned into a passion for this magical dance!
