Minor Swing
We are inviting all to the fabulous Balboa magic in May, in Gothenburg, Sweden!
Minor Swing is a Balboa festival run by members of the non-profit dance association West Coast Jitterbugs.
Each year, the Minor Swing team works hard to create new Balboa memories for local dancers and international guests.
Like all other swing dances that WCJ dances, Balboa originated during the swing era, dancing to the music that emerged largely under the influence of Afro-American artistic traditions and values. Read more about Balboa here.
Please get in touch with us at minorswing@wcj.se if you have any questions.
Also, have a look at the
Code of Conduct
for the event.
