Yep, that's right, I ❤ Bal will be BACK in 2022, with a new date & new venues!

We're re-imagining I ♥ Bal 2022 as a Balboa Exchange and we want it to be a great big ol' Balboa family reunion.   You'll be able to book private lessons with our invitational pros, and enjoy lots more time to dance and make personal connections with your dance family, all with that same great laid-back laser-cat vibe that you know & love.

20+ hours of dancing

2 nights of live music from Keenan McKenzie & the Riffers

Private lessons with 

Abigail Browning

Adam Speen

Annabel Quisao

Chelsea Bromstad Lee

Nominate a dancer for our Scholarship Program

Pssst:  folks may notice that this is the usual weekend for Jammin' on the James (one of our favorite events).  There were no plans to revive that event going forward and so we've moved to their weekend with the blessing of all Jammin organizers, past & present (Andy, Rita, Kyle & Dave). We hope in some small way to make this weekend a love-letter to the friendly,  summer-camp feeling of Jammin' on the James.
