About us (Ministry of Balboa)

Ministry of Balboa is a member driven non-profit organization established in Copenhagen in 2009.

We are dedicated to building and nurturing a vibrant, welcoming community of Balboa dancers in Copenhagen, embracing every style – Pure Bal, Bal-Swing, Slow Balboa and beyond.

To support this community, we organize social dance events, peer-to-peer practice sessions, and workshops with international teachers such as the Copenhagen Balboa Weekend (last weekend in May and October) and the Copenhagen Slow Balboa Festival (end February/start March). In partnership with Swingshoes, we also welcome top-level international dancers as residential teachers. We believe that collaboration is key to growing the Balboa scene and creating inspiring experiences for everyone involved.
