Step Sheet
48 Count, 4 Wall
Other Music: Shake It and Break It (Preservation Hall Jazz Band) [194 bpm]; any swing music suitable for balboa
Note: No tags or restarts. Balboa is typically done to fast music 160-200+ BPM, so steps must be small and quick.
For a different feel, try the dance to slower tempo music such as Let’s Walk (Austin de Lone) [108 bpm].
