Save the Fast Date... for Cambridge's third Balboa and Shag Festival in January 2026.
Featuring wonderful teachers, 3 socials, live bands, and all the fast music we can offer to dance away those January blues...
​
We will have parties on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and two packed days of classes. You can choose to take classes in just Balboa, just Collegiate Shag, or some of each to really expand your fast dancing repertoire!​​
16-18 January 2026

T-shirts
