16 - 18 January 2026
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!​​

We believe that everyone should have access to opportunities to dance and learn, no matter your financial situation.

T-shirts
​We will be selling t-shirts this year. These will only be available to order when you buy your ticket or in the following month. To reduce waste, there will not be t-shirts available on the weekend.​ The 2026 design will be published before tickets go on sale.
