Lucia started dancing in 2011 in Valencia, and has been seen on the dance floor since then. In 2014 she discovered Balboa and she got obsessed with this dance. Now she is dancing, competing and teaching internationally! Besides, she is also part of the management team at the Black Bottom Swing Dance Studio and organizes the Valencia Balboa Festival. For her, dancing Balboa is a continuous game with music and the fun of jazz dance in its purest form.

Lucía and Javi have been dancing and teaching Balboa and Slow Bal together since 2014, abroad and mostly across their motherland Spain.

They are directors of Black Bottom Swing Dance Studio in Valencia, with more than 400 students, and they also organize Valencia Balboa Festival. Their fine technique, musicality and style made them win competitions in international festivals, such as European Balboa Anniversary.

In classes, they love to focus on partnership and creating an harmonious flow while dancing in couple playing and reacting with each other.

They offer students the tools for both ‘leader’ and ‘follower’ to communicate and create together their own steps and variations. For them, dancing Balboa is a continuous game with music and the fun of jazz dance in its purest form. Be
ready for challenging and fun classes with them!
