Camp Balboa 2026

Experience a week of immersive Balboa practice, wellness, and summer vibes in Bern! At the heart of the week is a rare chance to learn directly from Brenda Jean Russell, an internationally active dancer and teacher who has been teaching Balboa since 2001. Growing up on the US West Coast, she learned from original Balboa dancers and carries authentic, embodied knowledge passed down from legends like Willie & Lila Desatoff, Maxie Dorf, and Hal & Marge Takier. Workshops take place in a beautiful studio right by the Aare- refreshing swims between classes included! There will also be plenty of opportunities to relax, connect, and dance outdoors together!
