About BalAustin
BalAustin was started in the Summer of 2008 by David Bradford as a way to help nurture the Balboa scene in Austin, TX. Along with holding a practice twice a month, BalAustin also provided information about where to learn, practice and dance Balboa. In Fall of 2009, BalAustin started teaching intermediate level Balboa classes in an effort to help provide Austin's Balboa dancers with new material.
