Fresh from a week at The Balboa Experiment, Joy is excited to share her love of Balboa with everyone! She first began swing dancing when a friend brought her to the MIT Lindy Hop Society’s weekly dance, where she quickly fell in love with the energy, spirit, and community of swing. She soon discovered the rhythmic flow of Balboa, and loves the connection and freedom of expression that the closely partnered dance allows.

She loves to share her passion for all kinds of swing and hopes that everyone gets the chance to experience the sheer joy that a crazy, creative, swinging dance can bring. Her style emphasizes fun, creativity, musicality, and technique.
