Welcome to the home page of Mike & Mary Richardson, swing dance instructors & performers. We teach and promote the original swing dances of the 1930's & 40's big band swing era - Lindy Hop & Balboa - and the great music of that era! Keepin' it Real!
Out-of-Town Dance Events
o The All Balboa Weekend (ABW) for 2022 is a go! June 16th-19th.
