About the event

MTL BAL JAM is a Montréal / Tiohtià:ke based balboa event which will happen for the first time in June of 2024. It is organized by a local team of balboa dancers under the banner of Campus Balboa, a nonprofit founded in 2023.
The goal of the event is to bring balboa dancers from all around the world to Montréal / Tiohtià:ke and showcase our local scene at its best.
In order to achieve this, teachers MTL BAL JAM will hire sought after instructors, and get some of the top swing bands in the city.
The weekend aims to have a healthy balance between classes, social dancing, and exploration of the city.
