Bobby White & Kate Hedin have won pretty much every championship in the worldwide Balboa scene, including five All Balboa Weekend Championships and three California Balboa Championships between them.
They are even more proud of their fifteen years of teaching together, which has made them famous for their detailed understanding of the dance, their clear instruction, and their strategic use of sound effects.
Bobby is also the writer of the renowned swing dance history and culture blog Swungover, and the book Practice Swing.
