Something is brewing in Roffa...
… and it smells like Balboa. We would like to invite you to make something happen! Like brewing a good cup of coffee, we'll take our time to catch up, join a class, have a spin around the floor, enjoy a drink and a chat and (re-)connect with old and new bal pals in Roffa.

Teachers
Anni Skoglund & Liam Craddock from Gothenburg, Sweden
Anni considers herself one of the lucky few to have parents who brought her into dancing when she was a child. The family were part of a local folk dance organisation who would travel to Scandinavian and European folk dance festivals to dance all night, where they let their children play, eat and sleep with live music as their lullaby. Anni was one of those kids who let dance become part of her nature. Growing up with folk dancers gave her the opportunity to be close to a broad variety of music and practice. Anni’s main focus is social dancing. With a perspective of equality of roles she is a strong follower with a truth to be told. Since she came to Herräng Dance Camp, swing dancing became a constant companion and main focus.
Liam began dancing Lindy Hop in 2014 and was instantly hooked. That passion grew stronger a few years later when he discovered Balboa. While he loves Lindy Hop, his focus shifted to dancing and teaching Balboa in Gothenburg and the UK. In his classes, he prioritizes fostering deep connection, conversational dancing, and creating moments of shared joy. He is passionate about sharing this love with his students and building a thriving dance community!
