The creme de la creme of EBC's Balboa competitions. You have to know your pure-bal and bal-swing to make it in this competition.

Preliminary round will allow only pure Balboa, no Bal-Swing. This round is based off of a warm-up all-skate, followed by heats and a final all-skate. Call-backs will be notified prior to the finals that same night.

Finals will be Bal-Swing, and anything goes as far as aerials, lifts, and tricks. Finals will consist of an all-skate warm-up, and all-skate, spotlights in a head-to-head "battle-style" fashion to live music, and a final all-skate. If the judges request another song, it will be added at the end of the round.

Please bear in mind that this is a Balboa/Bal-Swing competition. Good dancing is appreciated and appropriately scored.

You may enter both the Open Classic and the Intergalactic Balboa Division, but not with the same partner.

The Intergalactic Infinity + 1 Balboa Championship Strictly Balboa Division - The penultimate end of Balboa competitions, the "Infinity + 1" is it man, seriously. You can't even go "Infinity + 1 ^ Infinity" because that's how we ended up with "Infinity + 1" since on an infinite scale we looped back. In doing so, we got cool haircuts and free muffins, but that's beside the point.

Anything in the realm of Balboa/Bal-Swing goes...

Finals will consist of an all-skate warm-up, and all-skate, spotlights in a "jam-style" fashion for a set number of phrases dedicated to each couple, and a final all-skate. If the judges request another song, it will be added at the end of the round.
