"Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals." - Charles Baudelaire

The Balboa Park Club


Balboa Park Dancers meet twice a week in the historic Balboa Park Club building located at 2150 Pan American Rd W. in beautiful Balboa Park. Read about the fascinating history here.


The Balboa Park Club building was first constructed for the park’s 1915 exposition to house the state of New Mexico’s exhibits. It was later remodeled and enlarged for the 1935 exposition. It was during this period that sculptor Frederick Schweigardt and painter Belle Baraceneau created their striking fountain and mural which adorn the building’s grand foyer. The main Ballroom features approximately 13,000 sq. ft. of unobstructed wood dance floor.

Did you know? Ballroom was derived from folk dancing and was always defined by the era in which it was created. Historically, ballroom was an un-choreographed type of popular dancing which required a "leader" and a "follower" as well as partner contact.
