Anna started dancing Balboa in 2005.
She also dances Lindy Hop since 1999, she danced swedish Folkdance around 1998-1999 and Argentine Tango around 1999-2003.
"What makes Balboa such an amazing dance is that it gives you the possibility to express the music together with your partner, to interpret it in your own way and at the same time get inspired by how your partner interprets the same music. Eventhough Balboa is an intensive lead/follow dance, it leaves a lot of room for the followers own variations. This might not be obvious for a beginner, but the longer you dance the easier it gets. The great music is another reason why I love to dance Balboa. Another thing I like about Balboa is that the dance can be varied in so many ways. It can be small, close and discrete - or big and flashy."
Anna was a member of the Balboa Committee of the West Coast Jitterbugs 2006-2007. She is a dance teacher and organizer within the Gothenburg Balboa Institute since 2007.
Her main teaching partner, and partner for life, is Jan Printzell.
