The finals start with a short warm-up at about 220 BPM, then move into a phrase battle where one couple gets 16 eight-counts, twice. The music for this is super fast, around 240 bpm! They can dance either Bal-Swing or pure Balboa. Also, couples in this division can't compete in the amateur Balboa division unless they switch roles (lead or follow). *TIMESTAMPS* *2025 Open Balboa Final ROUND 1 (closest, farthest)* 00:00 Irina Amzashvili & Matt Richey, Frances Dougherty & Albert Ferran 00:38 Natalia Eristavi & Jacob Wigger, Grace Babbes & Patrick Stephanoff 01:20 Cami Asher & Sam Chan, Alice Jeng & Blake Thiessen 02:00 Teni Lopez-Cardenas & Jeremy Otth, Oliva Hales Adams & Zilong Liu 02:40 Theresa Manney & Matt Mitchell, Hannah Manning & Rafal Pustelny *2025 Open Balboa Final ROUND 2 (closest, farthest)* 03:20 Irina Amzashvili & Matt Richey, Frances Dougherty & Albert Ferran 04:01 Natalia Eristavi & Jacob Wigger, Grace Babbes & Patrick Stephanoff 04:40 Cami Asher & Sam Chan, Alice Jeng & Blake Thiessen 05:19 Teni Lopez-Cardenas & Jeremy Otth, Oliva Hales Adams & Zilong Liu 05:58 Theresa Manney & Matt Mitchell, Hannah Manning & Rafal Pustelny 06:38 All Skate! *WINNING DANCERS* 1st Place 🏆: Irina Amzashvili & Matt Richey 2nd Place 🥈: Natalia Eristavi & Jacob Wigger 3rd Place 🥉: Alice Jeng & Blake Thiessen 4th Place 🏅: Theresa Manney & Matt Mitchell 5th Place 🏅: Cami Asher & Sam Chan *CONNECT WITH THE DANCERS* Irina Amzashvili https://www.instagram.com/irinabobina/ Matt Richey https://www.instagram.com/digadigadoos/ Frances Dougherty https://www.instagram.com/francesdohertyy/ Albert Ferran https://www.instagram.com/albertferran_/ Natalia Eristavi https://www.instagram.com/nataeristavi/ Jacob Wigger https://www.instagram.com/jacobla_balboa/ Grace Babbes https://www.facebook.com/gracieclaire Patrick Stephanoff https://www.instagram.com/gourlomi/ Cami Asher https://www.instagram.com/_camisole_/ Sam Chan https://www.instagram.com/samuel_chan___/ Alice Jeng https://www.instagram.com/alicejeng/ Blake Thiessen https://www.instagram.com/blakethie/ Teni Lopez-Cardenas https://www.instagram.com/tenidancesbalboa/ Jeremy Otth https://www.instagram.com/jeremyotth/ Olivia Hales Adams https://www.instagram.com/olivia_rose_goes/ Zilong Liu https://www.instagram.com/zilongswing Theresa Manney https://www.instagram.com/theresa.manney Matt Mitchell https://www.instagram.com/texasmitch/ Hannah Manning https://www.instagram.com/hannahm.swing/ Rafal Pustelny https://www.instagram.com/rafaloffthelog/ *MUSIC* Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five @campusfive *MORE* ➡️ All the details can be found on Camp Hollywood's website: https://camphollywood.net/ ➡️ Find all the best swing dancing in Phoenix: https://www.swingdancingphoenix.com/ #balboa #balswing #balboafinals #swingdance #camphollywood
