The San Diego Balboa and Lindy Exchange 2025 (a.k.a. SDBLX)

At this point, this is just a save-a-date notice. The tickets are on sale at "early bird" pricing of a $110 for all three days, see sdblx.wordpress.com/registration/ (there is usually an "at the beach" event that is free), but I cannot find a schedule yet.

SDBLX is a major 3-day event (you can attend it piecemeal, or book everything with one ticket). Each day includes a band and few hours of DJ music in addition to other things.

The crowd: more than 100 dancers, most with above intermediate skills. There typically is a noticeable lack of leads, not disastrous.
