Balboa is a form of a swing dance that emerged in the 1930s and 1940s.

I think what he's saying is, rather than just have a section that says "Crossovers" followed by the author names, have the Crossovers section have some various subsections (all on the same page, mind; that could be easily separated with, say, different headers).
I think crossover fics should be put in the game section for which world the fic takes place in, or starts off in.

 StreetSwing's Dance History Archives - WEST COAST SWING Dance Page - Main1
West Coast Swing originated from a dance called the Savoy Style Lindy, which was done at the Savoy Ballroom in New York in the early 1930's, although not invented by it was indirectly spawned by a man whose name was Dean Collins who also danced at the Savoy while in New York.
Swing as a dance was the main dance that would be changed or another variation of the same dance was introduced such as "single rhythm" instead of the "triple rhythm" as well as many performers trying to take credit for a new style by giving it a new name.
The best style would depend on what type of music you are dancing to at the time, Geographics, the theme of the dance being held, geographics, the speed in which the music is played and the dance knowledge of you and or your partner.

 [ACX] format start locations (was: 80s dance stations BEFORE the time?)
However, WQHT was more of a true dance station and took much more of it's playlist from the NYC dance clubs and the dance charts.
WQHT had a heavy Latin influence from Puerto Ricans, Domicans, etc in the city that were really into freestyle and salsa and dance in general, while the Latin (Mexican) influence in LA has always leaned more to RandB tastes; and the two stations reflected these differences from the airchecks I've heard.
I think the old WQHT was a much much better dance station than WKTU is now (or even the old KTU for that matter).
