We gaan onder andere aan de slag met ritmische variaties. Docent deze week is Isobel. Let op: deze les is in het Engels, maar geen zorgen, er zijn genoeg mensen om voor je te vertalen.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen.

De band die voor ons komt spelen is Wouter en de Draak. \n\nWouter en De Draak bestaat uit Joris Alblas en Wouter Kuyper. Zij bezorgen dansers en luisteraars een fijne kriebel in hun buik met hun luisterrijke muziek. De sterke combinatie van trekharmonica en gitaar vormt het vertrekpunt voor hun veelzijdige dansmuziek. Een optreden van Wouter en de Draak dompelt haar publiek in een heel palet aan kleuren; van betoverend intieme mazurka's tot swingende scottisches met alle registers open. In de gelijkwaardige symbiose van beide instrumenten is een grote rol voor Joris' DADGAD-gitaar\nweggelegd; misschien is het daarom dat ‘Iers’ nooit heel ver weg ligt in hun sound. Wouters sterke trekzakspel is verfrissend en heeft zijn wortels in de folkmuziek van West-Europa. Hun gezamenlijke voorliefde voor Bretonse muziek hoor je terug in dansen zoals de Gavotte de Montagne, Andro, Hanterdro, Gavotte de l’Aven of een Kost ar c’hoad die naast de gebruikelijke balfolk-ritmes op hun setlist staan. Wouter en de Draak bestaat sinds 2014 en bracht in 2017 haar titelloze debuutalbum uit.\n\nGratis\nHet bal in De Doelen is gratis toegankelijk en iedereen van binnen en buiten Rotterdam is van harte welkom om mee te komen dansen of te luisteren naar de fijne muziek. \n\nDansuitleg voor beginners\nNog niet eerder (balfolk) gedanst? Geen zorgen, er wordt gestart met een dansuitleg van Balfolk Zuid-Holland, zodat degenen die nog niet eerder hebben gedanst, kunnen kennismaken met balfolk en daarna ook de hele avond mee kunnen doen. \n\nProgramma\nJe kunt naar wens binnen komen lopen in De Doelen (maar vanaf het begin meedoen is natuurlijk wel het leukste). Het programma:\n\nDansuitleg: 19.30\nBal met live Wouter en De Draak: 20.30\nEinde bal: 22.30\nDeuren sluiten: 23.30\n\nVernieuwde locatie\nOnlangs is De Doelen Studio volledig vernieuwd en opgeknapt. De ruimte is fijner om te dansen, de bar is apart - en de studio is nu zelfs op een nieuwe plek te vinden in het gebouw! Het adres is: Kruisplein 44. Volg de tonen van de balfolkmuziek en het gaat helemaal goed komen!\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe Doelen is het welbekende concertgebouw middenin hartje Rotterdam, op een kleine 3 minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Er zijn diverse parkeergarages in de omgeving. Kijk op prettigparkeren.nl voor mogelijkheden (zoek daarin wel even verder naar parkeergarages want standaard zie je een vrij dure optie). Je kunt voor De Doelen Studio naar binnen via een aparte ingang op de hoek van het Schouwburgplein en het Kruisplein, Kruisplein 44. \n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

This is the dancing of Queen Elizabeth I, of Jane Austen, and a living tradition that inspires musical compositions and choreographies today. The music can be stately or sprightly, traditional or modern, recorded or live. It is danced with simple walking or skipping steps in time to the music. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” with partners facing in lines down the hall. After a walk-through, the easy-to-learn figures are called throughout the dance as you interact with other couples in your set and then move on to the next and repeat.\n​\nYou can come by yourself and be assured of dancing throughout the evening, since our tradition is to welcome and teach beginners and change partners for each dance. Anyone can invite anyone else to dance, regardless of gender or experience.  English country dance will satisfy your wish for pleasurable exercise, a warm social community, mental stimulation, or even transcendent aesthetic experiences.

Dus mocht je nog in de Cadansa-sfeer zitten, of een middel tegen de post-Cadansa-blues zoeken, of gewoon zin hebben om op maandag avond lekker te dansen met een straffe band, kom dan vooral langs in de Moira in Utrecht!\nEr is ook ruimte voor sessie, dus neem vooral een instrument mee en mochten je voeten even een pauze nodig hebben, is de bar open voor een drankje!\nProgramma:\n17:30 Deuren open voor diner*\n19:00 DuOblique\n~21:00 Sessie\n~22:00 Einde zodat iedereen nog treinen terug naar de meeste andere (grote) steden kan pakken (en eventueel nog kan slapen voor dinsdag weer aan het werk te gaan ;) ).\n*Als het je gezellig lijkt kun je bij ons aanschuiven om je diner te komen eten. Dit kan alles zijn van potluck om tot delen tot een eigen maaltje en/of iets laten bezorgen bij de Moira.\nTarieven:\nHet bal kost €13 of meer. Als je minder te besteden hebt, kun je gebruik maken van het kortingstarief van €10. (Je kunt enkel contant betalen! Graag gepast mee te nemen.)\nFair trade: Bij dit bal krijgen de bands direct betaald wat er aan de deur wordt betaald. (Na aftrek van zaalhuur e.d.) Dat betekent dat je dus je waardering voor de muzikanten kunt laten blijken door wat meer te betalen zodat zij ook een wat eerlijker loon kunnen ontvangen. Mocht je het geld hebben, is het dus heel welkom om meer te betalen dan het standaardtarief van €12 in ruil voor dankbare blijere muzikanten.\nBand:\n(English)\nFinally there is Cadansa again and so of course there will be a grand Cadansa-after-afterparty again! So whether you are still in the Cadansa mood, trying to find a remedy against the post-Cadansa-blues, or just feel like dancing to the music of a super cool French on Monday evening, make sure you will get to the Moira in Utrecht!\nThere will also be some time for a session, so do bring your instruments and if your feet get tired and need a quick break, the bar is open for drinks!\nProgramme:\n18:30 Doors open for dinner*\n19:00 DuOblique\n~21:00 Session\n~22:30 End which is on time to get a train back to most of the other (big) cities (and possibly sleep a little before going to work on Tuesday ;) ).\n*If you would like some company for dinner,  feel free to join us with your own dinner. This can be anything from potluck to share, to your meal and/or delivery meal at the Moira\nAdmission\nEntrance fee for the ball is €13 or more. If you do not have so much to spend, use the lower fee of €10. (You can only pay with cash! Please bring the exact amount.)\nFair tade: At this ball the bands get paid directly what is being paid at the entrance. (After deducing the locations rent.) That means you can show your appreciation to the musicians by paying some more to make sure they will also get a fair wage. So if you have the money, you are very welcome to pay more than the standard fee of €12 in exchange for grateful happier musicians.\nLocation:\nThe event takes place in the Moira. A location for regular balfolk events with a nice dancing floor, good sound, atmospheric lights and a \"gezellige\" bar in the heart of Utrecht at only 1km from the central station.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/post-cadansa-ball-met-duoblique-en-diner/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1523015564965642/"],"start":"2024-11-04T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-04T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["DuOblique"],"price":"€10-€13","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Minibal","details":"Balfolk Abend","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/859389150"],"start":"2024-11-04T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-04T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Heiligenberg","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Olivier Valence"],"organisation":"Sönke","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"English Country Dance","details":"7 pm English Country Dance with Pete Grassby & the Grasshoppers","links":["https://www.folkstanzwirbel.de/"],"start":"2024-11-04T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-04T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Hamburg","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Pete Grassby and the Grasshoppers"],"callers":["Pete Grassby"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Folkstanzwirbel","source":"events/germany/hamburg.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance Course","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/327091070425645/327091130425639/"],"start":"2024-11-04T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-04T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Milan","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"La Scighera","source":"events/italy/milan.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Vooral gezellig samen dansen!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansavond-3-2024-11-04/"],"start":"2024-11-04T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-04T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Leeuwarden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"€2.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Partner Dances","details":"Weekly class.

This event will happen for the first time in Lithuania, so we hope to see everyone enjoying an infinite journey together. During the festival, there will be various workshops and dance balls. You will see performers from Lithuania and other European countries on the stage.\r\n\r\nWe would love to see how this festival becomes a tradition and connects Bal folk dancers from all over Europe.\r\nBehind the name:\r\n\r\nAd infinitum :\r\n1. meaning - without end or limit\r\n2. meaning - In context, it usually means \"continue forever, without limit,\" this can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating repeating process, or a set of instructions to be repeated \"forever,\" among other uses. It may also be used like the Latin phrase et cetera to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown. Examples include:\r\n\r\nBallo/ball :\r\n1. meaning - The Ballo was an Italian dance form during the fifteenth century, most noted for its frequent tempo and meter changes. The name ballo has its origin in Latin ballo, ballare, meaning \"to dance,\" which in turn comes from the Greek \"βαλλίζω\" \"to dance, to jump about.\" In Greece, there is a Greek dance named Ballos.\r\n2. meaning - Ballroom dances are social dancing, popular since the beginning of the 20th century, to dances in conventional rhythms ( ballroom dances) such as the foxtrot and the quickstep.\r\nProgram and other info later this year.\r\n\r\nDance is energy – Dance is freedom!\r\n\r\nNotice for Event Participants:\r\nPhotography and Videography Consent: As an attendee, you may be included in photographs and video recordings captured during the event.

Het thema deze week is de mazurka: de basis en een aanzet op variaties met gebruik van muzikaliteit in deze dans. Deze les sluit aan bij de verdieping ervan volgende week. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen.

Wijtze Pieter en Irina groeiden beiden op in een omgeving vol muziek. Volksmuziek heeft een speciale plaats in hun hart, met name de muziek uit de lage landen. Maar ook (dans)muziek uit andere West-Europese landen spelen ze met plezier. Met elkaar spelen zij op een keur aan instrumenten zoals trekharmonica, nyckelharpa, contrabas, fluiten, slagwerk en regelmatig wordt er gezongen. Door de instrumenten steeds weer in andere combinaties te gebruiken ontstaat er een veelheid aan klankkleuren, waar eenieder heerlijk op kan dansen. Tegenwoordig spelen soms ook hun kinderen Seija en Gjalt mee. Of zij er wel of niet bij zullen zijn bij dit bal is nog niet zeker. Maar als ze er zijn wordt het instrumentarium minstens aangevuld met viool, altviool, gitaar, en trompet. Bij de muziek van Windroos kan je gewoon niet stil blijven zitten.\n\nNatuurlijk is ook het AdHoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) er weer bij. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse balfolk muziek.\n\nHet bal zal weer gehouden worden in hotel/restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Het bal begint zoals gebruikelijk stipt om 14:00 uur. Reserveren is niet nodig.\n\nEntree is € 8,00 en reserveren is niet nodig.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-op-de-zondagmiddag-in-enkhuizen-met-windroos/"],"start":"2024-11-10T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-10T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Enkhuizen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["AdHoc Orkest","Windroos"],"price":"€8","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Miniscule","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/427190883599382/"],"start":"2024-11-10T14:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-10T18:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Oxford","source":"events/uk/oxford.yaml"},{"name":"Sunday Afternoon Masterclass","links":["http://www.contrafusion.co.uk/Saturday.html#P"],"start":"2024-11-10T14:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-10T16:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Maidstone","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"callers":["John Sweeney"],"price":"£7","organisation":"Contrafusion","source":"events/uk/contrafusion.yaml"},{"name":"Englefield Green contra dance","links":["https://www.ashfordfolkdancers.org.uk/contra_dances/"],"start":"2024-11-10T14:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-10T17:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Egham","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Box of Frogs"],"callers":["Mark Elvins"],"organisation":"Ashford Folk Dancers","source":"events/uk/ashford.yaml"},{"name":"Due passi nel Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1589218828617037/"],"start":"2024-11-10T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-10T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Recanati","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo du Balcon"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Due passi nel Folk","source":"events/italy/recanati.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk Ehningen","details":"Musik von Autour de Bâle und Vagalan","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/576793805"],"start":"2024-11-10T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-10T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Ehningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Autour de Bâle","Vagalan"],"organisation":"danzamol","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Boombal","details":"Ball","links":["https://boombal.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2220"],"start":"2024-11-10T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-10T22:45:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Kwintet Gestrikt","Cardboard Cabin"],"organisation":"Boombal","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Fest Noz","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/906346714713230/"],"start":"2024-11-10T17:00:00-08:00","end":"2024-11-10T21:00:00-08:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Berkeley","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$15","organisation":"Adrienne Simpson","source":"events/usa/berkeley.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance Course","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/327091070425645/327091133758972/"],"start":"2024-11-11T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-11T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Milan","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"La Scighera","source":"events/italy/milan.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Vooral gezellig samen dansen!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansavond-3-2024-11-11/"],"start":"2024-11-11T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-11T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Leeuwarden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"€2.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Partner Dances","details":"Weekly class.

Dit gaan we doen onder leiding van Rick.  Deze les is het vervolg op die van vorige week, maar beiden zijn los van elkaar te volgen.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-317-rotterdam-mazurka-verdieping/"],"start":"2024-11-14T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Quäker-Nachbarschaftsheim","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/tanzlernabend-4"],"start":"2024-11-14T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/502092549376068/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm3EpPHpg7wp7nDR6YzPEUkybQT6FDxJrhmhSrVUIjVubz5Q/viewform"],"start":"2024-11-14T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-11-14T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Autumn Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/392654210577952/392654237244616/"],"start":"2024-11-14T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-14T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Fleur-de-Lis Fling","details":"Louisville Country Dancers presents the Sixteenth \nFleur de Lis Fling \nMusic from: Eric Boodman, Emily Troll, and Larry Unger\n(additional band TBD) \nCalling from: Bob Isaacs and River Rainbowface \nRegistration opens September 1st","links":["http://www.louisvillecountrydancers.org/fleur-de-lis-fling","https://cdss.org/event/fleur-de-lis-fling/"],"start_date":"2024-11-15","end_date":"2024-11-17","country":"USA","state":"KY","city":"Louisville","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Electric Eel","Double Trouble"],"callers":["Bob Isaacs","River Rainbowface"],"price":"$80-$135","organisation":"Louisville Country Dancers","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Catalina Dance Weekend","links":["https://www.catalinadanceweekend.com/"],"start_date":"2024-11-15","end_date":"2024-11-17","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Catalina Island","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Faux Paws","Engine Room","Countercurrent"],"callers":["Alex Deis-Lauby","Gaye Fifer"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk intensive 2024","details":"Ticketverkoop is open vanaf 1 september 2024\n\nWeekend intensive van 15 t/m 17 november met de mogelijkheid om een nacht te verlengen.\n\n𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀...\nHeb je je ooit afgevraagd \"Wie ben ik als danser en wie zou ik willen zijn?\"\nDeze intensive is een danservaring die (ervaren) dansers ertoe leidt hun volledige potentieel te bereiken om hun dans te ontwikkelen en dieper te duiken in beweging, lichaamscontrole en co-creatie (improvisatie).\nNa een succesvolle editie in 2022 en 2023, komt er een nieuwe editie eind dit jaar.\nMAX.

Met veel persoonlijke aandacht en gerichte oefeningen. Een intensive onderscheidt zich van een enkele workshop in een totaal opbouw met dieper detailniveau waarop wordt gewerkt. Met persoonlijke feedback uit de groep en van docent(en). De intensive is gericht op dansers die willen groeien en vanuit een technischere basis willen leren bewegen. Met als doel uiteindelijk meer vrijheid in hun dans te kunnen vinden (betere connectie en meer variatie). De duur van de intensive geeft de mogelijkheid om langer stil te staan bij onderwerpen en te werken met ervarend leren. Waarbij ruimte wordt gemaakt voor het invullen van een persoonlijk leerdoel.\n\n𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻:\nBiomechanica en natuurwetten, danshouding en basis danstechniek (denk o.a. aan balans en spierspanning), consent, connectie en improvisatie (en muzikaliteit). De focus ligt hierbij niet op danspassen maar op beweging en lichaamscontrole en belangrijkste nog wel de communicatie binnen een danskoppel. Hoe dans je samen, in plaats van hoe dans ik mét iemand…\n𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: Deelname is geschikt voor dansers uit de social dance scene. Basis ervaring in de rol van leiden OF volgen is noodzakelijk en kennis van de meest voorkomende dansen binnen Balfolk is gewenst. In de intensive wordt van een danser gevraagd om zichzelf te evalueren en ook anderen van feedback te voorzien. Belangrijk is dus dat je bij deelname open staat voor zelfontwikkeling.\nEr wordt gewerkt met een beperkte groepsgrootte zodat er ruimte is voor voldoende persoonlijke aandacht van de docent en wisselen in de groep zodat we vooral ook van elkaar kunnen leren, waarbij de deelnemers ook zelf aangeven waar ze op willen ontwikkelen.\n🅛🅔🅣 🅞🅟: Het instapniveau ligt relatief hoog, twijfel je over je dansniveau?

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nAirboxes\nBert Leemans en Guus Herremans zijn al meer dan een decennium bevriend en delen een onuitputtelijke passie voor muziek. Als ervaren muzikanten hebben ze samen een indrukwekkend repertoire opgebouwd, variërend van meeslepende dansmuziek tot intieme luisterstukken.\nHun gezamenlijke muzikale reis begon kort na hun ontmoeting en al snel werden ze met hun nieuwe band opgemerkt in binnen- en buitenland. Als drijvende kracht achter projecten zoals Les Bottines Artistiques, EmBRUN, Triple-X & Phlox, hadden ze al heel wat ervaring opgedaan in het internationale circuit. Met Airboxes leidde hun muzikale reis hen naar enkele van Europa's meest prestigieuze festivals, waaronder Entrudanças in Portugal, Dranouter Festival & Boombalfestival in België, CaDansa in Nederland... om er maar een paar te noemen. In 2017 bundelden Bert en Guus officieel hun krachten om Airboxes te vormen, een muzikaal project dat hun diepe liefde voor het accordeon viert en de grenzen van traditionele accordeonmuziek overschrijdt.\nMet het nieuwe, tweede album \"Confluence\" bereiken Bert en Guus nieuwe hoogten. Dit album, verrijkt met toevoegingen van bandoneon, piano en accordina, weerspiegelt de voortdurende evolutie en creativiteit van het duo. Airboxes neemt het publiek mee op hun voortdurende muzikale ontdekkingsreis, waarbij de magie van akoestische instrumenten en de grenzeloze creativiteit van Bert en Guus samenkomen voor een onvergetelijke luisterervaring.\n\n\nWat is Balfolk?\nBalfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.\n\nDe Kapel\nDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkcafe-met-airboxes/"],"start":"2024-11-15T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-15T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes"],"price":"€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"TANZhaus WABE","details":"20:00 Uhr – BalFolk\nEintritt: 21 Euro regulär, 13 Euro ermäßigt *\nLa Belle Ivresse (FR)\n\nLA BELLE IVRESSE ist ein Duo, das traditionelle Musik aus Québec spielt und Corentin Boizot-Blaise (Violine, Gesang, Podorhythmie) und Colin Delzant (Cello) verbindet.\nInspiriert von der Euphorie der Sessions in Québec, zelebriert und transformiert das Duo diese Musik, indem es ständig zwischen den Codes der Tradition und einem unwiderstehlichen Drang, den Rahmen neu zu gestalten, hin und her schwankt.\nMal festlich, mal intim, leicht verzerrt, schafft der Sound von LA BELLE IVRESSE einen Raum der Begegnung, in dem sich die Trance der Reels mit der Vertraulichkeit der Lieder der Zusammenkünfte vermischt; Melodien aus Archiven oder neuere Kompositionen.\nÜbersetzt aus dem Französischen mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)\nVideo\n \nJormsons Kapell\nJormsons Kapell – Foto: privat\nJormsons Kapell, das ist kernige Tanzmusik von Über(ost)see – ein erfrischendes Musikvergnügen zum Lauschen, Schnipsen oder Abtanzen.

Vincent Gaffet en Diego Meymarian, zangers en multi-instrumentalisten, bieden een euforisch bal dat originele creaties mengt met een inventieve herinterpretatie van het populaire repertoire. De twee muzikanten wisselen vrolijk van accordeon naar tamboerijn, van viool naar banjo om gebeitelde, springerige, romantische kleine epossen af te leveren die een terugkeer zijn naar traditionele muziek zonder deel uit te maken van het verleden, of de hedendaagse mode. Een pop- en akoestisch universum, met ondeugende teksten op melodieën die je snel oppikt. Van scottish tot polka, van wals tot Noirmoutier branle, bal Tralala is een folkloristische reis langs de 4 hoeken van Europa. Het duo deelt hun honger naar vocale harmonieën, nieuwe geluiden en de ritmische, dansbare poëzie van de Franse taal. Een reeks zangerige woorden verrijkt met meer exotische klanken: Italiaans, Creools en Romaans.\n\nHet Belgische duo Naragonia brengt eigenzinnige balfolkmuziek met een verfijnde stevige energie. Toon van Mierlo is een muzikale duizendpoot en bespeelt o.a. uilleann pipes, Franse doedelzak, klarinet, sopraansaxofoon en diatonisch accordeon. Pascale Rubens neemt zowel viool als diatonisch accordeon ter hand.\n\nEr is een workshop voor het bal: Guide to get lost\nProgramma\nLet op: Bal en workshop beginnen later dan gebruikelijk!\n\n12:30 – Workshop\n15:30 – Einde Workshop\n16:00 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:30 – Tralala Lovers\n18:30 – Potluck\n19:45 – Naragonia\n21:45 – Eind bal\nTickets, Tarieven en Voorwaarden\nJe kan vooraf een kaartje kopen via de grote knop 'Koop direct een kaartje' bovenaan deze pagina.\n\nJe kan tickets kopen voor alleen het Bal, een Combiticket voor Bal + de Workshop vooraf, of een los ticket voor de Workshop.\n\nOm het bal toegangkelijk te houden zijn er meerdere tarieven: Korting voor dansers die het krap heben, Normaal voor het gangbare ticket, en Fair-Trade voor dansers die willen bijdragen aan eerlijke vergoedingen voor docenten en muzikanten.\n\n\n\n\nKorting\nNormaal\nFair-Trade\n\n\n\n\nBal\n€15\n€20\n€25\n\n\nBal + Workshop\n€30\n€38\n€45\n\n\nWorkshop\n€20\n€23\n€25\n\n\n\nBij het doen van een bestelling moet je akkoord gaan met het privacybeleid en de verkoopvoorwaarden.\n\nLet op! Als je van tevoren geen kaartje hebt besteld, betaal je contant of per QR code (iDeal, Bancontact) aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\nFair Trade\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? Wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade. :)\nEten en Drinken\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken in de zaal liggen.\n\nEr is een Potluck na de eerste band: we zetten een aantal tafels in het midden van de zaal met labetjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Hier onstaat dan een buffet van al het lekkere eten dat door deelnemers is meegenomen - wat neem jij mee? Aangezien er balfolkies zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) is het fijn als je een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten wil zetten.\n\nVergeet niet je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee te nemen, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit; we zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.\n\nDe Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.\nAlle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.\nLocatie\nHet bal vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.\n\n\n\n** English **\n\n\n\nYou can order your tickets via the big button labelled 'Koop direct een kaartje' at the top of this page.\n\nThe Tralala Lovers are injecting an explosive energy into the vast gallery of traditional dance music. Vincent Gaffet and Diego Meymarian, singers and multi-instrumentalists, offer a euphoric ball that mixes original creations with an inventive reinterpretation of the popular repertoire. The two musicians joyfully switch from accordion to tambourine, from violin to banjo to deliver chiselled, bouncy, romantic little epics that are a return to traditional music, while being neither part of the past, nor any particular current fashion. A pop and acoustic universe, with mischievous lyrics to tunes you'll quickly pick up. From scottish to polka, waltz to Noirmoutier branle, bal Tralala is a folk journey that takes in the 4 corners of Europe. The duo share their appetite for vocal harmonies, new sounds and the rhythmic, danceable poetry of the French language. A range of lilting words enriched by more exotic sounds: Italian, Creole and Romany.\n\nBelgian duo Naragonia performs quirky balfolk music with a refined solid energy. Toon van Mierlo is a musical jack-of-all-trades that plays (among others) uilleann pipes, French bagpipes, clarinet, soprano saxophone and diatonic accordion. Pascale Rubens takes up both violin and diatonic accordion.\n\nThere is a workshop before the ball: Guide to get lost\nProgramme\nPlease Note: The ball and workshop start later than usual.\n\n12:30 – Workshop\n15:30 – End of Workshop\n16:00 – Doors open for the ball\n16:30 – Tralala Lovers\n18:30 – Potluck\n19:45 – Naragonia\n21:45 – End of bal\nTickets, Prices and Conditions\nYou can buy a ticket in advance by clicking the big button labelled 'Koop direct een kaartje' at the top of this page.\n\nYou can order tickets for just the Ball, a Combination ticket for the Ball + the Workshop before the ball, or a ticket for just the Workshop.\n\nTo keep the ball accessible, we have multiple price options: Korting (Discount) for dancers that are tight on money, Normaal for the regular ticket, and Fair-Trade for dancers that want to contribute to fair compenstaion for teachers and musicians.\n\n\n\n\nKorting\nNormaal\nFair-Trade\n\n\nBal\n€15\n€20\n€25\n\n\nBal + Workshop\n€30\n€38\n€45\n\n\nWorkshop\n€20\n€23\n€25\n\n\n\nTo order a ticket you must agree to our privacy policy and registration conditions.\n\nNB! If you have not gotten a ticket in advanced, you can pay for one by cash or by QR code (iDeal, Bancontact) at the door. Later in the evening, we will move the cash register to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. Unfortunately, we cannot offer the option to pay by pin.\nFair Trade\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly?Do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Then payFair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians deserve more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to come to our events with galettes. Choose Fair Trade :)\nFood and Drinks\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belogings. Please do not leave them on the couches near the dancing floor.\n\nThere will be a potlock in the evening: we will put a number of tabels in the middle of the room labelled vegetarion, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Here we'll make a buffet of all sorts of delicious food brought by participants - what are you bringing? Since there are balfolkies with allergies (e.g. nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etcetera), we would appreciate it if you could list the ingredients of your dish.\n\nPlease make sure to bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoon, as we don't have any of those at the Moira. Afterwards, it would be nice if you could clean up and / or throw out your own waste after the potluck.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\nGuidelines\nWe want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.\nIn principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines.\nLocation\nThe ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-moira-bal-met-tralala-lovers-en-naragonia/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-moira-workshop-guide-to-get-lost/"],"start":"2024-11-16T12:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-16T21:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia","Tralala

Een deun om op te dansen, zowel dromerig als speels, barstend van energie en warmte, met betrokkenheid en intensiteit. Één accordeon, één stem. Het is allemaal zo eenvoudig, toch zo vol met mogelijkheden: dus stap in en laat je door ons leiden. Simon Gielen: accordeon Marion Blanchard: zang\n\n\n\n \tDuo Baftig\n\nWat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van 2022 is nu officieel tot een balfolk muzikanten duo uitgegroeid.\n\nDuo Baftig speelt zeer dansbare tunes op akkoestische gitaar en viool. Manon en Robin delen een passie voor balfolk dans en folk muziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo speelt verassende mix tussen Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!\n\nLocatie\nMezrab draagt Balfolk een warm hart toe en nodigt ons iedere maand uit te komen dansen. Je kunt in de Mezrab op andere dagen vooral terecht voor storytelling. Het café dient als inspiratiebron voor vele theaters, centra, musea en festivals om ook storytelling te programmeren. Mezrab programmeert meerdere keren per week regelmatig vertelavonden. Op de andere avonden wordt storytelling gecombineerd met andere kunstdisciplines (dans, beeldende kunst, poëzie, etc.) en een wereldmuziekprogramma.\n\nEr is plek voor zo'n 100 dansers.\n\nAdres:\nMezrab\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nFotocredit\nBalfolk Amsterdam","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-noiranomis-en-pfm/"],"start":"2024-11-17T16:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Baftig","Noiranomis"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bal De La Cabane Du Bout Du Monde","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://lesentetes.com/tralala-lovers/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2102"],"start":"2024-11-17T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Watermaal-Bosvoorde","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Tralala Lovers"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance Course","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/327091070425645/327091080425644/"],"start":"2024-11-18T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-18T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Milan","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"La Scighera","source":"events/italy/milan.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Vooral gezellig samen dansen!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansavond-3-2024-11-18/"],"start":"2024-11-18T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-18T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Leeuwarden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"€2.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Partner Dances","details":"Weekly class.

We gaan bezig met de wals en dan vooral de basis daarvan: de danshouding, wals- en draaitechniek en oriëntatie in de ruimte. Ervaring met wals is niet nodig.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-318-rotterdam-wals-basis/"],"start":"2024-11-21T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-21T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balhalla","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.balhalla.be/en/","https://www.facebook.com/events/454188854026278/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2174"],"start":"2024-11-21T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-21T23:15:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aérokorda"],"organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Autumn Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/392654210577952/392654223911284/"],"start":"2024-11-21T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-21T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Stuttgart","details":"Feuerwehrhaus","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/585162430","https://www.facebook.com/events/449378350797670/"],"start":"2024-11-22T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-22T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Stuttgart","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes Trio","Emma & Jonas"],"price":"€15-€25","organisation":"Verena & Holger","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Fénix Festival","links":["https://folquemadrid.wixsite.com/fenixfest"],"start":"2024-11-22T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-24T16:00:00+01:00","country":"Spain","city":"Cercedilla","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Dos","Ballsy Swing"],"price":"€150","organisation":"Folqué Madrid","source":"events/spain/folquemadrid.yaml"},{"name":"Nog een Sautsje dansen","details":"Details volgens z.s.m.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/nog-een-sautsje-dansen/"],"start":"2024-11-22T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-22T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Zeist","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€5","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bristol Contra Dance","details":"Bristol Contra Dance is a communal-style folk dance very similar to a Ceilidh.

We gaan onder leiding van Kelly en Thom aan de slag met de wals en ballroom in de balfolk.\n\nBallroom in de Balfolk\nVaak worden balfolk en ballroom als elkaars tegenpolen gezien, maar is dat wel zo?Met behulp van een dans die in beide voorkomt, de wals in 3, gaan we opzoek naar de verschillen en overeenkomsten tussen deze twee stijlen. Frame, postuur en muzikaliteit zullen centraal staan in deze socialles. Basiskennis van de wals in 3 is voor deze workshop een vereiste.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-319-rotterdam-wals-ballroom-in-de-balfolk/"],"start":"2024-11-28T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Quäker-Nachbarschaftsheim","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/tanzlernabend-7"],"start":"2024-11-28T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/393205663622872/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm3EpPHpg7wp7nDR6YzPEUkybQT6FDxJrhmhSrVUIjVubz5Q/viewform"],"start":"2024-11-28T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-11-28T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Jamsessie / Folkbal (CBO)","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2441"],"start":"2024-11-28T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-28T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Breaking Up Thanksgiving","links":["https://www.breakingupthanksgiving.com/"],"start_date":"2024-11-29","end_date":"2024-12-01","country":"USA","state":"IL","city":"Evanston","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"MuwiFolxTanz Vol.26","details":"Folk dance at the university.

Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz loopjes klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest, CaDansa en Le Son Continu. Naast bals speelde Paracetamol een concerttour langs karakteristieke kerkjes in Noord Nederland. Inmiddels heeft Paracetamol een debuutalbum vol eigen composities.

De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen. We dragen de folkmuziek een warm hart toe en het is onze wens dat de muziekscene in Den Bosch steeds groter en actiever wordt. Schroom dus niet om je instrument te pakken en mee te spelen, iedereen is welkom! Ook als je niet bij het dansen bent geweest, ben je welkom voor de sessie!\n\nVERSNAPERINGEN\n\nIn de bar kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje!

Havok, Die ZWEI und Ute+Michael spielen den längsten Bal Folk, den die Stadt je erlebt hat! Die 2 Die ZWEI – das bedeutet einen intensiven musikalischen Dialog zwischen Gitarre und Klarinette. Das Sichzuspielen und Verwandeln, Verschlingen und wieder Lösen der Stimmen und Klangfarben, die Verzahnung in den Rhythmen des Bal Folk. Ein Spiel im eigentlichen Sinn. Zwiegespräche, die jedes Mal neu sind und auf dem Tanzboden fortgesetzt werden wollen. Eckart Dähnert: Klarinette Michael Müller: Gitarre HavoK HavoK – Haus von Klaus – tanzen gern. Sehr gern. Am liebsten zu Musik, die gefühlvoll und kraftvoll zugleich ist, bei der die Mischung von Paar- und Reihentänzen stimmt, Eigenkompositionen nicht verkopft klingen, sondern das Zeug zum Ohrwurm haben. Musik, die vom Ohr übers Herz direkt in die Beine geht. Und deswegen spielen sie selber solche Musik. Einfach. Schöne Musik. Thomas Raisch: Klarinette Ulrike Alles: Diatonisches Akkordeon Ute+Michael. Mit ihrer klaren ausdrucksstarken schnörkellosen Stimme und dem besonderen Verständnis von Sprach- und Tanzrhythmus singt Ute Visser die traditionellen Tanzlieder auf besonders mitreißende Art. Die tragischen, romantischen, fröhlichen oder auch banalen Texte werden vor allem durch Ute Vissers besondere Interpretation zu bewegenden Geschichten. Begleitet wird sie von Michael Müller an der Gitarre.   Manesse Hopp Manesse Hopp spielt europäische Folk-Musik, die in die Beine geht. Und es darf getanzt werden, nach Lust und Laune,  zu Kreis-, Reihen- oder Paartänzen. Die 7-köpfige Band aus Marburg liebt sowohl fetzige als auch ruhige Stücke und sieht sowohl ihre Musik als auch die Tänze dazu als Lebensfreude pur! Nach den Bands ist die Bühne offen für Bal Folk Session und es kann weiter getanzt werden, bis die Musik untergeht. Tanzworkshop 19:00 Uhr: Wir zeigen kurz die wichtigsten Tänze und Überlebenstricks für die Tanzfläche. Mit Live-Musik. Ohne Workshop geht auch – aber mit macht es noch mehr Spaß!

Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan aan de slag met de wals in 5 en 8, gecombineerd met muzikaliteit: want hoe hoor je nu precies of het een wals in 3, 5 of 8 is en wat nu als de muzikanten dat afwisselen? Enige ervaring met de wals is handig, maar niet verplicht. Deze les is mooi te combineren met de les van 2 weken hiervoor voor de basis van de wals, maar beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen.

We gaan ook in op vragen als: Hoe bewegen we met z’n allen over de dansvloer en waar kun je (wel/niet) stilstaan? Hoe houden we een cirkel een cirkel en geen ei of spiraal?

Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen.

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nTom Moore and Archie Moss\nWidely regarded as two of the best players and innovators in traditional folk amongst a precociously gifted generation, Moore & Moss’ finely-crafted arrangements wield a rare potency. Now, having toured with with some of the biggest and brightest acts in the British folk scene, they reconvene to perform as duo.\nTheir second record (released 2020) is set to further unite the deep and resolute harmony of Moss’s accordion with the texture and flow of Moore’s viola; with droning, whirring, sparkling layers of electro-acoustic grit provoking a subtle complexity of palette. Whilst intrinsically borrowing from English and other European traditional dance form, sonically Moore and Moss have their heads firmly in the present, understanding the values of contemporary music and art making. The distinct pulse and intuition of trad-music haunts their playing as they continue to quietly reconsider English instrumental music, listening and responding to the world around them as much as their musical ancestors.\nTom Moore | Archie Moss (tommoorearchiemoss.com)\n\nWat is Balfolk?\nBalfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.\nDe Kapel\nDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.\n\nAGENDA\nSchrijf de data alvast in je agenda en houd balfolk.nl in de gaten.\n\n17 januari: Paracetamol\n\n21 februari: nog onbekend","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkcafe-met-tom-moore-en-archie-moss/"],"start":"2024-12-13T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-13T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Moore & Moss"],"price":"€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Ceilidh","links":["https://www.ceilidhsoc.org/ceilidhs/"],"start":"2024-12-13T19:45:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-13T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£3-£5","organisation":"Sheffield CeilidhSoc","source":"events/uk/sheffield_ceilidh.yaml"},{"name":"Ceilidh Club","links":["https://ceilidhclub.com/event/london-ceilidh-club-13-12-24-cecil-sharp-house/"],"start":"2024-12-13T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-13T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£18-£24","organisation":"London Ceilidh Club","source":"events/uk/ceilidh_club.yaml"},{"name":"Cambridge Contra Dance","links":["https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/","https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/programme.html"],"start":"2024-12-13T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-13T22:15:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2","organisation":"Cambridge Contra Dance","source":"events/uk/cambridge_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Adventstanz Tübingen","details":"verschiedene Tübinger Gruppen","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/551398799"],"start":"2024-12-14T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-14T23:05:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Tübingen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Anja von Richthofen","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Oxfolk Ceilidh","links":["https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oxfolkceilidhs/1376473","https://www.facebook.com/events/1196559031676466/"],"start":"2024-12-14T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-14T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Narthen"],"callers":["Jo Freya","Fi Fraser"],"price":"£3-£14","organisation":"Oxfolk","source":"events/uk/oxfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Culemborg Ceilidh","links":["https://www.degelderlandfabriek.nl/agenda/archief/ceilidh-december-2024/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1677067109813756/"],"start":"2024-12-14T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-14T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Culemborg","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Maggies Wedding"],"callers":["Carieke Pol"],"price":"€14.50","organisation":"De Gelderlandfabriek","source":"events/netherlands/culemborg.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/270368432760052/"],"start":"2024-12-14T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-15T00:00:00+01:00","country":"France","city":"La Chaux","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["La Chouette Enjôleuse"],"organisation":"balachaux","source":"events/france/la_chaux.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk RZF","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.rzf.be/en_US/event/bal-folk-avec-broes-2024-12-14-69/register","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1934"],"start":"2024-12-14T20:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-14T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Alleur","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Broes"],"price":"€7-€15","organisation":"Rif Zans L'Fiesse","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Sytchampton Saturday dance","links":["https://www.sytchamptondanceclub.org.uk/p/dance-diary-experiment.html"],"start":"2024-12-14T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-14T22:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sytchampton","styles":["ecd","contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["The Falconers"],"callers":["Geoff Cubitt"],"price":"£8","organisation":"Sytchampton Folk Dance Club","source":"events/uk/sytchampton.yaml"},{"name":"Ceilidh","links":["https://balfolkstroud.uk/cps/gigs/ceilidhwiththediatonics-e6dba1.php","https://www.facebook.com/events/1635113040597745/","https://www.tickettailor.com/events/balfolkstroud/1317005"],"start":"2024-12-14T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-14T22:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Stroud","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Diatonics"],"callers":["Hannah Moore"],"price":"£14","organisation":"Balfolk dans les Cinq Vallées -

Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur.

De band die voor ons komt spelen wordt later nog bekend gemaakt. Hetzelfde geldt voor het exacte programma qua tijden.\n\nSessie\nOok deze keer is er, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent in Rotterdam, weer genoeg\nruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee!\nUiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nEr is met het kerstbal ook weer een picknick. De picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf\ngeregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat\nwordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor\nkannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee\nnaar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en\nbestek zijn niet per se nodig.\n\nPrijs\nDe toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon.\nDit kun je aan de deur cash bij ons betalen, pinnen is niet mogelijk.\n\nReserveren\nWe vinden het fijn als je even laat weten dat je komt, dus vergeet niet te reserveren.\n\nLocatie\nHet bal is in Cuartito Azul aan de Schoterbosstraat 17 in Rotterdam. Het is goed bereikbaar\nmet openbaar vervoer, het is op zo’n 10 minuten lopen vanaf het centraal station Rotterdam.\nParkeren is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds.

Volg de tonen van de balfolkmuziek en het gaat helemaal goed komen!\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe Doelen is het welbekende concertgebouw middenin hartje Rotterdam, op een kleine 3 minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam.

Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz loopjes klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest, CaDansa en Le Son Continu. Naast bals speelde Paracetamol een concerttour langs karakteristieke kerkjes in Noord Nederland. Inmiddels heeft Paracetamol een debuutalbum vol eigen composities.

Bargainatt spielen moderne und authentische Musik, die eigene Kompositionen und traditionelle Melodien verbindet. Sie lassen sich von den Tänzen der verschiedenen Regionen Frankreichs inspirieren, die ihnen am Herzen liegen: Auvergne, Poitou, Gascogne, Bretagne… Dabei bewahren sie die Feinheiten der Tradition und bieten gleichzeitig einen lebendigen und energiegeladenen Sound. Die Band, die ihre Anfänge auf den Märkten „au chapeau“ machte, nimmt mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch sein Universum, das von der klassischen Ausbildung seiner Streicher und den farbenreichen Harmonien seines Akkordeonisten genährt wird. Fast zwei Jahre lang reiste die Gruppe genüsslich durch Frankreich und Europa, um Tänzerinnen und Tänzer zu treffen. Mit mehr als 100 Bällen auf der Habenseite legen die vier mit einem fruchtigen und farbenfrohen Album wieder los: „C’est pas banane!“ Unglaublich schwungvoll, vielschichtig, gefühlvoll, perfekt zusammen, grandioser Groove, ein Highlight!

De band die komt spelen is Geronimo.\n\nGeronimo is het soloproject van gitarist Jeroen Geerinck, bekend van onder andere Snaarmaarwaar en Hot Griselda. Hij is een muzikant en producer die actief is in de Belgische folkscene. Hij is vooral bekend vanwege de flinke hoeveelheid energie die hij brengt in het geluid van de bands waar hij in speelt. Bovendien heeft hij ruimschoots ervaring in het creëren van folkalbums en is hij altijd op zoek naar nieuwe smaken en muzikale interpretaties. Geronimo is voor hem een soort speeltuin waar hij het experiment van het mixen van genres en muziek nog verder kan brengen, waar hij voor zichzelf geen  compromissen hoeft te sluiten en alle grenzen kan opzoeken en verkennen.\n\nGratis\nHet bal in De Doelen is gratis toegankelijk en iedereen van binnen en buiten Rotterdam is van harte welkom om mee te komen dansen of te luisteren naar de fijne muziek.\nDansuitleg voor beginners Nog niet eerder (balfolk) gedanst? Geen zorgen, er wordt gestart met een dansuitleg van Balfolk Zuid-Holland, zodat degenen die nog niet eerder hebben gedanst, kunnen kennismaken met balfolk en daarna ook de hele avond mee kunnen doen.\n\nProgramma\nHet exacte programma met de tijden volgt nog. Je kunt naar wens binnen komen lopen in De Doelen (maar vanaf het begin meedoen is natuurlijk wel het leukste).\n\nVernieuwde locatie\nOnlangs is De Doelen Studio volledig vernieuwd en opgeknapt. De ruimte is fijner om te dansen, de bar is apart - en de studio is nu zelfs op een nieuwe plek te vinden in het gebouw!\nHet adres is: Kruisplein 44. Volg de tonen van de balfolkmuziek en het gaat helemaal goed komen!\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe Doelen is het welbekende concertgebouw middenin hartje Rotterdam, op een kleine 3 minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam.

Het centrale uitgangspunt in onze muziek is altijd de dansbaarheid ervan!\n\n \n\nAndroneda speelt balfolkmuziek op saxofoon, trekzak en doedelzak.

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nSwartematerieSwartematerie is het alter ego van Patricia Swart, die met saxen en klarinet en een loopstation allerlei laagjes over elkaar legt waar dan een jig of mazurka op gedanst kan worden. De toegift wordt op verzoek een wals waarmee ze haar set begon. Het is de eerste keer dat ze deze nummers (de eerste vijf die ze ooit geschreven heeft voor balfolk) solo voor publiek speelt, vertelt ze. Ze is nu al een paar jaar bezig met het spelen van balfolkmuziek en maakte deel uit van Dioptrie, dat echter niet vaak opgetreden heeft en inmiddels gestopt is. Verder speelt ze in Androneda. Muziek beschouwt ze als donkere materie, waarvan niemand echt weet wat het precies is, maar er is een trilling. Op den duur wil ze graag gaan werken met meer technieken om soundscapes te creëren. Balfolkmelodieën lenen zich daar goed voor omdat ze vaak een eenvoudige structuur hebben.Website: http://www.patriciaswart.nl/?page=agenda\n\nWat is Balfolk?Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.\n\nDe KapelDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkcafe-groningen-op-zondag-met-swartematerie/"],"start":"2025-04-13T14:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-13T17:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Swartematerie"],"price":"€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"ComSiBal Festival","links":["https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid026TJvzZh3d4nVoJCAQh3sMaVuw19E4Vpou3j7HCd77KKff8n2mNmhDwiX5VqAHAwWl&id=100067741125219"],"start_date":"2025-04-18","end_date":"2025-04-20","country":"Belgium","city":"Boutersem","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"ComSiBal","source":"events/belgium/comsibal.yaml"},{"name":"Vrijdagavondbal","details":"Op vrijdagavond 18 april kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die komt spelen is Exqueezit.\n\nExqueezit is het duo Bert Leemans (chromatische knop-accordeon) en Erik de Jong (piano-accordeon). Bert (bekend van o.a. EmBRUN, Elanor en Airboxes) en Erik (bekend van o.a. The Assasenachs, Itchy Fingers en de Gonnagles). Met een wederzijds respect voor elkaars muziekachtergrond en speelstijl (Erik meer Iers/Schots en Bert meer Balfolk), brengen Bert en Erik heerlijke Balfolk met zowel Frans/Vlaamse als Keltische invloeden. Of je nu danst of luistert, het is sowieso genieten. De twee muzikanten leerden elkaar in 2006 kennen op de muziekstage Vliers op Texel, waar Bert aan Erik de fijne kneepjes van het Balfolk spelen liet zien. Toen in 2018 Bert vaker in Noord Nederland te vinden was, kwam hij Erik weer tegen in Irish Pub O'Ceallaigh in Groningen. Al gauw was duidelijk dat de mannen genoten van samenspelen. Hier ontstond dan ook het idee voor een optreden als duo op het 15-jarig jubileum van Balfolk in Café Wilhelmina in Eindhoven. Een half jaar later herhaalde dat zich nog een keer op Elfia Haarzuilens 2019 en zo is Exqueezit ontstaan.\n\nGratis\nHet bal in De Doelen is gratis toegankelijk en iedereen van binnen en buiten Rotterdam is van harte welkom om mee te komen dansen of te luisteren naar de fijne muziek.\nDansuitleg voor beginners Nog niet eerder (balfolk) gedanst? Geen zorgen, er wordt gestart met een dansuitleg van Balfolk Zuid-Holland, zodat degenen die nog niet eerder hebben gedanst, kunnen kennismaken met balfolk en daarna ook de hele avond mee kunnen doen.\n\nProgramma\nHet exacte programma met de tijden volgt nog. Je kunt naar wens binnen komen lopen in De Doelen (maar vanaf het begin meedoen is natuurlijk wel het leukste).\n\nVernieuwde locatie\nOnlangs is De Doelen Studio volledig vernieuwd en opgeknapt. De ruimte is fijner om te dansen, de bar is apart - en de studio is nu zelfs op een nieuwe plek te vinden in het gebouw!\nHet adres is: Kruisplein 44. Volg de tonen van de balfolkmuziek en het gaat helemaal goed komen!\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe Doelen is het welbekende concertgebouw middenin hartje Rotterdam, op een kleine 3 minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Er zijn diverse parkeergarages in de omgeving. Kijk op prettigparkeren.nl voor mogelijkheden (zoek daarin wel even verder naar parkeergarages want standaard zie je een vrij dure optie). Je kunt voor De Doelen Studio naar binnen via een aparte ingang op de hoek van het Schouwburgplein en het Kruisplein, Kruisplein 44. \n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nExqueezitExqueezit is het duo Bert Leemans (chromatische knop-accordeon) en Erik de Jong (piano-accordeon).Bert (bekend van o.a. EmBRUN, Elanor en Airboxes) en Erik (bekend van o.a. The Assasenachs, Itchy Fingers en de Gonnagles) leerden elkaar in 2006 kennen op de muziekstage Vliers op Texel, waar Bert aan Erik de fijne kneepjes van het Balfolk spelen liet zien.Toen in 2018, Bert vaker in Noord Nederland te vinden was, kwam hij Erik weer tegen in Irish Pub O'Ceallaigh in Groningen. Al gauw was duidelijk dat de mannen genoten van samenspelen. Hier ontstond dan ook het idee voor een optreden als duo op het 15-jarig jubileum van Balfolk in Café Wilhelmina in Eindhoven. Een half jaar later herhaalde dat zich nog een keer op de Elf Fantasy Fair Haarzuilens 2019 en zo is Exqueezit ontstaan.Met een wederzijds respect voor elkaars muziekachtergrond en speelstijl (Erik meer Iers/Schots en Bert meer Balfolk), brengen Bert en Erik heerlijke Balfolk met zowel Frans/Vlaamse als Keltische invloeden. Of je nu danst of luistert, het is sowieso genieten.\n\nWat is Balfolk?Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.\n\nDe KapelDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen.

Das anglo-belgisches Balfolk-Trio spielt mit Konzertgitarre, Akkordeon und Geige nicht nur in einer für Bal Folk einmaligen Besetzung. Es ist vielmehr so, als hätten die Instrumente ein Eigenleben: Die verschiedenen Stimmen und Klangfarben umwerben und nähern sich vorsichtig, immer darauf achtend sich zu unterstützen und Raum zu geben. Und manchmal treffen sie sich zu einer großen Party. Ihr Stil ist ausdrucksstark und improvisatorisch, voller Leidenschaft, Zartheit und Verspieltheit. Oft geben Emilys Kompositionen die Themen vor, inspiriert von Begegnungen des Lebens und der Energie des Tanzbodens. Daraus ergibt sich ein weitreichendes Repertoire – von exquisiten, sinnlichen Mazurkas bis hin zu fröhlichen, treibenden Bourrées.
