door Wouter Kuyper\nWaarom dansen sommige mensen een wals op een mazurka, of andersom? Kan je het verschil horen tussen een snelle scottish en een polka? Wat maakt een bourrée een bourrée (in 2? in 3?) ? En kan je een scottish dansen op een andro? Deze vragen komen in een workshop met een van de meest ervaren (bal)folkmuzikanten in Nederland allemaal aan bod.\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nHoe herken je als danser de dingen die belangrijk zijn in de muziek om op te dansen, dat is waar deze workshop over zal gaan. Over verschillen en overeenkomsten, over een glijdende schaal of niet, over je eigen keuzes, en die van de band... en zo meer. Ik neem zelf natuurlijk onderwerpen mee, maar het lijkt me leuk om ook een dialoog mogelijk te maken. (Muziek en dans is altijd een uitwisseling!) Dat betekent dat je ook je prangende vragen over de muziek en aanverwanten mee mag nemen; wie weet heb ik een antwoord. ;-) En het is ook de bedoeling dat we veel dansen, natuurlijk.\n\nNiveau\nDe workshop staat open voor iedereen die wil dansen, en die al een beetje een basis heeft in de dansen, en dus ook iets kan met bovenstaande vragen. (begonners-gevorderden)\n\n\nOver de Docent\nWouter Kuyper (1978) is sinds zijn 10de jaar al bezig met de volksmuziek. Als muzikant: Eerst met blokfluit, daarna met doedelzak, en vervolgens sinds zijn 15e ook met de trekharmonica. Na vele stages (en de daarbij horende nachten) gevolgd te hebben, onder andere in Gooik (BE), St. Chartier (FR) en \"Trek er es Uut \" en \"Schier\" in Nederland, speelt hij nu onder andere met de Nederlandse Balfolkbands \"Wouter en de Draak\", BmB, Androneda en nog meer.\nAls muziekdocent: Hij heeft al jaren zijn eigen trekzakacademie en heeft lesgegeven bij Trek er es Uut, Doorslaande Tongen en de Stichting Volksmuziek Nederland (SVN). Maar ook als danser en dansdocent: Hij ontwikkelde en gaf 15 jaar geleden de danslessen met Louise Marius, en gaf jaren balfolkdansles in Leiden.\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\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 workshops 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. Bekijk de richtlijnen hier.\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

Ook in Groningen komt er weer een echt balfolkbal. Op 8 april speelt Paracetamol in De Travertijn.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Deuren open\n19.00 Dansworkshop (incl Bravade en Grabbelton)\n20.00 Bal deel 1\n20.45 Pauze\n21.15 Bal deel 2\n22.00 Spansen (spelen en dansen, neem je instrument dus mee voor deze sessie!)\n23.00 Einde\n\nHet bal vindt plaats in De Travertijn. Daar hebben we een mooie grote zaal met een heel erg fijne houten dansvloer. Adres: Travertijnstraat 6 in Groningen.\n\nDe kosten zijn 10 euro. Heb je voldoende te besteden en draag je live muziek een warm hart toe? Betaal dan wat meer bijvoorbeeld 20 of 15 euro. Na aftrek van de zaalhuur gaat namelijk al het geld naar de muzikanten. Zijn de kosten voor jou een reden om niet te komen? Neem dan even contact op dan kunnen we vast samen een oplossing vinden.\n\nEr is geen bar. Wel mogen we zelf eten en drinken meenemen. Alcohol is in het gebouw niet toegestaan.\nHet is fijn als je je vooraf aanmeldt. Dat kan via een PM aan Mariken Stegmann of via email naar balfolkcafe.groningen@gmail.com. Vooraf betalen vinden we ook fijn. Dat kan door het geld over te maken naar NL67Rabo0342768719 tnv ME Stegmann. Niet vooraf aangemeld? Aanmelden aan de zaal + contant betalen kan ook!\nWe hanteren de op dat moment geldende corona-maatregelen. Op dit moment betekent dat alleen: blijf bij klachten thuis. We houden je op de hoogte mochten de regels veranderen.\n\nTijdens de workshop kunnen we alvast lekker dansen: De bandleden behandelen de basispassen van een aantal dansen zodat beginners niet aan de kant hoeven staan. Maar daarnaast is er ook aandacht voor een aantal minder bekende dansen die Paracetamol wel in het repertoire heeft zitten zoals de Bravade en de Grabbelton. De workshop is geschikt voor zowel beginners als meer gevorderde dansers. Dus het je nu gaat om een goede voorbereiding op het bal of om een uurtje extra dansen, je bent van harte welkom!\n\nOm 22u moet de versterkte muziek uit. Waarschijnlijk is er nog wel de mogelijkheid om onversterkt nog even samen muziek te maken en door te dansen. Ook hierover volgt tzt een update.\nOver de band: Paracetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka’s, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657.\nDe band bestaat uit\n- Rob Zantkuijl (doedelzakken, saxofoon),\n- Jan Willem Veenhuis (gitaren, percussie),\n- Gyöngyi Kovács (contrabas, zang) en\n -Nico Beltman (viool, dudey, doedelzak).\nhttp://paracetamolfolk.nl/","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkbal-groningen/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1623432948014801/"],"start":"2022-04-08T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-04-08T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Paracetamol"],"price":"€10-€20","organisation":"Balfolkcafe Groningen","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Sauts béarnais","details":"De Sèt Sauts (“zevensprong”, https://youtu.be/rjbppyTDrso) is een dans die iedereen los van elkaar op een cirkel danst.

Deze zijn allemaal gebaseerd op ‘calls’, instructies geroepen door een ‘caller’.\nVanavond gaan we bezig met een aantal van deze dansen. We starten met de Sèt Sauts, en leren daarna de calls voor wat andere sauts zoals de Mariana en La Craba. Als je een paar van deze calls kent, kun je op een bal nog veel meer sauts meedansen!\n\nJe hebt geen voorkennis of ervaring nodig om met deze practice mee te doen, je kunt zo

Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske & Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nDe mazurka is een populaire koppeldans die oorspronkelijk uit Polen komt. De muziek en dans zijn ontzettend divers: van energiek naar sereen en van springerig naar vloeiend. Door onder andere de ritmiek van de pas te veranderen kun je improviseren, en zo ontstaat een dans waar velen naar vooruit kijken op bals.\n\nIn deze workshop gaan we ons de mazurka écht eigen maken door drie fundamentele aspecten uit te diepen: de basispas, lichaamshouding, en de communicatie met de danspartner. Er zal veel verschillende muziek langskomen om de diversiteit van de mazurka te schetsen, en we zullen variaties in ritme, verticale energie en dynamiek ontdekken. Het doel is om soepel en op een manier mazurka's te kunnen dansen op de uiteenlopende energie van de muziek.\n\n\nNiveau\nVoor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.\n\nVoor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.\n\nOver de Docenten\nRenske en Aljosha zijn enthousiaste dansers die al jaren een passie voor Balfolk delen. Vanaf 2016 organiseren ze lessen en workshops in onder andere Wageningen en Nijmegen. Ook organiseren ze vijf keer per jaar het grote bal in de Junushoff in Wageningen. Hun dansfilosofie draait om het plezier in de dans, lichaamsbewustzijn en postuur, respect en connectie tussen danspartners, en dans als een interpretatie van muziek. Verder zijn ze als dansers actief in de wereld van contactimprovisatie.\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\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 workshops 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.

Dus op 17 april (1e paasdag) gaan we weer los. We hopen dat de gemeente ons deze keer weer kan ondersteunen, andwoord hier op wordt binnekort verwacht maar het bal gaat hoe dan ook door! Omdat de fair-trade price afgelopen keer bevallen is blijven we dit concept hanteren, voor meer infromatie hierover kijk bij het kopje prijzen.\n\nWat is een Fest Noz?\n\nEen Fest Noz is de bretonse naam voor een feest in de avond. Deze naam wordt meestal gebruikt voor evenementen in bretagne waar live muziek en dansen aanwezig zijn. Voor deze editie van het bal in Hoorn hebben we 3 groepen uit bretagne bereid gevonden om naar Hoorn af te reizen om hier een echt Fest Noz neer te zetten. Er zullen op de avond ook gewoon koppel dansen langs komen maar verwacht dus ook veel verschillende bretonse dansen. Deze dansen zullen tijdens de workshop worden uitgelegd en het is ook al vaker voorgekomen dat deze muzikanten onbekendere dansen tijdens het bal hebben uitgelegd (in het engels zelfs!!!). Dus maak je geen zorgen, we gaan er een goed feestje van maken!\n\nProgramma\n\n12:00 – 15:00 – Workshop “Basis van Bretonse Dansen” door Leo Visser\n15:15 – 16:15 – Dansuitleg\n16:30 – 18:30 – Beat Bouet Trio\n18:30 – 19:30 – Picknick\n19:30 – 21:30 – Fahrenheit\n21:45 – 23:30 – La Sauterelle\n\nPraktische informatie\n\nDe locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn en de treinen rijden nog nadat het bal is afgelopen.\nMet de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Als het goed is kan er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.\nOp de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden.\nWe zullen zorgen dat dit keer de ventilatie direct vanaf het begin aanstaat zodat het iets minder heet in de zaal wordt dan vorige keer!\n\nPicknick\n\nTenzij de maatregelen veranderen zullen we tijdens het bal een potluck picknick hebben. We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Ik weet (nu) nog niet zeker of de winkels in de buurt op deze dag open zullen zijn, houd er dus rekening mee dat deze mogelijk gesloten zijn en dat je dus van te voren iets wil kopen om mee te nemen!\n\nWorkshop\n\nVoorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gehouden worden door Leo Visser van BalfolkWorkshop.com, de workshop zal de basis van bretonse dansen behandelen en ingaan op hoe je kunt instappen in iedere dansen in een groep zonder het idee te hebben dat je de dans voor andere verpest. De workshop is dus vooral gericht op meer beginnende dansers maar ervaren dansers zijn meer dan welkom om ook weer even hun dansen op te frissen!\n\nPrijzen\n\nVoor het bal hanteren we twee tarieven. We hebben het normale tarief en het fair-trade tarief. De musikanten en geluids technici krijgen genoeg betaald voor hun werk door ondersteuning van de gemeente Hoorn. Het fair trade tarief is het bedrag dat eigenlijk nodig zou zijn om iedereen ruimte kunnen betalen, de gages die nu gegeven worden kunnen gerealiseerd worden doordat er een tour bezig is.

gerund door leuke mensen nodigt balfolk uit om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).\nEen dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band. Sessie na. Komen jullie ook?\n\nDe entree is slechts 13,- euro voor een hele avond plezier! Dansuitleg om 19:30. Bal vanaf 20:30. Reserveren is niet noodzakelijk en kan  op de site van Balfolk Amsterdam als je zeker wilt zijn van toegang.\n\nEr wordt lekkere Iraanse soep geserveerd, voor 6 euro krijg je ook een bordje (de rode linzensoep is vegan). Dus als je direct uit je werk komt, kan je het frietje op 't station overslaan :-)\n\nProgramma:\n19:00 Deuren open (soep!)\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met juffen Gepke en Berend. Live begeleiding!\n20:30 Bal met de begeleidingsband!\n21:00 Bal met Duo Mackie/Hendrix\n23:30 einde en nog een half uurtje sessie\nAlan Mackie en Lies Hendrix vonden elkaar in 2015 onder de middernachtzon in Noord-Noorwegen. In die tijd waande Alan zich een jazzbassist en dacht Lies dat ze een taalkundige was. Enkele jaren, talloze kaneelbroodjes, nachtelijke kaartspellen en gefluisterde jams in Franse hotelkamers later weten ze dat ze het bij het verkeerde eind hadden: er gaat niets boven samen viool en accordeon spelen.\n\nIn 2021 giet Duo Mackie/Hendrix traditionele dansmuziek uit heel Europa en Noord-Amerika in de vorm van populaire balfolkdansen: Kentucky square dances worden jigs, hallings uit Värmland blijken Bretoense rijdansen en bourrées zijn bourrées. Mackies gevoel voor jazz- en bluegrassimprovisatie en Hendrix' harmonische intuïtie bouwen onverwachte bruggen tussen ogenschijnlijk onverwante tradities, met unieke en levendige dans- en luistermuziek als resultaat.\n\nHier is video van een eerder 'bluegrassy' nummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9vqoCX5Bso). Daarnaast spelen we ook veel 'echte' (zowel Franse als Scandinavische) dansmuziek.","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-alan-mackie-en-lies-hendrix","https://www.facebook.com/events/388817129359149/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-duo-mackie-hendrix/"],"start":"2022-04-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-04-21T23:59:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Mackie-Hendrix"],"price":"€13","organisation":"Balfolk Amsterdam","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Socialles 229","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/475690990849021/"],"start":"2022-04-21T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-04-21T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"Balfolk Zuid-Holland","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_zuid_holland.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 5 & 6","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/civicrm/event/info%3Fid%3D674%26reset%3D1","https://folkbalbende.be/event/658"],"start":"2022-04-21T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-04-21T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tertúlia Folk","links":[],"start":"2022-04-21T21:30:00+00:00","end":"2022-04-21T23:59:00+00:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Porto","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Coreto","source":"events/portugal/porto.yaml"},{"name":"Tatterdemalion in Dorchester","links":["http://www.sadfolk.co.uk/listings.php"],"start_date":"2022-04-22","end_date":"2022-04-22","country":"UK","city":"Dorchester","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Tatterdemalion"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Weekend Oxford","links":["https://www.folkweekendoxford.co.uk/2022-ceilidhs","https://www.facebook.com/events/311615671006475/","https://www.facebook.com/events/494103258996499/"],"start_date":"2022-04-22","end_date":"2022-04-23","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["e-ceilidh","s-ceilidh","balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Oxford University Ceilidh Band","Jigfoot","Shivelight","Sawney White"],"callers":["Jane Bird","Ian Nichols"],"organisation":"Oxfolk","source":"events/uk/oxfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk at KIPISZ","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1112546652859942"],"start_date":"2022-04-22","end_date":"2022-04-22","country":"Poland","city":"Łódź","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"5 PLN","organisation":null,"source":"events/poland/lodz.yaml"},{"name":"Introductieworkshop","details":"Ben je nieuwsgierig naar Balfolk of ken je iemand die het leuk lijkt met Balfolk kennis te maken?

en figuur)\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\nDe Fundamentals, workshops waarin we veelvoorkomende balfolk dansen leren. Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske & Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).\n\n\nHet is mogelijk om je los in te schrijven voor elke Fundamentals workshop.\n\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nPolka, een koppeldans met een eenvoudige basis en ongekende mogelijkheden. De Polka komt veel voor op bals en is een ideale dans om variaties en technieken te leren die bij allerlei andere dansen ook van pas komen. Met deze workshop op zak heb je gegarandeerd op alle bals een leuke tijd!\n\nDeze Fundamentals workshop begint zoals gebruikelijk met een aantal bases: basispassen en basishouding, zowel in leiden en volgen. Je bent vrij om de rol te leren/dansen die jij wil. Naast dat we deze bases onder de knie krijgen, gaan we aan de slag met variaties en techniek binnen het thema 'verplaatsen in de ruimte' - heel leuk om eindeloos mee te spelen en nuttig om botsingen op de dansvloer te voorkomen.\n\nMet verplaatsingen in de ruimte kunnen we als danskoppel allerlei kanten op gaan, letterlijk. Denk maar aan draaien, van richting veranderen, of naar de andere kant van de zaal bewegen. We zullen bij deze workshop wat extra ruimte maken voor persoonlijke aandacht en oefeningen zodat je steeds comfortabeler wordt in je danshouding en in effectieve communicatie met je danspartner. Zo stap je straks met nog meer plezier en vertrouwen de dansvloer op!\n\n\nNiveau\nVoor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.\n\nVoor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.\n\n\nOver de Docent\nSophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de tijdloze en improvisatorische danswereld. Ze heeft brede ervaring in het lesgeven van niet alleen tijdloze dans maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contact improvisatie en mime. Haar uitgebreide achtergrond zet ze in om studenten van alle leeftijden de vele verschillende wegen naar Rome in de optredende kunsten te laten zien. Sophie leidt vele verschillende (improvisatie) dansprojecten en streeft naar iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven om te leren zichzelf, binnen hun mogelijkheden en talenten, te uiten via de kunst.\n\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\n\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 workshops 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 workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\n(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)\n\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

En kan gedanst worden op langzame walsen en heeft ook wat weg van slängpolska.\n\nWorkshop + practicum: € 25,-\n\nHet 'practicum' is een FusionUnion social met veel mooie walsjes om je Cross step Waltz op te oefenen afgewisseld met gevarieerde nummers uit verschillende stijlen.\nAanmelden voor de workshop is noodzakelijk  bij peggypay\nDeelnemen kan zonder partner.\n\nHet practicum kan ook los van de workshop worden bezocht (15:30-19:30).\nOnline sale practicum: € 7,- (cash aan de deur € 10,-)\nZie ook het Facebook-event onder 'Meer info >>'\n\nOver Alena Bialova:\nNaast CSW is Alena fervent danser binnen verschillende dansstijlen waaronder, historische dansen, balfolk, blues, fusion, tango en danst ze al jaren Schotse dansen en Iers. Ze is organisator en DJ van verschillende evenementen in Krakow waaronder balfolk, fusion en historisch reenactment. Haar dansgroep in Krakow is momenteel de enige groep in West-Europa die op regelmatige basis cross-step lessen houdt.\n\nWat is CSW (Cross Step Waltz):\nEen dansvorm die makkelijk te leren is, doch eindeloos innovatief en gevarieerd genoeg voor beginnende alsook gevorderde dansers. Je legt afstand af en er is sprake van rotatie zoals bij een 'traditionele' wals maar door de kruisende-pas is er een grote range en speelse set aan variaties mogelijk. Waardoor een vloeiende en bijna meditatieve manier van wals bereikt kan worden.\nOrigineel komt CSW uit de Blues hoek uit Parijs in 1920 en is op Stanford University nieuw leven ingeblazen rond 1990. Tegenwoordig wordt het over de hele wereld gedanst en zijn er al meer dan 250 variaties vastgelegd.\nAlena in actie.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-cross-step-waltz-van-alena-pl-incl-practicum/"],"start":"2022-05-08T12:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-08T19:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Arnhem","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/952"],"start":"2022-05-08T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-08T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Borgerhout","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Biblioteca Mao VZW","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk with SkALD","links":["https://www.lutherkirche-suedstadt.de/veranstaltungen/bal-folk-mitmachtanz-heute-live-skald/"],"start":"2022-05-08T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-08T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["SkALD"],"price":"€13-€15","organisation":"BalFolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dublin","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/354362656758859/"],"start":"2022-05-08T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-05-08T19:00:00+01:00","country":"Ireland","city":"Dublin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dublin","source":"events/ireland/balfolk_dublin.yaml"},{"name":"Gran Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/662792921461780/"],"start":"2022-05-08T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-08T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Venice","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aérokorda"],"price":"€10","organisation":"Sognando a Piedi Nudi - Mestre","source":"events/italy/venice.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1309986429497191/","https://forms.gle/fP8no4vi4dAgjZP18"],"start":"2022-05-08T18:30:00-04:00","end":"2022-05-08T20:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Montague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Eloise & Co."],"price":"$15","organisation":"Rachel Bell","cancelled":true,"source":"events/usa/massachusetts.yaml"},{"name":"Holderness Folk Band in Wawne","links":["https://www.areyoudancing.com/dance-event/603872/"],"start_date":"2022-05-09","end_date":"2022-05-09","country":"UK","city":"Wawne","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Holderness Folk Band"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Warszawsko-Lubelska Orkiestra Dęta","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1083605735523738"],"start_date":"2022-05-09","end_date":"2022-05-09","country":"Poland","city":"Warsaw","styles":["polish"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Warszawsko-Lubelska Orkiestra Dęta"],"price":"PWYW","organisation":"Dom Tańca","source":"events/poland/warsaw.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Utrecht — Fundamentals: Groepsdansen","details":"Balfolk Utrecht presenteert\nFundamentals - Groepsdans\n\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\nDe Fundamentals, workshops waarin we veelvoorkomende balfolk dansen leren. Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske en Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nIn deze workshop werken we aan het basisrepertoire groepsdansen: tovercirkel, jig, an dro en hanter dro. Deze dansen komen vaak voorbij op bals, zijn een heerlijke uitnodiging om oude en nieuwe dansers te leren kennen. We zullen een stuk dieper op iedere dans ingaan dan in de initiatie, en naast de passen en variaties werken aan de groepsenergie die juist deze dansen zo speciaal maakt - van de connectie tussen buren of partners naar de samenhang van de hele cirkel of rij.\n\nTovercirkel (“cercle cercassien”) en jig (“chapelloise”) zijn voorbeelden van “mixers”: dansen waarin de dansvloer gemengd wordt omdat iedere 32 maten van partner gewisseld wordt. We zullen aandacht besteden aan mogelijkheden om met de choreografie te spelen, werken aan een goede communicatie in de verschillende danshouding die mixers bieden, en aan etiquette. Na de workshop zul je meer mogelijkheden hebben om te variëren in mixers, en meer plezier vinden in de speelse soepelheid die deze dansen kunnen bereiken.\n\nAn dro en hanter dro zijn Bretonse rijdansen, waarbij er ketens van aaneengesloten dansers worden gevormd. We bespreken uiteraard de basis voor de handen en voeten, maar gaan ook hard werken aan de synergie tussen buren en door de hele rij heen. Die synergie ligt deels in het postuur dat karakteristiek is voor Bretonse dansen, maar ook in de verticale energie (bounce) in de rij. We gaan op zoek naar die verticale energie in muziek en dans.\n\n\nNiveau\nVoor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.\n\nVoor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.\n\n\nOver de Docenten\nRenske en Aljosha zijn enthousiaste dansers die al jaren een passie voor Balfolk delen. Vanaf 2016 organiseren ze lessen en workshops in onder andere Wageningen en Nijmegen. Ook organiseren ze vijf keer per jaar het grote bal in de Junushoff in Wageningen. Hun dansfilosofie draait om het plezier in de dans, lichaamsbewustzijn en postuur, respect en connectie tussen danspartners, en dans als een interpretatie van muziek. Verder zijn ze als dansers actief in de wereld van contactimprovisatie.\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\n\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 workshops 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 workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\n(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

Docenten deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Zij gaan samen met ons aan de slag met de bourree auvergnate (bourree in drie).\n\nProgramma\n18.30: Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nDansen en corona\nDe coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet.\n\nLocatie\nDe socialles is vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-230-rotterdam-bourree-auvergnate/"],"start":"2022-05-12T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-12T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Mazurkas in May","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/542503650556614/"],"start":"2022-05-12T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-05-12T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Sheffield Eurosession","source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Tertúlia Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/685956219111707/"],"start":"2022-05-12T21:30:00+00:00","end":"2022-05-12T23:59:00+00:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Porto","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Coreto","source":"events/portugal/porto.yaml"},{"name":"Arish Mel in Kimmeridge","links":["http://www.earwicker.org/about_arish_mel.htm"],"start_date":"2022-05-13","end_date":"2022-05-13","country":"UK","city":"Kimmeridge","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Arish Mel"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Jigsmith in Whitchurch","links":["https://www.areyoudancing.com/dance-event/604560/"],"start_date":"2022-05-13","end_date":"2022-05-13","country":"UK","city":"Whitchurch","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Jigsmith"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"TANZhaus Wabe im Mai","details":"Weitere Informationen folgen zeitnah.\nÜber den Mail-Verteiler „Aktuelles“ seid ihr immer informiert.","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/wabemai"],"start":"2022-05-13T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-13T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Feestdansen","details":"Door alle tijden heen is er dansen op feesten geweest.

Van heerlijk bluesy getinte balfolk tot sfeervolle en energieke deunen: deze beide muzikale artiesten gaan ons een topavond vol fijne balfolkdansjes bieden.\n\nVooraf zal er ook een workshop zijn, gegeven door Mr. Folxlide zelf!

Iedereen is uiteraard welkom om mee te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nEr staat ook een picnick gepland. Breng daarvoor voor jezelf (en één of twee anderen) wat lekkers te eten mee, wat op één grote tafel wordt verzameld, zodat we met z'n allen een heerlijke maaltijd zullen hebben. Het is handig om eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen, dat is niet aanwezig op de locatie zelf.\n\nNieuwe locatie\nDe locatie kunnen we je al wel vertellen: voor het eerst zullen we een bal geven in het Maaspodium in Rotterdam, aan de Sint-Jobsweg 3 in Rotterdam. Deze locatie biedt een mooie danszaal en een gezellige bar en foyer waar behalve dansen ook wat bijgekomen en gekletst kan worden. Metrostation Coolhaven is op een kleine 10-15 minuten lopen afstand. Op zondag is voor zover bekend straatparkeren gratis. Er is ook een parkeergarage vlakbij. Gebruik je eigen favoriete routeplanner om je route te bepalen. Meer informatie is te vinden op de website van het Maaspodium. \n\nToegang\nTickets kosten voor dit bal 25 euro per persoon. Reserveren is fijn, zowel voor jezelf als voor ons, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het gaat worden.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bal-in-rotterdam-2/","https://www.facebook.com/events/614286926528715/"],"start":"2022-05-15T13:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-15T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Mr Folxlide","Duo De Schepper-Sanczuk"],"price":"€25","organisation":"Balfolk Zuid-Holland","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Free Folk Bal","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/nl/civicrm/event/info?id=711","https://folkbalbende.be/event/957","https://www.facebook.com/events/608558514314828/","https://www.facebook.com/events/366510798710783/"],"start":"2022-05-15T13:15:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-15T18:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Berendrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Twalseree","Naragonia Quartet","Novar"],"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Le Grand Bal Folk","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://www.les48h.fr/evenements/le-grand-bal-folk/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/982"],"start":"2022-05-15T14:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-15T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Tournai","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Les Décalés"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfest'day","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/325188639738631/"],"start":"2022-05-15T15:00:00+03:00","end":"2022-05-15T23:00:00+03:00","country":"Turkey","city":"Istanbul","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Deli Reçel","The Schwänzeltanz"],"price":"50TL-100TL","organisation":null,"source":"events/turkey/istanbul.yaml"},{"name":"Mazurka workshop and bal folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/677331293498910/","https://bit.ly/BalFolkMazurka"],"start":"2022-05-15T14:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-15T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Padua","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Di Doux"],"price":"€8-€25","organisation":"Uno È la Danza","source":"events/italy/padova.yaml"},{"name":"Englefield Green contra dance","links":["https://www.ashfordfolkdancers.org.uk/contra_dances/"],"start":"2022-05-15T14:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-05-15T17:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Egham","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Stringrays Trio"],"callers":["Will Mentor"],"organisation":"Ashford Folk Dancers","source":"events/uk/ashford.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Suédois","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","http://duo-noordwest.nl","https://folkbalbende.be/event/955"],"start":"2022-05-15T17:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-15T19:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Watermaal-Bosvoorde","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Noordwest"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"PHIZZFEST Balfolk Dance Session","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/301919252133155/"],"start":"2022-05-15T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-05-15T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Ireland","city":"Dublin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dublin","source":"events/ireland/balfolk_dublin.yaml"},{"name":"Holderness Folk Band in Wawne","links":["https://www.areyoudancing.com/dance-event/603873/"],"start_date":"2022-05-16","end_date":"2022-05-16","country":"UK","city":"Wawne","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Holderness Folk Band"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Utrecht — Verbinding in de Dans","details":"Balfolk Utrecht presenteert\nVerbinding in de Dans door Bart Boskaljon\n\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier.

Hoe we verbinden is heel is heel bepalend voor de dans. Het zorgt veel meer dansplezier bij ons en onze danspartners.

Balfolk, Argentijnse tango en Stijldansen. Hij gebruikt technieken uit de verschillende dansen om met meer plezier en verfijnder te kunnen dansen.

Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\n\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 workshops 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 workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\n(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).\nEen dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band.

Bal vanaf 20:30. Reserveren is niet noodzakelijk en kan  op de site van Balfolk Amsterdam als je zeker wilt zijn van toegang.\n\nEr wordt lekkere Iraanse soep geserveerd, voor 6 euro krijg je ook een bordje (de rode linzensoep is vegan). Dus als je direct uit je werk komt, kan je het frietje op 't station overslaan :-)\n\nProgramma\n\n19:00 Deuren open (soep!)\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met juffen Gepke en Berend.

We brachten in 2021 ons eerste album uit en hopen dat je ons een keer komt bezoeken om het mee te maken.\n\nBmB bestaat uit Luc Plompen (zang, gitaar), Wouter Kuyper(doedelzakken, fluiten, chalumeau) en Niek van Uden-Luteijn(accordeon). Wij kennen elkaar jaren via de internationale (bal)folk scene. De wens om het gezongen lied in een krachtige bezetting te brengen, zorgden uiteindelijk voor de combinatie van deze rasechte troubadour met vertellende stem, een partij doedels en fluiten zoals alleen Wouter kan en een stevige basis van Nieks concertaccordeon. In 2021 hebben we ons eerste album uitgebracht, “Ge vindt wel een taal”.\n\nLuister hier naar een

Je kunt daar reserveren voor de bal + workshop, ook kun je daar reserveren als je alleen naar de workshop wil komen.\n\nWorkshop Beschrijving\n\n\nLet's jump right into the Scandinavian dances and we promise that the water is much less cold than you might expect! The vals is very similar to the waltz you already know, the slängpolska is improvisative, cooperative and fun, the halling is very free, show-offy and fun, and the schottis needs a bit more care about where you feet are but is, well, also very fun.\nThe main ingredient common to all these dances is the typical Nordic “bounce”, which we will keep as a running theme during these 3 hours. We will also focus on communication in dancing, listening both with your ears and your eyes, and keeping energy to last all night!\n\nAll in all, a useful workshop for everyone wanting to try Scandinavian dances but not having had the opportunity (or dare) yet, and also for people who, after two years break, want to remember how it is to walk on Nordic moss.\n\nNo prerequisites for attending the workshop, but dance experience is always a plus and we will go at a fast pace, to make the most of the limited time.\nMusic both on recordings and played live by Emelie.\n\nOver de Docent\nEmelie Waldken  is een muzikant en dansdocent uit Zweden. Je kunt meer over haar lezen door op haar naam te klikken.\n\nNiveau\nVoor alle niveaus mits je snel leert.\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe workshop 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\nPrijzen en Reserveren\nVoor de prijzen en reserveren, zie hier.\n\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.

Wil je de workshopbeschrijving lezen, zie hier.\n\n\nProgramma\n12:00 – Workshop van Emelie Waldken\n15:00 – Einde workshop\n15:30 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:00 – Emelie Waldken (Zweden)\n17:30 – Potluck\n19:00 – Wouter Kuyper (Nederland)\n20:30 – Les Bottines Artistiques (Belgie)\n22:00 – Einde bal en Sessie tijdens het opruimen\n\n\nBands\nOp dit bal hebben we dus maar liefst drie volgende bands voor jullie:\n\nEmelie Waldken  is een muzikant en dansdocent uit Zweden, die voor ons een workshop en uitvoering zal verzorgen. We kunnen dan de dingen dat we op de workshop hebben geleerd gelijk toepassen op het bal.\n\nWouter Kuyper is in de Nederlandse folk al jaren een zeer zeer bekende en populaire muzikant.\n\nLes Bottines Artistiques is onze derde epische band met niemand minder dan Guus Herremans op accordeon en stopmbox en Pavel Souvandjiev op viool. Ze spelen al jaren samen door heel Europa, maar mocht je je nog afvragen, wie zijn dat? Je kunt meer over ze lezen door op hun naam te klikken, of je kunt hieronder naar ze luisteren. Met dank aan Frisse Folk voor de opname.\nhttps://youtu.be/QEkgaP8N9bg\n\n\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\nReserveren\nReserveren kan via de knop bovenaan deze pagina. Hier reserveer je een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Mocht je graag voor dit evenement en andere evenementen via balfolk.nl niet steeds al je gegevens willen invoeren, hebben we onderaan op onze lespagina informatie over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\nPrijzen\n\n\n \tBal\n\n \tNormaaltarief €20,-\n \tFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen.)\n \tKortingstarief €14,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt.)\n\n\n \tBal + workshop\n\n \tNormaaltarief €30,-\n \tFair-Trade tarief €35,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen.)\n \tKortingstarief €24,-\n\n\n \tWorkshop\n\n \tNormaaltarief €23,-\n \tFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen.)\n \tKortingstarief €19,-\n\n\n\nJe betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je meer willen betalen dan de fair-trade om de artiesten en ons te sponsoren, alle hulp is welkom. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\n\nLet op! Mocht je reserveren, maar niet komen opdagen, dan moet je een boete van €5,- betalen voor de volgende keer dat je komt. Als je boete van de vorige keer nog moet betalen, dan kan dat gelijk aan de kassa.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nEten en Drinken\nEr is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.\n\nNeem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, 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.\n\n\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bal1/","https://www.facebook.com/events/551842603042349/"],"start":"2022-05-22T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-05-22T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Emelie Waldken","Les Bottines Artistiques","Wouter Kuyper"],"price":"€14-€25","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dublin","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/3097149127169384/3097149133836050/"],"start":"2022-05-22T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-05-22T19:00:00+01:00","country":"Ireland","city":"Dublin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dublin","source":"events/ireland/balfolk_dublin.yaml"},{"name":"Holderness Folk Band in Wawne","links":["https://www.areyoudancing.com/dance-event/603874/"],"start_date":"2022-05-23","end_date":"2022-05-23","country":"UK","city":"Wawne","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Holderness Folk Band"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Utrecht — Polska variations","details":"Balfolk Utrecht presenteert\nPolska variations across the Scandinavian peninsula a dance workshop with Emelie Waldken\n\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nThe polska turn is quite a difficult beast to tame. This has left many dancers believing they can't dance polska at all. Some people might also find the dance it a bit boring once the basic turn is mastered. Yet the polska is much more than this famous turn, with various figures giving a wide range of possible movements and creativity. We will get into variations of different regions, notably springlek and Värmland figures, and even look at several Norwegian pols variants, even spying a few tricks from the various springar promenades and turns. The not-enough known yet great bakmes figure might be, if desired, the star of the show.\n\nNote : We will NOT work on the polska turn in this workshop (but on everything else).\n\n\nNiveau\nYou are a dancer with a solid experience of various folk dances, not necessarily Scandinavian, and no need for previous polska experience (but you'll learn new things even if you can dance the basic polska perfectly already).\n\n\nOver de Docent\nEmelie Waldken has fallen hard for Scandinavian folk music and dances upon discovery and nowadays calls Sweden home. Throughout the years, she has taught various Nordic dances accross Europe, from very well-known schottis and polska to obscure menuett and, of course, halling. She tends to fill her workshops with unexpected metaphors and will often grab her fiddle to provide live music to her exercises. For more information about Emelie Waldken, see https://www.facebook.com/emeliewaldken\n\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden?

Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting.

Grinsven\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\nBalfolk dansen doe je niet alleen, maar samen! In een koppel, in een kleine groep of met een grote groep dansers. Je danspartner is een van de sleutelelementen in balfolk, vandaar dat het ook belangrijk is om te weten wat allemaal invloed heeft op je connectie met je danspartner. Zo kan je eigen lichaamsspanning kan invloed hebben op het leiden of geleid worden. De manier waarop je je voeten gebruikt, de verbinding met de vloer, heeft invloed op je balans en daarmee ook op je danspartner. Je gevoel bij de muziek, hoe goed je de maat hoort en hoe expressief je bent hebben ook allemaal invloed op hoe je leidt of geleid wordt.\n\nIn deze workshop gaan we op onderzoek uit en leren we op welke manier we leiden en volgen. We gaan aan de slag met welke elementen je kunt inzetten om betere connectie te maken met je danspartner en wat er voor nodig is om te volgen. We werken vanuit verschillende achtergronden (balfolk, balroom/latin en hedendaagse dans), om zo kennis te maken met een breed scala aan tools die onze partnering verbeteren.\n\n\nNiveau\nDansers moeten kennis hebben van de mazurka, wals, scottish, cercle. Het is een \"Dansstage niveau 2b-3\" workshop.\n\n\nOver de Docent\nSophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de wereld hedendaagse en improvisatie dansen. Ze heeft veel ervaring met niet alleen hedendaagse dans doceren, maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contactimprovisatie en mime. Ze zet haar uitgebreide achtergrond in om cursisten van alle leeftijden de vele wegen naar Rome te tonen. Met focus op zowel technische waarden als artistieke vrijheid en uitdrukken hoopt ze dansers op te leiden tot breed onderlegde artiesten met het gereedschap om hun eigen stijl te creëren in de dans. Sophie leidt verschillende (improvisatie) dans projecten en streeft ernaar om iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven zich te leren uitdrukken met hun eigen krachten.\n\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname van één workshop per avond zijn:\nNormaaltarief €23,-\nFair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\n\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 workshops 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 workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\n(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)\n\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar utrecht@balfolk.nl met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak.

Een toffe dans waarbij je elkaar niet aanraakt en tegenover elkaar danst, de structuur naar elkaar en terug en dan oversteken zullen de meesten van jullie wel kennen. Maar de groove die in de pas zit, die is wat moeilijker om zo op een bal op te pikken. Voor mij is de bourree een heel geaarde dans, die door het voetenwerk heel speels wordt. En vervolgens is er heel veel ruimte voor spelen en improviseren. Er is niet echt 1 leider en 1 volger, je kan allebei inititatief nemen, en je reageert allebei op elkaar. Dat maakt het heel erg samen, op een heel andere manier dan de meeste koppeldansen die we kennen uit balfolk.\n\nMijn dansleerlingen uit Nijmegen wilden graag de bourree leren voor de zomer, maar die behandel ik liever uitgebreid in de vervolgcursus (die na de zomer weer begint). Dus heb ik een moment gevonden om een losse bourree workshop te geven. En daarin zijn ook een paar plekjes voor dansers die geen wekelijkse lessen bij me volgen. De workshop is heel geschikt voor mensen die nog geen ervaring hebben met de bourree, maar juist ook de mensen die al langer de bourree op bals of festivals dansen, maar die ‘m niet eerder echt geleerd hebben, zullen veel van deze workshop op kunnen steken,\n\nIn de workshop gaan we vooral aan de slag met de basispas, om die lekkere groove erin te krijgen. En vervolgens gaan we ook kijken hoe we kunnen spelen met z’n tweeën, en mogelijk ook een beetje met z’n 4-en.\n\nTijd: Maandat 6 juni van 19:00 tot 22:00\nLocatie: De Kleine Wiel, Karl Marxstraat 101, Nijmegen-Lent\nKosten: 30 euro normaal tarief, 25 euro kortingstarief\nAanmelden: stuur een mail naar louise@balfolk.nl","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-basis-bourree-de-berry-2t/"],"start":"2022-06-06T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-06T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Cours de danse hebdomadaire","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1027641904697814/1027641921364479/"],"start":"2022-06-06T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-06T21:00:00+02:00","country":"France","city":"Paris","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€12","organisation":"Paris Bal Folk","source":"events/france/paris_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Cours de Danse Folk","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours-classes/folktrad-renipont/","https://www.facebook.com/events/659664758579473","https://folkbalbende.be/event/936"],"start":"2022-06-07T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-07T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Vyšehrad","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/336318988424491/336319001757823/"],"start":"2022-06-07T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-07T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 7","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/894","https://www.facebook.com/events/3155769291308552"],"start":"2022-06-07T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-07T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Wilderness balfolk lesson","details":"Waltz and Laridé","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/413569353997077/"],"start":"2022-06-07T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-06-07T20:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"£8","organisation":"London Folk Wilderness","source":"events/uk/folk_wilderness.yaml"},{"name":"Wimbledon Reels","links":["https://www.wimbledonreels.com/dates/social-dancing-86"],"start":"2022-06-07T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-06-07T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["reeling"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Wimbledon Reels","source":"events/uk/wimbledon_reels.yaml"},{"name":"Edinburgh Ceilidh Club","links":["https://edinburghceilidhclub.com/events/?event_id1=642"],"start":"2022-06-07T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-06-07T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Edinburgh","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Wullie Scott ceilidh band"],"price":"£10","organisation":"Edinburgh Ceilidh Club","source":"events/uk/edinburgh_ceilidh_club.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1000"],"start":"2022-06-08T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-08T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Emmarilin"],"price":"€10-€12","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Boeuf Folk Au CBO","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1039"],"start":"2022-06-08T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-08T23:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal Wilhelmina","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/folkbal-wilhelmina-18/"],"start":"2022-06-08T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-09T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Eindhoven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Kelten zonder Grenzen"],"price":"€8","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events"],"start_date":"2022-06-09","end_date":"2022-06-09","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-2.50","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Socialles 233 — Tovercirkels en hun variaties","details":"Deze donderdag 9 juni is het socialles 233. Het thema deze week is Tovercirkels en hun ontelbare variaties. Hoewel deze dans vaak beschouwd wordt als 'basisdans' is ook hier heel veel mogelijk qua variaties, connecties en samen dansen in de groep. We gaan gezamenlijk aan de slag met deze dans onder begeleiding van René.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 cd-muziek. 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nLocatie\nWe zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten en drinken in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.\n\nDansen en corona\nDe coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-233-tovercirkels-en-hun-variaties/"],"start":"2022-06-09T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-09T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Topette

We gaan deze week aan het werk met tillen en lifts in dans, zoals bijvoorbeeld in de polka. Daarnaast - aangezien een uur lang tillen best een uitdaging kan zijn - komen ook twee dansen aan bod: de tarantella en de miserlou.\nWe gaan gezamenlijk aan de slag met deze dans onder begeleiding van Wim en Leora.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nLocatie\nWe zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten en drinken in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.\n\nDansen en corona\nDe coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-234-rotterdam-tillen-en-lifts-en-tarantella-en-miserlou/"],"start":"2022-06-16T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-16T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab with Duo Roblin-Thebaut","details":"[caption id=\"attachment_5144\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"577\"] Duo Roblin-Thebaut[/caption]\n\nAs usual bandmates in Le Gros Trio over the last decade, Benoit and Lucas are delighted to have you for a dance or two !\nEnjoy the vibe with a variety of finest french traditionnal and BalFolk repertoire : Centre-France, Berry, Poitou and of course couple dancings alongside with a few surprises.

Met behulp van een aantal oefeningen gaan we kijken hoeveel we echt luisteren. Graag verzoeken we mensen om indien mogelijk een mobiele telefoon mee te nemen met camera functionaliteit we gaan namelijk ook wat dingen filmen (al deze opnames zullen aan het eind van de workshop worden verwijderd tenzij alle betrokken partijen het er mee eens zijn dat deze bewaard mogen worden). We verwachten ook dat deelnemers minimaal een scottish kunnen dansen (hiermee bedoelen we dat je niet meer hoeft na te denken over de stappen van de dans zelf terwijl je de dans doet) als zowel een

presenteert\nDansbeleving met Sophie van Grinsven\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\nWorkshopbeschrijving\n\"Die ene wals van die ene band met die ene danser; dat was echt geweldig!!\", dansbeleving is de ervaring die we hebben tijdens het dansen in een zo breed mogelijke zin. Hoe je de muziek ervaart, welke verbinding je met je danspartner hebt, de flow van de dans zelf en hoe alles samenkomt, dit bepaald wat je dansbeleving is. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als we daar invloed op konden uitoefenen? Nou, dat kunnen we dus, en in deze workshop reik ik je de tools aan om ieder dansje tot een feestje te maken!\n\nWe gaan aan de slag met muziekinterpretatie, het aanvoelen van muziek en hoe je daar mee omgaat. We gaan ook werken met de karakteristieken van de verschillende (basis) balfolk dansen, wat maakt de wals een wals, waarom is een polka anders terwijl het ook 3 passen zijn? Ook gaan onderzoeken welke elementen voor jou als danser het meeste invloed hebben op je dansbeleving, is dat de muziek? Je danspartner? De ruimte? Je eigen mentale ruimte? Iets anders?\n\n\nNiveau\nDansers moeten in ieder geval de mazurka, wals, scottisch en polka beheersen. Beheersing van de onregelmatige wals is sterk aanbevolen. Het is een “Dansstage niveau 3-4” workshop.\n\n\nOver de Docent\nSophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de wereld hedendaagse en improvisatie dansen. Ze heeft veel ervaring met niet alleen hedendaagse dans doceren, maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contactimprovisatie en mime. Ze zet haar uitgebreide achtergrond in om cursisten van alle leeftijden de vele wegen naar Rome te tonen. Met focus op zowel technische waarden als artistieke vrijheid en uitdrukken hoopt ze dansers op te leiden tot breed onderlegde artiesten met het gereedschap om hun eigen stijl te creëren in de dans. Sophie leidt verschillende (improvisatie) dans projecten en streeft ernaar om iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven zich te leren uitdrukken met hun eigen krachten.\n\n\nLestijden\nElke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\n\n\nLocatie & Deurbeleid\nDe lessen en workshops vinden 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\nDe deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.\n\nBen je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).\n\n\nPrijzen en Aanmelden\nDe kosten voor deelname aan deze minireeks is:\nNormaaltarief €46,-\nFair-Trade tarief €50,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)\nKortingstarief €38,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).\n\nJe betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nBalfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart\nDit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.\n\n\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 workshops 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 workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\n(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)\n\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar utrecht@balfolk.nl met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

auvergnate","details":"Deze donderdag 23 juni is socialles 235 in Rotterdam. De docent deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de Bourrée Auvergnate (de 'bourrée in drie'), verder op de basis en eventueel een vervolg.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nLocatie\nWe zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten en drinken in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

Docent deze week is Rick. Deze week gaan we aan de slag met onder andere de rondeau en chaîne, kost-ar-choad, plinn en nog meer andere snelle-pasjes-dansjes.\n\nProgramma\nHet programma:\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nLocatie\nWe zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken.\nEten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-236-rotterdam-rondeau-en-andere-snelle-pasjes-dansjes/"],"start":"2022-06-30T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-30T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 1","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/891"],"start":"2022-06-30T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-06-30T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"The Hosepipe Band in Ipswich","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/358697976375907/"],"start_date":"2022-07-01","end_date":"2022-07-01","country":"UK","city":"Ipswich","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["The Hosepipe Band"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Mitchell and Vincent in Taunton","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/5561973367192709"],"start_date":"2022-07-01","end_date":"2022-07-01","country":"UK","city":"Taunton","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Mitchell and Vincent"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Free Folk Ball And Dance Initiation","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/civicrm/event/info%3Fid%3D724%26reset%3D1","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1056"],"start":"2022-07-01T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-07-01T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aérokorda","Snaarmaarwaar"],"price":"free","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Jolieke's Bal","details":"Jolieke&#039;s Bal met Wim te Groen en Hilde van Belle, Ter gelegenheid van mijn 25ste verjaardag organiseer ik mijn eerste bal.

Beide zowel solo als in duo zullen spelen.\n\nDe locatie ligt op 15 minuten lopen vanaf station Geleen-Lutterade. Er gaat ook een bus vanaf station Sittard die je voor de deur afzet; bus 38 halte Bloemenmarkt. Kom je met de auto? Dan is er schuin tegenover ’t Volkshoes een grote parkeerplaats waar je kunt parkeren.\n\nTijdens het bal zullen we rondgaan met de hoed voor een vrije bijdrage, onze suggestie is 15 euro.

previous ball sold out quite early. You can book via Google Forms: https://forms.gle/16qNSmuvB6KHAozC7.\n\nDo you remember the good old days when there were balls in the Moira? Where we did cozy dances to good music with nice people. We have good news! We are back after a number of long years with two balls this fall and with no less than 3 great bands! And, if you've never danced at the Moira, now is the perfect time to build great memories.\n\nThere is a workshop before the ball, the teacher and subject we will announce later.\n\n\nProgramm\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – End of Workshop\n15:30 – Walk-in for the ball\n16:00 – Geronim0\n17:30 – Potluck\n18:45 – Viorel\n20:15 – Short break\n20:30 – Snaarmaarwaar\n22:00 – End of the ball and Session.\n\n\nBands\nWe have no less than three following bands for you at this ball:\n\nGeronimo .\n\nViorel .\n\nSnaarmaarwaar . You can read more about them by clicking on their names, or you can listen to them below. Special thanks to Frisse Folk for the recording.\nhttps://youtu.be/DDWK6zvgF0s\n\n\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.\n\n\nReservation, Prices and Conditions\nYou reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see Google Forms: https://forms.gle/16qNSmuvB6KHAozC7.\n\nNB! You pay cash  at the door which rate you want to pay. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you want to pay more than the fair-trade to sponsor the artists and us, all help is welcome. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\n\n\nFood and Drinks\nThere's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.\n\nBring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\n\n\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bal2/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bal2workshop/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1201104267324836/"],"start":"2022-07-03T12:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-07-03T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Geronimo","Viorel","Snaarmaarwaar"],"price":"€14-€40","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Week-end

Ceilidh","details":"Deze donderdag 7 juli is het socialles 237. Deze laatste socialles in het seizoen draait het om samen dansen en plezier maken. Deze keer met net even iets andere dansen dan we gewend zijn: we maken een uitstapje naar de Ceilidh-dansen uit voornamelijk Schotland, onder begeleiding van René. \n\nLet op: dit is de laatste socialles van het seizoen 2021-2022, er is hierna zomerstop tot begin september.\n\nProgramma\n\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n22.00: 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 cd-muziek. 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 16.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee\n\nLocatie\nWe zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten en drinken in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak.

het seizoen openen.\n\nPFM!\nDe band die voor ons komt spelen is PFM! Trio PFM! is een Nederlandse balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan. Naast vragen over de Space Shuttle, Stoppenkasten en de Wet van Archimedes kun je bij hen terecht voor onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle's, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's en een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven. Hun formule bestaat uit voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. De band bestaat uit: Maurits van Heijningen: lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek en viool Pieter Tijssen: elektrotechniek, gitaar en diatonische accordeon Frans Stuurman: natuurkunde en klarinet.\n\nProgramma\n17.00 – 18.00: Picknick\n18.00 – 19.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00 – 20.30: Bal!\n20.30 – 22.30: Sessie\n\nSessie\nOok deze keer is er, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent in Rotterdam, weer genoeg ruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee! Uiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nDe picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf geregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat wordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor kannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee naar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en bestek zijn niet per se nodig.\n\nPrijs\nDe toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon. Dit 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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/seizoensopening-balfolk-zuid-holland-met-pfm/"],"start":"2022-09-03T17:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-03T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["PFM!"],"price":"€10","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Potupajka urodzinowa","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1747981782222926/"],"start":"2022-09-03T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-03T23:45:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Wrocław","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Wrocławskie Potupajki Bal Folkowe","source":"events/poland/wroclaw.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk workshop: Beweging & Variatie","details":"Balfolk workshop: Beweging & Variatie, Deze workshop is geschikt voor mensen die comfortabel de Hanterdro, Scottish, Jig, Mazurka en Tovercirkel kunnen leiden of volgen.\n\nWat gaan we leren?\nHeb je een aantal bals bezocht, maar heb je het gevoel dat er meer is?

Er wordt lesgegeven in twee groepen.\n\nJe kan je hier aanmelden.\n\nBij Balfolk is het wisselen tussen danspartners gebruikelijk. Daarom hoef je je niet aan te melden met een danspartner.\n\n\n\n\n\nGroep 1: Getting into Balfolk\n\nIn deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.\n\nDeze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey\n\nIn deze groep gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.\n\nHet doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.\n\nVoor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.\n\nData\n\nVan 6 september tot en met 31 januari is er wekelijks les op dinsdagavond, met uitzondering van de vakanties.\n\n\n\n\n\nZaal open: 19.00\nGroep 1: 19.15 – 20.30\nGroep 2: 20.45 – 22.00\n\nKosten\n\nVoor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.\n\nDe kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €195,- voor 18 lessen. Wil je beide groepen volgen? Neem contact op om te kijken of dit bij je past. Korting voor het volgen van beide groepen is in overleg mogelijk.\n\n\nBereikbaarheid\n\nOnze locatie is bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer en de auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein van de sporthal.\n\n\nCorona\n\nMocht corona een opleving krijgen, houden wij ons aan de overheidsmaatregelen en het protocol van Dansondernemers Nederland.

We beginnen vanuit de kleinste elementen van folk (ritme, lichaamshouding, muziek) en kijken op deze manier met een nieuw perspectief naar bekende dansen.\n\nDe reeks is toegankelijk voor mensen die al wat balfolk-ervaring hebben en bereid zijn met een scherpe blik naar hun eigen dans te kijken. De lesreeks wordt aangepast op het niveau van de dansers, dus bij elke aanmelding vragen we je om iets te vertellen over je ervaring. Je moet in ieder geval de volgende dansen kunnen doen zonder over de passen na te denken:\n\n \tScottish\n \tWals\n \tJig/Chapelloise\n \tTovercirkel/Cercle Circassien\n \tAn Dro\n \tOptioneel: Polka en Mazurka\n\nAls je al veel andere danservaring hebt en dansen snel oppikt kun je contact opnemen met Robin via balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.\n\nHoe ziet de lesreeks eruit?\nIn de lessen gaan we praktisch aan de slag met lichaamshouding en -bewustzijn en muzikaliteit. Na de eerste les bouwen we op door onze bewegingshorizon te verbreden: van in je eentje bewegen, naar bewegen met de groep, naar bewegen in een half gesloten koppeldanshouding. We herhalen de basis van een deel van het vaste dansrepertoir met een nieuwe kijk op de passen en beweging.\n\nHet tempo zal vrij hoog liggen, en tussen de lessen door vraag ik je ook om een paar uur te besteden aan het luisteren en analyseren van muziek, het oefenen van lichaamsbewustzijn, en af en toe geef ik ook wat leeswerk mee. Dit laatste zal vooral in het Engels zijn, maar hierbij kun je elkaar helpen of mij een berichtje sturen. Houd rekening met deze tijdsinvestering als je je inschrijft! Als je twijfelt over deelname kun je me altijd mailen.\n\nOver de docenten\nRobin van den Brule danst al meer dan tien jaar balfolk en dook daarbij steeds dieper in de Franse dansen en muziek. Daarnaast volgde ze een semester full time danslessen bij de folkdansopleiding van het Eric Sahlströminstitut in Zweden. Hier ontdekte ze de fundamenten van Zweedse dans en muziek, die daarna haar eigen dansstijl en overtuigingen sterk beïnvloedden. Voor Robin komt de muziek op plek één; hieruit komt de impuls tot beweging en daarmee ook de dansstijl en mogelijke variaties. Ze heeft een liefde voor stevige traditionele muziek met veel verticaliteit, maar zoekt daarbij ook altijd naar connectie en speelsheid.\n\nTer ondersteuning helpt Maya van der Loos bij de danslessen. Haar opleiding in oefentherapie komt goed van pas bij het reflecteren op houding en gezond bewegen.\n\nInschrijven: Praktisch\nIk vraag iedereen die mee wil doen om een kort stukje over zichzelf en hun danservaring te schrijven om een beter idee te krijgen van de groep. De groep is beperkt tot 14 deelnemers. Als je niet alle data kunt, of ergens over twijfelt, geef dit dan ook aan. Inschrijving geeft niet meteen toegang tot de cursus (mocht de groep niet passen komt er een tweede reeks in december). Je krijgt binnen een week na verzending van je inschrijfformulier reactie.\n\nPrijzen:\nBasistarief: 110 euro\nFair trade: 130 euro\nKortingstarief: 90 euro\n\nData:\nElke maandag van 12 September tot en met 3 Oktober\n19.15-21.45 @ Moira Zaal, Utrecht (Wolvenplein 10, blauwe deur).\n\nDe lessen zijn wat prijziger dan gemiddelde danslessen. Hiervoor krijg je wel extra oefeningen, muziekplaylists, en achtergrondinformatie. Als je heel graag mee wil doen maar dit financieel lastig is, mail dan naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com of robinelisacarine@gmail.com (alleen als privé erg belangrijk is).\n\nInschrijven: https://forms.gle/DenTG5aC4x3Meq1o6","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/fundamenten-franse-folk/"],"start":"2022-09-12T19:15:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-12T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"NederDans: Group Dances In Dutch","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/civicrm/event/info?id=725","https://www.facebook.com/events/1130775464320769/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1140"],"start":"2022-09-12T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-12T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 1","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1082"],"start":"2022-09-13T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-13T19:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Hof 3-Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/8158390154200906/"],"start":"2022-09-13T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-13T22:55:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Michaela Perkic","source":"events/austria/vienna-michaela.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Vyšehrad","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/336318988424491/336319055091151/"],"start":"2022-09-13T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 8","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1083"],"start":"2022-09-13T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-13T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Workshop Levels 4-8","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1099"],"start":"2022-09-13T21:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-13T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dance by the light of the silvery moon","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1235837870545049/"],"start":"2022-09-13T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-09-13T22:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":null,"source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 6","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1085"],"start":"2022-09-14T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-14T20:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkdansles Limburg (beginners)","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1162"],"start":"2022-09-14T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-14T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Diepenbeek","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€60","organisation":"Folk In Limburg","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 1","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1084"],"start":"2022-09-14T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-14T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 3","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1087"],"start":"2022-09-15T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-15T20:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab with Loogaroo","details":"Loogaroo\n\nLoogaroo is a balfolk duo with Pablo Golder (diatonic accordion) and Florian De Schepper (acoustic guitar).

Wie nog steeds twijfelt, heeft Tref nog nooit live aan het werk gezien. Tref is Vlaanderen en Wallonië verenigd, zoals het hoort, met Wim Claeys en Didier Laloy, twee ervaren trekzakspelers op hun diatonische accordeon. Voor Tref vormen ze een kwartet met hun oude leraar, Bruno Le Tron en de Franse Frédéric Malempré op worldpercussion.\n\nSamen gaan ze op het ritme van traditionele West-Europese folk langs een waaier aan moderne muziekgenres. Rock, jazz en zelfs klassiek komen in hun zelf gecomponeerde nummers aan bod. Het resultaat is een unieke mix van meeslepende etnische grooves, gebracht met veel ziel en goesting.\n\n \nLes Zéoles\nEen duo met minutieuze en piepkleine melodietjes...\nLes Zéoles is een duo gevormd door Amélie Denarié op de diatonische accordeon en Anne Guinot  op de chromatische accordeon.\n\nDe twee muzikanten ontmoetten elkaar in 2002 in Montpellier en richtten Guilis ô Vent op, een kwintet van neo-traditionele muziek, waarvan ze het repertoire samen componeerden. De wens om samen te spelen en hun muzikale samenwerking verder te brengen bracht ze naar het duo in 2008. Bitterzoete composities, speelse en lyrische melodieën met arrangementen geïnspireerd op traditionele Franse en Europese muziek, maar ook klassiek. Het bal staat altijd centraal in hun werk, maar door hun respectievelijke opleiding tot klassiek pianist bieden ze ook een concertformule, altijd met dezelfde liefde voor onderzoek, van de juiste toon, degene die vlinders in de buik geeft en die we houden het warm als we het eenmaal hebben gevonden.\n\n \nPFM!\nDe formule waar muziek in zit!\nMaurits van Heijningen: lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek en viool\nPieter Tijssen: elektrotechniek, gitaar en diatonische accordeon\nFrans Stuurman: natuurkunde en klarinet\n\nTrio PFM is een balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 is ontstaan. Naast vragen over de Space Shuttle, Stoppenkasten en de Wet van Archimedes kun je bij hun terecht voor o.a. rechttoe-rechtaan cercle's, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's en een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven. Onze formule bestaat uit voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Geheime ingredienten uit de hele wereld.

Amsterdam.\n\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?\nLesdata\nDeze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.\n\nReguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 28 september t/m 30 november. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 7 december.\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, gezamenlijk voor Groep 1 en Groep 2\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.\nOpgeven en kosten:\nDe proefles kost € 5,- je mag voor dit bedrag de hele avond aanwezig zijn en met alle groepen meedoen. Je kan hier alvast reserveren, maar als je op het allerlaatst besluit betaal je gewoon aan de deur. Kom!\nNa de proefles kan je je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op bafolkamsterdam.nl\nGa je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\n\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/5609/"],"start":"2022-09-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-21T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://balhalla.be/nl","https://www.facebook.com/Balhallafolk","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1160","https://www.facebook.com/events/415006357174809?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%7D]%7D"],"start":"2022-09-22T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-22T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Clercx","Tandem"],"organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Spring Equinox Folk Ball and Festival","details":"Includes free Josephine Mini Bal and Mazurkas at Maggies.","links":["https://events.humanitix.com/spring-equinox-folk-ball-and-festival","https://www.facebook.com/events/572588844656331/","https://www.facebook.com/balfolkaotearoa/posts/pfbid02HopfVGi2EN8iGrou8MCjmLYxHdBd2Y8brVq7HGZT1QbjpW8zqNe9EuYjozPs34ufl","https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2022/josephine-mini-bal/dunedin"],"start":"2022-09-23T19:30:00+12:00","end":"2022-09-25T16:00:00+12:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk","scandi","contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Folkalyptica","Maplewood","Anna Bowen & Alan McCulloch","Catgut and Steel"],"price":"$30-$90","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Skeer","details":"Met veel plezier wordt je uitgenodigd voor Skeer!\nEen warm, portemonneevriendelijk, co-creatief internationaal (folk) muziek- en dansweekend.\nEen weekend vol opzwepende muziek, zwierende dansjes, tedere dwaasheid, verbinding en plezier.\nVoor wie?

Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?\nLesdata\nDeze serie bestaat uit een proefles op 21 september, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.\n\nReguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 28 september t/m 30 november. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 7 december.\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, gezamenlijk voor Groep 1 en Groep 2\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.\nOpgeven en kosten:\nJe kunt je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op bafolkamsterdam.nl\nGa je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\n\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/lessen-balfolk-amsterdam-najaar-2022/"],"start":"2022-09-28T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-28T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk café Nijmegen","details":"Balfolk Cafe is livemuziek, tussendoor fijne balfolkhitjes en natuurlijk sessie: dus neem ook je instrumenten mee!\n\n\nEntree: vrijwillige donatie.\nGeef ruim, alles gaat 100% naar de muzikanten.\n\n19:30 dans uitleg\n20:30 Livemuziek (2 sets)\n22:00 Sessie!\n(Tijden onder voorbehoud) Tussendoor draaien we natuurlijk fijne balfolk hitjes, dus de hele avond kan er gedanst worden","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-cafe-nijmegen-11/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1022850858584384/"],"start":"2022-09-28T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-28T23:59:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wouter en de Draak"],"price":"€10","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1201"],"start":"2022-09-28T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-28T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gooik","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Geert En Oswald"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Interactive Folkdance Workshop","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1149","https://www.facebook.com/events/748978696393029"],"start":"2022-09-28T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-09-29T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Étoile","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/3434545240106593/","https://londonbalfolk.org.uk/"],"start":"2022-09-28T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-09-28T23:45:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"London Balfolk","source":"events/uk/london_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Solent Contra Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/779589829784146/"],"start":"2022-09-28T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-09-28T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bishops Waltham","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Solent Contra Dances","source":"events/uk/solent_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Duo Pastis","details":"18:30 Uhr – Crashkurs Balfolk-Tänze für Einsteiger*innen (keine live-Musik)\n19:30 Uhr – Bal\nEintritt (Workshop inkl.): 17 Euro, ermäßigt 10 Euro, Soliticket 22 Euro (Abendkasse)\n\n\nCopyright: Duo Pastis\nDie beiden italienischen Musiker Fabio Colussi und Pierpaolo Berta spielen seit 2011 als Duo Pastis Neotrad und Balfolk.  In ihren kreativen Kompositionen und Arrangements ergänzen sich die rhytmische Gitarre und der melodiöse Klang des diatonischen Akkordeons wunderbar.

Een internationaal bal deze keer met topmuzikant Jeroen Laureyssens uit België en een bijzonder trio uit Zweden. Ook deze keer weer een dansworkshop vooraf, gericht op onder andere de Slängpolska en diverse andere Zweedse dansen. Kijk hier voor alle informatie over de workshop.\n\nJeroen Laureyssens is een multi-getalenteerde Belgische diatonische accordeon speler. Hij speelde al op zesjarige leeftijd muziek en komt uit een muzikale familie. Musiceren, bijzondere composities maken en improvisatie zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van zijn muzikale leven. Hij speelt onder andere in Les Frères d’Eeckère, Duo Brabants-Laureyssens, Cosmo en The Quest.\n\nHet Trio Västanvinden (ook wel ‘De Westenwind) speelt groovy trad muziek uit Zweden en andere Noordse landen. De ongebruikelijke mix van instrumenten, namelijk harmonica, klarinet en citer, geeft het trio een uniek, eigen geluid en doet een frisse wind waaien door de traditionele tunes. De sterke connectie tussen traditionele muzike en dans is fundamenteel voor de muzikale benadering van het trio en ze spelen daarom graag live voor dansers. De groep is opgericht aan het Royal College of Music in Stokcholm, waar de leden alledrie hebben gestudeerd. Hun debuutalbum is in oktober 2021 gepresenteerd. \n\nDansworkshop\nVoorafgaand aan het bal zal er ook een dansworkshop zijn, gegeven door Västanvinden zelf. De informatie over deze workshop vind je hier.\n\n\nHet programma voor het bal\n17.00: Picknick\n18.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00: Bal!\n23.00: Einde\n\nDansuitleg\nDe dansuitleg is bedoeld om weer even in te komen voor als je al een poosje niet gedanst hebt, of als je de eerste pasjes alvast onder de knie wil krijgen. Iedereen is uiteraard welkom om mee te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nEr staat ook een picknick gepland. Breng daarvoor voor jezelf (en één of twee anderen) wat lekkers te eten mee, wat op één grote tafel wordt verzameld, zodat we met z’n allen een heerlijke maaltijd zullen hebben. Het is handig om eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen, dat is niet aanwezig op de locatie zelf.\n\nLocatie\nHet is de tweede keer dat we een bal geven in het Maaspodium in Rotterdam. Deze locatie vind je aan de Sint-Jobsweg 3 in Rotterdam. Er is een mooie danszaal en een gezellige bar en foyer waar behalve dansen ook wat bijgekomen en gekletst kan worden. Metrostation Coolhaven is op een kleine 10-15 minuten lopen afstand, er stopt ook een tram vlakbij. Op zondag is voor zover bekend straatparkeren gratis. Er is ook een parkeergarage vlakbij. Gebruik je eigen favoriete routeplanner om je route te bepalen. Meer informatie is te vinden op de website van het Maaspodium. \n\nToegang\nTickets kosten voor dit bal 25 euro per persoon. Reserveren is fijn, zowel voor jezelf als voor ons, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het gaat

Bal met &#039;Broes&#039; en &#039;Duo de Schepper Sanczuk&#039;, \n\n** English below ** \n\n\n\nJe kunt reserveren via Google Forms, zie hier.\nWe trappen dit seizoen af met warme zuiderse en mysterieuze oosterse vibes! Niemand minder dan Duo de Schepper-Sanczuk en het quintet Broes komen om ons mee te nemen op reis langs de Middelandse Zee van Portugal helemaal naar de Balkan.\n\nEr is een workshop voor het bal, die we nog gaan aankondigen. Het is mogelijk om via de Google Forms achteraf aan te melden voor de workshop onder hetzelfde emailadres, zelfs nadat je voor het bal hebt aangemeld.\n\n\nProgramma\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – Einde Workshop\n15:30 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:00 – Broes\n18:00 – Potluck\n19:00 – Duo de Schepper Sanczuk\n21:30 – Eind bal en Sessie tijdens het opruimen\n\n\nBands\nJe kunt hieronder naar de bands luisteren. Met dank aan Frisse Folk voor de opname van Broes.\nhttps://youtu.be/xEMyKVu9S5M\nhttps://youtu.be/n-EBTqAuPTY\n\n\nReserveren, Prijzen en Voorwaarden\nJe reserveert een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.\n\nLet op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nEten en Drinken\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.\n\nNeem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, 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.\n\n\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.\n\n\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\n\n\n\nYou can book via Google Forms, see here.\nWe kick off the season with warme southern and mysterious eastern vibes! No less than Duo de Schepper-Sanczuk and the quintet Broes will take us on a journey along the Mediterranean Sea from Portugal all the way to the Balkan.\n\nThere is a workshop, which we will be announcing later. It is possible to reserve a spot for the workshop afterwards via the Google Forms under the same email address, even after you have reserved for the ball.\n\n\nProgramm\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – End of Workshop\n15:30 – Walk-in for the ball\n16:00 – Broes\n18:00 – Potluck\n19:00 – Duo de Schepper Sanczuk\n21:30 – End of the ball and Session.\n\n\nBands\nYou can listen to them below. Special thanks to Frisse Folk for the recording of Broes.\nhttps://youtu.be/xEMyKVu9S5M\nhttps://youtu.be/n-EBTqAuPTY\n\n\nReservation, Prices and Conditions\nYou reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.\n\nNB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\n\n\nFood and Drinks\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.\n\nBring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\n\n\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.

Schaeffer\nWochenend-Tanzworkshop von Elena Leibbrand (BE)\n \nFranzösische Tänze aus der Gascogne: Branle d’Ossau und Rondeau\nSamstag 15.10.2022              11:00 – 16:30 Uhr\nSonntag 16.10.2022               10:00 – 13:30 Uhr\nPreis für den 2-Tages-Workshop: 31 € regulär / 20€ ermäßigt\n \nIn diesem Workshop beschäftigen wir uns mit zwei sehr beliebten Tänzen aus der Gascogne (Südwest-Frankreich):\nDer Branle d’Osseau sieht zunächst aus wie ein extrem einfacher Kettentanz … bis man ihn ausprobiert. Wie viele von uns haben sich schon in den Tanz eingeklinkt und sind nach ein paar Takten ganz verstört wieder aus dem Tanz ausgestiegen!\nIn diesem Workshop werden wir diesen besonderen Tanz Schritt für Schritt lernen und auch die eine oder andere Variation entdecken. Aber hauptsächlich möchte Elena euch das ganz einzigartige Gefühl vermitteln, das aufkommt, wenn alle zu herzzerreißend schöner Musik in der Kette im Gleichschritt schwingen.\nZur Abwechslung und Auflockerung werden wir den Paar-Rondeau (Rondeau en couple) üben und dabei unseren Grundschritt, Körperhaltung und Stil ein bisschen „aufputzen“. Wir nehmen auch die richtige Bewegung aller Tanzenden im Raum, damit alle Tanzpaare in einem schönen „Flow“ bleiben und werden schließlich typische und schöne Variationen einbauen.\nTanzniveau: Der Kurs ist eher für Tänzer*innen mit Erfahrung geeignet, aber auch für sehr motivierte Anfänger*innen, die den Branle d’Ossau zum ersten Mal entdecken möchten. Der Vorteil an diesen Tänzen ist, dass jede*r seinem/ihrem eigenen Lernrhythmus folgen kann.\nZur Tanzmeisterin: Elena Leibbrand begann 2011 mit großer Begeisterung in Brüssel BalFolk-Tänze weiterzugeben. Im Mai 2018 gründete sie ihre eigene Tanzschule EléDanse und bietet seitdem Kurse, Workshops, Bälle und Veranstaltungen aller Art an. Sie hat eine große Liebe zu Bourrées, Walzern und Tänzen aus dem im Südwesten Frankreichs und sie liebt den Ball, ob Fin-de-Siècle, Folk oder Musette. Elena bringt mit viel Können und Humor den Tanzenden die traditionellen Tänze nahe und reißt alle mit.","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/workshopelena"],"start":"2022-10-15T11:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-16T15:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€31","organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Dance concert e stage con gli Auka","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/748380963017662/"],"start":"2022-10-15T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-16T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Naples","styles":["balfolk","italian"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Auka"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"Neapolis Balfolk","source":"events/italy/naples.yaml"},{"name":"Bal O’Gadjo","details":"© Anne Petitfils\n\nWebseite der Band\nVideo\n \nBal O’Gadjo kombiniert die berauschende Musikflut aus dem Osten mit den warmen Klängen des Südens und bringt so jedes Publikum zum Tanzen.

Mich faszinierte die Klangerzeugung auf Instrumenten aller Art schon als Kind. So erlernte ich das Spielen verschiedenster Instrumente, teils im Unterricht, teils autodidaktisch: Fagott, Viola da Gamba, Saxophon, Dudelsack, Drehleier. Ausserdem beschäftigte ich mich mit dem Bau von Musikinstrumenten und wurde später Klarinettenbauer. In den 1980er Jahren eröffnete sich mir durch den Volkstanz eine neue Welt. Dann entdeckte ich meine Liebe für das Diatonische Akkordeon, die bis heute anhält.\nVivien Zeller — Nach 13 Jahren klassischer Ausbildung habe ich mit 17 Jahren die traditionelle Tanzmusik entdeckt und habe dort gefunden was ich schon lange gesucht hatte. Verbundenheit von Musik, Tanz und Variation. Diesen alten wunderschönen Melodien Leben einzuhauchen, sie zum grooven zu bringen und die Verbindung zu den Tänzern zu spüren fasziniert mich nach wie vor.\nIn kurzer Zeit habe ich über schwedische, dänische und irische Folkmusik zur traditionellen Tanzmusik Deutschlands, besonders Norddeutschlands gefunden. Hier fühle ich mich am meisten zu Hause und immer wieder gehe ich auf Entdeckungsreise in die Archive, um neue handschriftliche Notenbüchern von Tanzmusikern des 17.- 20. Jahrhunderts im deutschsprachigen Raums zu finden.\nImmer auf der Suche nach Inspiration und Perfektion, reise ich durch Europa, um auf Kursen, Konzerten und Sessions verschiedene traditionelle und neue Spieltechniken zu erlernen, die mein aktuelles Spiel befruchten und weiterentwickeln können.\n \nGefördert durch","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/wabe1022"],"start":"2022-10-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-21T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Folkinger","Duo Budweis-Zeller"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","http://www.wefolk.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1222"],"start":"2022-10-21T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-21T23:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Heer","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Introductory workshop","details":"Ben je nieuwsgierig naar Balfolk of ken je iemand die het leuk lijkt met Balfolk kennis te maken?

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 supertoffe Franse 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 Aurélien Claranbaux\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 €12 of meer. Als je minder te besteden hebt, kun je gebruik maken van het kortingstarief van €8. (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:\nAurélien Claranbaux is één van de bekendste artiesten uit de balfolk. Zo speelt hij o.a. accordeon in ZEF, Duo Absynthe en FeO, maar ook solo staat hij zeker zijn mannetje met een kick en wat effecten voor wat extra power. Op het podium speelt hij een mix van traditionals, eigen composities (waarvan velen nu traditionals aan het worden zijn) en improvisatie. Hij haal zijn inspiratie uit een breed scala aan genres zoals traditionele Franse folk, jazz, rock, rap en wereldmuziek. Het ene moment laat hij je grooven en swingen op een traditionele melodie en het andere moment zweef je over de dansvloer tijdens een subtiele en intieme deun.\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\n19:00 Aurélien Claranbaux\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 €12 or more. If you do not have so much to spend, use the lower fee of €8. (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.\nBand:\nAurélien Claranbaux is one of the most known artists from the balfolk. He plays accordeon for instance in ZEF, Duo Absynthe and FeO, but also solo he puts down a great act with a kick and some effects for extra power. On stage he plays a mix of traditional, his own compositions (of which many are now becoming traditional) and improvisation. He takes his inspiration from a broad spectrum of centres such as traditional French folk, jazz, rock, rap and world music. The one moment he lets groove and swing to a traditional melody and the next moment you are floating over the dancing floor during a subtle and intimate tune.\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/6055/","https://www.facebook.com/events/764652227966352/"],"start":"2022-10-24T17:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-24T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Aurélien Claranbaux"],"price":"€8-€12","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Liberál","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1152006732052713/1152006768719376/"],"start":"2022-10-25T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-25T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1244"],"start":"2022-10-26T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-26T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gooik","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Clercx"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"October's French Bal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/460019735995259/","http://www.frenchdance.co.uk/dates.htm"],"start":"2022-10-26T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-26T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Ockbrook","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Ockbrook French Music and Dancing","source":"events/uk/ockbrook.yaml"},{"name":"Interactive Folkdance Workshop","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1195","https://www.facebook.com/events/444821357711829"],"start":"2022-10-26T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-27T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Étoile","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/652476383250398/"],"start":"2022-10-26T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-26T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"London Balfolk","source":"events/uk/london_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Sytchampton club night","links":["https://www.sytchamptondanceclub.org.uk/dance_diary.html"],"start":"2022-10-26T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-26T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sytchampton","styles":["ecd","contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Dampier's Round"],"callers":["Bob Morgan"],"price":"£2","organisation":"Sytchampton Folk Dance Club","source":"events/uk/sytchampton.yaml"},{"name":"Solent Contra Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/793492865225746/"],"start":"2022-10-26T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-26T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bishops Waltham","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Solent Contra Dances","source":"events/uk/solent_contra.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary2022-23"],"start":"2022-10-27T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-27T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-2.50","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1239"],"start_date":"2022-10-28","end_date":"2022-10-28","country":"Belgium","city":"Marche-en-Famenne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Folk à Donf"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Consent workshop","details":"Wat doe je als iemand je ten dans vraagt maar je eigenlijk helemaal niet wilt dansen?

traditionele Halloweenbal van Balfolk Zuid-Holland. Deze keer niet in Leiden, maar in Poortugaal, een plek vlak onder Rotterdam. Uiteraard is het bal volop in Halloweensfeer. Voor ons komen optreden: Hilde Van Belle uit België en het Nederlandse powertrio BmB.\n\nHilde Van Belle is pianiste en zangeres. Zij speelt heerlijk sfeervolle en fijne balfolkmuziek. Al van kleins af aan was ze te vinden in de plaatselijke muziekschool en na haar studies muziekpedagogie en klassieke zang is ze niet meer weg te denken in de muzikale wereld.\n\nDe Nederlandse powerfolkband BmB bestaat uit drie mannen: Luc Plompen op gitaar, Niek van Uden op accordeon en Wouter Kuyper op doedelzak, fluit en chalumeau. Extra speciaal: de drie heren zingen ook graag.\n\nProgramma\nHet programma voor de avond:\n17.30: Deuren open\n18.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00: Hilde Van Belle\n20.30: Kostuumprijsuitreiking\n21.00: BmB\n23.00: Einde\n\nHalloween\n\nExtra speciaal deze avond: het bal is natuurlijk in Halloweenthema, dus De Brinkhoeve wordt omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle griezellocatie, met in plaats van bezoekers en dansers, heksen, feeën, spoken of zelfs vampieren! Zelf in een favoriete Halloweenoutfit komen wordt aanbevolen: organisator Balfolk Zuid-Holland zorgt voor mooie prijzen voor de origineelste en leukste kostuums. Toch liever niet verkleed? Geen probleem, het is niet verplicht en gezellig wordt het sowieso!\n\nLocatie\n\nHet bal is in De Brinkhoeve, in Poortugaal. Deze zaal is te vinden aan de Kerkstraat 12 in Poortugaal. De locatie is goed bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer, het is op zo'n 10 minuten lopen vanaf het metrostation Poortugaal. Parkeren is gratis in de wijk rondom de zaal.\n\nPrijs\nToegang tot het bal is 25 euro. Dit kan alleen cash aan de deur worden betaald, er kan niet worden gepind. Er is een bar waar bier, wijn en frisdrank tegen schappelijke prijzen gedronken kan worden.\n\nReserveren\n\nReserveren voor het Halloweenbal wordt aangeraden, dan weten we hoe gezellig het ongeveer wordt.\n\nVragen\n\nVragen of opmerkingen?

We presenteren twee *geweldige* groepen: Wouter en de Draak (NL) en Le Petit Piment (FR).\n\nWouter en de Draak is Joris Alblas (gitaar) en Wouter Kuyper (trekzak) en is sinds 2014 een vaste waarde in de Nederlandse folkscène. We zijn erg blij dat ze ons weer komen bewegen met hun originele tunes vol emotie, swing, en de robuuste energie die hun liefde voor Bretonse muziek brengt.\n\nPetit Piment (Arnaud Bibonne, Lucas Thebaut, Léo Danais & Florian Huygebaert) brengt bourdonmuziek van de Zuid-Franse bals verwoven met de ritmes van twee virtueuze percussionisten. De conga- en drumgrooves van Léo en Florian vinden hun inspiratie ver van de grenzen van Europese folkmuziek, maar passen naadloos in de authentieke Gascogne-melodieën die Le Petit Piment zo'n bounce en swing geven. En mag ik jullie nog herinneren aan de vierstemmige zang?\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg!\n\nBetalen kan contant of via Tikkie.\n\nTijdens het bal is er een gezellige picknick. Neem hiervoor vooral wat lekkers mee, dan delen we dat met z'n allen. Vergeet je bordje, bestek en opscheplepels niet. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!\n\nVoorlopige planning:\n\n15:00 Dansinitiatie\n16:00 Wouter en de Draak\n18:00 Potluck diner\n19:00 Petit Piment\n21:00 Einde","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/wageningen-junushoff-wouter-de-draak-petit-piment/","https://www.facebook.com/events/2416842108453898/"],"start":"2022-10-30T15:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-30T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Wageningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wouter en de Draak","Petit Piment"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dublin","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/369673585373034/369673612039698/"],"start":"2022-10-30T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-30T19:00:00+01:00","country":"Ireland","city":"Dublin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Dublin","cancelled":true,"source":"events/ireland/balfolk_dublin.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk with Duo Calanca Lipparini","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/508728477255496/"],"start":"2022-10-30T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-30T19:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Cremona","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Calanca Lipparini"],"organisation":"Balfolk nella Bassa","source":"events/italy/cremona.yaml"},{"name":"Balloween","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/810831536734793/"],"start":"2022-10-30T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-30T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Venice","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["TriOblique"],"price":"€10","organisation":"Sognando a Piedi Nudi - Mestre","source":"events/italy/venice.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dublin Halloween Special","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1652253431877526/"],"start":"2022-10-31T16:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-10-31T19:00:00+00:00","country":"Ireland","city":"Dublin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Dublin","source":"events/ireland/balfolk_dublin.yaml"},{"name":"Trio Baladins Bal and Workshop","details":"Er is deze keer zowel een live bal als een workshop, zie minibal Trio Baladins! Voor enkel het bal hoef je niet te reserveren, maar het wordt aangeraden de workshop te volgen. Mocht je enkel naar het bal komen is de entree €8, €10 of €15. (Kortingstarief is voor dit bal bedoeld als je die €2 echt niet kan missen).\n\nVoor workshop+bal moet je wel reserveren, zie boven voor reserveren voor het workshop+bal met bijhorende prijzen. Betaling doe je contant aan de kassa.\n\nWe hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\nProgramma\n18:45 – deuren open\n19:00 – les begint\n21:00 – bal begint\n22:00 – einde versterkt bal\n22:30 – einde akoestisch bal\n23:00 – Moira gaat dicht\nJe moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.\n\nWe vragen ook om de zaal snel te verlaten na het einde van het bal en om geen geluid te maken voor de Moira.\n\n\nWorkshop Beschrijving\nThe workshop will be given by Ellwen Barbault and musically accompanied by Trio Baladins.\n\nWhat if our body knew more than our head may suggest? What if we learned to listen to it to let it lead us?\n\nDuring this workshop, we will explore our body : we will learn to feel how it reacts to music, which emotions pass through it and how. Then, once we’ve met ourselves and let go, we can meet someone, observe, listen and feel how he or she reacts in the dance.\n\nWhich messages and emotions does he/she give to me ? Then it’s my turn to identify what I give and how. Finally, we’ll choose together a shared and/or complementary corporal language to lead and follow without suffering or imposing anything, neither to myself nor to someone else. Then can begin the co-leaded and unique dance we are creating together at 100%.\n\n\nNiveau\nIn this workshop we mostly use mazurka and scottish as working bases, but nothing is settled and we adjust to the participants depending on their needs, levels, etc.\n\n\nPrijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden\nZie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\n\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.\n\nStuur ons gerust een mail als je wilt aanmelden voor onze nieuwsbrief.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bulminibal1workshop/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bulminibal1/","https://www.facebook.com/events/786435719106447/"],"start":"2022-10-31T18:45:00+01:00","end":"2022-10-31T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Trio Baladins"],"price":"€8-€25","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"La Skeggia delle Streghe","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/642998984151898/"],"start":"2022-10-31T21:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-11-01T00:00:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Trieste","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Trieste Folk","source":"events/italy/trieste.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Liberál","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1152006732052713/1152006738719379/"],"start":"2022-11-01T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-11-01T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1242","https://www.facebook.com/events/1248753475874988/1248753485874987"],"start":"2022-11-02T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-11-02T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Sytchampton club night","links":["https://www.sytchamptondanceclub.org.uk/dance_diary.html"],"start":"2022-11-02T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-11-02T22:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sytchampton","styles":["ecd","contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Banjacs"],"callers":["Eve Evans"],"price":"£2","organisation":"Sytchampton Folk Dance Club","source":"events/uk/sytchampton.yaml"},{"name":"Socialles 244 — Fandango 2/2","details":"Deze donderdag 3 november is het socialles nr 243. De docenten deze week zijn Wim Scherpenzeel en Leora. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de Fandango. Let op: dit is les 2 van 2. Het is dan ook handig om bij beide aanwezig te zijn, maar er zal bij deze tweede les ook een korte herhaling gegeven worden van de eerste les voor degenen die het gemist hebben.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

AANTAL PLAATSEN: 20\nTAAL: Nederlands\nDUUR: 2,5 dag (vrijdag 16.00 uur - zondag 20.00 uur)\nAANMELDEN: dancingbodies\n\n \n𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelprocessen aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. 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\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…\n\n \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\n🅛🅔🅣 🅞🅟: Het instapniveau ligt relatief hoog, twijfel je over je dansniveau?

Es heißt, dass die Java einer der Tänze der Musette ist, die, wenn gut getanzt, einen Eindruck von Anmut, Leichtigkeit und technischer Perfektion erzeugen und „stets die Aufmerksamkeit anderer Tänzer auf sich ziehen“.\nDer Kurs vermittelt Grundschritt und choreografische Möglichkeiten des Tanzes, unter Beachtung seiner stilistischen Eigenheiten.

Docent deze week zijn Noelia & Rick. Het thema is de gigue en hoe interactie en 'spelen' met variaties, partners en de rest van de groep mogelijk gemaakt kan worden. Eigen variaties en inbreng van harte welkom!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-246-rotterdam-spelen-in-de-gigue/"],"start":"2022-11-17T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-11-17T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Band\nParacetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje.

Schottis, een dans met dezelfde 19e-eeuwse stam als ‘onze’ Scottish maar één die een andere richting op geëvolueerd is. Iets dat vooral te zien is in dat deze dans afstand maakt! In deze workshops gaan we spelen met ritmes, leren initiëren zonder te leiden, en werken met het groepsgevoel van alle koppels in dezelfde ruimte. En dat natuurlijk terwijl we een stevige basis aanleren van deze hele toffe dans!\n\nNiveau\nDe workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen: binnen de basis is er ruimte voor individuele verdieping, dus de workshop is interessant voor beginnende dansers én mensen die de schottis al kennen. Wel raden wij met klem aan om beide workshops te volgen; mocht dat écht niet lukken kun je mailen naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.\n\nLestijden & Locatie\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\nJe moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.\n\n\nPrijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden\nZie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

variëren (1/2)","details":"Deze donderdag 24 november is het socialles nr 247. Docent deze week is Susanne, zij gaat met ons aan de slag met leiden, volgen en variëren in koppeldansen. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de les van volgende week, gegeven door Paulo, maar kunnen zoals altijd ook los gevolgd worden.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-247-rotterdam-leiden-volgen-en-varieren-1-2/"],"start":"2022-11-24T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-11-24T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"The

Eerst nog in het eigen pand van het VCK, op de zolder van het Vlaams Arsenaal. We hadden een eigen sleutel en de jamsessie na afloop van een bal mocht rustig tot 4 uur 's nachts duren. Toen het VCK deze ruimte in 2013 afstootte gingen we verder: eerst bals in tangosalon El Corte, vanaf 2015 in de Brebl en Het Danslokaal op het Honigcomplex. In de periode van 2017 tot 2020 organiseerden we bals in het Kolpinghuis.\nSinds 2017 organiseren we ook maandelijks bals samen met Kees van Café the Shuffle. Daar vieren we dan ook graag al deze dansende jaren met dit tweedaagse balfolk feest. Doe je mee?\nVoorverkoop tickets\nPrijs: 26,50 euro per dag\nVoor de vroege vogels is er een aantal \"combi-tickets\" voor beide dagen te bestellen.

Zij leerden elkaar kennen in 2018 bij een balfolk-muziekstage in Kalmthout (België).  Het klikte! .... en met veel plezier spelen (en bestuderen, en dansen) ze sindsdien balfolkmuziek. Inmiddels zijn ze lekker op elkaar ingespeeld en hebben hun eigen originele muzikale klank ontwikkeld. Veel eigen stukken (dansen), maar ook traditionals die ze oppikten van oude muzikanten en leermeesters in binnen- en buitenland. Met veel plezier presenteren ze op deze middag hun nieuwe programma:  Lekker spacen op muziek van Mars House Band.\n\nNatuurlijk is ook het Ad-Hoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) er weer bij. Het Ad-Hoc 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.\nHet bal begint zoals gebruikelijk stipt om 14:00 uur.\n\nTijdens het bal worden enkele korte instructies gegeven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven, Andro retourné en Suite de

(2/2)","details":"Deze donderdag 1 december is het socialles nr 248. Docent deze week is Paulo, hij gaat met ons aan de slag met leiden, volgen en variëren in koppeldansen. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de les van vorige week, gegeven door Susanne, maar ze kunnen zoals altijd ook los gevolgd worden.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-248-rotterdam-leiden-volgen-en-varieren-2-2/"],"start":"2022-12-01T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-01T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Bal

Docenten deze week zijn Anika, Ellen, Lara en Johan en zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de repasseado.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-249-rotterdam-repasseado/"],"start":"2022-12-08T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-08T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Bal

info toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt. Stuur ons gerust een e-mail, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\n\n[English below] We gaan twee weken Poitou-dansen dansen bij Balfolk Utrecht en allerlei smaakjes leren kennen! Iedereen is welkom. Workshops zijn los te volgen, maar het leukst samen ;).\n\nWe starten op 12 december met een workshop van Saskia Sportel. Met een schat vol kennis en een flinke dosis humor neemt ze je mee naar het westen van Frankrijk, de Poitou-regio. Verwacht groepsdansen die energiek en speels zijn, en tegelijk een traditionele ondertoon hebben. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor bij deze dansen, en in deze reeks zal dit zeker tot uiting komen! Saskia heeft in samenspraak met onze Franse gast van de week daarop een heuse Poitou Menukaart ontwikkelt. Dat is gelijk de perfecte voorbereiding op onze seizoensafsluiter, namelijk…\n\nOp 19 december komt niemand minder dan Lucas Thebaut naar de Moira, voor een workshop + minibal, met Poitou-muziek. Lucas is een bekende accordeonspeler van bands zoals Ballsy Swing en Accordzéâm. Maar hij is ook een fantastische soloartiest en danser.\nOnze Poitou-workshop menukaart:\nDeze workshop: 12 december, met Saskia Sportel:\n\n \tBal Limousine\n \tAvant deux à Coutant\n \tMaraichine\n \tAls de tijd het toelaat, bonusfiguren in de Maraichine\n\nOp 19 december, met Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tBranle de Noirmoutier*\n \tMarchoises\n \tExtra verrassingen als de tijd het toelaat\n\n*Jazeker, je leest het goed… Branle de Noirmoutier met ‘echte Poitou passen’ ;-)\nDaarna natuurlijk: Minibal met al deze dansen en meer!\n\nHet belooft een knallende seizoensafsluiter te worden :).\n\nNiveau\nBeide workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen… Je bent welkom, ongeacht of het je eerste kennismaking is met Poitou, of dat graag een opfrisser wil, of je kent de dansen alleen ‘van zien doen’, of omdat je simpelweg niet weg kunt blijven.\n\nOver de docent\nSaskia geeft sinds bijna 15 jaar balfolk workshops en lessen. Saskia’s doceerstijl wordt vaak beschreven als open, helder en verfrissend. Het doel is om plezier te hebben, zowel tijdens de workshop als op de dansvloer. Daarbij zijn een veilige ruimte en persoonlijke aandacht belangrijk.\n\nLestijden & Locatie\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting.\nJe moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.\n\nPrijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden\nZie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen? Mail naar utrecht@balfolk.nl\n\n\n\n[English]\n\nWe are going to dance Poitou dances! All are welcome.\n\nWe start December 12th with a workshop by Saskia Sportel. With a chink of knowledge and a good dose of humor, she takes you along to the west of France, the Poitou region. Saskia developed this workshop in collaboration with our French guest of the following week, which makes it the perfect preparation. Because…\n\nOn December 19th the one and only Lucas Thebaut is coming to the Moira for a workshop + minibal with Poitou music! Lucas is a well-known accordeon player, from bands such as Ballsy Swing and Accordzéâm, and he is a fanastic solo-artist and dancer too.\n\nExpect dances that are energetic, playful and have a traditional base to it. Collectivity is an important factor during workshops and bals with Lucas, and with the group dances from the Poitou-area you will definitely get this experience.\nOur Poitou workshop menu:\nOn December 12th, with Saskia Sportel:\n\nWorkshop\n\n \tBal Limousine\n \tAvant deux à Coutant\n \tMaraichine\n \tIf time allows, extra figures in Maraichine\n\nOn December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tBranle de Noirmoutier\n \tMarchoises\n \tExtra surprises if time allows it\n\nAnd of course, also on December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tMini bal with all these dances, and more!\n\nThis season finale is about to be a hit! :)\n\nLevel\nBoth workshops are open for everyone… You are welcome, whether it’s your first taste of Poitou dances, or you just want a refresher, or if you know the dances only from seeing it on the dancefloor, or because you simply cannot stay away.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/eerste-portie-poitou-balfolk-utrecht/"],"start":"2022-12-12T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-12T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€20-€25","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"BALL-Dados","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/444433381040926/444433401040924/"],"start":"2022-12-12T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-12-12T20:00:00+00:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Lisbon","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Tradballs","source":"events/portugal/tradballs.yaml"},{"name":"BALL-Dados","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/505878061541229/505878098207892/"],"start":"2022-12-12T20:30:00+00:00","end":"2022-12-12T21:30:00+00:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Lisbon","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Tradballs","source":"events/portugal/tradballs.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Au Pianofabriek","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/379605447560771"],"start":"2022-12-13T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-13T22:15:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Absynthe"],"price":"€12-€20","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Liberál","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1152006732052713/1152006798719373/"],"start":"2022-12-13T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-13T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Verjaardagsbal Gina","details":"In december ben ik jarig en wil dat graag met jullie vieren en daarom trakteer ik op live muziek.\n\nIk heb voor ons de band Androneda uitgenodigd!\n\nEen cadeautje hoeft niet, mijn grootste wens is dat jullie allemaal komen meedansen.

Docent deze week zijn Rick en Noelia. Helemaal in de feestdagenstemming, net nadat Sinterklaas is vertrokken en de kerstman is gearriveerd, doen we deze week een grabbelton/cadeautjesles: het is aan jullie wat we deze les gaan behandelen! Extra leuk omdat we natuurlijk deze keer de 250ste hebben. Verzoekjes welkom uiteraard voor thema's of dansjes die je altijd al eens wil doen.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-250-rotterdam/"],"start":"2022-12-15T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-15T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Reserveren via de website van Balfolk Amsterdam (https://balfolkamsterdam.nl) is aanbevolen.\n\nBand Duo Absynthe\nEen ontmoeting tussen twee nachtbrakers\nDuo Absynthe is een ontmoeting tussen twee nachtbrakers: Aurélien Claranbaux en Sylvain Letourneau.

Voor enkel het bal hoef je niet te reserveren, maar het wordt aangeraden de workshop te volgen. Mocht je enkel naar het bal komen is de entree €8, €10 of €15. (Kortingstarief is voor dit bal bedoeld als je die €2 echt niet kan missen).\n\nVoor workshop+bal moet je wel reserveren, zie boven voor reserveren voor het workshop+bal met bijhorende prijzen. Betaling doe je contant aan de kassa.\n\n\n\nWe hebben onderaan op onze lespagina info toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt. Stuur ons gerust een e-mail, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.\n\n\n\n[English below] We gaan twee weken Poitou-dansen dansen bij Balfolk Utrecht en allerlei smaken leren kennen! Iedereen is welkom. Workshops zijn los te volgen, maar het leukst samen ;).\n\nWe starten op 12 december met een workshop van Saskia Sportel, die samen met Lucas een hele menukaart van dansen voor ons heeft samengesteld.\n\nVoor deze workshop op 19 december komt Lucas Thebaut naar de Moira! Hij pakt de draad op van Saskia en introduceert ons aan een Tweede Portie Poitou, dansen uit de streek waar hij zelf vandaan komt. Verwacht groepsdansen die energiek en speels zijn, en tegelijk een traditionele ondertoon hebben. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor in de workshops van Lucas, en met dit menu zal dit zeker tot uiting komen!\nOnze Poitou-workshop menukaart:\n12 december, met Saskia Sportel:\n\n \tBal Limousine\n \tAvant deux à Coutant\n \tMaraichine\n \tAls de tijd het toelaat, bonusfiguren in de Maraichine\n\nDeze workshop, 19 december, met Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tBranle de Noirmoutier\n \tMarchoises\n \tExtra verrassingen als de tijd het toelaat\n\nJazeker, je leest het goed… Branle de Noirmoutier met ‘echte Poitou passen’ ;-)\n\nDaarna natuurlijk: Minibal met al deze dansen en meer!\n\nHet belooft een knallende seizoensafsluiter te worden :).\n\nNiveau\nBeide workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen… Je bent welkom, ongeacht of het je eerste kennismaking is met Poitou, of dat graag een opfrisser wil, of je kent de dansen alleen ‘van zien doen’, of omdat je simpelweg niet weg kunt blijven. Deze workshop zal in het Engels gegeven worden.\n\nOver de docent\nLucas is een bekende accordeonspeler van bands zoals Ballsy Swing en Accordzéâm. Maar hij is ook een fantastische soloartiest én danser. Hij heeft veel ervaring met dansworkshops geven in zowel Frankrijk als internationaal. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor tijdens workshops en bals van Lucas en met de groepsdansen uit de regio Poitou zal dit zeker tot uiting komen!\n\nLestijden & Locatie\n18:45 – deuren open\n19:00 – les begint\n21:00 – bal begint\n22:00 – einde versterkt bal\n22:30 – einde akoestisch bal\n23:00 – Moira gaat dicht\nJe moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.\n\nWe vragen ook om de zaal snel te verlaten na het einde van het bal en om geen geluid te maken voor de Moira.\n\nPrijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden\nZie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen? Mail naar utrecht@balfolk.nl\n\n\n\n[English]\n\nWe are going to dance Poitou dances! All are welcome.\n\nWe start December 12th with a workshop by Saskia Sportel. With a chink of knowledge and a good dose of humor, she takes you along to the west of France, the Poitou region. Saskia developed this workshop in collaboration with our French guest of the following week, which makes it the perfect preparation. Because…\n\nOn December 19th the one and only Lucas Thebaut is coming to the Moira for a workshop + miniball with Poitou music! Lucas is a well-known accordeon player, from bands such as Ballsy Swing and Accordzéâm, and he is a fanastic solo-artist and dancer too.\n\nExpect dances that are energetic, playful and have a traditional base to it. Collectivity is an important factor during workshops and bals with Lucas, and with the group dances from the Poitou-area you will definitely get this experience.\nOur Poitou workshop menu:\nOn December 12th, with Saskia Sportel:\n\nWorkshop\n\n \tBal Limousine\n \tAvant deux à Coutant\n \tMaraichine\n \tIf time allows, extra figures in Maraichine\n\nOn December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tBranle de Noirmoutier\n \tMarchoises\n \tExtra surprises if time allows it\n\nAnd of course, also on December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:\n\n \tMini ball with all these dances, and more!\n\nThis season finale is about to be a hit! :)\n\nLevel\nBoth workshops are open for everyone… You are welcome, whether it’s your first taste of Poitou dances, or you just want a refresher, or if you know the dances only from seeing it on the dancefloor, or because you simply cannot stay away.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/tweede-portie-poitou-minibal-lucas-thebaut-balfolk-utrecht/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/minibal-lucas-thebaut-balfolk-utrecht/"],"start":"2022-12-19T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-19T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Lucas

socialles nr 251. Docent deze week is Leo Visser. Het thema is 'Samen dansen'.  Of we nu in een koppel of in een groep dansen, we zijn altijd samen aan het dansen. Dit betekent dat we willen communiceren en op elkaar letten. Tijdens deze socialles kijken we naar hoe we samen kunnen dansen. Het maakt niet uit of iemand trad of neo danst, snel of langzaam wil dansen of energiek of rustig, we dansen samen!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-251-rotterdam/"],"start":"2022-12-22T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-22T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2022.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 3","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1087","https://frissefolk.be/en/civicrm/event/info%3Fid%3D734%26reset%3D1","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1094","https://www.facebook.com/events/58659849285094"],"start":"2022-12-22T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-22T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balhalla Kerstbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://balhalla.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1205","https://www.facebook.com/events/5657107727666704/"],"start":"2022-12-22T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-22T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Cardboard Cabin"],"organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Christmas Dinner and Dance","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/christmas-dinner-and-dance/"],"start":"2022-12-22T18:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-12-22T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["ecd","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Chris Toyne & Henry Lovegrove"],"callers":["Simon Maplesden"],"price":"£5-£62","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 2","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1086","https://frissefolk.be/en/civicrm/event/info%3Fid%3D732%26reset%3D1","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1093","https://www.facebook.com/events/586598492850947"],"start":"2022-12-22T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2022-12-22T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Christmas House Party","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/christmas-house-party-4/"],"start":"2022-12-23T16:00:00+00:00","end":"2022-12-27T10:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Gareth Kiddier, Linda Game & Hannah Cummings"],"callers":["Lynne Render"],"price":"£370-£560","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Winter CDH","links":["https://www.contradancersdelight.com/about-winter-cdh","https://www.facebook.com/events/424841869594619/"],"start_date":"2022-12-26","end_date":"2023-01-01","country":"USA","state":"TN","city":"Kingsport","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Toss the Possum","Buzz Band"],"callers":["Bob Isaacs","Terry Doyle","Warren Doyle"],"price":"$370-$770","organisation":"Appalachian Folk School","source":"events/usa/cdh.yaml"},{"name":"Winter Dance Week","links":["https://www.folkschool.org/2022/11/02/winter-dance-week/"],"start_date":"2022-12-26","end_date":"2023-01-01","country":"USA","state":"NC","city":"Brasstown","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Erynn Marshall","Carl Jones","Karen Axelrod","Rachel Bell","Daron Douglas","Audrey Knuth","Noah Van Norstrand"],"callers":["Phil Jamison","Kalia Kliban","Diane Silver"],"price":"$438","organisation":"John C.

Es ist mein Zuhause, seit ich 12 Jahre alt bin, und jetzt genieße ich es, Balfolk in ganz Europa zu tanzen. In den Kursen wechsle ich immer die Rollen, um zu verstehen, wie das Tanzen aus verschiedenen Positionen funktioniert. Außerdem bin ich überzeugt davon, dass Tanzen auch politisch ist, so dass ein Rollenwechsel uns auch erlaubt, zu lernen, was es bedeutet, für mehr als nur mich selbst verantwortlich zu sein, die Kontrolle abzugeben und sich an jemand anderen anzupassen.\nqueeringbalfolk.de","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/feurwa2301"],"start":"2023-01-06T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-06T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo l'Hêtre Heureux","Mara Menzel"],"price":"€10-€22","organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","http://www.folknammusiquetrad.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1356"],"start":"2023-01-06T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-06T20:45:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Namur","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["AMano","Les Kickeuses"],"organisation":"Folknam Musique Trad","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Alcester Contra","links":["https://davidfolk7.wixsite.com/alcestercontras"],"start":"2023-01-06T19:45:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-06T22:45:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Alcester","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Linda Game Band"],"callers":["Geoff Cubitt"],"price":"£4-£10","organisation":"Alcester Contra","source":"events/uk/alcester_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Ceilidh Club","links":["https://ceilidhclub.com/event/ceilidh-club-6-1-23-cecil-sharp-house/"],"start":"2023-01-06T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-06T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£14-£20","organisation":"London Ceilidh Club","source":"events/uk/ceilidh_club.yaml"},{"name":"BALL-Dados","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1148527972751899/1148528002751896/"],"start":"2023-01-07T10:30:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-07T12:30:00+00:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Lisbon","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Tradballs","source":"events/portugal/tradballs.yaml"},{"name":"Le Bal Des Libellules","links":["http://www.lebaldeslibellules.be/en/events/folkbal_2023_01_07/","https://www.facebook.com/events/691815318975143/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1358"],"start":"2023-01-07T14:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-08T01:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Forrières","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["La Sylva","Hilde van Belle"],"price":"€12-€42","organisation":"Le Bal Des Libellules","source":"events/belgium/baldeslibellules.yaml"},{"name":"Blowzabella dance","links":["https://blowzabella.co.uk/event/4838350/616739370/blowzabella-dance-baltonsborough-village-hall-somerset"],"start":"2023-01-07T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-07T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Baltonsborough","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Blowzabella"],"price":"£5-£15","organisation":"Blowzabella","source":"events/blowzabella.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Stroud","links":["https://balfolkstroud.uk/cps/gigs/tba-99ddf2.php","https://www.facebook.com/events/660632435721317/"],"start":"2023-01-07T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-07T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Stroud","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Confluence"],"price":"£10","organisation":"Balfolk dans les Cinq Vallées -

Zij hebben hier beiden veel over geleerd tijdens hun dansstudie aan het Eric Sahlström Institut in Tobo, Zweden.\n\nEr zijn natuurlijk meerdere polskor, net zoals er niet maar één bourrée is. In deze workshop gaan we aan de slag met algemene technieken in de polska, die heel goed toepasbaar zijn op de polska zoals 'ie bij balfolk gedanst wordt.\n\nIn de workshops gaan we vanuit een Zweeds dansperspectief aan de slag met bewegen, balans, draaien, en uiteindelijk het samen rondkomen. Zo kun je de polska leren dansen zonder geduw of getrek, en weinig duizeligheid: met minder moeite dus!\n\nNiveau\nDe workshop is zowel geschikt voor beginners die al wat pasjes op de 1 en 3 gewaagd hebben, en mensen die de polska op de balfolkvloer al onder de knie (denken te) hebben. Het helpt altijd om al een beetje bekend te zijn met het muzikale ritme.\n\nWel raden wij met klem aan om beide workshops te volgen; mocht dat écht niet lukken kun je mailen naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.\n\nLestijden & Locatie\n19:00 – deuren open\n19:15 – de les begint\n21:45 – einde les\n22:00 – sluiting\nJe moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.\n\n\nPrijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden\nZie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.\n\nLet op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.\n\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)\n\nNieuwsbrief\nJe kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.\n\nHeb je vragen?

Docent deze week is Marcel en we gaan deze week aan de slag met de rondeau als dans.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-252-rotterdam-rondeau/"],"start":"2023-01-12T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-12T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Dance

te dansen in Hoorn met 3 topgroepen en een workshop vooraf.\n\nProgramma\n\n12:00 – 15:00 – Workshop\n15:15 – 16:15 – Dansuitleg\n16:30 – 18:30 – Cardboard Cabin\n18:30 – 19:30 – Picknick\n19:30 – 21:30 – Duo Nello\n21:45 – 23:15 – Mars House Band\n\nPraktische informatie\n\nDe locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn de laatste trein naar utrecht gaat nog na 12 uur 's avonds dus je kunt het einde van het bal goed meemaken!\nMet de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Als het goed is kan er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.\nOp de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden.\n\nPicknick\n\nNet zoals andere keren hebben we weer een picknick! We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Probeer ook een kaartje of papiertje oid te maken om aan te geven of je gerecht bijvoorbeeld vegatarisch is of voor speciale dieten geschikt is. Dat helpt mensen die bepaalde dieëten volgen heel erg! (vooral bij gerechten in bijvoorbeeld bladerdeeg kan het soms echt giswerk worden anders)\n\nWorkshop\n\nVoorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gegeven worden door een internationale balfolk docent! Deze workshop moet los voor betaald worden. Tijdens de workshop is de bar nog niet open, we raden dus aan om zelf eten en drinken mee te nemen om te nuttigen tijdens de workshop.\n\nPrijzen\n\nDe inflatie en verhoogde tarieven raakt ons ook. Waar we in het verleden nog een lager tarief en een fair trade tarief konden bieden is de prijs voor het bal nu gewoon 25 euro geworden. We zagen dat veel mensen het fair trade tarief al betaalde (heel erg bedankt hiervoor!) maar als we de musikanten en technici eerlijk willen betalen kunnen we niet meer minder vragen dan 25 euro voor het bal.\n\nBal: 25 euro\nWorkshop: 20 euro\n\nKaartjes kopen\n\nJe kunt je kaartje voor het bal (en de workshop) via deze link bestellen.\n\nThis workshop will be before the bal in Hoorn (https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-hoorn/).\nThe workshop will be in English!\n\nDescription:\nHave you ever experienced the situation when you hear your favourite group dance, you join the circle and it was nice but a bit off? Something was missing and you’re not sure what exactly?\nHave you ever danced a really nice waltz, wanted to move smoothly around the room but got stuck in one spot? Have you ever bumped into other couples?\nIn this workshop we will work together on finding a common energy in the collective dances:\nhow to dance together and share energy in the group. We will also look a bit closer at the couple dances and see if we can find a connection between the couples on the dance floor.\nWe will look for ideas and solutions to these challenges to have more fun in the dance.\n\nAbout the Teacher:\nAgnieszka has been dancing since childhood: starting with artistic gymnastics and ballet, then court dances, Scottish Celtica SCD (later Cluaran SCD) and Irish dancing, where she stayed for some time, before finally landing in balfolk in 2016.\nFrom that moment, she has been strongly attached to the balfolk scene - traveling around Europe to learn more, while also teaching and organizing regularly in Krakow for 5 years.\nWhat is important for her is to find joy in movement and learning something new from every kind of dance: the richness of chain and circle dances but also the beautiful connection that you can find in couple dances.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-hoorn/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-the-hive-mind/","https://www.facebook.com/events/460843829399452/","https://www.facebook.com/events/563164175664895/"],"start":"2023-01-14T12:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-14T23:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Hoorn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Cardboard Cabin","Duo Nello","Mars House Band"],"price":"€25-€45","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Le Vendredi Danse","links":["https://www.facebook.com/levendredidanse/posts/pfbid0aTjQjkimndviPWr6xKU2wKwxsZgYcYFhafDybu94hJNRBjo8zFRWKXHaSJt1G5fCl"],"start":"2023-01-14T13:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-14T17:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Holmfirth","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Les Habitués"],"price":"£5","organisation":"Le Vendredi Danse","source":"events/uk/le_vendredi_danse.yaml"},{"name":"American Contra Dance in Paris","links":["https://sites.google.com/site/americancontradanceinparis/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3324771134458468/","https://www.facebook.com/groups/156727372682/posts/10159578028632683/"],"start":"2023-01-14T17:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"France","city":"Paris","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Thomas Bailey, Léopoldine Guillaume, Valentin Nivetav and Camille Moreddu"],"callers":["Charlie Turner"],"organisation":"Paris Contra Dance","source":"events/france/paris_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Experience","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://www.muziekcentrumdranouter.be/nl/concert/2023-01-14/bal-experience-20-jaar-shillelagh-f","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1332"],"start":"2023-01-14T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-14T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Dranouter","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Shillelagh"],"price":"€12-€14","organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Oxfolk Contra-Ceilidh","links":["https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oxfolkceilidhs/785360/","https://www.facebook.com/events/2374461839424305/"],"start":"2023-01-14T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-14T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["e-ceilidh","contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Contrasaurus"],"callers":["Charlotte Rich-Griffin"],"price":"£3-£14","organisation":"Oxfolk","source":"events/uk/oxfolk.yaml"},{"name":"London Barndance","links":["https://www.barndance.org/programme.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/1091072018253597/"],"start":"2023-01-14T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-14T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddlechicks"],"callers":["Louise Siddons"],"price":"£5-£15","organisation":"London Barndance Company","source":"events/uk/london_barndance.yaml"},{"name":"Dance concert","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/699593701264272"],"start":"2023-01-14T21:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-15T00:00:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Naples","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Hartwin Dhoore"],"price":"€10","organisation":"Neapolis Balfolk","source":"events/italy/naples.yaml"},{"name":"Pair of Shears in Hanham","links":["http://mister.red/dance/bristol.htm#D.AU.20230115"],"start_date":"2023-01-15","end_date":"2023-01-15","country":"UK","city":"Hanham","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Pair of Shears"],"callers":["Mic Spenceley"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"TopHill Music Contradance Party","links":["https://www.guidingstargrange.org/events.html"],"start":"2023-01-14T20:00:00-05:00","end":"2023-01-14T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Greenfield","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$12-$20","organisation":"Guiding Star Grange","source":"events/usa/greenfield.yaml"},{"name":"Les Batons","links":["https://www.lesbatons.org/dates"],"start":"2023-01-15T13:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-15T17:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Hollingbourne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Les Batons","source":"events/uk/les_batons.yaml"},{"name":"Afternoon Balfolk","details":"Balfolk op Zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen van 2 tot 5 uur\nIn Die Port van Cleve vindt zondagmiddag 15 januari 2023 weer een Balfolk-middag plaats. Dit keer met als speciale muzikale gasten, de groep 'Madlot’.\nDe naam Madlot komt van een Nederlandse dans die in de negentiende eeuw populair was. Nu kun je daar een cercle op dansen. Madlot is een dynamisch collectief van muzikanten rond Judica Lookman en Bert Lotz. Elkaar ontmoeten en inspireren vanuit verschillende muziektradities, is een nieuw thema geworden: van jong tot oud, en vanuit allerlei streken. En hoe dat klinkt wil Madlot deze middag laten horen.  Zij spelen folk uit Nederland en Frankrijk: scottisch, wals, polka, mazurka, rondeau, andro, hanterdro, enz. enz.\n\nJudica Lookman -trekharmonica’s\nBert Lotz -doedelzakken, koeienhoorn, blokfluit, schalmei\nWouter Koenders -doedelzakken, fluit\nCorentin Clot -banjo\nZie voor meer informatie www.madlot.nl\n\nDaarnaast zal ook het vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) spelen. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse en vlaamse Balfolk muziek.

is het socialles nr 253. Docent deze week is René en we gaan deze week aan de slag met de wals. Even terug naar de basis: hoe gaat deze dans, hoe dans je deze fijn en hoe zorg je ervoor dat je niet duizelig wordt van al die rondjes? We zullen vooral de wals in 3 dansen met z'n allen.\n\nDeze socialles is mooi te combineren met die van volgende week, waarop we dieper op de dans in gaan en een uitstapje maken naar de wals in 5, 8 en mogelijke andere variaties. 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken.

Bitterzoete composities, speelse en lyrische melodieën met arrangementen geïnspireerd op traditionele Franse en Europese muziek, maar ook klassiek. Het bal staat altijd centraal in hun werk, maar door hun respectievelijke opleiding tot klassiek pianist bieden ze ook een concertformule, altijd met dezelfde liefde voor onderzoek, van de juiste toon, degene die vlinders in de buik geeft en die we houden het warm als we het eenmaal hebben gevonden.\n\nAmélie Denarié\nAls actrice van opleiding neemt muziek een primordiale plaats in haar leven in. Tijdens haar kinderjaren werd ze opgeschrikt door de diatonische accordeon van haar moeder, en pas na haar pianostudie besloot ze zich dit instrument volledig toe te eigenen. Uit zijn ontmoeting met Anne Guinot in 2002 werd Guilis ô Vent geboren, een neo-traditionele muziekgroep uit Montpellier die de balroute volgde tot 2005. Ze componeerde een deel van het repertoire. De diatonische accordeon begeleidt nu veel van zijn theatrale creaties, net als zang. Ze brengt haar composities nu naar het Zéoles-repertoire, waarvoor ze de arrangementen maakt met Anne Guinot, maar ook naar het duo Diatocello (met Mathieu Mitéran) en trad in 2018 toe tot het Bodoq-project met Angela Flahault.\n\nAnne Guinot\nNa het leren van de piano, bleek de chromatische accordeon zijn favoriete instrument. Mede-oprichter van de groep Guilis ô Vent met Amélie Denarié, ze componeerde een deel van het repertoire. Ze componeert ook regelmatig voor theater en dans. Haar composities dienen het repertoire van Zéoles, dat ze samen met Amélie Denarié arrangeert.\n\n \n\nPFM!\n\nPFM! begeleidt de dansuitleg en speelt daarna bal. PFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar (en een beetje trekzak). Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!\n\nMaurits van Heijningen: viool\nPieter Tijssen: gitaar en een beetje trekzak\nFrans Stuurman: klarinet\n\n \n\nSocial dance in Mezrab\n\nDe maandelijkse balfolk avond in Amsterdam in de Mezrab, een kroeg gerund door leuke mensen nodigt balfolk uit om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).\nEen dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band.

Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.\n\nLet op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nEten en Drinken\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.\n\nNeem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, 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.\n\n\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.\n\n\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\n\n\n\nYou can book via Google Forms, see here.\nWe kick off this year with the nostalgically familiar Naragonia, and Diatocello that is going to be nostalgic familiar. We start the evening with Diatocello, consisting of accordionist Amélie Denarié (known from Les Zéoles) and jazz cellist Mathieu Mitéran. So, expect a lot of soft, but powerful rhythmic variations. And, we close the evening with Naragonia, two accordionists from Belgium who will make beautiful music in an extra long performance of 2 hours.\n\nThere will be a workshop, but we're still planning it.\n\n\nProgramm\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – Einde Workshop\n15:30 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:00 – Diatocello\n17:30 – Potluck\n19:45 – Naragonia\n21:45 – Eind bal\n\n\nBands\nYou can listen to them below.\nhttps://youtu.be/bDBc27I3pMU\nhttps://youtu.be/fMxcoThidck\n\n\nReservation, Prices and Conditions\nYou reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.\n\nNB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.\n\n\nFair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\n\n\nFood and Drinks\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.\n\nBring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\n\n\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.

Docent deze week is Paulo en we gaan deze week verder de verdieping in met de wals. Wat is nu precies de techniek achter het dansen, hoe dans je deze samen met een partner fijn en hoe zorg je dat je heerlijk kunt zwieren op de dansvloer zonder duizelig te worden? We zullen ook een uitstapje maken naar niet alleen de wals in 3, maar ook in 5 en 8 en andere variaties.\n\nDeze socialles is mooi te combineren met die van vorige week, waarop de basis aan bod is gekomen. 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-254-rotterdam-wals-verdieping/"],"start":"2023-01-26T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-26T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Balhalla","details":"Ball","links":["https://balhalla.be/nl","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1299"],"start":"2023-01-26T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-26T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes"],"price":"€11","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1344","https://www.facebook.com/events/554156246610048/"],"start":"2023-01-26T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-26T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"The

bal at Balfolk Express","details":"Kom dansen!\n\nOp dinsdag 31 januari is de laatste les van het seizoen bij Balfolk Express. Deze keer willen we met een knaller eindigen. We hebben de band Itchy Fingers uitgenodigd en we openen de deuren voor iedereen. Ook jij bent welkom.\n\n \n\nReserveren:\n\nReserveren kan via de rode knop boven aan de pagina. We raden aan om te reserveren zodat je verzekerd bent van een plek.\n\n \n\nOver de band:\n\nItchy Fingers\n\nKijkend naar het virtuoze accordeonspel van Erik de Jong, en de vliegensvlugge gitaarritmes van Tijn Berends, waarbij twee paar handen haast sneller dan het oog kan volgen heen en weer vliegen over knoppen en snaren, krijgen veel mensen een haast onbedwingbare neiging aan hun eigen vingers te krabben. Bij het zien van dit opmerkelijke fenomeen besloten de twee muzikanten om hun duo om te dopen tot Itchy Fingers.\n\nDe beide bandleden zijn oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit het noorden des lands, en speelden al enkele jaren samen bij de sessies in Groningen toen zij besloten hun muzikale vaardigheden te bundelen in deze band op zakformaat. Door het grote aantal instrumenten dat deze twee multi-instrumentalisten bespelen, kunnen zij een breed spectrum aan geluiden ten gehore brengen. Subtiele walsen op de tinwhistle, pakkende ritmes op bodhrán en bouzouki, en dansbare balfolk op accordeon, concertina en mondharmonica behoren tot de mogelijkheden.\n\n \n\n \n\nTijden:\n\nDeuren open: 20:15\nStart band: 20:30\nSluiten zaal: 22:45\n\n \n\nAdres:\n\nCafé Tropical\nVerlengde Hooggravenseweg 203, Utrecht\n\n \n\nBereikbaarheid:\n\nEr zijn beperkt aantal plekken vrij op het terrein voor auto’s. Buiten het terrein is het betaald parkeren.\nDe locatie is goed bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer of met de fiets.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/afsluitend-bal-bij-balfolk-express/"],"start":"2023-01-31T20:15:00+01:00","end":"2023-01-31T22:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Itchy Fingers"],"price":"€10","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dance Class","details":"Breton dances & Bakmes","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/644216064113468/644216087446799/"],"start":"2023-01-31T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-01-31T22:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Manchester","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"£8-£14","organisation":"Manchester Eurodance","source":"events/uk/manchester.yaml"},{"name":"Folkdansles Limburg (begonners)","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1453"],"start":"2023-02-01T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-01T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Diepenbeek","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€70","organisation":"Folk In Limburg","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing in Geleen","details":"Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.\n\nMusac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.\n\nMusac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.

bal in De Omval in Diemen\nHet is weer tijd voor een groot bal in Diemen, in de vertrouwde locatie De Omval. En we hebben een stevig programma in elkaar gezet:\n\n14:00 Deuren gaan open\nDe bereikbaarheid van De Omval is heel goed. Het ligt op 10 minuten lopen van NS Station Diemen (niet Diemen Zuid dus!!) en 10 minuten lopen vanaf tramlijn 19. En in de omgeving van De Omval is het op zondag vrij parkeren, op de zones voor vergunninghouders na. Wil je overdekt staan dan kun je gebruik maken van de (betaalde) parkeergarage tegenover De Omval.\nJe wordt ontvangen in de foyer en je kunt gebruik maken van de garderobe.\n\n\n\n14:30 - 15:30 Dansintroductie\nDe dansintroductie wordt verzorgd door de juffen Gepke en Berend. De instructie wordt live begeleidt door PFM! Beginners kunnen na de introductie met een aantal dansen prima meekomen en het gehele bal meedoen.\n\n15:30 - 16:15 Bal met PFM!\nAansluitend op de introductie speelt PFM! bal.\nTrio PFM is een balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 is ontstaan en bestaat uit Frans (Natuurkunde), Maurits (Lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek) en Pieter (Elektrotechniek). Naast compositorisch nodeloos ingewikkelde bètanummers staan er ook rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven op het menu. Deze klinken op klarinet, viool, gitaar en trekzak. De nummers zijn voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden.\n\n16:30 - 18:30 Broes\nBroes begon als een kwartet in oktober 2009 op de straten van de Gentse binnenstad. Broes brengt eigen composities die geïnspireerd zijn door folk en jazz. Ze zijn ijzersterk in vingervlugge virtuositeit, afwisselende arrangementen en straf samenspel tout court. En dat is duidelijk te horen op hun nieuwe album.\nIn 2015 lanceerden ze hun eerste album, vol eigen composities, getiteld “Route du Soleil” en in dit jaar de CD \"Botanist\"\n\n18:30 - 19:30 Picknick in de foyer\nEen Balfolk Picknick is iets om mee te maken: Alle balfolkies komen naar het bal met een gerecht en dat delen ze met elkaar. De een maakt een pasta salade, de ander bakt een taart, iemand neemt stokbrood mee of iets om daar dan weer op te smeren. Alles mag! Hoe er wel rekening mee dat veel balfolkies vegetariër zijn dus geef aan of er vlees in zit. Na de picknick ruimen we alles netjes op, vegen de kruimels weg en gaan weer dansen met nieuwe energie!\n\n19:30 - 21:30 EmBRUN\nEen avond met EmBRUN? Da’s een volle tent, een enthousiast publiek. Dansend op de tonen van een moderne folkband op volle kracht. Het ene moment stomend en swingend, het andere heerlijk intiem. Een goed geoliede vijfcilinder: ritmisch strak, melodisch verrassend. En met genoeg kilometers op de teller om hun energie op elk publiek over te brengen.\nEmBRUN is sinds 2003 een vaste waarde in de Belgische en Europese folkscene. Vanaf hun eerste optreden verrasten ze vriend en vijand met hun kijk op folk in de 21ste eeuw. Gestoeld op traditie maar vanaf dag 1 doorspekt met progressieve klanken en ritmes. Hun 20ste verjaardag vieren ze met een tournee door Europa.\n\n21:30 - 22:30 Jam sessie in de foyer tijdens het opruimen\nAan ieder bal komt een eind en dat betekent de zaal opruimen, podium afbreken, stoelen weg, vegen etc. Het is fijn als je dan even wilt helpen!\nHeb je je instrument bij je dan kan je ook in de foyer collega muzikanten opzoeken en samen jammen. Dat is een fijne begeleiding bij het afsluitende drankje.\nRond 22:30 gooien we iedereen er uit zodat alle balfolkies ook nog een beetje op tijd in bed liggen.","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/diemerbal-met-pfm-broes-en-embrun","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/bal-in-diemen/","https://www.facebook.com/events/692791409077368/"],"start":"2023-02-05T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-05T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Diemen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["PFM!","Broes","EmBRUN"],"price":"€27.50-€37.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Norwich RSCDS","details":"Club Night","links":["https://www.rscds-norwich.org.uk/"],"start":"2023-02-06T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-02-06T21:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Norwich","styles":["scd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Norwich RSCDS","source":"events/uk/norwich.yaml"},{"name":"Eurodance Faversham","links":["https://www.kerryfletcher.co.uk/dates-news"],"start":"2023-02-06T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2023-02-06T21:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Faversham","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"Eurodance Faversham","source":"events/uk/faversham.yaml"},{"name":"Bath French Session","details":"Tunes and dancing.","links":["https://bathfrenchsession.wordpress.com/","https://www.facebook.com/events/846211889939443/"],"start":"2023-02-06T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-02-06T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Bath","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Bath & Bristol French Sessions","source":"events/uk/bristol_bath_french_session.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Express trial lesson","details":"Op 7 februari is er een proefles voor de nieuwe lessenreeks van Balfolk Express. Er wordt lesgegeven in twee groepen.\n\nJe kan je hier aanmelden.\n\nBij Balfolk is het wisselen tussen danspartners gebruikelijk. Daarom hoef je je niet aan te melden met een danspartner.\n\n\n\n\n\nGroep 1: Getting into Balfolk\n\nIn deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.\n\nDeze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey\n\nIn deze groep gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.\n\nHet doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.\n\nVoor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.\n\nDocenten\n\nDe lessen worden gegeven door Marc Meijerink en geassisteerd door Jolieke Kessels.\n\nData\n\nVan 7 februari tot en met 27 juni is er wekelijks les op dinsdagavond, met uitzondering van de vakanties.\n\n\n\n\n\nZaal open: 19.00\nGroep 1: 19.15 – 20.30\nGroep 2: 20.45 – 22.00\n\nKosten\n\nVoor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.\n\nDe kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €210,- voor 19 lessen. Wil je beide groepen volgen? Neem contact op om te kijken of dit bij je past. Korting voor het volgen van beide groepen is in overleg mogelijk.\n\n\nBereikbaarheid\n\nOnze locatie is bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer en de auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein van de sporthal.\n\n\n \n\nHeb je nog vragen?

Kom naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam. Met live begeleiding door Wouter Kuyper.\n<<Koop hier je ticket>>\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?\nLesdata\nDeze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.\n\nReguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 22 februari t/m 3 mei. Op 22 maart is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 10 mei.\n\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.\nOpgeven en kosten:\nDe proefles kost € 5,- je mag voor dit bedrag de hele avond aanwezig zijn en met alle groepen meedoen. Je kan alvast reserveren, maar als je op het allerlaatst besluit betaal je gewoon aan de deur. Kom!\nNa de proefles kan je je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op balfolkamsterdam.nl.\nGa je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\n\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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 februari 2023 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.\n<<Boek hier de lessen>>\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen. Aan bod komen o.a.: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we oefenen een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen o.a. de wals, mazurka, bourree in 2, rondeau-en-couple en meer Bretonse dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We gaan in op moeilijker en minder bekende dansen. Daarnaast gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Hoe houd je contact in de bourree in 3?\nLessen\nDe serie lessen bestaat uit 10 lessen op de woensdagavond. Er is iedere week les van 22 februari t/m 3 mei. Op 22 maart is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 10 mei.\nDe kosten voor de reeks van 10 lessen bedraagt € 110,-. Je kunt ook twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\nJe schrijft je in voor de serie lessen via de website https://balfolkamsterdam.nl.\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-256-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-02-23T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-23T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"The

26 februari 2023 weer een Balfolk-middag plaats. Dit keer met als speciale muzikale gasten, de groep ‘PFM!’.\nPFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar. Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde Gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!\n\nDaarnaast zal ook het vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) spelen. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse en vlaamse Balfolk muziek. Er zullen tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies geven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.\n\nHet bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen.\n\nEntree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-op-zondagmiddag-in-enkhuizen-van-2-tot-5-2/"],"start":"2023-02-26T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-26T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Enkhuizen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["AdHoc Orkest","PFM!"],"price":"€7","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Gran Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/846321476669082/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_b9LlaNJ1bhNMuxa3IcC4ZaXnVP3KTTDXkCLjlxxOBpKUDw/viewform"],"start":"2023-02-26T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-26T21:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Padua","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Pitularita"],"organisation":"Uno È la Danza","source":"events/italy/padova.yaml"},{"name":"Cam-French music and dance session","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1139331503435810/"],"start":"2023-02-26T14:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-02-26T17:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"Cam-French","source":"events/uk/camfrench.yaml"},{"name":"Sunday Afternoon Masterclass","links":["http://www.contrafusion.co.uk/Saturday.html#P"],"start":"2023-02-26T14:30:00+00:00","end":"2023-02-26T16:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Maidstone","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"callers":["John Sweeney"],"price":"£6","organisation":"Contrafusion","source":"events/uk/contrafusion.yaml"},{"name":"Brattleboro Bal Folk","links":["https://www.rachelbellmusic.com/calendar"],"start":"2023-02-26T18:30:00-05:00","end":"2023-02-26T21:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Guilford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Eloise & Co."],"organisation":"Rachel Bell","source":"events/usa/guilford.yaml"},{"name":"Concerto balfok","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/547511077152712/"],"start":"2023-02-27T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-27T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Genoa","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["DuOblique"],"organisation":"TriOblique","source":"events/italy/genoa.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://www.facebook.com/folk.gang.amadeus/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1647"],"start_date":"2023-02-28","end_date":"2023-02-28","country":"Belgium","city":"Louvain-la-Neuve","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Folk Gang Amadeus"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Liberál","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1152006732052713/1152006818719371/"],"start":"2023-02-28T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-02-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"50 CZK","organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Contredanses","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/937937593900761/937937607234093/"],"start":"2023-03-01T19:00:00+13:00","end":"2023-03-01T20:30:00+13:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"$10","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Folkdanscursus","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1421","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1454"],"start":"2023-03-01T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-01T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Diepenbeek","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€35-€70","organisation":"Folk In Limburg","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing in Geleen","details":"Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.\n\nMusac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.\n\nMusac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.

Als trio (Adriaan van Wonterghem, Davy Cautaerts en Pavel Souvandijev) hebben ze vaker Micheal Boere en Wout van Liedekerke als versterking gevraagd en vanuit die samenwerking hebben ze hebben toen de naam 'Aérokorda et les Autres' bedacht.\nNa verschillende optredens en een hoop tijd samen doorgebracht te hebben, zijn deze vijf mannen goede vrienden geworden en hebben ze besloten om verder te gaan als een band op zichzelf. Deze band zou los komen te staan van Aérokorda in zowel stijl als ambitie en zo met een hoop inspiratie en motivatie, is Sanseveria gecreëerd.\nDeze vijf mannen combineren hun eigen composities met Celtic trad en zo creëren zij een mooie mengeling van verschillende culturen, geluiden en met name een andere innovatieve blik op traditionele muziek.

De huidige openingstijden vind je op https://p60.nl/cafe .\n\nPoppodium P60 heeft een grote zaal met een groot podium en een bar, hier zal gedanst worden. De vloer is geen danszaal-vloer, maar wel dansbaar. Verder is er een foyer met bar en een zithoek. Hier kun je wat rustiger zitten en wat kletsen.\n\n\n\nLocatie & bereikbaarheid:\nPoppodium P60\nStadsplein 100a, 1181 ZM Amstelveen\n\nIs P60 makkelijk te bereiken met het OV?\nP60 ligt naast het Amstelveen Busstation (nog geen minuut lopen). Hier zijn verschillende buslijnen naar Amsterdam Centrum, Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena, Amsterdam Zuid, Schiphol, Uithoorn, Mijdrecht, Kudelstaart. Aalsmeer, Hoofddorp en Haarlem.\nVoor meer informatie kun je een kijkje nemen op de 9292!\n\nZijn er parkeerplaatsen rondom P60?\nLiever met de auto? Naast P60 is de parkeergarage Q-park Stadsplein. Hier kun je 24/7 in- en uitrijden.\n\nKan ik mijn spullen opbergen in de garderobe?\nEr zijn lockers naast de garderobe. Het gebruik ervan kost € 2,00 en de munten ervoor kun je pinnen bij de garderobe. De afmetingen van een locker zijn 20cmx30cm en 35 cm diep. Daarmee passen er ongeveer 2 jassen in.\nWel even scherp zijn als je je jas in de locker doet, want eenmaal geopend zul je opnieuw een munt in de locker doen om deze weer te gebruiken.\n\nIs er Wifi aanwezig?\nHet pand is volledig voorzien van goedwerkende WIFI. De inloggegevens hangen bij de barren in het pand.\n\nKijk voor overige vragen op de P60 FAQ .\n\nWat is balfolk?\nNog niet bekend met balfolk? Dan zal ik eens even uitleggen wat balfolk is! Bij balfolk dans je oude volksdansen uit West-Europa die in groepen of duo’s gedanst worden. Doordat je bij sommige dansen van partner wisselt tijdens de dans, leer je snel nieuwe mensen kennen en kan je makkelijker contact maken met ze! Wees niet bang als je nog nooit aan balfolk hebt meegedaan! Er zijn altijd mensen die je willen helpen het te leren en in alle dansen zit veel herhaling. Als je eenmaal de basis kent, kun je variaties gaan proberen. Je hoeft geen speciale kledij aan, als het maar lekker zit en je er vrij in kunt bewegen!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/celtcast-fantasy-awards/"],"start":"2023-03-04T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-04T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Sanseveria"],"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"St.

Docent deze week is Paulo, hij gaat met ons aan de slag met de dans 'Zelda' en mogelijk nog wat andere bijzondere dansjes uit de balfolk.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-257-rotterdam-zelda-en-andere-bijzondere-dansen/"],"start":"2023-03-09T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-09T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"The

Samen leer je het beginsel van een dans die veel inspiratie biedt voor meer gebruikelijke parade dansen… Het is verstandig om gladde schoenen mee te nemen, zeker voor de volgers. Mocht je minder willen of kunnen draaien, maak je geen zorgen! Tessel en Xander leren je ook een draaiarmere variatie aan.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken.

Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met de trekharmonica en speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel zijn eigen composities. Wouter houdt van bals en van dansen en heeft in de loop der jaren een geweldig balrepertoire opgebouwd waarop heerlijk gedanst kan worden.\n\nOns oude vertrouwde Ad Hoc Orkest, de huisband van het Balfolk in Enkhuizen, is natuurlijk ook weer van de partij. Zij spelen traditionele balfolk muziek, veelal uit Frankrijk.\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.

Docent deze week is René. We gaan aan de slag met de bourree in twee, het vervolg. Hoe kun je 'spelen' met deze dans en je partner en wat is er qua variaties eigenlijk mogelijk behalve dan vier keer naar elkaar toe en van elkaar af en dan om elkaar heen? Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de eerdere lessen en de komende les, maar is uiteraard ook 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-259-rotterdam-bourree-in-2-variaties/"],"start":"2023-03-23T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-23T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1551","https://www.facebook.com/groups/1543588245878404"],"start":"2023-03-23T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-23T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Czwartkowe Wprawki Balfolkowe","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/604523521598476/604523538265141"],"start":"2023-03-23T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-23T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"15 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"XXXI FEST-i-BALL","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1020591141990948/"],"start":"2023-03-23T21:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-03-26T23:59:00+01:00","country":"Portugal","city":"Lisbon","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Tradballs","source":"events/portugal/tradballs.yaml"},{"name":"Bal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1536"],"start_date":"2023-03-24","end_date":"2023-03-24","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Bal & Gambettes"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tessicku's BouncingBirthdayPartyBall!","details":"**English Below**\n==============\n\n\nTer ere van Tess haar verjaardag, een gratis bal in Utrecht om het te vieren!\n\nDe entree is gratis, maar plekken zijn beperkt.

Daarnaast heb ik een aantal jaren mijn verjaardag niet gevierd en vond ik het daarom tijd om er dit jaar een GROOT FEEST van te maken! Daarom een VerjaardagsStuiterBal, met (balfolk-)dansen, een potluckpicknick en livemuziek!\nEn dat gaat ook gebeuren: vrijdag 24 maart om 16:00 bij St. de Moira, Wolvenstraat 10, 3512 CH Utrecht.\nAls je nog nooit aan balfolk hebt gedaan, zorg dan dat je er om 17:00 bent! Dan is er een balfolkintroductieworkshop, waarin je kennismaakt met het balfolkdansen wat ik o-zo-graag doe.\nHet bal duurt tot 22:30 uur.\nTussendoor zal er tijd zijn om te eten. Als iedereen wat te eten en een bordje meebrengt, maken we er (zoals traditioneel bij bals in de Moira;)) een uitgebreide gezamenlijke picknick van. Neem geen drinken mee, dat is verkrijgbaar bij de bar!\nOmdat dit mijn verjaardagsbal is hoeven er natuurlijk geen kaartjes gekocht te worden om de bands te betalen;). Maar.. Wil je alsjeblief wel even laten weten of je komt (en +hoeveel?)? Want: VOL=VOL!\nBen je balfolker en wil je graag komen dansen? Dan ben je van harte welkom, maar vul wel even het aanmeldingsformulier in (komt nog;))\nVerder krijg ik nu best veel de vraag of ik nog wensen heb... Mijn allergrootste wens is het geven van dit feestje, dat alle lieve mensen in mijn omgeving die iets voor me betekenen komen en dat het een stuiterknalbalfeest wordt om nooit te vergeten! Dus twijfel je over wat je me wilt geven? Zorg dan dat je er bent! Verder weten jullie dat ik al teveel spullen heb, dus alsjeblieft geen materiële cadeautjes! (Althans niet voor mij – voor de konijntjes mag wel:P) Wil je me toch iets kado geven? Neem me dan met je mee op een uitje, ergens naartoe (verras me maar!)\nDresscode: dans/uitgaanskleding and a touch of *glitter*\n\n\n==============\n\nIn honor of Tess her birthday, a free ball in Utrecht to celebrate!\n\nYou can join for free (cancelling last-minute will cost you though), but spaces are limited, so make sure to sign up here:\nGoogle Forms\n\nTo stay up to date with  updates, keep an eye on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/events/5725508644211551\n\nProgramma:\n16:00 - Doors open\n16:30 - Dance workshop\n17:45 - Opening ball + Kelten Zonder Grenzen\n19:30 - Potluck picnic\n21:00 - Wim te Groen\n\n \n\n\nDearest family, friends and balfolk dancers. Like you all know I (Tess) have got a lot to celebrate right now: I am (as-good-as-completely-)recovered from my accident in 2021 and I graduated during the pandemic! Next to that I did not celebrate my birthday for a couple years, so it’s time for a BIG PARTY this year! So I organize a Birthday Ball, with (balfolk)dancing, a potluck picknick and live-music!\nThis will happen: Friday the 24st of March 2023, 16:00 at St. de Moira, Wolvenstraat 10, 3512 CH Utrecht.\nIf you’ve never had the chance to do balfolk dancing, make sure you’ll be there at 17:00! Then there is a balfolkintroduction workshop where balfolk dancing will be introduced (what I so love to do!)\nThe ball is finished at 22:30.\nThere will be time to eat dinner. If everybody brings a plate and something to eat, we will make a nice, communal potluck picknick (the way like is traditional with balls at the Moira). Don’t bring your own drinks, we have a bar!\nBecause this is my Birthday Ball there’s no need to buy a ticket in order to pay the band;). But, please let me know if you’re coming (and with +how many)? Because: FULL=FULL. Are you a balfolk dancer and you love to join this ball? You’re more then welcome to, but could you fill in the registration form, please? (still coming)\nA lot of people ask me my what I wish for my birthday.. My greatest wish is to give this party, that all the sweet people in my environment who mean something to me will be there and that this will become a BouncingPartyBall that’s not easily forgotten! So, if you have doubts about what you could give me – Make sure you’ll be there! And, like you all know – I have too much stuff already, so please no materialistic presents (alright, not for me – for the bunnies it’s okay:P). Would you like to give me a present anyway? Please, take me somewhere out (I’ll let you surprise me;))\nDress-code: dancing/party-clothing and a touch of *glitter*","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/verjaardagtess2023/","https://www.facebook.com/events/5725508644211551/"],"start":"2023-03-24T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-24T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Kelten zonder Grenzen","Wim te Groen"],"price":"free","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk with Vincenzo Caglioti","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1112698126061561/"],"start":"2023-03-24T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-24T19:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Cremona","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Vincenzo Caglioti"],"organisation":"Balfolk nella Bassa","source":"events/italy/cremona.yaml"},{"name":"Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio","details":"Op vrijdagavond 24 maart kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, op de live-muziek van Androneda, in de studio van De Doelen. \n\nAndroneda is een Nederlandse balfolkband met Wouter Kuyper op trekzak en doedelzak, Patricia Swart op saxofoon en Lenny de Rooy met doedelzak en zang. De band speelt traditionele West-Europese dansmuziek, maar dan op een hedendaagse manier. Zij brengen grotendeels eigen composities ten gehore. De arrangementen zijn speels en spannend; de nummers energiek en swingend, maar ook regelmatig intiem, met melodieën die blijven hangen. Het centrale uitgangspunt in de muziek is altijd de dansbaarheid ervan. \n\nSessie\nNa het optreden van Androneda is er ruimte en mogelijkheid tot sessie spelen, dus neem vooral je instrumenten en muzikantenvrienden mee. \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\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. Reserveren is fijn, zodat we weten hoe gezellig het gaat worden, maar is niet verplicht. \n\nProgramma\n20:00: Start dansuitleg\n20:45: Bal met Androneda!\n22:15: Start van sessie\n23:00: Einde sessie\n23:30: Deuren sluiten\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. \n\nEten\nVoorafgaand aan het bal een hapje eten is mogelijk. In De Doelen zelf kun je aanschuiven bij het buffet van Maher’s kitchen vanaf 18.00 uur. Daarvoor moet je wel even reserveren.  In de omgeving van De Doelen is ook ruim voldoende horeca aanwezig voor iets te eten vantevoren.\n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

aan nieuwe (dans)energie! Wat is dan beter dan een bal in de Junushoff met twee geweldige Franse bands?!\n\nLa Réveilleuse (‘de ontwaker’) is een energiek en lumineus duo bestaande uit Camille Lachenal (zang, clarinet) en Simon McDonell (gitaar). Zij verzorgen een bal vol levensverhalen, vrouwen en eeuwenoude bomen. De zelfgeschreven teksten van Camille, door Simon verwerkt in folkarrangementen, nodigen uit om een repertoire van originele liedjes te ontdekken, geïnspireerd door traditionele dansmuziek. Betreed de kring van vrouwen, ontmoet La Réveilleuse bij het draaien in een wals, dans een mazurka onder een kastanjeboom en verlies jezelf in het bos met een avant-deux!\n\nNa de potluck wordt de temperatuur in de Junushoff hoog opgedreven door niemand minder dan Fahrenheit! Alexandre Sallet (diatonische accordeon/stomp box), Remi Kesteman (cello), Simon McDonnell (gitaar/banjo) en Antoine Morin (houten fluit) brengen hun ongebreidelde energie naar de dansvloer. Deze vier zijn naast magnifieke muzikanten ook nog eens sublieme zangers. Hun uiteenlopende roots (o.a. Bretons, Iers, Portugees) zorgen voor een ijzersterk repertoire, waarin traditionele muziek geweldig wordt gemengd met invloeden uit pop en elektronische muziek. Op het podium, van Gennetines tot Cadansa en in heel Bretagne, laat het volle en levendige geluid van het kwartet de dansers zweven op een vloer die oververhit is tot meer dan 96°F!\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg.\n\n\nBetalen kan contant of via Tikkie.\n\n\nTijdens het bal is er een gezellige picknick. Neem hiervoor vooral wat lekkers mee, dan delen we dat met z’n allen. Vergeet je bordje, bestek en opscheplepels niet. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!\n\nVoorlopige planning:\n15:00 Dansinitiatie\n16:00 La Réveilleuse\n18:00 Potluck diner\n19:00 Fahrenheit\n21:00 Einde","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/wageningen-junushoff-8/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1627964730960281/"],"start":"2023-03-26T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-03-26T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Wageningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["La Réveilleuse","Fahrenheit"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Crewkerne","links":["https://balcrew.wixsite.com/balcrewkerne","https://www.facebook.com/events/5833777580044909/"],"start":"2023-03-26T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-26T21:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Crewkerne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"£4","organisation":"Bal Crewkerne","source":"events/uk/crewkerne.yaml"},{"name":"Banter in Chandler's Ford","links":["https://www.wherecanwego.com/item/e1495811/shocc-dances-march-ceilidh-with-banter-barry-goodman"],"start_date":"2023-03-28","end_date":"2023-03-28","country":"UK","city":"Chandler's Ford","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Banter"],"callers":["Barry Goodman"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Immersion","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/804857547863635/804857567863633/"],"start":"2023-03-28T19:00:00+13:00","end":"2023-03-28T20:30:00+13:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"$10","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen EléDanse","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3214923538820931/3214927182153900","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1594","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1595"],"start":"2023-03-28T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-03-28T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€85-€165","organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Docent deze week is Ria. We maken een uitstapje naar een bourree met 8 personen in een rij, de bourrée à 8 de Poisieux. Benieuwd naar deze bijzondere variatie? Meedansen kan! Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de eerdere lessen over de bourree, maar is uiteraard ook 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-260-rotterdam-bourree-in-8/"],"start":"2023-03-30T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-03-30T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1707","https://www.facebook.com/events/1072690717458672/1108594610534949"],"start":"2023-03-30T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-03-30T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["West

Docenten deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. We gaan de slag aan de bourree in 3, de bourree auvergne. Deze is net even anders dan de 'normale' bourree in 2 in rijtjes die we dansen, maar daarom niet minder leuk natuurlijk.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-260-rotterdam-bourree-in-8-2/"],"start":"2023-04-06T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-06T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Pucklechurch

Docent deze week is Isobel. Zij maakt met ons een uitstapje net buiten de balfolk, naar de Amerikaanse contradansen. Veel gelijkenissen met balfolk, maar toch net even anders. Benieuwd? Aansluiten kan!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-262-rotterdam-amerikaanse-contradans/"],"start":"2023-04-13T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Ball","links":["https://www.tanzvolk-leipzig.de/anmeldeformular-remi-geffroy/","https://www.facebook.com/events/2362369190608829/"],"start":"2023-04-13T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Leipzig","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Moore & Moss"],"price":"€6-€15","organisation":"TanzhausFolk","source":"events/germany/tanzhaus.yaml"},{"name":"Special dance in Mezrab","details":"SPECIAL: L&#039;air inconnu en Andrea Capezzuoli in de Mezrab, Ander moment, ander programma, andere prijs.

Fabien is onder andere bekend van Bal'o'gadjo en speelt gitaar en mandoline!\n\nSamen zijn ze een creatief muzikaal trio. Ze maken muziek ten dienste van de moderne traditionele dans, en nieuwsgierige oren.\n\nHun composities en arrangementen van traditionele thema's zijn geïnspireerd door emoties en sterke sensaties die worden ervaren op bals en festivals: vreugde van ontmoeting, intieme poëzie, virulentie van geluid, energie van bewegende lichamen, collectieve trance, ...\n\n\n\n \tAndrea Capezzuoli\n\nAccordeonist, zanger, doedelzakspeler, componist, arrangeur, geboren in Milaan in 1970, altijd al bezig geweest met volksmuziek. Hij was de oprichter van vele folkgroepen: in 1991 Terantiqua, met wie hij in 1994 de eerste Folkontest won die werd georganiseerd door de Folkermesse van Casale Monferrato (AL) en in hetzelfde jaar deelnam aan het prestigieuze Interceltic Festival van Lorient in Bretagne; in 1996 La Magiostra, groepslaboratorium van fusie tussen volksmuziek van verschillende oorsprong en moderne muzikale talen; in 1998 Musicanta, de eerste groep die traditionele Italiaanse muziek versmolten met Frans-Canadese klanken; in 2000 Din delòn, met wie hij half Europa toerde en twee cd's opnam.\n\nHij was accordeonist van de groepen Picotage (Franse muziek), 'O Calascione (muziek uit Zuid-Italië) en doedelzakspeler van de oudemuziekgroep La chambre du Roy René.\n\nIn 2006 richtte hij Andrea Capezzuoli e Compagnia op, een veelzijdig project van Italiaanse volksmuziek met besmettingen uit overzeese tradities. Met deze groep betreedt hij momenteel de schermen van de belangrijkste Italiaanse en buitenlandse festivals (Canada, Peru, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Oostenrijk, Nederland, België, Tsjechië, Spanje, Portugal, Zwitserland).\n\nHij is momenteel accordeonist van de formaties: BandaBrisca, Matapuexi.\n\nHij heeft duizend concerten op zijn naam staan, zestien opnames en deelname aan tal van radio- en televisie-uitzendingen, waaronder \"Rolling Madness\" van RAIDUE.\n\nHij is accordeonleraar sinds 1996 met vaste cursussen (Cremona, Canegrate, Novara, CPSM van Milaan) en privélessen. Hij geeft accordeonworkshops in Italië en in het buitenland (België, Nederland, Duitsland, Spanje, Frankrijk).\n\nIn 2012 publiceerde hij een \"Manual of Diatonic Organ\".\n\nIn 2015 maakte hij ook deel uit, in de sectie \"Organetto - Wereldmuziek\", van de jury van de prestigieuze PIF: Internationale Accordeonprijs van Castelfidardo (AN).","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-lair-inconnu/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1162591607707071/"],"start":"2023-04-13T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-13T23:55:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["L'air Inconnu","Andrea Capezzuoli"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Eurosession with Polska workshop","links":["https://eurosession.org.uk/?p=4539","https://www.facebook.com/events/100283726377047/"],"start":"2023-04-13T19:45:00+01:00","end":"2023-04-13T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["scandi","balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Carol Turner"],"price":"£5","organisation":"Sheffield Eurosession","source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Kimmeridge Keilidh","links":["http://www.earwicker.org/about_arish_mel.htm"],"start_date":"2023-04-14","end_date":"2023-04-14","country":"UK","city":"Kimmeridge","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Arish Mel"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Weekend Oxford","links":["https://www.folkweekendoxford.co.uk/","http://www.oxfolk.org.uk/2023/04/16/folk-weekend-oxford.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/181408710962324/"],"start":"2023-04-14T10:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-04-17T01:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["e-ceilidh","balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood","Geckoes","Narthen","Guerilla Ceilidh"],"callers":["Sheena Masson","Jo Freya","Fi Fraser"],"organisation":"Oxfolk","source":"events/uk/oxfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Halsway Contra Dance Weekend","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/halsway-contra-dance-weekend-3/"],"start":"2023-04-14T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-04-16T16:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Nozzy"],"callers":["Rhi Davies","Charlotte Rich-Griffin"],"price":"£175-£285","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Tanz & Folk Festival Berlin","links":["https://www.tff-b.de/","https://www.facebook.com/events/546945243559532/"],"start":"2023-04-14T17:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-16T16:15:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["TFFB Festivalband","Knopfgemurmel","L'air Inconnu","Fior","Rémi Geffroy","Moore & Moss","Lottes Flausen","Stefano Baldan"],"price":"€10-€100","organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Cadences-bal 2nd edition","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/3360663244162026/","https://www.helloasso.com/associations/association-cadencences-coiron/evenements/cadences-bal-2eme-edition"],"start":"2023-04-14T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-16T00:00:00+02:00","country":"France","city":"Lussas","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Chloé","UnKloogged","Folk You","Jérémie Congrega","Labo Bicouses","Bal O'Gadjo"],"price":"€38","organisation":"Cadences Coiron","source":"events/france/lussas.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk im Dotti","details":"Balfolk mit Duo Cassard","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Aktuell.html","https://www.duo-cassard.de/"],"start":"2023-04-14T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-14T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Cassard"],"price":"€15","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Avondbal bij de Muziekstage","details":"Jaarlijks is er in Sint-Michielsgestel een interessant muziekweekend met workshops over balfolk en dansmuziek.

Docent deze week is Rick. Deze week gaan we aan de gang met de wals in 5 en in 8, net even een stapje verder en anders dan de 'standaard'wals in 3. Enige kennis van de wals is mooi meegenomen, maar niet nodig om mee te kunnen doen.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-263-rotterdam-mixers/"],"start":"2023-04-20T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-20T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Pre-festival exercises","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/900700717826506/900700724493172/"],"start":"2023-04-20T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-20T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","http://www.wefolk.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1378"],"start_date":"2023-04-21","end_date":"2023-04-21","country":"Belgium","city":"Marche-en-Famenne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"21.

Moira een korte lesreeks. Er zijn twee lessen van een uur: een les voor beginners die bekend zijn met de basisdansen van balfolk (jig, tovercirkel, scottish, mazurka) en klaar zijn voor meer verdieping in dansen zoals de wals in drie en bourrée in twee: basis-plus dus! Verder is er een groep voor dansers die willen verbreden en verdiepen.\n\nDeze eerste les is een proefles voor als je nog niet zeker bent of je de hele reeks mee wilt doen maar is ook de eerste les van de reeks. Aanmelden voor zowel de proefles als de lesreeks kan hier:\n\nInschrijformulier voor basis-plus\nInschrijfformulier voor verdiepen\n\nMeer details volgen nog op de lessenpagina van Balfolk Utrecht. Hieronder alvast wat praktische informatie:\n\nLesdata:\n24 april\n8 mei\n15 mei\n22 mei\n5 juni\n12 juni\n19 juni\n\nLestijden:\n19.00 deur open\n19.15-20.15: basis-plus\n20.30-21.30: verdiepen\n\nPrijs:\nEen lesreeks kost 80 euro, of 70 euro met korting. Een losse proefles kost 10 euro; als je daarna door wil met de lessen wordt dit van je lesgeld afgetrokken. Betaling gaat contant.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/lesreeks2/"],"start":"2023-04-24T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-24T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€10","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Pucklechurch Folk Dance Club","links":["http://mister.red/dance/bristol.htm#D.AB.20230425"],"start_date":"2023-04-25","end_date":"2023-04-25","country":"UK","city":"Pucklechurch","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"callers":["Pat Hicks"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen EléDanse","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3214923538820931/3214927182153900","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1594","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1595"],"start":"2023-04-25T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-25T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€85-€165","organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk na Andělu","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/903153607382512/903153654049174/"],"start":"2023-04-25T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-04-25T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"100 CZK","organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Eigenlijk zijn “onregelmatige” walsen heel regelmatig, ze zijn alleen net wat anders dan de wals in 3. In deze workshop gaan we ervan uit dat je de wals in 3 al behoorlijk kan, en gaan we aan de slag met 5, 8 en 11. Veel luisteren, voelen en dansen. In het begin misschien ook veel tellen, maar dat hopen we zo snel mogelijk ook weer los te laten, zodat het weer dansen kan worden.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops. Ik doe dit omdat het voor mij heel fijn is als ik van te voren al zeker weet dat er genoeg mensen komen.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/onregelmatige-walsen-halfgevorderd/"],"start":"2023-05-08T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-08T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€27.50-€30","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen EléDanse","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3214923538820931/3214927182153900","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1594","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1595"],"start":"2023-05-09T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-09T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€85-€165","organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk na Andělu","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/903153607382512/903153620715844/"],"start":"2023-05-09T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-09T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"100 CZK","organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Birthday party of Murel and Dennis","details":"Op dinsdag 9 mei vieren wij, Murel (28 april jarig) en Dennis (5 mei jarig), samen onze verjaardag.\n\nOmdat deze data dichtbij Beltane vallen, zouden wij het leuk vinden als mensen in de kleuren rood/wit komen.\n\nOm 19.30 is er een workshop om o.a. de cochinchine/zotte kieken beter te leren kennen.\n\nEr zal live muziek verzorgd worden door Duo Baftig en daarna zal gewoon de balfolk playlist aangezet worden.

Docent deze week is Paulo. Hij zal voor ons de \"Branle de Noirmotier\" behandelen en uitleggen, zodat we deze fijne energieke dans goed onder de knie krijgen.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-264-rotterdam-branle-de-noirmotier/"],"start":"2023-05-11T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-11T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"The

Branle Béarnais door Saskia Sportel (alle niveaus)\n\nBranle Béarnais, ook bekend als Branle d'Ossau, is een groep dansen uit het zuid-westen van Frankrijk. In deze workshop gaan we kennismaken met een Branle Béarnais \"en chaine\", in kettingvorm. We verkennen de impuls, passen en het groepsgevoel van deze geweldige dans. De workshop wordt gegeven door Saskia Sportel. Met jaren ervaring in dansen en doceren, en een enthousiasme voor dansen uit midden- en zuid-west Frankrijk, maakt ze haar workshops leuk en toegankelijk. Je hoeft voor deze workshop nog niet bekend te zijn met Branle Béarnais.\n\nBranle Béarnais staat er om bekend dat het even kan duren voordat het 'klikt'. Daarom bouwen we op met verschillende passen: meer en minder simpele varianten.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops. Ik doe dit omdat het voor mij heel fijn is als ik van te voren al zeker weet dat er genoeg mensen komen.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/branle-bearnais-door-saskia-sportel-alle-niveaus/"],"start":"2023-05-15T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-15T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€27.50-€30","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"BalTfolk nodarbības","details":"BalFolk lessons and ball with live music.

Met weinig voorbereiding begonnen ze aan hun eerste optreden, maar na afloop waren de reacties zo lovend dat ze besloten om samen verder te gaan.\nHun repertoire bestaat meestal uit dansbare neo-trad klassiekers en minder bekende composities, maar ook uit eigen composities. De nummers zijn rechttoe rechtaan gearrangeerd zonder veel poespas. Het samenspel en de energie tussen deze twee muzikanten is zeer intens en resulteert in een zeer energiek optreden.\n\nFotocredit\nLuk Dombrecht","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-duo-bucsan-gielen","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-duo-bucsan-gielen/","https://www.facebook.com/events/704604974559903/"],"start":"2023-05-18T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-18T23:55:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Baftig","Duo Bucsan-Gielen"],"price":"€13-€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary2022-23"],"start":"2023-05-18T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-05-18T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-2.50","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","http://www.wefolk.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1383"],"start_date":"2023-05-19","end_date":"2023-05-19","country":"Belgium","city":"Marche-en-Famenne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"1.

prachtig bal in de Junushoff! ;) Twee geweldige groepen zullen ons heerlijk de zomer in laten dansen.\n\nIn februari hebben we ze erg gemist, dus dit bal een herkansing - en we doen er nog een flink schepje bovenop, want dit keer komt KV Express als trio spelen! KV Express is al lange tijd een muzikaal begrip, en wij zijn zeer verheugd dat ze weer bij ons komen spelen. Sophie Cavez (accordeon) en Bo Waterschoot (basgitaar) zorgen voor een fantastische en unieke groove, die ontzettend dansbaar is. De uitmuntende percussie van Alain Josué zet het energieniveau nog een extra tandje bij. Een geweldig bal is gegarandeerd!\n\nExqueezit bestaat uit de twee befaamde accordeonisten Bert Leemans (chromatische accordeon) en Erik de Jong (klavieraccordeon). Bert (bekend van o.a. Airboxes, EmBRUN) beschikt over een omvangrijk balfolk repertoire, terwijl Erik (o.a. Itchy Fingers, Gonnagles) meester is in Schotse en Ierse muziek. De exquisiete combinatie van deze muziekstijlen is geweldig om op te dansen en naar te luisteren. Op Cadansa en de Dansstage stalen ze al de show, in mei mogen we in de Junushoff van ze genieten!\n\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg! Entree: Regulier €20, korting €15. Betalen kan contant of via een QR-code. Reserveren is niet nodig, er zijn altijd genoeg kaartjes beschikbaar.\n\nTijdens het bal is er een gezellige picknick. Neem hiervoor vooral wat lekkers mee, dan delen we dat met z'n allen. Vergeet je bordje, bestek en opscheplepels niet. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!\n\nVoorlopige planning:\n\n15:00 Dansinitiatie\n16:00 Exqueezit\n18:00 Potluck diner\n19:00 KV Express\n21:00 Einde","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/wageningen-junushoff-9/"],"start":"2023-05-21T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-21T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Wageningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Exqueezit","KV Express"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"FolkTanz-Abend","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1329537297899189/"],"start":"2023-05-21T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-21T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Lilù","Claudia & Lippo","Lippo, Claudia, Stoney, Jamie & Steffi"],"price":"€10-€14","organisation":"Manu & Steffi","source":"events/austria/vienna-fta.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk","details":"19:00 Workshop, 20:00 Bal Folk","links":["https://www.folkclub-marburg.de/"],"start":"2023-05-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-21T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Marburg","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["VINTA"],"organisation":"Folkclub Marburg","source":"events/germany/marburg.yaml"},{"name":"Bristol French Session","details":"Tunes and dancing.","links":["https://bathfrenchsession.wordpress.com/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1052049099089063/"],"start":"2023-05-21T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-05-21T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Bath & Bristol French Sessions","source":"events/uk/bristol_bath_french_session.yaml"},{"name":"Mazurka (basic)","details":"22 mei: Mazurka (basis) door Louise Marius (beginners/begonners)\n\nDe mazurka, een hele fijne dans die veel op bals wordt gedanst, maar die vaak in het begin ook wel lastig is. In deze workshop legt Louise op een heldere en speelse manier de basis van de mazurka uit, gaan we veel oefenen met verschillende danspartners, waardoor je daarna een heel stuk makkelijker de dansvloer op kan. Ook de danshouding en connectie zal een belangrijk onderdeel zijn van deze workshop.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops.

Docent deze week is Fulco. Hij maakt met ons een uitstapje naar een fijne combinatie van salsa en balfolk. Genoeg uit te proberen met variaties in bijvoorbeeld scottish, en wie weet zelfs een Cubaanse versie van een cirkeldans met een 'Rueda a la balfolk'. Ervaring met balfolk of salsa is niet nodig, meedansen kan altijd.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-265-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-05-25T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-25T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Bal with Hartwin Dhoore + Ross Grant","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/747245029667915/","https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/#date=2023-05-25&event_id=84358"],"start":"2023-05-25T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-05-25T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Hartwin Dhoore","Ross Grant"],"price":"£10-£20","organisation":"BalFolk Bristol","source":"events/uk/bristol_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary2022-23"],"start":"2023-05-25T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-05-25T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-2.50","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Chippenham Folk Festival","links":["https://www.chippfolk.co.uk/","https://www.facebook.com/events/7705607009510868/"],"start_date":"2023-05-26","end_date":"2023-05-29","country":"UK","city":"Chippenham","styles":["e-ceilidh","contra","balfolk","irish-set","scandi","scd","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Albireo","Banter","Chris Dyer & Tom Evans","Coldharbour","Dave Yeomans, Matt Norman & Marni Rachmiel","Emily & The Simons","English Contra Dance Band","Folk Camps Party Band","Joshua & Benjamin Rowe, Ali Messer & David Ledsam","Kirkophany","Old Spot","Out of Hand","Stradivarious","Urban Folk Theory","Vertical Expression","Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer","Will Allen","WillPower"],"callers":["Andrew Swaine","Bob Morgan","David Wright","Frances Richardson","Jake Wood","Kathryn Wright","Rhi Davies","Rhodri Davies","Victoria Yeomans"],"organisation":"Chippenham Folk Festival","source":"events/uk/chippenham.yaml"},{"name":"FolkMADness Camp","links":["https://folkmads.org/events/camps/folkmadness/"],"start_date":"2023-05-26","end_date":"2023-05-29","country":"USA","state":"NM","city":"Socorro","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Eloise & Co.","Supertrad","The Cheap Shots","The Parson Sisters","Adobe Brothers"],"callers":["David Millstone","Sue Rosen"],"price":"$155-$455","organisation":"New Mexico Folk Music and Dance Society","source":"events/usa/socorro.yaml"},{"name":"Woodfolk Festival 2023","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/467993422108735/"],"start":"2023-05-26T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-05-28T18:00:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Taipana","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Woodfolk","source":"events/italy/woodfolk.yaml"},{"name":"TANZhaus WABE","details":"19:00 Uhr – Tanzeinführungsworkshop mit Thomas Römer\n20:00 Uhr – Bal\nEintritt: Abendkasse 18 Euro regulär, 12 Euro ermäßigt *\nJavallon\nFoto: Javallon\nWenn Javallon zum Tanz aufspielt, kann sich kaum jemand der ansteckenden Spielfreude der drei Musiker entziehen.

In deze workshop gaan we aan de slag met een aantal bretonse dansen die minder vaak gespeeld worden: Kost ar choad, Plinn, Ronde St Vincent, Gavotte de Montagne, Laridee en Ridee. Dit zijn geen ingewikkelde dansen, wat maakt dat deze workshop toegankelijk is voor iedereen die graag wat meer bretons wil dansen.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen.

Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. Zij gaan samen met ons aan de slag met de Sept Sautes (Zevensprong), aangevuld met mogelijk nog andere relatief eenvoudige Sautes Basques.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-266-rotterdam-sept-sautes-en-sautes-basques/"],"start":"2023-06-01T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-01T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Anniversary Scratch Contra","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/630159995652177/"],"start":"2023-06-01T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-01T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Joshua, Sol & Nicky"],"price":"£5","organisation":"Sheffield Scratch Contra","source":"events/uk/sheffield_scratch_contra.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary2022-23"],"start":"2023-06-01T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-01T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-2.50","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Catsfield Steamers in Beckley","links":["http://catsfieldsteamers.co.uk/index.php/bookings/"],"start_date":"2023-06-02","end_date":"2023-06-02","country":"UK","city":"Beckley","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Catsfield Steamers"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Musik- und Tanzfest Krebsow 2023","links":["https://www.boddenfolk.de/musik-und-tanzfest-2023.html"],"start":"2023-06-02T17:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-04T13:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Krebsow","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Pastis","Kombo Kalèsch","SpielMeute","TradTöchter"],"price":"€15-€75","organisation":"BoddenFolk","source":"events/germany/germany.yaml"},{"name":"Bal au Cinex","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.folknammusiquetrad.be/event/bal-au-cinex-12/","https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1384"],"start":"2023-06-02T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-02T23:59:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Namur","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Gédéon","Aïe Mon Pied!"],"organisation":"Folknam Musique Trad","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio","details":"Op vrijdagavond 2 juni kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen is Laouen! \n\nLaouen\nDe wegen van Bert Leemans (chromatische accordeon) en Ies Muller (houten dwarsfluiten, bombarde) kruisten elkaar al vaak in allerlei projecten, en het werd hoogste tijd voor een duo. Voilá, hier is het! In een fijne dynamische melange vloeien Bretonse, Franse en Ierse melodieën, traditioneel en eigen werk, naadloos in elkaar over. De muziek van dit duo brengt je naar een andere wereld en nodigt meteen uit tot dansen.\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\n20:00: Start dansuitleg\n21:00: Bal!\n23:00: Deuren sluiten\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. Je kunt naar binnen bij de hoofdingang aan Schouwburgplein 50, dan word je vanzelf de goede kant op gewezen. \n\nEten\nVoorafgaand aan het bal een hapje eten is mogelijk. In De Doelen zelf kun je aanschuiven bij het buffet van Maher’s kitchen vanaf 18.00 uur. Daarvoor moet je wel even reserveren.  In de omgeving van De Doelen is ook ruim voldoende horeca aanwezig voor iets te eten vantevoren.\n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

gevorderd)\n\nAmber danst al sinds 2001; van klassiek ballet tot street dance, ballroom tot balfolk en West-Europees tot Scandinavisch. Amber heeft een jaar lang in Zweden gestudeerd aan het Eric Sahlström Institutet voor volksdans en -muziek en neemt graag iedereen mee op reis via de dansen en de muziek uit Zweden.\n\nDeze twee lessen (5 en 26 juni) gaan wij aan de slag met de Polska. De ene keer gaan we werken aan een goede basis, hoe zet je een draai in, en hoe kom je daar eigenlijk uit? De andere keer zullen we gaan kijken naar twee variaties die Amber zelf graag danst maar mogelijk niet vaak te zien zijn op de dansvloer. Oftewel, Polska zonder de typische \"polska draai\".\n\nVoor Polska deel 1 is geen voorkennis noodzakelijk, de polska is echter geen makkelijke dans, dus het is fijn als je al wel wat ervaring hebt met dansen en dansles of workshops volgen. Voor Polska deel 2 is het fijn als je al eerder polska hebt geleerd, het is niet erg als je de draai nog niet helemaal beheerst.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting.

Docent deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Dit keer is de beurt aan de kost-ar-choad en de gavotte de montagne, allebei fijn energieke dansjes.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-267-rotterdam-2/"],"start":"2023-06-08T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-08T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"1

Leiden! Dit zomerbal komen Paracetamol en Jeroen Laureyssens voor ons spelen.\n\nJeroen Laureyssens\nJeroen Laureyssens is een multi-getalenteerde Belgische diatonische accordeon speler. Hij speelde al op zesjarige leeftijd muziek en komt uit een muzikale familie. Musiceren, bijzondere composities maken en improvisatie zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van zijn muzikale leven. Hij speelt onder andere in Les Frères d’Eeckère, Duo Brabants-Laureyssens, Cosmo en The Quest, maar deze keer komt hij solo spelen.\n\nParacetamol\nParacetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. 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.

Dit is een van Louise’s favoriete spelletjes. Ons zicht bepaalt een groot deel van onze ervaring, we zien met wie we dansen en hebben daar gelijk ideeën over, we zien hoe andere dansers dansen en denken dan dat we dat ook moeten, etc. Door een blinddoek om te doen kom je in een heel andere ervaring, kan je de muziek beter horen, kan je je partner beter voelen, etc. In deze workshop zijn we bijna de hele tijd geblinddoekt, en gaan we met elkaar op onderzoek in de dans. Hierbij is veiligheid en het kunnen aangeven van je grenzen heel belangrijk.\n\nIk ga er van uit dat iedereen de basis van de veel voorkomende dansen (scottish en mazurka, jig tovercirkel, hanterdro) kent.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops. Ik doe dit omdat het voor mij heel fijn is als ik van te voren al zeker weet dat er genoeg mensen komen.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/zonder-ogen-dans-je-meer-met-blinddoeken-half-gevorderd/"],"start":"2023-06-12T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-12T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€27.50-€30","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen EléDanse","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3214923538820931/3214927182153900","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1594","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1595"],"start":"2023-06-13T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€85-€165","organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Vyšehrad","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1308726996384442/1308727043051104"],"start":"2023-06-13T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"100 CZK","organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar.

De laatste tijd komt deze dans steeds regelmatiger terug op bals. Sommige dansen laten zich beter beschrijven door een filmpje dan door worden, daarom kan je ‘m hier bekijken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0vr8fQoyCQ\n\nHet is een dans die redelijk veel oefening vraagt, en de 2 rollen (leider en volger) zijn behoorlijk verschillend. In de workshop gaan we aan de slag met de basis van de choreografie, en waarschijnlijk is dat, als je nog niet eerder congo gedanst hebt, meer dan genoeg. Voor wie al wel meer ervaring heeft, is er ook de mogelijkheid om de andere rol te leren, en misschien zelfs tijdens de dans van rol te wisselen. Genoeg uitdaging dus op elk niveau.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops.

Docent deze week is Marcel. Het thema deze week is de Rondeau, te dansen in diverse vormen, zowel met z'n tweeën als met een groep.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-269-rotterdam-rondeaus/"],"start":"2023-06-22T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-22T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Weekend Mattstedt","links":["https://www.muehlenhofmattstedt.de/folk-festival"],"start":"2023-06-22T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-25T16:30:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Mattstedt","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Mühlenhof Mattstedt","source":"events/germany/mattstedt.yaml"},{"name":"The Round May Week party","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary2022-23"],"start":"2023-06-22T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-22T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"MuwiFolxTanz Vol.16","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/604987248261949/"],"start":"2023-06-23T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-23T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"MuwiFolxTanz","source":"events/austria/vienna-muwifolxtanz.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk à la Maison Magis","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/239309535148382/239309545148381/"],"start":"2023-06-23T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-23T23:00:00+02:00","country":"France","city":"Paris","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"donation","organisation":"Maison MAGIS","source":"events/france/paris_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","http://www.rzf.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1389"],"start":"2023-06-23T20:15:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-23T20:45:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Alleur","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Raffaele Antonetti","The Mushrooms"],"organisation":"Rif Zans L'Fiesse","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Alcester Contra","links":["https://davidfolk7.wixsite.com/alcestercontras"],"start":"2023-06-23T19:45:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-23T22:45:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Alcester","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["King Kontra String Band"],"callers":["Charlotte Rich-Griffin"],"price":"£4-£10","organisation":"Alcester Contra","source":"events/uk/alcester_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Topette Weekend public bal","details":"Public bal as part of a weekend for musicians.","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/bal-topette/","https://www.facebook.com/events/426805482642427/"],"start":"2023-06-23T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-23T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Topette"],"price":"£6-£12","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Panjandrum in Bournemouth","links":["http://eceilidh.org.uk/cps/gigs/panjandrum-d09860.php"],"start_date":"2023-06-24","end_date":"2023-06-24","country":"UK","city":"Bournemouth","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Panjandrum"],"callers":["Nancy Potts"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Banter in Evesham","links":["https://www.banter.band/gigs/"],"start_date":"2023-06-24","end_date":"2023-06-24","country":"UK","city":"Evesham","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Banter"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Skermish in Kennford","links":["http://www.johnculf.co.uk/hfolk/ceilidhs.htm","http://devonfolk.org/events-diary/"],"start_date":"2023-06-24","end_date":"2023-06-24","country":"UK","city":"Kennford","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Skermish"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"DenneFeest","details":"Dit jaar vieren we de eerste jubileumeditie van Dennefeest.

Amber heeft een jaar lang in Zweden gestudeerd aan het Eric Sahlström Institutet voor volksdans en -muziek en neemt graag iedereen mee op reis via de dansen en de muziek uit Zweden.\n\nDeze twee lessen (5 en 26 juni) gaan wij aan de slag met de Polska. De ene keer gaan we werken aan een goede basis, hoe zet je een draai in, en hoe kom je daar eigenlijk uit? De andere keer zullen we gaan kijken naar twee variaties die Amber zelf graag danst maar mogelijk niet vaak te zien zijn op de dansvloer. Oftewel, Polska zonder de typische \"polska draai\".\n\nVoor Polska deel 1 is geen voorkennis noodzakelijk, de polska is echter geen makkelijke dans, dus het is fijn als je al wel wat ervaring hebt met dansen en dansles of workshops volgen. Voor Polska deel 2 is het fijn als je al eerder polska hebt geleerd, het is niet erg als je de draai nog niet helemaal beheerst.\n\nWorkshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten\n\nVan 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.\n\nHet programma:\n\nDe workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. \n\n8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius\n15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel\n22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius\n29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius\n5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever\n12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius\n19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius\n26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever\n3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius\n\nInschrijven en kosten:\n\nJe kan je los inschrijven voor de workshops, je kan dus zelf kiezen welke workshops je wel of niet mee wil doen. En als je je voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk inschrijft en betaalt krijg je extra korting. Aanmelden gaat door een mail te sturen naar louise@balfolk.nl.\n\nLosse workshops:\nNormaal tarief: 30 euro\nKortingstarief: 27,50 euro\n\nAanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:\nNormaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop\nKortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop\n\nDit tarief geldt alleen voor de workshops waar je je voor hebt aangemeld en die je betaald hebt voor het begin van de eerste workshop die je meedoet. Als je je later bedenkt en nog een extra workshop mee wil doen, dan betaal je het tarief voor losse workshops. Ik doe dit omdat het voor mij heel fijn is als ik van te voren al zeker weet dat er genoeg mensen komen.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/polska-deel-2-half-gevorderd/"],"start":"2023-06-26T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-26T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€27.50-€30","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Topette!! en Bal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1972465553084584/","https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/jam-jar/mon-26-jun-topette-en-bal-84446"],"start":"2023-06-26T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-26T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Topette"],"price":"£9.95-£14.95","organisation":"Topette","source":"events/uk/topette.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen EléDanse","details":"Course","links":["http://eledanse.be/cours/","https://www.facebook.com/events/3214923538820931/3214927182153900","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1594","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1595"],"start":"2023-06-27T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-27T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Genval","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€85-€165","organisation":"EléDanse ASBL","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Vyšehrad","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1308726996384442/1308727023051106"],"start":"2023-06-27T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-27T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Czechia","city":"Prague","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"100 CZK","organisation":"Balfolk.cz","source":"events/czechia/prague.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Tropical","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/nl/event-nl/Bal Tropical/850/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1818","https://www.facebook.com/events/193780429891135"],"start":"2023-06-27T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-27T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Accords Perdus"],"price":"€10-€19","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Docent deze week is René, die met ons in de mazurka zal duiken. Hoe de les precies vormgegeven zal worden, zal afhangen van de samenstelling van de groep zelf. Ideeën of vragen altijd welkom!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-270-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-06-29T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-06-29T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Topette!! en Bal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/2976534772654921/","https://www.wegottickets.com/event/568576"],"start":"2023-06-29T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-29T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Norwich","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Topette"],"price":"£9.90-£15.40","organisation":"Topette","source":"events/uk/topette.yaml"},{"name":"July 4th Session","links":["https://cds-boston-j4weekend.weebly.com/"],"start":"2023-06-29T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2023-07-04T10:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Alchemy","Night Watch"],"price":"$383-$393","organisation":"CDS-Boston Centre","source":"events/usa/pinewoods.yaml"},{"name":"Bals et Roses","links":["https://www.festivalbalsetroses.be/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1351353665707748/"],"start":"2023-06-30T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-02T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Florenville","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Laloy-Letron","Trivelin","EmBRUN","Manäcken","3..4","Filenko","Farem Tot Petar","Kafe Koefet","Naragonia","Bal à Oli","La Rawette","LyraDanz","Shillelagh"],"organisation":"Bals et Roses","source":"events/belgium/bals_et_roses.yaml"},{"name":"Topette Summer Bal","links":["https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/folk-inspiration/topette-summer-bal/2023-06-30/19:30/t-yazoarg","https://www.facebook.com/events/907367750636250/"],"start":"2023-06-30T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-30T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Guildford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Topette"],"price":"£9.76-£14.09","organisation":"Folk Inspirations","source":"events/uk/guildford.yaml"},{"name":"Stegastomp","links":["https://www.contrasaurus.com/stegastomp.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/715739530085807/"],"start":"2023-06-30T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-07-02T16:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Harbury","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Contrasaurus"],"callers":["Bob Morgan","Rachel Shapiro-Wallace"],"price":"£45-£90","organisation":"Contrasaurus","source":"events/uk/harbury.yaml"},{"name":"Cambridge Contra Dance","links":["https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/","https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/programme.html"],"start":"2023-06-30T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-06-30T22:15:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2","organisation":"Cambridge Contra Dance","source":"events/uk/cambridge_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Perfect Cure in Bristol","links":["http://mister.red/dance/bristol.htm#D.AW.20230701"],"start_date":"2023-07-01","end_date":"2023-07-01","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["irish-set"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Perfect Cure"],"callers":["Sharon & others"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Cheltenham Ceilidh Club","links":["http://mister.red/dance/cheltenham.htm#D.DB.20230701"],"start_date":"2023-07-01","end_date":"2023-07-01","country":"UK","city":"Cheltenham","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Cheltenham Ceilidh Band"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Banter in Towcester","links":["https://www.banter.band/gigs/"],"start_date":"2023-07-01","end_date":"2023-07-01","country":"UK","city":"Towcester","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Banter"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Workshop Bretonische Tänze","details":"15:00-20:00 Uhr – Workshop Bretonische Tänze\n\nEintritt: freiwilliger Beitrag in den Hut\n—\nLiebe Freundinnen und Freunde der bretonischen Tänze,\nendlich gibt es wieder einen Workshop für Euch in Berlin.

We sluiten af met Rick en Noelia als docenten, maar het thema en de dansjes die we gaan doen, mogen jullie bepalen! Nog even een fijne samenvatting of herhaling van het afgelopen seizoen voor we de zomer in gaan. Verzoekjes tevoren? Neem even contact met ons op via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, dan kijken we of we dat kunnen doen.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-271-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-07-06T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-06T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Loupiote Festival #3","links":["https://lalanterneprod.fr/loupiotefestival/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1291220758106780/","https://www.helloasso.com/associations/la-lanterne-prod/evenements/loupiote-festival-3"],"start":"2023-07-06T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-09T23:59:00+02:00","country":"France","city":"Gaillac","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia","Vilma Talvitie","Duo Des Cimes","Petit Piment","INUI","Le Gros Trio","La Machine","Balaphonik Sound System","Ivan du Rêve","Forró Da Lua","Roux Matins","Maug x Ginette"],"price":"€70-€150","organisation":"La Lanterne Prod","source":"events/france/france.yaml"},{"name":"Polka workshop and Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/983458609539864/","https://www.facebook.com/events/282967750830552/"],"start":"2023-07-06T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-06T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Warsaw","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["ŠakarMakar"],"price":"20-30 PLN","organisation":"Numinosum","source":"events/poland/warsaw.yaml"},{"name":"Sheffield Scratch Contra","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/258376296773283/"],"start":"2023-07-06T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-07-06T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Sheffield Scratch Contra","source":"events/uk/sheffield_scratch_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Scottish Session I","links":["http://rscdsboston.org/pinewoods-scottish-sessions.html"],"start_date":"2023-07-07","end_date":"2023-07-10","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["scd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Boston Branch, RSCDS","source":"events/usa/pinewoods.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing the Balfolkist Voyager","details":"Voyager Balfolkist Event\r\n\r\n18:00 p.m. - Galata Tower Square (beginning)\r\n19:50 p.m. - Dancing on the Ferry (Karakoy pier-meeting)\r\n21:00 p.m. - Kadikoy Moda Park (Moda 2 Basketball court-meeting)","links":["https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuRaev3ofed/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=="],"start":"2023-07-07T18:00:00+03:00","end":"2023-07-08T00:00:00+03:00","country":"Turkey","city":"Istanbul","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolkist","source":"events/turkey/istanbul.yaml"},{"name":"ComSiBal","details":"Ball","links":["https://comsibal.be/en/events/folkbal_2023_07_07/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1038472777036074/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1743"],"start":"2023-07-07T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-08T01:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Kaz Kan Zie","Plume"],"price":"€10-€20","organisation":"ComSiBal","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Ely Folk Festival","links":["https://elyfolkfestival.co.uk/"],"start":"2023-07-07T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-07-09T23:45:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Ely","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Banter"],"organisation":"Ely Folk Festival","source":"events/uk/ely.yaml"},{"name":"Dances of Plantec","details":"Tijdens Castlefest komt de groep Plantec uit Bretagne spelen!

Zo kijken we deze avond in ieder geval naar de dans Gavotte in verschillende varianten (waaronder de Fisel). We zullen vooral kijken naar versies die makkelijk aan te leren en te dansen zijn. Deze versies bevatten misschien niet alle details van de volledige dans, maar je zult genoeg handvatten mee krijgen om mee te kunnen doen tijdens het optreden van Plantec! Daarnaast kijken we ook nog naar de avant-deux de travers. Als er nog tijd over is, kunnen we de kas ha bahr doornemen. Tenslotte zullen jullie ook een aantal handige tips krijgen over welke bekendere dansen ook gedanst kunnen worden op bepaalde nummers van Plantec.\n\nReserveren of aanmelden is niet nodig.\nHopelijk zien we jullie allemaal op 7 juli!\nPraat ook mee op onze discord https://discord.gg/PzN6y73n.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansen-van-plantec-bretons-voorbereiding-op-castlefest/"],"start":"2023-07-07T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-07T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Zeist","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€5","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Breton dance workshop and balfolk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1663252004118934/"],"start":"2023-07-07T21:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-07-08T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Warsaw","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Yanyk","Mr Folxlide"],"price":"20-30 PLN","organisation":"Numinosum","source":"events/poland/numinosum.yaml"},{"name":"Clandestina","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/937943960772474/"],"start":"2023-07-08T12:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-07-08T14:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Clandestine Mazurka London","source":"events/uk/clandestine_mazurka_london.yaml"},{"name":"Sociallessen season closure","details":"Het balfolkseizoen in Zuid-Holland wordt afgesloten met een zomers sessiebal op zaterdag 8 juli.

Speel jouw (balfolk)muziek voor de dansers en andere muzikanten op de dansvloer en pak je eigen 15 minutes of fame.\n\nDus ben jij muzikant? Wil je graag jouw muziek aan anderen laten horen, wil je oefenen met spelen voor (dansend) publiek of wil je misschien wel eens samenspelen met een andere muzikant? Het kan allemaal!\n\nAanmelden is handig, dan kan er een planning worden gemaakt. Dat kun je hier doen: https://forms.gle/CYpijVRznPW3J2V66\nLukt dat niet? Mail dan naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com jouw naam en welk muziekinstrument jij en je eventuele mede-muzikant(en)spelen.\n\nBal\nBehalve het open podium, komt er ook nog een band live voor ons spelen, namelijk Duo Baftig! Dit duo bestaat uit Manon op viool en Robin op gitaar. Dit duo, met een gedeelde passie voor balfolk en folk muziek speelt meer dan dansbare tunes, een verrassende mix tussen Ierse en Scandinavische melodieën, maar ook eigen composities.\n\nDansuitleg\nVoorafgaand wordt er nog een algemene dansuitleg gegeven voor degenen die nieuw zijn in de balfolk of hun danspasjes nog wat willen oefenen. Na afloop van het bal en de optredens van de andere muzikanten, is er ook nog ruimte voor sessie.\n\nHet volledige programma ziet er als volgt uit:\n17.00 - 18.00: Picknick\n18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00 - 20.00: 15 minutes of fame (deel 1)\n20.00 - 21.30: Bal met Baftig\n21.30 - 22.30: 15 minutes of fame (deel 2)\n22.30 - 23.00: Sessie/afronding\n\nHet bal is in Rotterdam, in tangoschool Cuartito Azul aan de Schoterbosstraat 17. Toegang kost 10 euro. Bij Cuartito Azul kun je bier, fris en wijn tegen schappelijke prijzen verkrijgen, water is gratis verkrijgbaar.\n\nPicknick\nIedereen die mee wil eten met de picknick, neemt iets lekkers mee voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen. Al het eten dat meegenomen is, wordt op één tafel geplaatst, zodat iedereen wat lekkers kan opscheppen. De ervaring leert dat er meestal ruim voldoende is voor iedereen op die manier.\n\nVragen\nHeb je vragen, tips of opmerkingen?

Om de ontwikkeling en instandhouding van de folkmuziek in de Zaanstreek en omgeving gestalte te geven.\nHet programma omvat ook dit jaar een hoofdpodium, een kleiner – open – podium en een balfolk podium. En er wordt gezorgd voor kindervertier en voor muziek op onverwachte plekken.\nDe eerste namen kunnen al bekend worden gemaakt: The Old Time String Band en De Band Zonder Toekomst treden aan. Beiden speelden met veel succes al op eerdere edities van het ZaanFolk Festival.\nHet toegang is gratis, maar een vrijwillige bijdrage wordt erg op prijs gesteld. Daarvoor worden kaartjes uitgedeeld waarmee een donatie naar keuze kan worden gedaan.

Zo kijken we deze avond in ieder geval naar de dans Gavotte in verschillende varianten (waaronder de Fisel) en mogelijk ook de Laride Gavotte. We zullen vooral kijken naar versies die makkelijk aan te leren en te dansen zijn. Deze versies bevatten misschien niet alle details van de volledige dans, maar je zult genoeg handvatten mee krijgen om mee te kunnen doen tijdens het optreden van Plantec! Deze workshop is het vervolg op de workshop van 7 juli. Het is niet noodzakelijk dat je deze eerdere workshop hebt gevolgd.

De band die komt spelen is Stockholm Syndrome. En natuurlijk bieden we ook ruimte voor muzikanten om sessie te spelen, dus nodig gerust muzikantenvrienden uit en vergeet niet je muziekinstrument mee te nemen als je zelf speelt.\n\nStockholm Syndrome\nStockholm Syndrome bestaat uit Judith Be (viool) en Sebastiaan West (piano, accordeon). Ze spelen heerlijke balfolkmuziek met een lekker dosis Zweedse vibes. Hun sound wordt alom gewaardeerd.\nJudith Be is op haar zevende begonnen met klassiek vioolspelen, maar leerde al snel de Ierse volksmuziek kennen. Ze heeft deelgenomen aan veel cursussen en zomerkampen op het gebied van volksmuziek en wereldmuziek, waar ze kennis heeft gemaakt met veel verschillende muziekstijlen. In 2019 is ze naar Zweden gegaan om daar een opleiding te doen in de Zweedse volksmuziek.\nSebastiaan West speelt zijn hele leven al piano en is de afgelopen jaren verliefd geworden op de accordeon, en vooral op de Ierse accordeonstijl. Hij is opgegroeid in Vermont, waar hij deel uitmaakte van een rijke en multiculturele gemeenschap van volksmuzikanten, bestaand uit Ierse, Queceboise, Schotse, en Amerikaanse tradities; in deze gemeenschap heeft hij leren samenspelen en luisteren.\n\nProgramma\n17.00 – 18.00: Picknick\n18.00 – 19.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00 – 20.30: Bal!\n20.30 – 22.30: Sessie\n\nSessie\nOok deze keer is er, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent in Rotterdam, weer genoeg ruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee! Uiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nDe picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf geregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat wordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor gratis kannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee naar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en bestek zijn niet per se nodig.\n\nPrijs\nDe toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon.

Van 5 september tot en met 30 januari zal er wekelijks les zijn op dinsdagavond.\n\nVoor meer informatie en aanmelden: www.balfolkexpress.nl/lessen \n\nGroep 1: Getting into Balfolk\n\nIn deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.\n\nDeze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey\n\nIn groep 2 gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.\n\nHet doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.\n\nVoor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDocent\n\nDe lessen zullen gegeven worden door Marc Meijerink, geassisteerd door Jolieke Kessels.\n\nTijden\n\nDe lessen worden elke dinsdag avond gegeven.\n\n19:00       | Zaal open\n19:15 – 20:30 | Groep 1\n20:45 – 22.00 | Groep 2\n\nAdres\n\nCafé Tropical\nVerlengde Hoogravenseweg 203\n3523 KJ Utrecht\n\nDe auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein.\n\nKosten\n\nVoor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.\n\nDe kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €210,- voor 18 lessen.

Kom naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam. Met live begeleiding door Wouter Kuyper.\n<<Koop hier je ticket>>\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?\nLesdata\nDeze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.\n\nReguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 20 september t/m 29 november. Op 25 oktober is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 6 december.\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven door Frans, Gepke, Berend, Manon, Jason en Erno.\nOpgeven en kosten:\nDe proefles kost € 5,- je mag voor dit bedrag de hele avond aanwezig zijn en met alle groepen meedoen. Je kan alvast reserveren, maar als je op het allerlaatst besluit betaal je gewoon aan de deur. Kom!\nNa de proefles kan je je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op balfolkamsterdam.nl.\nGa je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\n\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook.

Het thema van deze socialles is de tovercirkel. Natuurlijk ook de basis, maar wat kun je er nog meer mee als je die onder de knie hebt? Hoe zit dat met die verschillende draaihoudingen en valt er nog meer leuks uit te halen met z'n allen? Docent deze week is Noelia.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken.

In september 2023 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.\n<<Boek hier de lessen>>\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen. Aan bod komen o.a.: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we oefenen een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen o.a. de wals, mazurka, bourree in 2, rondeau-en-couple en meer Bretonse dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We gaan in op moeilijker en minder bekende dansen. Daarnaast gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Hoe houd je contact in de bourree in 3?\nLessen\nDe serie lessen bestaat uit 10 lessen op de woensdagavond. Er is iedere week les van 20 september t/m 29 november. Op 25 oktober is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 6 december.\nDe kosten voor de reeks van 10 lessen bedraagt € 110,-. Je kunt ook twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.\nJe schrijft je in voor de serie lessen via de website https://balfolkamsterdam.nl.\nTijdstippen\n18.45 Deur open\n19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)\n19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen\n20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)\n21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)\n\nDocenten\nDe lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke, Frans, Manon, Jason en Erno.\nKleding\nKleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook.

Het thema deze week is de jig of gigue. Een fijne groepsdans, waar nogal wat variaties in mogelijk zijn. Deze les is de basis aan bod, gevolgd door een aantal relatief eenvoudige variaties, zodat je net wat meer kunt dan alleen een enkele draai met z'n tweeën. Voor degenen die de dans al onder de knie hebben, wat dacht je van deze keer eens van rol wisselen? Volgende week volgt het vervolg op deze les, met extra verdieping. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen. De les wordt gegeven door Rick.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-274-rotterdam-jig-basis-en-eerste-variaties/"],"start":"2023-09-21T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-21T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://balhalla.be/nl","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1839"],"start":"2023-09-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-22T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Gambetta Caputo"],"price":"€11","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van Emily & The Simons en PFM!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met Gepke & Berend\n20:30 Bal met PFM!\n21:00 Bal met Emily & The Simons\n23:00 Sessie\n\nLocatie\nMezrab draagt Balfolk een warm hart toe en nodigt ons iedere maand uit te komen dansen.

Ze ontmoetten elkaar in het Engelse Peak District, op het folkfestival \"Skint\" en begonnen kort daarna samen professioneel op te treden. Hun muziek is gecentreerd rond de composities van Emily, geïnspireerd door ontmoetingen in het leven en de energie van de dansvloer.\n\nHun stijl is zeer expressief en improvisatorisch, vol passie, tederheid en speelsheid. Met een breed repertoire, variërend van verfijnde, sensuele mazurka's tot vrolijke, stuwende bourrées, vervoert hun muziek de verbeelding, beweegt de voeten en verheft de geest.\n\n \tPFM!\n\nPFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar. Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-emily-the-simons-2/","https://www.facebook.com/events/580987764074788/"],"start":"2023-09-21T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-21T23:55:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Emily & The Simons","PFM!"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk","links":["https://eurosession.org.uk/?p=4655","https://www.facebook.com/events/239217608719277/"],"start":"2023-09-21T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-09-21T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia Quartet"],"price":"£10-£15","organisation":"Sheffield Eurosession","source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Arish Mel in Kimmeridge","links":["http://www.earwicker.org/about_arish_mel.htm"],"start_date":"2023-09-22","end_date":"2023-09-22","country":"UK","city":"Kimmeridge","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Arish Mel"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Halsway Harvest Weekend","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/halsway-harvest-weekend/"],"start":"2023-09-22T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-09-24T16:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Dampier's Round"],"callers":["Brian Stanton","Judith Inman","Pat Hicks","Rob Dawson"],"organisation":"Halsway Harvest","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Skeer","details":"Met veel plezier wordt je uitgenodigd voor Skeer!

Deze week gaan we verder met de jig of gigue. We gaan wat verder in op connectie met partner en groep en kijken naar nog meer variaties met elkaar. Heb je deze dans al onder de knie? Kijk dan eens of je van rol kunt wisselen (misschien zelfs wel tijdens het dansen... ). Deze les is het vervolg op die van vorige week, maar beiden zijn los van elkaar te volgen. Docent deze week is Noelia.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-275-rotterdam-jig-verdieping-en-nog-meer-variaties/"],"start":"2023-09-28T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-28T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://www.facebook.com/events/2367862413398099/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1848"],"start":"2023-09-28T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-28T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Special Solent Contra Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/797794665092715/"],"start":"2023-09-28T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-09-28T22:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Winchester","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["English Contra Dance Band"],"callers":["Barrie Bullimore"],"price":"£10","organisation":"Solent Contra Dances","source":"events/uk/solent_contra.yaml"},{"name":"Adirondack Dance Weekend","links":["https://www.danceflurry.org/adirondack-dance-weekend/"],"start_date":"2023-09-29","end_date":"2023-10-01","country":"USA","state":"NY","city":"Silver Bay","styles":["balfolk","contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Red Case Band"],"price":"$150-$675","organisation":"DanceFlurry","source":"events/usa/flurry.yaml"},{"name":"Folkirrika 2023","links":["https://folkirrika.eus/index.php/en/folkirrika-2023-3/"],"start":"2023-09-29T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-01T17:30:00+02:00","country":"Spain","city":"Kuartango","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Adar","Grand Balthazar","DiaTao","Patxi Montero Duo"],"price":"€75","organisation":"Folkirrika association","source":"events/spain/kuartango.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal & Party","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.ccdeplomblom.org/programma/embrun","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1827"],"start":"2023-09-29T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-30T01:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Ninove","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["EmBRUN"],"price":"€8-€16","organisation":"CC De Plomblom","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Musicality workshop #2 — Dancing to the backbeat","details":"Op vrijdag 29 september zullen we bezig gaan met muzikaliteit bij Balfolk Zeist! Aljosha Filippov geeft in oktober 2 workshops over muzikaliteit op het Cenizas festival in Madrid. Wij krijgen bij Balfolk Zeist de eer om ze als eerste te volgen!\nTijdens deze tweede workshop zullen we aan de slag gaan met dansen op de backbeat, ofwel tegentijds dansen. Dit is een interessant, maar soms ook een lastig concept uit de muziektheorie. We zullen deze theorie behandelen aan de hand van een aantal traditionele dansen (pilé menu, rond de Loudeac, branle d'ossau, saut/jautzi, afhankelijk van het kennisniveau in de groep). Hierbij zullen we vooral de betekenis van de backbeat voor de dans en dansers analyseren. Vervolgens kunnen we deze analyse gebruiken om de dans te veranderen en de muziek op een nieuwe manier te interpreteren!\nDe workshop is gericht op dansers zonder (veel) muziekopleiding, maar als muzikant kan Aloshja een diepere context bieden voor degenen die geïnteresseerd zijn. Deze workshop is het vervolg op de workshop van 22 september. Het is niet noodzakelijk dat je deze eerdere workshop hebt gevolgd, maar het is wel aan te raden. Iedereen is welkom en het niveau van de workshop zal aangepast worden op de groep.\n\n𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭:\nDansen maakt sinds 2008 een groot deel uit van Aljosha's leven en sinds 2016 geeft hij ook workshops en lessen. In 2022 begon hij ook met forró en begon hij wekelijks te dansen en festivals te bezoeken. Aljosha is altijd op zoek naar nieuwe ideeën voor zijn lessen, met als doel om het publiek mee te laten dansen. “In de folkscene komen we samen om onze danscultuur te verrijken met onze bewegingen, energie, concentratie én stemmen. Met groepsdansen bieden we de kans om solidariteit in de praktijk te brengen, waardoor we ons gezamenlijk zelfverzekerder en verbonden voelen. Als folkdocent ben ik altijd op zoek naar instrumenten om de (fysieke, sociale en emotionele) barrières te doorbreken tussen dansers en de dans, tussen niet-muzikanten en de muziek en tussen alle mensen.”\nPraat ook mee op onze discord https://discord.gg/PzN6y73n .","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-over-muzikaliteit-2-dansen-op-de-backbeat/"],"start":"2023-09-29T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-29T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Zeist","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€5","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Printbal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/859118468503253/","https://folkfestivalham.be/tickets/Printbal-Filippo-Gambetta-&-Sergio-Caputo-29-september-2023-p534350103/"],"start":"2023-09-29T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-29T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Ham","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Filippo Gambetta & Sergio Caputo"],"price":"€12","organisation":"Folk in Limburg","source":"events/belgium/limburg.yaml"},{"name":"Interactive Folkdance Workshop","details":"Course","links":["https://www.stanistil.be/workshops","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1844","https://www.facebook.com/events/817523716441945"],"start":"2023-09-29T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-30T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Printbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1890"],"start":"2023-09-29T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-29T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Ham","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Gambetta Caputo"],"price":"€12","organisation":"Folkfestival Ham","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Cascade Contras on the River","links":["https://eugenefolklore.org/cascade-contras/","https://www.facebook.com/groups/cascadecontras/posts/10160208421618964/","https://www.facebook.com/groups/cascadecontras/permalink/10160107273273964"],"start":"2023-09-29T18:00:00-07:00","end":"2023-10-01T16:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"OR","city":"Springfield","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Dam Beavers","Bozzy MaCoo"],"callers":["Michael Karcher","Susan Petrick"],"price":"$120-$170","organisation":"Eugene Folklore Society","source":"events/usa/springfield.yaml"},{"name":"Stage Bal Musette","details":"Course","links":["https://www.kasteeldursel.be/bezoek/winterdans.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/1026411122132866","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1734"],"start":"2023-09-30T10:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-09-30T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Bornem","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€50","organisation":"Kasteel D'Ursel","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Hebden Bridge Panards","links":["https://hebdenbridgepanards.uk/"],"start":"2023-09-30T13:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-09-30T17:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Hebden Bridge","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"£3-£7","organisation":"Hebden Bridge Panards","source":"events/uk/french_dance_leeds.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and workshop","details":"Join us on 30 September for the first Balfolk music, dance and social evening of the new season. We are delighted to welcome you back to our monthly balfolk dance evenings, where you can come and learn new dance steps while enjoying the company of other dance fans.\r\n\r\nThis month's event will include a dance workshop for beginners and a three-hour dance evening. During the workshop we will learn how to dance balfolk. You will be able to learn the most popular Balfolk dances : Scottish, Waltz, Circle, Shapelloise, Bourree, Romantic Mazurka, etc.\r\n\r\nBalfolk is the common name for a European folk dance revived and reintroduced in France in the 1970s. The popularity of this relatively young dance is due to the ability of talented musicians to modernise folk music. After discovering the new sound of well-known melodies, people began to dance this dance for themselves rather than to perform on stage. This transformed a traditional dance style into a new, creative and flexible dance that retained the deep-rooted dance steps without losing its community orientation. Today, this style of dance attracts dancers across Europe.\r\n\r\nThe dance workshop will be led by Augustas & Inga\r\n\r\nThe workshop is a great opportunity to improve your dancing skills and learn new moves, and at the dance ball, you will be able to put your knowledge into practice and enjoy the upbeat balfolk music.

Daar moet je dus niet zijn.\n\nAdres:\nTweede van Swindenstraat 26\n1093 VS Amsterdam\n\nBands\n\n \tWouter Kuyper\n\nHet gedurfde trekharmonicaspel en doedelzakspel van Wouter Kuyper staat als een huis!\n\n'Ik ben muzikaal geboren in Gooik'\nOp zijn 10de namen zijn ouders Wouter voor het eerst mee naar Gooik (België). Daar maakte hij kennis met volksmuziek, en heeft hij de verslaving opgedaan die tot op de dag van vandaag nog niet over is. Wouter danst al Bal Folk sinds zijn eerste bezoek aan Gooik en is op zijn elfde doedelzak gaan spelen. Op zijn vijftiende kwam daar de trekharmonica bij. Vanaf zijn zeventiende speelde hij in zijn eerste bandje. Regelmatige bezoeken aan andere festivals en workshops (Saint Chartier, Schier, TeeU etc) hielden het vuurtje warm.\n\nHij maakt er geen geheim van waarom hij zich heeft laten inspireren door oude Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse dansmuziek: 'Ik houd van bals, ik houd van dansen, van de festivals zoals in St Chartier en Gooik. De keus voor balrepertoire is dan snel gemaakt.'\n\n \tStockholm Syndrome\n\nStockholm Syndrome bestaat uit Judith Be (viool) en Sebastiaan West (piano, accordeon). Ze spelen heerlijke balfolkmuziek met een lekker dosis Zweedse vibes. Hun sound wordt alom gewaardeerd.\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!","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/amsterdambal-met-wouter-kuyper-stockholm-syndrome-en-duo-baftig/","https://www.facebook.com/events/294539992907110/"],"start":"2023-10-01T14:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-01T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wouter Kuyper","Stockholm Syndrome","Duo Baftig"],"price":"€17.50-€22.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://tey.be/programma/2023/10/01/duo-filippo-gambetta-sergio-caputo","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1898","https://www.facebook.com/events/1759929791091652"],"start":"2023-10-01T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-01T17:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Belsele","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Filippo Gambetta & Sergio Caputo"],"organisation":"Muziekclub 't Ey","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://www.facebook.com/events/631483792412368/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1852"],"start":"2023-10-01T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-01T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Autumn American Contra Dance Week","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/autumn-american-contra-dance-week-3/"],"start":"2023-10-02T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-06T10:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["English Contra Dance Band"],"callers":["Seth Tepfer"],"price":"£225-£400","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk","details":"Bal Folk with Mara Menzel solo and Duo Pabameto","links":["https://www.folkstanzwirbel.de/events/event/bal-folk-mit-kapelle-honig-f-d-und-pabameto-d/"],"start":"2023-10-02T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-02T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Hamburg","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Mara Menzel","Duo Pabameto"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Folkstanzwirbel","source":"events/germany/hamburg.yaml"},{"name":"Bath French Session","details":"Tunes and dancing.","links":["https://bathfrenchsession.wordpress.com/"],"start":"2023-10-02T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-02T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bath","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Bath & Bristol French Sessions","source":"events/uk/bristol_bath_french_session.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Immersion","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/804857547863635/804857651196958/"],"start":"2023-10-03T19:00:00+13:00","end":"2023-10-03T20:30:00+13:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"$10","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","cancelled":true,"source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Hoe dans je deze fijn samen, wat zijn de fijne kneepjes ervan en wat kun je er eigenlijk verder nog mee? Heb je deze dans al onder de knie? Kijk dan eens of je van rol kunt wisselen voor de variaties. Let op: deze les wordt gegeven in het Engels, maar er zijn ook genoeg mensen aanwezig om voor je te vertalen. Docent deze week is Isobel.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

Mocht dit het geval zijn dan willen we proberen om structureel (1x per maand of 1x per twee maanden) een bal voor jullie te organiseren. Dus… ben er vooral bij!\n\nVoor de bals zullen we altijd een (of meerdere) live optredens organiseren. Daarnaast vinden we de sessies heel belangrijk. We nodigen jullie dan ook van harte uit om jullie instrument mee te nemen voor een sessie aan het eind onder leiding van David Cornelissen (Diedeliedavid)!\n\nOp vrijdag 6 oktober willen we met jullie om 20:00 aftrappen met een kleine dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul & Bo. Jullie kunnen ze kennen van o.a. Wilhelmina waar ze ook altijd vol enthousiasme muziek-workshop organiseren. Onze dank is enorm voor Paul en Bo die ons als beginnend evenement steunen en gratis komen helpen. Wij zetten tijdens het bal wat kleine versnaperingen (+water) neer met een pot ernaast. Het geld dat hierin gedoneerd wordt gaat dan ook naar Paul en Bo!\n\nOm 21:00 zijn we enorm blij en enthousiast over de live act voor de avond , namelijk Wouter Kuyper!\n\nHij gaat ons meenemen in zijn heerlijke nummers waarvan we al zo vaak hebben mogen genieten.\n\nNadat onze benen en spieren vermoeid zijn van een heerlijke avond vol dansen zijn we aangekomen bij de sessie. Zoals eerder aangegeven zal deze zijn onder begeleiding van David Cornelissen. Het zal vooral een spontane sessie zijn waarbij er gekeken wordt naar wat er gebeurt en wat er ontstaat. Eventueel heeft David wat nummers die hij langs wil laten komen.

Geschikt voor complete beginners, ook als je nog nooit hebt gedanst.\n15:30 - 17:00 Optreden op de vleugel van Wim te Groen, waarbij het geleerde meteen in de praktijk kan worden gebracht. Want Balfolk dans je het liefst op live muziek!\n\nEntree is op basis van vrije inloop en gulle gift.\nDocent: Anke Veens (Dancing Bodies)\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop\nIn anderhalf uur neemt Anke je mee door de set aan basis dansen die veel voorkomen op een Balfolkbal. Balfolk wordt eigenlijk altijd op live muziek gedanst. Waarbij er tijdens een optreden verschillende dansen langs komen. Dit zijn groepsdansen op cirkels en in rijen. Maar ook zijn er dansen in koppel, los van elkaar of in danshouding.\n\nHet leuke aan verschillende groepsdansen is dat je tijdens de dans ook van partner wisselt. Je kunt dus alleen komen, je hebt geen (vaste) danspartner nodig. Tijdens deze dansen leer je alle nieuwe gezichten kennen en zul je zien dat je over de avond met heel veel verschillende mensen danst. Het is binnen Balfolk gebruikelijk om na elk dansje van partner te wisselen.\n\nOok het instapniveau voor de dansen ligt laag, de basispassen zijn over het algemeen heel eenvoudig. Maar voor de meer ervaren dansers blijft er uitdaging te vinden omdat er ook veel geïmproviseerd kan worden.\n\nWe zeggen wel vaker; als je kunt lopen kun je meedansen! Al is dat niet helemaal waar want er doen ook regelmatig babies in een draagdoek mee en zelfs als je aan een rolstoel bent gebonden ben je niet uitgesloten op de dansvloer.\n\nOok zijn we wars van een traditionele rolverdeling tussen man en vrouw, leiden en volgen is bij ons niet gebonden aan je geslacht. Iedereen danst met iedereen.\n\nLive muziek\nWim te Groen is danser en pianist. Zijn prachtige eigen gecomponeerde Balfolk melodieën zal hij ten gehore brengen op de vleugel. Natuurlijk mag je gaan zitten luisteren. Maar hij speelt dansmuziek, speciaal geschreven voor dansers! En met de voorafgaande workshop heb je voldoende basis om gewoon mee te kunnen doen.\n\nWil je alvast een voorproefje van zijn muziek? Er zijn verschillende nummers beschikbaar op YouTube en Spotify.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/kennismaking-met-balfolk-en-live-muziek/"],"start":"2023-10-07T13:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-07T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Deventer","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wim te Groen"],"price":"free","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal Voor Cycling For Trees","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1845","https://www.facebook.com/events/1099993664378883/"],"start":"2023-10-07T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2023-10-08T01:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["In Den Klaarten","Le Câlin Et Le Calvin","Naragonia"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk workshop and concert","links":["https://artsreach.co.uk/event/firelight-trio"],"start":"2023-10-07T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-07T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Dorchester","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Firelight Trio"],"price":"£5-£17","organisation":"Artsreach","source":"events/uk/dorchester.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Stroud","links":["https://balfolkstroud.uk/cps/gigs/bastoche-4c11e4.php","https://www.facebook.com/events/125207773985282/"],"start":"2023-10-07T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-07T22:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Stroud","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Dromadaire"],"price":"£10","organisation":"Balfolk dans les Cinq Vallées - Stroud","source":"events/uk/balfolk_stroud.yaml"},{"name":"Cheltenham Ceilidh Collection","details":"Ceilidh held in Cheltenham, come dance play or call","links":["https://www.facebook.com/cheltenhamcb"],"start":"2023-10-07T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-07T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cheltenham","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Cheltenham Ceilidh Band"],"price":"£5","organisation":"Cheltenham Ceilidh Band","source":"events/uk/cheltenham.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Wilde Wereld Wageningen","details":"Op 8 oktober is er weer een bal in Theater De Wilde Wereld in Wageningen.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

oktober zijn we terug van weggeweest en kunnen we weer dansen op de muziek van twee geweldige groepen!\n\nWij zijn heel blij om Nubia aan te kondigen, die hun gloednieuwe CD aan ons gaat presenteren! Nubia bestaat uit Kris van 't Klooster op mandoline en Tim Hofmeester op DADGAD gitaar, en hun grenzeloze muzikale connectie. Met roots in Nederland en met Scandinavische invloeden maakt dit duo muziek om op te dansen, of om bij weg te dromen terwijl je luistert. Dromerig, poëtisch, plezierig en in de wolken: Nubia weet altijd de juiste intieme sfeer te creëren om heerlijk op te dansen. \n\n Man Encantada Duo brengt ons traditionele muziek uit de Gascogne compleet met fantastische Occitaanse zang. De prachtige gezongen melodieën, traditionele teksten en originele composities worden geaccentueerd door de accordeon en mandola. De groep combineert de specialismen van beide muzikanten: Joachim zingt de melodieën uit de Gascogne en zet graag muziek onder gedichten en traditionele teksten uit het zuidwesten van Frankrijk, en Gilles draagt zijn kennis bij van traditionele muziek uit Périgord en het gebied eromheen. De energieke ritmes van Man Encantada zijn ontzettend aanstekelijk en zorgen voor een geweldige danservaring!\n\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg! Entree: Regulier €20, korting €15. Betalen kan contant of via een QR-code. Reserveren is niet nodig, er zijn altijd genoeg kaartjes beschikbaar.\n\nTijdens het bal is er een gezellige picknick. Neem hiervoor vooral wat lekkers mee, dan delen we dat met z'n allen. Vergeet je bordje, bestek en opscheplepels niet. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar.

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.

De artiest die voor ons komt optreden is Bart Praet.\n\nBart Praet speelt uillean pipes, whistles en fluit. Hij is ook bekend van onder andere Elanor en diverse andere muzikale topacts. In De Doelen brengt hij met zijn soloproject 'Dawn' een betoverende fusie van balfolk met jazz-invloeden, die muzikale grenzen verlegt! Bereid je voor om betoverd te worden door 'Dawn', dat naadloos het rijke erfgoed van balfolk mengt met de nuances van jazz en daarbuiten. Ontdek een muzikale reis als geen ander, waar de tijdloze melodieën van de Ierse bouzouki zich verstrengelen met de harmonieuze omhelzing van toetsen en de zielsroerende klanken van de duduk. 'Dawn' overstijgt genres en creëert een betoverende soundscape die even uniek als meeslepend is.\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\n20:00: Start dansuitleg\n21:00: Bal!\n23:00: Deuren sluiten\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. Je kunt naar binnen bij de hoofdingang aan Schouwburgplein 50, dan word je vanzelf de goede kant op gewezen. \n\nEten\nVoorafgaand aan het bal een hapje eten is mogelijk.

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 Airboxes\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. (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 Airboxes\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. (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-aurelien-claranbaux-en-diner/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1260498191363140/"],"start":"2023-10-30T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-30T21:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes"],"price":"€10-€13","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk Honigfabrik","details":"Bal Folk with Västanvinden (SE) and Fragole e Tempesta (IT)","links":["https://www.folkstanzwirbel.de/events/event/bal-folk-mit-fragola-e-tempesta-it-und-vaestanvinden-se/"],"start":"2023-10-30T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-10-30T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Hamburg","styles":["balfolk","italian","scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Trio Västanvinden","Fragole e Tempesta"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Folkstanzwirbel","source":"events/germany/hamburg.yaml"},{"name":"Beginners trial lesson","details":"Op 30 oktober en 2 november beginnen we de nieuwe reeks van Balfolk Hoorn met twee proeflessen!\nOp de maandag wordt dit een groep begonners die al eerder een reeks of een aantal workshops hebben gedanst, en op de donderdag beginnen wij helemaal vanaf het begin met de beginners.

Ook gaan wij aan de slag met een aantal dansen die vaker voorkomen op een bal zoals walsen in 5 en 8, Bourrée in 3, Suite Plinn en Rondeau en Couple. We gaan werken met musikaliteit en communicatie binnen de dansen, zo kun je van een leuke dans een nog leukere dans maken!\nEn als toetje gaan wij de Sønderhoning leren!

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r\n☆☆☆ Program of the course ☆☆☆\r\nAndrò, Anterdro, Circassian Circle, Chapelloise\r\nPolka and Skottish (2 and 3 temp)\r\nBalcan and Israeli dances\r\nLimousine, Repasseado, Manfrina\r\nBourrée (2, 3 temp, circle), Rondeau\r\nValzer (3, 5 and 8 temp), French Mazurka\r\nas well some surprise dances every time ...\r\nSave the dates 27.10 and 24-25.11 for which we are organizing spacial evetns.

Many of you enjoyed dancing with her in the past and we are fortunate to welcome her again! \nCancellation / Refund Policy: If you need to cancel for any reason, we will allow you to transfer your personal registration to the next year (for one year only). Or you can send someone—a previously unregistered dancer whom you find—in your place to this current year’s weekend and let us know about the substitution. You handle all the details and work out the payment with your friend. This applies only to the specific weekend you paid for.

Zelf in een favoriete Halloweenoutfit komen wordt aanbevolen: organisator Balfolk Zuid-Holland zorgt voor mooie prijzen voor de origineelste en leukste kostuums. Toch liever niet verkleed? Geen probleem, het is niet verplicht en gezellig wordt het sowieso!\n\nLocatie\n\nHet bal is in De Brinkhoeve, in Poortugaal. Deze zaal is te vinden aan de Kerkstraat 12 in Poortugaal.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-279-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-11-09T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-09T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/1258468508160528/"],"start":"2023-11-09T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-09T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Pop-up Ceilidh","links":["https://popupceilidh.co.uk/dates/pop-up-ceilidh-the-bedford-3-2023-11-09/"],"start":"2023-11-09T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-09T22:15:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddle Paradiddle"],"price":"£16.50","organisation":"Pop Up Ceilidh London","source":"events/uk/london_miscellany.yaml"},{"name":"Eurosession & Minuet workshop","details":"Playing and dancing for balfolk and scandi, often with a workshop then a social dance.","links":["https://eurosession.org.uk/?p=4865","https://www.facebook.com/events/307392615395916/"],"start":"2023-11-09T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-11-09T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"£5","organisation":"Sheffield Eurosession","source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Arish Mel in Kimmeridge","links":["http://www.earwicker.org/about_arish_mel.htm"],"start_date":"2023-11-10","end_date":"2023-11-10","country":"UK","city":"Kimmeridge","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Arish Mel"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"JooDäio!

The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r\n☆☆☆ Program of the course ☆☆☆\r\nAndrò, Anterdro, Circassian Circle, Chapelloise\r\nPolka and Skottish (2 and 3 temp)\r\nBalcan and Israeli dances\r\nLimousine, Repasseado, Manfrina\r\nBourrée (2, 3 temp, circle), Rondeau\r\nValzer (3, 5 and 8 temp), French Mazurka\r\nas well some surprise dances every time ...\r\nSave the dates 27.10 and 24-25.11 for which we are organizing spacial evetns.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar. Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden.

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\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…\n\n \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. Er 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\n🅛🅔🅣 🅞🅟: Het instapniveau ligt relatief hoog, twijfel je over je dansniveau?

Tzar Samuil 86, Sofia. The course will end with a dance party for Balfolkaryia´s first birhday celebration.\r\n✔️ What is Balfolk? The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r\n☆☆☆ Program of the course ☆☆☆\r\nAndrò, Anterdro, Circassian Circle, Chapelloise\r\nPolka and Skottish (2 and 3 temp)\r\nBalcan and Israeli dances\r\nLimousine, Repasseado, Manfrina\r\nBourrée (2, 3 temp, circle), Rondeau\r\nValzer (3, 5 and 8 temp), French Mazurka\r\nas well some surprise dances every time ...\r\nSave the dates 27.10 and 24-25.11 for which we are organizing spacial evetns.

In de tweede helft v/d dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\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! Nieuwsgierig? Er zijn kaartjes met kennismakingskorting!\nEn we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan mee doen.\n\nOver Paracetamol:\nParacetamol speelt avondvullende energieke balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657.\nDe band bestaat uit:\nRob Zantkuijl: Doedelzak, saxofoon, melodica, whistles\nJan Willem Veenhuis: Gitaar, Stompbox\nGyöngy Kovács: Contrabas, zang\nNico Beltman: Viool, doedelzak, low whistle\n\nOver Duo Baftig:\nWat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van 2022 is nu officieel tot een balfolk muzikanten duo uitgegroeid. Duo 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!\nDe band bestaat uit:\nManon Elout: viool\nRobin Tjiong: gitaar\n\nDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.\nOp zondag is het parkeren gratis.

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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken.

The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r\n☆☆☆ Program of the course ☆☆☆\r\nAndrò, Anterdro, Circassian Circle, Chapelloise\r\nPolka and Skottish (2 and 3 temp)\r\nBalcan and Israeli dances\r\nLimousine, Repasseado, Manfrina\r\nBourrée (2, 3 temp, circle), Rondeau\r\nValzer (3, 5 and 8 temp), French Mazurka\r\nas well some surprise dances every time ...\r\nSave also 25.11 for which we are organizing special event for our birthday where you can practice your bulgarian dances on live authentic music :) \r\n✔️ Entrance: a donation (who has the ability, according to it)","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/309610611764890/309610615098223/"],"start":"2023-11-24T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2023-11-24T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Bulgaria","city":"Sofia","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolkariya","source":"events/bulgaria/sofia.yaml"},{"name":"Pop-up Ceilidh","links":["https://popupceilidh.co.uk/dates/a-wee-ceilidh-at-small-beer-241123/"],"start":"2023-11-24T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-24T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddle Paradiddle"],"price":"£16.50","organisation":"Pop Up Ceilidh London","source":"events/uk/london_miscellany.yaml"},{"name":"Lets Dance","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/1937"],"start":"2023-11-24T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-24T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Waregem","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Drakenbal","details":"DRAKENBAL DEN BOSCH \n\nAls voortzetting van een succesvol eerste bal, zal er vrijdag 24 november een tweede bal plaatsvinden boordevol muziek, dans en gezelligheid!\n\nWat Balfolk betreft is het al jarenlang stil in Den Bosch. Veel te stil, vinden wij Bossche draakjes. Daarom organiseren we op 24 november 2023 ons tweede bal zodat er weer volop gedanst en gemusiceerd kan worden! Gelukkig heeft Café Station Zuid haar deuren met alle liefde voor ons geopend en kunnen we ondergronds gaan genieten van prachtige muziek, mooie contacten en heerlijke dansen.\n\nDWEILDANS\n\nAls organisatie van Drakenbal proberen wij de avond zo fijn mogelijk neer te zetten op het gebied van muziek, sfeer en dans. Het laatste puntje heeft zoals enkelen van jullie tijdens het eerste Drakenbal ervaren hebben nog wat aandacht nodig, en dat betreft namelijk de vloer! Wij zijn zeer gedreven om in de toekomst structureel bals te organiseren in regio Den Bosch met een vloer die voor iedereen prettig is; voor het aankomend bal hebben we dit echter nog niet helemaal kunnen realiseren.  Voor ieders dansgenot en veiligheid zullen we daarom (waar nodig) 1 à 2 keer een korte pauze inlassen van enkele minuten om de dansvloer droog te houden. We hopen dat jullie hier begrip voor hebben!\n\n\nDANSINITIATIE 20:00-21:00\n\nIs het je eerste keer? Maak je geen zorgen! Vanaf 20:00 is er een dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul en Bo. Zij zullen je de beginselen leren van een aantal standaard dansen en voortborduren op dansen die vorige maand zijn uitgelegd, zodat je steeds wat meer ervaring op doet!\n\nLIVE: DUO BAFTIG 21:00-22:30\n\nWat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van 2022 is nu officieel tot een balfolk muzikanten duo uitgegroeid. Duo Baftig speelt zeer dansbare tunes op akoestische gitaar en viool. Manon en Robin delen een passie voor balfolk dans en folkmuziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo speelt een verrassende mix van Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!\n\nJAMSESSIE 22:30- uiterlijk 1:00\n\nNa het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. 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! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!\n\nVERSNAPERINGEN\n\nIn de bar boven kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje! Bij drukte gaat de bar beneden ook open. Daar staan tevens gratis gezonde snacks en heerlijk vers (vruchten)water klaar..\n\nENTREE: 10 / 15 / 20\n\nBudget €10\nRegular €15\nSupport €20\n\nLOCATIE\n\nCafé Station Zuid\nErasmusstraat 9 ‘s-Hertogenbosch\n\nROUTE\n\nOpenbaar vervoer:\n\nHet Bal is te bereiken met OV, hiervoor kun je naar ’s-Hertogenbosch Centraal of ‘s-Hertogenbosch Oost komen.

It will feature the live performance of \"Kissene Folk,\" a group from Italy that plays Balfolk music. We will also have a Balfolk dance workshop led by \"Les Punkies Folkies,\" from Spain. And to top it off, we will enjoy the authentic Bulgarian music and dances of \"Nebo,\" a local ensemble. 🎵🕺\r\n\r\nWe look forward to celebrating this special milestone with you, our friends and fellows. Your presence would make it all the more memorable. 🎊😊\r\n\r\nAbout Balfolk:\r\n\r\nBalfolk is a style that revives traditional European dances and music from various regions. It often features live music and includes dances like schottische, polka, mazurka, circassian circle, repasseado, rondo, Irish dances, Balkan dances, and more. These dances are presented in a contemporary interpretation, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of previous experience.

We beginnen de avond met Wouter en de Draak die speciaal voor ons ook wat Nederlandse dansen zullen spelen die je kunt leren bij de workshop eerder op de dag. Na de picknick gaan dan verder met een afwisselende mix van PHLOX en Guus Herremans solo en duo met muzikanten van PHLOX. Dus verwacht intieme tunes en de power van een krachtige balfolk-big-band!\nJe kunt reserveren via Google Forms, zie hier.\nEr is een workshop voor het bal: Workshop.\n\n\nProgramma\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – Einde Workshop\n15:30 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:00 – Wouter en de Draak\n17:30 – Potluck\n18:45 – Guus Herremans & PHLOX\n21:45 – Eind bal\n\n\nReserveren, Prijzen en Voorwaarden\nJe reserveert een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.\n\nLet op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\n\n\nFair Trade\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\n\n\nEten en Drinken\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.\n\nNeem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, 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.\n\n\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.\n\n\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\n\n\n\n \n\nWe finish the year with our well-known Wouter en de Draak, Guus Herremans and his new band PHLOX! We kick off the evening with Wouter en de Draak that for this occasion will play also some Dutch dances. They can be learned during the workshop prior to the ball. After the picknick we will continue with an alternating set of PHLOX, Guus Herremans solo and as a duo with musicians of PHLOX, so expect some intimate tunes ánd the full force of a powerful balfolk-big-band!\n\n \n\n \nYou can book via Google Forms, see here.\nThere is a workshop before the bal: Workshop.\n\n\nProgramm\n12:00 – Workshop\n15:00 – End of Workshop\n15:30 – Walk-in for the ball\n16:00 – Wouter en de Draak\n17:30 – Potluck\n18:45 – Guus Herremands & PHLOX\n21:45 – End of the ball\n\n \n\nReservation, Prices and Conditions\nYou reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.\n\nNB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.\n\n\nFair Trade\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\n\n\nFood and Drinks\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.\n\nBring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\n\n\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.\n\n\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-utrecht-bal-met-wouter-en-de-draak-phlox-en-guus-herremans/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-utrecht-workshop-nederlandse-dans-met-marco-campman/"],"start":"2023-11-26T12:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-26T21:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wouter en de Draak","Phlox","Guus Herremans"],"price":"€14-€40","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Winterdans Bal Musette","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.kasteeldursel.be/bezoek/winterdans.html","https://folkbalbende.be/event/1678"],"start":"2023-11-26T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-26T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Bornem","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["La Bastoche"],"organisation":"Kasteel D'Ursel","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Superette Bal","details":"Op 26 november zal het eerste Superette bal in Wageningen plaatsvinden! Heel toevallig gepland op mijn verjaardag.\n\nLocatie: De superette\n\nDe superette is een cultureel centrum in een voormalige Boksschool in Wageningen. Vele uiteenlopende culturele evenementen worden hier georganiseerd. Of het nou gaat om kunst, muziek of dans, het is een plek voor alles wat mensen samenbrengt in op een creatieve manier. Wij hebben de eer om een kersvers gelegde vloer met dit evenement in te leiden. De superette draait volledig op vrijwillige donaties en dit bal zal dus ook op vrijwillige donatie basis gegeven worden. Ook zullen er verscheidende drankjes beschikbaar zijn, tevens op basis van vrijwillige donatie.\n\nDe bands:\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 verrassende mix tussen Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!\n\nMarina Lazar is al 7 jaar lang piano docent en heeft inmiddels een geheel zelf geschreven repertoire van balfolk nummers gecreëerd, wat niet haast anders dan imponeren kan. Haar composities van voornamelijk Walsen en Mazurkas hebben meeslepende melodieën waar nu toe eigenlijk maar een probleem gevonden: ze zijn te kort. Benieuwd naar een voorproefje?

Docenten deze week zijn René en Ellen. We gaan aan de slag met diverse ronde-dansen, zoals de ronde de chantecorps, de ronde de st. Vincent en de bal limousine. Tegelijkertijd zullen we daarbij ook eens kijken hoe het eigenlijk zit met de etiquette, de 'regeltjes' van deze dansen. Geen zorgen: het is geen 'praat'les, er wordt ook nog volop gedanst. Ervaring met deze dansen is niet nodig om mee te kunnen doen.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-282-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-11-30T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-11-30T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Playford in the Pub","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/832281948688809/"],"start":"2023-11-30T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-11-30T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Sheffield Playford","source":"events/uk/sheffield_playford.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Jan Sijben(gitaar en mandoline), André ten Broeke (trekzak) en Jochem  Beltman (viool) vonden elkaar op muziekfestivals en spelen nu samen de sterren van de hemel met originele dansmuziek, vaak zelfgemaakt of gearrangeerd. Ze spelen voor iedere gelegenheid een creatief samengesteld programma met dansen, voor beginners, begonners of echte balfolkfreakies. Op 1 december spelen zij in Rotterdam.\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. Reserveren voor dit bal is niet nodig, je kunt naar wens binnen komen wandelen.\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\n20:00: Start dansuitleg\n21:00: Bal!\n23:00: Deuren sluiten\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe Doelen is het welbekende concertgebouw middenin hartje Rotterdam, op een kleine 3 minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam.

Je kunt naar binnen bij de hoofdingang aan Schouwburgplein 50, dan word je vanzelf de goede kant op gewezen. \n\nEten\nVoorafgaand aan het bal een hapje eten is mogelijk. In De Doelen zelf kun je aanschuiven bij het buffet van Maher’s kitchen vanaf 18.00 uur.

Docent deze week is Isobel. We gaan aan de slag met de wals en dan vooral de basis daarvan: de danshouding, wals- en draaitechniek en dus vooral de wals in 3. Ervaring met wals is niet nodig. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij die van volgende week: de wals in 5 en 8, gecombineerd met muzikaliteit. 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

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 de week 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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.

En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten vaak met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan mee doen.\n\nOver Wouter Kuyper:\n\nSamenspelen is het mooiste, een dialoog aangaan met je medemuzikanten. Maar soms is het ook gewoon tof om je eigen verhaal te kunnen vertellen.\nNaast alle bands is Wouter ook in te huren als solo-artiest. Met zijn kenmerkende geluid en mooie mix van rustig en swingend balfolkrepertoire kan hij makkelijk een avondvullend programma spelen, alleen en in z'n eentje, op zijn trekzak (of andere instrumenten, je weet maar nooit).\nGewoon op een bal, bij een luisterconcert of als begeleiding op een feestje.\nMaar Wouter kan ook een gezellige dansworkshop geven op bijvoorbeeld een bedrijfsfeestje of huwelijk, alleen of met een dansjuf.\n\n\nEr is een bar met ruime keuze uit drankjes en een kleine keuken met (vegetarische) snacks.\nLet op: op de locatie mag je geen meegebrachte etenswaren nuttigen. Kraanwater drinken/meebrengen is toegestaan.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-deventer-de-fermerie-2/"],"start":"2023-12-15T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-12-15T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Deventer","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Wouter Kuyper"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Knees Up Cecil Sharp","links":["http://www.kneesupcecilsharp.co.uk/programme.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/762868952282441/"],"start":"2023-12-15T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-12-15T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Relentless"],"callers":["Ben Moss"],"price":"£5-£12","organisation":"Knees Up Cecil Sharp","source":"events/uk/kucs.yaml"},{"name":"Cambridge Contra Dance","links":["https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/","https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/programme.html"],"start":"2023-12-15T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2023-12-15T22:15:00+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":"Balfolk workshop at Fantasy Event","details":"Houd je van fantasy, dansen, cosplay, gothic, anime en manga?

Plezier hebben is dus belangrijker dan de juiste danspasjes. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig, op een bal kan je iedereen ten dans vragen en door iedereen gevraagd worden. En soms dans je met z'n allen. Balfolk is interactie tussen muzikanten en dansers. Je zult dansen in een kring of als koppel, maar altijd met veel improvisatie en variatie, zodat iedereen kan meedoen en plezier kan hebben.\n\nWorbla\nWorbla is een thermoplastische kunststof die wordt verhit, zodat het buigzaam, klevend en kneedbaar wordt. Dan kan het in de gewenste vorm gekneed worden en afkoelen. Worbla kunststoffen kunnen eindeloos worden verhit met een heteluchtpistool en hebben geen houdbaarheid of verwerkingstijd. Zo kunnen er de meest fantastische sieraden, veren, vleugels of wapens gemaakt worden met Worbla.\n\nBotanische tekeningen van Nynke van Zwol\nNynke heeft een fascinatie voor oude, niet-ontcijferde scripts, wat geleid heeft tot de constructie van haar eigen asemische (betekenisloze) tekens. De kalligrafische vormen en symbolen gebruikt ze in haar aquarelschilderijen en tekeningen. Vooral kleurpotlood is een favoriet materiaal van haar en zorgvuldig getekende botanische en dierlijke onderwerpen, zijn daar een bewijs van.\n\nKruidenreading\nBij de stand van Made by Kracht, kun je een gratis kruidenreading ontvangen van Karin Ovinge. Zij vult een schattenzakje of krachtzakje met kruiden. Dit kan op een bepaald onderwerp maar ze kan ook afstemmen op jouw energie en de kruiden uitzoeken waarvan zij denkt dat je op dat moment nodig hebt. Daar krijg je een korte omschrijving bij.\n\nArtemis Fantasy kostuumsInge en Larissa van Artemis Fantasy maken al jaren historische en fantasy kostuums. Ze zijn dol op historische outfits, korsetten, fantasie kleding en vintage kleding. Ze laten je graag zien wat ze zoal maken aan kostuums maar ze maken ook sieraden, kroontjes en borduurwerk om het hele plaatje compleet te maken.\n\nWorkshop Fantasy tekenen\nFreelance cartoonist en illustrator Sterre Richards geeft deze workshop Fantasy tekenen. Ze tekent bloedige en gepassioneerde verhalen, droevige, vrolijke verhalen, totdat het woord 'verhaal' niet langer op een woord lijkt.\n\nDungeons and Dragons spelen\nAltijd al meer willen leren van Dungeon and Dragons het spel met veel regels en variaties? Kom dan ook.\nXavier, een ervaren Dungeon and Dragons master neemt je graag mee door het spel en legt je het uit.\nOok ervaren spelers zijn welkom.\n\nFotocredit: Bibliotheek Purmerend","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkworkshop-bij-fantasy-event/"],"start":"2023-12-15T21:15:00+01:00","end":"2023-12-15T22:15:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Purmerend","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"free","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Melrose Quintet in Chandler's Ford","links":["http://www.shocc.co.uk/"],"start_date":"2023-12-16","end_date":"2023-12-16","country":"UK","city":"Chandler's Ford","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Melrose Quintet"],"callers":["Ian Nichols"],"organisation":"Webfeet","source":"events/uk/webfeet.yaml"},{"name":"Introduction to Polska","links":["https://www.facebook.com/groups/balfolkdunedincommunity/posts/727770015476918/"],"start":"2023-12-16T13:00:00+13:00","end":"2023-12-16T16:00:00+13:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Auckland","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"bands":["Toivo Wiskari"],"organisation":"Balfolk Aotearoa","source":"events/new_zealand/auckland.yaml"},{"name":"TECDA Friday Evening Dance","details":"Come and join us every Friday for an evening of dance with our talented callers: \nDave Berman, Cathy Campbell, Alan Rosenthal, Walter Zagorski. \nMasks are optional.

Ze zorgen voor een wonderlijk samenspel van Scandinavische en Occitaanse muziek: ze laten onze voeten dansen dankzij groovy muziek met grenzeloze invloeden, een frisse smaak van Zweden en de sterke smaak van Occitaanse kaas. Op het menu staan de gebruikelijke balfolkdansen, plús rondeau, congo, branle, polska, slängpolska, halling en meer!\n\nL’Air Inconnu is Fabien Bucher (gitaar, mandoline, zang), Dani Velasco (viool, zang) en Sylvain Pool (accordeon, gitaar, kick, zang). De band brengt ons muzikale creaties gebaseerd op hedendaagse en traditionele dans, nieuwsgierige oren, en dieren en planten, zowel wild als getemd. Hun composities en arrangementen van traditionele thema's worden geïnspireerd door emoties en sensaties tijdens de bals en festivals: het plezier van de ontmoeting, intieme poëzie, de aanstekelijkheid van muziek, lichaamsenergie en -beweging, collectieve trans, …. Wij verheugen ons immens op dit trio, dat van elk bal een fantastisch feestje weet te maken.\n\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg! Entree: Regulier €20, korting €15 (indien je minder te besteden hebt). Betalen kan contant of via een QR-code.

Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je bij de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen. Prijzen:\n\n \t€13,- (Normaaltarief),\n \t€15,- (Fair-Trade),\n \t€10,- (Kortingstarief).\n\nFair Trade\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\nOverig\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. De bar van de Moira is gesloten. Voel je vrij om je eigen drank mee te nemen. We vragen je om na het einde, de Moira stilletjes te verlaten en geen geluid te maken voor het gebouw.\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.\nLocatie\nHet 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. Er is geen lift.\n\n\n\n** English **\n\n\n\nWe end the season with Duo Bottasso. The young, brilliant Italian brothers play original balfolk with a lot of energy on violin and trumpet. The brothers also play together in Stygiens. Simone Bottasso already belongs to the Italian top and plays with, among others, the Italian grandmaster: Ricardo Tessi.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/wezaNX-m-ag?si=j54GK2gxFvPu5bNj\nProgramme\n19:15 – Walk-in\n20:00 – Duo Bottasso\n21:30 – End\n21:45 - Closure\nReservation and Prices\nYou do not need to make a reservation. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. NB! You pay cash at the door. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register. Prices:\n\n \t€13,- (normal rate),\n \t€15,- (Fair Trade),\n \t€10,- (discount rate).\n\nFair Trade\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\nRemainder\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. The bar of Moira is closed. Feel free to bring your own drinks. We ask you to leave the Moira quietly after the end and not to make any noise in front of the building.\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.\nLocation\nIt takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht).

Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de IJswals: een fijne, bijna traditionele dans, die een kleine opleving herbeleeft. Afhankelijk van de tijd zullen er ook nog andere dansen aan bod komen deze les. Ideeën zijn welkom!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-285-rotterdam/"],"start":"2023-12-21T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-12-21T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van Aérokorda en Duo Baftig!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met Gepke & Berend\n20:30 Bal met Duo Batig\n21:00 Bal met Aérokorda\n23:00 Sessie\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:\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nBands\n\n \tAérokorda\n\nAérokorda is opgericht in 2016 en kan het best omschreven worden als neofolk met keltische, slavische en klassieke invloeden, deze komen duidelijk naar voor in de eigen composities van de band.\n\nDe op dat moment nog kersverse groep bracht in 2017 al een eerste album uit, 'Hush the wolves'. Aérokorda kreeg daardoor al snel de kans om enkele mooie optredens te geven in zowel binnen- als buitenland.\n\nOm nog meer te groeien, beslisten de jonge wolven om deel te nemen aan twee muziekwedstrijden, die ze ook allebei wonnen. Met trots mogen ze de Folkarria concurso (Spanje) en de Mauro Burnelli Concorso (Italië) op hun palmares schrijven. Voor de tweede plaat 'Ashes fell' (2021) heeft Aérokorda meer tijd genomen en is de ondertussen internationale band vrijer gaan experimenteren met verschillende invloeden. De nummers rijpten langer, waardoor de groep nog meer een eigen sound ontwikkelde.\n\nHet Belgische trio bestaat uit Pavel Souvandjiev (viool), Adriaan Van Wonterghem (gitaar) en Davy Cautaerts (Irish whistle, octaafmandoline).\n\nPavel heeft Bulgaarse roots, is klasssiek geschoold en toerde over heel Europa met zijn duo ‘Les Botinnes Artistiques’. Adriaan, ook klassiek geschoold, begon tijdens zijn studies te experimenteren met alternatieve gitaarstemmingen en eigen composities. Hij speelt onder meer ook bij folkgroep Boreas. Davy specialiseerde zich vele jaren in Keltische muziek en leidt wekelijkse Ierse sessies in een Irish pub in Gent.\n\nDe drie goede vrienden spelen niet enkel samen in Aérokorda, ze doen ook menig podium daveren met Sanseveria en Makaram.\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\nFotocredit\nBart Denolf","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-les-zeoles-2/","https://www.facebook.com/events/513466064331007/"],"start":"2023-12-21T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-12-21T23:55:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aérokorda","Duo Baftig"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Gaat dat samen? Zeker wel. Leon en Claudia leren je alles!\n\nVoor ons gaat balfolk om gevoel, energie en connectie van de dansers en muziek. Dit willen we delen, dus in deze workshop gaan we samen zingen en dansen. We zullen een aantal groepsdansen uitleggen, liedjes zingen en daarna proberen dit te combineren. Dit zijn met name Bretonse dansen, zoals hanterdro en rond de Loudéac.\n\nZangervaring is niet nodig, enige danservaring is wel prettig (denk aan half-gevorderd/niveau 2 van stages).

Docent deze week is Isobel. Zij gaat met ons aan de slag met de rondeau, zowel die in een rij en in de groep als de versie die je in een koppel kunt dansen. Wat zijn de stapjes, cadans, energie en wat kun je ermee? Let op: deze les is Engelstalig, maar er zijn genoeg mensen aanwezig die voor je kunnen 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-286-rotterdam-rondeau-en-chaine-en-couple/"],"start":"2024-01-11T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-11T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 6","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/dance-class-level-6/916/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2020"],"start":"2024-01-11T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-11T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-01-11T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-11T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Breton dance workshop","details":"Workshop with Yves Defrance (Rennes).

Docent deze week is René. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van de mazurka. Wat zijn de stapjes en danshouding en wat kun je ermee als je net begint met de mazurka? Deze les is mooi te combineren met die van volgende week, waarbij we dieper op de mazurka in gaan en ook kijken naar muzikaliteit in deze dans. 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-287-rotterdam-mazurka-basis/"],"start":"2024-01-18T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-18T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van KV Express en PFM!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met Gepke & Berend\n20:30 Bal met PFM!\n21:00 Bal met KV Express\n23:00 Sessie\n\nBands\n\n \tKV Express\n\nDe autodidactische Belgische accordeonist is al stevig verankerd in de wereld van knoopmuziek. Ze leidt haar eigen projecten frontaal en biedt haar talent aan anderen aan, ze heeft zich in een paar jaar verspreid over de Belgische en internationale scenes een nieuw diatonisch geluid dat kracht, charme en gevoeligheid combineert.\n\n \tPFM!\n\nPFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar (en een beetje trekzak). Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld.\n\nFrans is het meest actief in het schrijven van nieuwe nummers. Hij zoekt de variatie op door te experimenteren met toonladders, maar weet ook nog origineel te zijn binnen A-mineur. Geregeld bedenkt hij iets wat later eigenlijk te moeilijk blijkt om zelf te spelen, maar dat weerhoudt hem er niet van blijven proberen excellente composities te produceren. Frans heeft ervaring in verschillende bandsettingen en actief in Balfolk Amsterdam; hij geeft dansles en mede-organiseert bals, waaronder de maandelijkse dansavond in café Mezrab.\n\nMaurits is een klassiek geschoold virtuoos violist en het muzikale geweten van de band. Hij weet meestal precies te duiden waar muzikale verbeteringen zitten. Verder speelt hij graag sessie.\n\nPieter was actief binnen pop, punk en kleinkunst, maar speelt sinds 2010 voornamelijk balfolk en PFM is zijn alweer derde bandje. Hij is een enthousiast slaggitarist en probeert de twee solo-instrumenten begeleidend tegelijkertijd voor gitarist en drummer te spelen.\n\nHet trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er wordt geconcentreerd op de meest gangbare balfolkdansen zodat alle balfolkies het hele optreden op de dansvloer kunnen blijven.\n\nAlle drie de bandleden zijn enthousiaste dansers, maar staan ook graag op het podium, daarom zeggen zij: boek ons!\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:\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nFotocredit\nDiego Cantore","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-kv-express-en-pfm/"],"start":"2024-01-18T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-18T23:55:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["KV Express","PFM!"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599505723724/"],"start":"2024-01-18T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-18T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Gaia Terra","links":["https://www.facebook.com/progettogaiaterra/posts/pfbid02SyiJcNdjqVdM9VBgqwt4raPzUXiAzCxK3J1osZsbmEPKU6TXj5GT5KaYq5TvcvyQl"],"start_date":"2024-01-19","end_date":"2024-01-19","country":"Italy","city":"Flambruzzo","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo David & Loris"],"organisation":"Gaia Terra","source":"events/italy/gaia_terra.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Zowel in de Zweedse als in de Franse volksmuziektraditie zijn dit soort violengroepen heel gebruikelijk. Het grootste deel van het repertoire van de Houtzagerij bestaat uit traditionele folkmuziek uit België, Frankrijk en Zweden. Alle nummers arrangeren de groepsleden zelf met meerdere stemmen en begeleiding. De groep bestaat al zo’n vijftien jaar en het aantal strijkers varieerde tot nu toe van drie tot twaalf. Op het bal in Enkhuizen bestaat de groep uit: Marieke van der Hoek, Katrin Herzberg, Marianne Heselmans (viool), Hester de Boer (quinton), Samy Ouahsine (altviool) en Theo Hofstede (nyckelharpa).\n\nEn natuurlijk is ons vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (de huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) ook weer van de partij. Hun repertoire bestaat voornamelijk uit enerverende Franse en Vlaamse dansmuziek. Wanneer nodig zullen er tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies gegeven worden voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.\n\nHet bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Dijk 74-76 te Enkhuizen.\n\nEntree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-op-de-zondagmiddag-in-enkhuizen-op-21-januari-met-de-houtzagerij/"],"start":"2024-01-21T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-21T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Enkhuizen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["AdHoc Orkest","De Houtzagerij"],"price":"€7","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"French Chain Dances","links":["https://www.facebook.com/groups/510634288975263/posts/7223430237695601/"],"start":"2024-01-21T15:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-21T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€10","organisation":"Maximilian Ohmacht","source":"events/austria/vienna-other.yaml"},{"name":"Double dance concert and dinner","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/250715801029015/"],"start":"2024-01-21T15:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-21T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Ceresole Alba","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo du Balcon","Les Bottines Artistiques"],"price":"€15","organisation":"Roero Folk","source":"events/italy/ceresole_alba.yaml"},{"name":"Black Mountain Balfolk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/groups/670540084748885/posts/721195359683357"],"start":"2024-01-21T15:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-01-21T18:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Hay-on-Wye","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£5-£7","organisation":"Black Mountain Balfolk","source":"events/uk/hay_on_wye.yaml"},{"name":"Irish set dancing","links":["https://tanzhaus-innsbruck.jimdofree.com/"],"start":"2024-01-21T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-21T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Innsbruck","styles":["irish-set"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Tanzhaus Innsbruck","source":"events/austria/innsbruck.yaml"},{"name":"Bristol French Session and workshop","details":"Balfolk Tunes and Dancing","links":["https://bathfrenchsession.wordpress.com/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1121686002524618/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1409729919900045/"],"start":"2024-01-21T18:45:00+00:00","end":"2024-01-21T22:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Bath & Bristol French Sessions","source":"events/uk/bristol_bath_french_session.yaml"},{"name":"Ease & Elegance","details":"Country Dancers of Westchester presents Ease & Elegance, its renowned style workshop and dance party for experienced English country dancers. \nThis year’s session, The Hands Are Dancing, presents an anatomy of how the hands and arms work best to enhance our dancing pleasure.

Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan verder aan de slag met de mazurka. Hoe ga je van stapjes naar echt mazurka dansen, wat kun je ermee, hoe dans je deze fijn samen en wat kun je met de muziek terwijl je danst? Deze les is mooi te combineren met die van vorige week, waarbij we de basis van de mazurka hebben behandeld. 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-288-rotterdam-mazurka-verdieping/"],"start":"2024-01-25T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-25T22:00:00+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":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://balhalla.be/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2056","https://www.facebook.com/events/649492650668437"],"start":"2024-01-25T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-25T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Parapente700"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-01-25T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-25T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599509057057/"],"start":"2024-01-25T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-01-25T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Playford in the Pub","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1815986672239680/"],"start":"2024-01-25T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-01-25T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Sheffield Playford","source":"events/uk/sheffield_playford.yaml"},{"name":"Contra Swing Shift Weekend","links":["https://www.swingshift.ltda.us/"],"start_date":"2024-01-26","end_date":"2024-01-27","country":"USA","state":"KY","city":"Berea","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Meadowhawk"],"callers":["Charley Harvey"],"price":"$32-$55","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Hoe kun je fijn als koppel en als groep dansen in een ruimte, zonder een dans geweld aan te doen, waar kun je op letten en hoe zorg je goed voor elkaar? Hoe houden we een cirkel een cirkel en geen ei of spiraal bijvoorbeeld? Geen zorgen, het is geen les vol regels en gepraat, we gaan ook genoeg dansen!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-289-rotterdam-dansetiquette/"],"start":"2024-02-01T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-01T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/193281173871775/"],"start":"2024-02-01T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-01T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Graz","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo l'Hêtre Heureux"],"organisation":"Pierre's Cafe und Bar","source":"events/austria/graz.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599525723722/"],"start":"2024-02-01T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-01T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing Fish","links":["https://dancingfish.dance/"],"start_date":"2024-02-02","end_date":"2024-02-03","country":"USA","state":"FL","city":"Melrose","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"callers":["Mary Wesley"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Het ligt op 10 minuten lopen van NS Station Diemen (niet Diemen Zuid dus!!) en 10 minuten lopen vanaf tramlijn 19. En in de omgeving van De Omval is het op zondag vrij parkeren, op de zones voor vergunninghouders na. Wil je overdekt staan dan kun je gebruik maken van de (betaalde) parkeergarage tegenover De Omval.\n\nJe wordt ontvangen in de foyer en je kunt gebruik maken van de garderobe.\n\n- 14:00 – 16:00 Dansworkshop voor gevorderden\nWorkshop bourree met Marc. Voor deze workshop verwachten we een vrijwillige bijdrage ter dekking van de zaalhuur en reiskosten van de docent.\n\n\n- 14:30 – 15:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners\nDe dansintroductie wordt verzorgd door Gepke en Berend. De instructie wordt live begeleid door Duo Baftig. Beginners kunnen na de introductie met een aantal dansen prima meekomen en het gehele bal meedoen.\n\n- 15:30 – 16:15 Bal met Duo Baftig\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\n16:30 – 18:30 L'Air Inconnu\nDani Velasco en Sylvain Pool zijn trots en blij hun muziekproject te delen met Fabien Bucher.\n\nSamen zijn ze een creatief muzikaal trio. Ze maken muziek ten dienste van de moderne traditionele dans, en nieuwsgierige oren.\n\n- 18:30 – 19:30 Picknick in de foyer\nEen Balfolk Picknick is iets om mee te maken: Alle balfolkies komen naar het bal met een gerecht en dat delen ze met elkaar. De een maakt een pasta salade, de ander bakt een taart, iemand neemt stokbrood mee of iets om daar dan weer op te smeren. Alles mag! Hou er wel rekening mee dat veel balfolkies vegetariër zijn, dus maak liever niets waar vlees in zit. Zet op je maaltijd of het vegan of vegetaries is. Na de picknick ruimen we alles netjes op, vegen de kruimels weg en gaan weer dansen met nieuwe energie!\n\n- 19:30 – 21:30 Tref!\nDat accordeonmuziek meer is dan oubollige muziek in zweterige cafés, dat weten we al lang. Wie nog steeds twijfelt, heeft Tref nog nooit live aan het werk gezien. Tref is Vlaanderen en Wallonië verenigd, zoals het hoort, met Wim Claeys en Didier Laloy, twee ervaren trekzakspelers op hun diatonische accordeon. Voor Tref vormen ze een kwartet met hun oude leraar, Bruno Le Tron en de Franse Frédéric Malempré op worldpercussion.\n\n\n- 21:30 – 22:30 Jam sessie in de foyer tijdens het opruimen\nAan ieder bal komt een eind en dat betekent de zaal opruimen, podium afbreken, stoelen weg, vegen etc. Het is fijn als je dan even wilt helpen! Heb je je instrument bij je dan kan je ook in de foyer collega muzikanten opzoeken en samen jammen. Dat is een fijne begeleiding bij het afsluitende drankje.\n\n- 22:30 Einde\nRond 22:30 gooien we iedereen er uit zodat alle balfolkies ook nog een beetje op tijd in bed liggen.\n\n \nFOTOCREDIT\nDirk-Jan Mulders: http://dirkjanmulders.nl/?cat=3","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/diemerbal-met-tref/","https://www.facebook.com/events/320488060759462/"],"start":"2024-02-04T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-04T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Diemen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Baftig","L'air Inconnu","Tref"],"price":"€27.50-€37.50","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Irish set dancing","links":["https://tanzhaus-innsbruck.jimdofree.com/"],"start":"2024-02-04T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-04T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Innsbruck","styles":["irish-set"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Tanzhaus Innsbruck","source":"events/austria/innsbruck.yaml"},{"name":"Carne-Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/329320733203665/"],"start":"2024-02-04T17:45:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-04T21:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Venice","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Hartwin Dhoore Trio","S!lk&P!ll"],"price":"€15","organisation":"Sognando a Piedi Nudi - Mestre","source":"events/italy/venice.yaml"},{"name":"Workshops and Bal","links":["https://eurosession.org.uk/?p=4940","https://www.facebook.com/events/1348306635822038/","https://app.promotix.com/events/details/Airboxes-Workshops-and-Bal-tickets"],"start":"2024-02-04T17:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-02-04T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Sheffield","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes"],"price":"£10-£25","organisation":"Sheffield Eurosession","source":"events/uk/sheffield_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Capital English Country Dancers","details":"English Country Dance on the first Sundays of the month, October – May.

Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.\n\nHet doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.\n\nVoor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDocent\n\nDe lessen zullen gegeven worden door Marc Meijerink, geassisteerd door Jolieke Kessels.\n\nTijden\n\nDe lessen worden elke dinsdag avond gegeven.\n\n19:00       | Zaal open\n19:15 – 20:30 | Groep 1\n20:45 – 22.00 | Groep 2\n\nAdres\n\nCafé Tropical\nVerlengde Hoogravenseweg 203\n3523 KJ Utrecht\n\nDe auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein.\n\nKosten\n\nVoor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.\n\nDe kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €220,- voor 19 lessen.

Docent deze week is Leo. Hij laat ons deze week kennismaken met fest noz: een Bretons balfolkdansfeest. Hoe gaat dat in z'n werk, welke dansen kunnen er voorbij komen en wat maakt zo'n avond zo leuk? Mooie voorbereiding voor het bal op 17 februari in Hoorn!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-290-rotterdam-fest-noz/"],"start":"2024-02-08T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-08T22:00:00+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 Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-02-08T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-08T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Pop-up Ceilidh","links":["https://popupceilidh.co.uk/dates/pop-up-ceilidh-the-bedford-3-2024-02-08/"],"start":"2024-02-08T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-08T22:15:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddle Paradiddle"],"price":"£16.50","organisation":"Pop Up Ceilidh London","source":"events/uk/london_miscellany.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599512390390/"],"start":"2024-02-08T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-08T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Shrove Thursday balfolk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/2618478534991177/"],"start":"2024-02-08T21:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-09T00:00:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Recanati","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo l'Hêtre Heureux"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Due passi nel Folk","source":"events/italy/recanati.yaml"},{"name":"Entrudanças","links":["http://pedexumbo.com/entrudancas/"],"start_date":"2024-02-09","end_date":"2024-02-11","country":"Portugal","city":"Entradas","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€20-€50","organisation":"Associação PédeXumbo","source":"events/portugal/evora.yaml"},{"name":"Cabin Fever","links":["https://www.knoxvillecontra.org/cfschedule"],"start_date":"2024-02-09","end_date":"2024-02-11","country":"USA","state":"TN","city":"Knoxville","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Hot Coffee Breakdown","Baba Yaga's Stew"],"callers":["Timothy Klein"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Tijdens de eerste twee bals hebben wij als bossche draakjes enorm genoten van alle vrolijke mensen en fijne dansjes. Ook de sessie na het bal was volgens ons een enorm succes. Onder leiding van David hebben we nog veel fijne dansen kunnen dansen. Het spreekt dan ook voor zich dat wij nog niet klaar zijn met Drakenbal en graag nog heel veel fijne avonden voor jullie willen organiseren in s'-Hertogenbosch.  Net zoals vorige edities zal er dit keer ook weer ruimte zijn voor een sessie na het bal, dus.... neem vooral je instrumenten mee... !\n\nDANSINITIATIE 20:00-21:00\n\nIs het je eerste keer? Maak je geen zorgen! Vanaf 20:00 is er een dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul en Bo. Zij zullen je de beginselen leren van een aantal standaard dansen en voortborduren op dansen die tijdens het vorige Drakenbal zijn uitgelegd, zodat je steeds wat meer ervaring op doet!\n\nLIVE BAND 21:00-22:30\n\nVoor nu is de live band nog niet bekend. We hebben verschillende bands voor de verschillende evenementen die wij gepland hebben bij Cafe Station Zuid. Via onze Social Media (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554737720477) zullen wij jullie op de hoogte houden van de band. Later zullen wij dit evenement op balfolk.nl ook aanpassen zodat iedereen weet naar welke band ze komen luisteren. Voor nu willen we het evenement in ieder geval tijdig communiceren zodat jullie een plekje in jullie agenda kunnen bewaren voor het Drakenbal! \n\nJAMSESSIE 22:30- uiterlijk 1:00\n\nNa het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. 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! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!\n\nVERSNAPERINGEN\n\nIn de bar boven kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje!

Daarom heeft ze Max en Isolde uitgenodigd om op vrijdag 9 februari bij Balfolk Zeist een workshop te geven over dansen uit de Franse regio Limousin.\n\nLimousin, het buurmeisje van de Auvergne, is een streek die in Frankrijk de laatste jaren flink in opmars is in de traditionele muziek en dansscène. De redenen daarvoor zijn de vrolijke muziek en opzwepende dansen.\n\nMax groeide in deze prachtige streek in Frankrijk op en leerde als kind al de muziek uit deze regio goed kennen.

Many different cultural events are organized here. Whether it concerns art, music or dance, it is a place for everything that brings people together in a creative way.

Various drinks will also be availableat the bar, also on the basis of voluntary donation.\n\nThe bands:\n\nArtisjok:       Artisjok consists of Yvette Maussart and Kris van 't Klooster. They met with mandolins in hand. With a love for pleasant atmospheres and fun, they play their own compositions as well as existing songs. Two-part harmony, rhythmic interplay and an occasional excursion towards the East.\n\nNubia:           Dancing, fun, music, dreams, clouds, that's what Nubia stands for. With roots in the Netherlands and Scandinavian influences, this duo makes music to dance to or dream away to while you listen.

Vele uiteenlopende culturele evenementen worden hier georganiseerd. Of het nou gaat om kunst, muziek of dans, het is een plek voor alles wat mensen samenbrengt in op een creatieve manier.

Let me count the ways….\nThere is something for everyone!\nSome people love ECD for the music—we dance to beautiful tunes taken from classical arrangements, old ballads, and the modern era. Others love ECD for its uncomplicated moves that are chained together to form intricate, lyrical patterns. And almost everyone loves ECD for the communal dance experience, which can be energizing, mesmerizing, and just plain fun! \nNo dance partner necessary!\nDon’t have a dance partner to bring with you? No problem! Just come alone. ECDA culture is that couples change partners at the end of every dance and no one sits out unless they want to. \nNo experience necessary!\nNever tried this before? No problem! Unlike in the movies, every ECDA dance starts with a walkthrough, during which the caller teaches the dancers what to do, and then continues to “Call” (give instruction and prompt the moves) throughout the entire dance. And, like other new skills, the terminology and moves used in ECD get easier with time and practice. Regular ECDA dances are beginner friendly and the atmosphere is supportive of new dancers. \nNo fancy uniforms!\nYou may have seen ECD on TV before but English Country Dance in the 21st century is not all Regency Balls and period costumes (although there is certainly a time and a place for that—check out these suggestions for the Saturday night Ball at each year’s Fandango! dance weekend). No special clothing is needed for our regular ECDA dances other than clean, soft-soled shoes that won’t scruff up the dance floor. \nSee for yourself. Here are clips of a group of ECDA dancers practicing in advance for the Saturday night Ball to be held during Fandango! 2015. Clips show the “walk through” and then the dance itself with calling by Everett Lunsford and music by ‘Round Robbin: Robbin Marcus (piano), Dave Marcus (concertina), and Meredith Doster (flute).","links":["https://ecdatlanta.org/schedule.htm","https://cdss.org/event/ecd-atlanta-regular-dance/2024-02-11/"],"start":"2024-02-11T14:30:00-05:00","end":"2024-02-11T17:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"GA","city":"Atlanta","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$9","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Dance, Sing, and Jump Around","details":"a family dance for all ages\ncircle and line dances and singing games\nall dances taught and called by Liz Benjamin and Stan Carlson\n live traditional music by Joanne Garton and her young musicians\nCapital City Grange 6612 Vermont Route 12, with lots of free, safe parking\nFree for kids, $5 suggested donation for adults, but no one is turned away!\n(see the website for how to make a tax-deductible donation!)\nfmi: 802-223-1509","links":["https://cdss.org/event/dance-sing-and-jump-around/2024-02-11/"],"start":"2024-02-11T15:00:00-05:00","end":"2024-02-11T16:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Berlin","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$5","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"English Country Dance","details":"English Country Dance.

Kom op woensdag 14 februari naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.\n<<Koop hier je ticket>>\nLesprogramma\nDrie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).\n\nGroep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.\n\nGroep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.\n\nGroep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?\nLesdata\nDeze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.\n\nReguliere lessen zijn er wekelijks na de proefles. De preciesed datums volgen nog.

Docent deze week is Noelia. We gaan aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden, de basis daarvan. Wat zijn de stapjes, hoe kun je fijn met z'n tweeën in het ritme blijven en hoe kun je veel afstand - of juist heel kleine stappen - maken in deze koppeldans op afstand? Deze les combineert mooi met de volgende lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-291-rotterdam-bourree-in-2-basis/"],"start":"2024-02-15T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-15T22:00:00+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/event/balfolk-with-duo-du-balcon","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2057","https://www.facebook.com/events/1672185989974037/"],"start":"2024-02-15T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-15T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo du Balcon"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tobotorsdag","links":["https://esitobo.org/evenemang/tobotorsdag/"],"start":"2024-02-15T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-15T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Österby Spelmän"],"organisation":"Eric Sahlström Institutet","source":"events/sweden/uppsala.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel hier alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van Fahrenheit en Duo Baftig!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met Gepke & Berend\n20:30 Bal met Duo Baftig\n21:00 Bal met Fahrenheit\n23:00 Sessie\n\nBands\n\n \tFahrenheit\n\nFahrenheit brengt hun traditionele, electro-pop Bretonse muziek naar de populairste dansvloeren van Europa.

Een Fest Noz is de traditionele naam voor een dansfeest in Bretagne. Tijdens deze dag/avond zullen 3 groepen komen spelen met bretonse roots. Tijdens dit evenement zullen veel bretonse dansen gespeeld worden maar ook koppeldansen en andere balfolk dansen zullen zeker langs komen.\n\nProgramma\n\n12:00 – 15:00 – Workshop Bretonse Avant-Deux\n15:15 – 16:15 – Dansuitleg door Mikuláš Bryan\n16:30 – 18:30 – Nij\n18:30 – 19:30 – Picknick\n19:30 – 21:30 – Bal Lab\n21:45 – 23:15 – Ivan du Reve\n\nPraktische informatie\n\nDe locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn de laatste trein naar utrecht gaat nog na 12 uur ’s avonds dus je kunt het einde van het bal goed meemaken!\nMet de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.\nOp de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden. Eten en Drinken wordt gekocht met consumptiebonnen welke met pin en contant gekocht kunnen worden. Consumptiebonnen die over zijn kunnen aan het eind van de avond weer ingeruild worden of een volgende keer gebruikt worden.\n\nDansuitleg\n\nDe dansuitleg is gratis te volgen voor iedereen en geeft een introductie voor mensen om de meeste dansen op de avond te kunnen dansen. Deze dansuitleg zal gegeven worden door Mikuláš Bryan uit Tsjechië. Deze musikant en docent heeft bretonse roots en geeft internationaal les in deze dansen en zal ons in een uur voorbereiden om zoveel mogelijk van de dansen mee te kunnen doen!\n\nPicknick\n\nNet zoals andere keren hebben we weer een picknick! We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Probeer ook een kaartje of papiertje oid te maken om aan te geven of je gerecht bijvoorbeeld vegatarisch is of voor speciale dieten geschikt is. Dat helpt mensen die bepaalde dieëten volgen heel erg! (vooral bij gerechten in bijvoorbeeld bladerdeeg kan het soms echt giswerk worden anders)\n\nWorkshop\n\nVoorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gegeven worden door een docent die uit bretagne komt en de dansen vanaf jongs af aan heeft geleerd! De workshop zal gegeven worden in het Engels! Deze workshop moet los voor betaald worden. Tijdens de workshop is de bar nog niet open, we raden dus aan om zelf eten en drinken mee te nemen om te nuttigen tijdens de workshop.\n\nPrijzen\n\nWe willen de echte Fest Noz sfeer neerzetten en halen daarom Bands uit Bretagne zelf of bands met roots in deze regio. Hierdoor maken we veel kosten voor zaken als reiskosten. De musikanten, docenten en technici ontvangen een markt conform tarief voor hun optredes.\n\nBal: 35 euro\nWorkshop: 25 euro\n\nKaartjes kopen\n\nJe kunt je kaartje voor het bal (en de workshop) via deze link bestellen.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/fest-noz-hoorn-2/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop/"],"start":"2024-02-17T12:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-17T23:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Hoorn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Carnabal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://www.facebook.com/events/341882461956488/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2091"],"start":"2024-02-17T15:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-17T18:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Namur","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Feirste with workshop","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/909009087267593/","https://www.facebook.com/events/693661359586706/","https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/french-dance-workshop-tickets-812394071537","https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/french-evening-of-dance-with-instruction-live-music-tickets-812395355377"],"start":"2024-02-17T15:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-02-17T21:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Belfast","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Bal Feirste House Band"],"price":"£8-£25","organisation":"Bal Feirste","source":"events/uk/belfast.yaml"},{"name":"tReno Folk Masquerade Ball","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/298041409928775/"],"start":"2024-02-17T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-17T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Bologna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Ma Petite","Duo Zanchettin-Stewart"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"RenoFolk","source":"events/italy/renofolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folk & Tango Winter Workshop","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/winter-workshop-folk-&-tango-in-the-diois-region/886/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1612352712503234/"],"start":"2024-02-17T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-24T14:00:00+01:00","country":"France","city":"Glandage","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€615-€795","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/frissefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk","links":["https://www.gugelhupf-dresden.de/tanz-in-dresden/"],"start":"2024-02-17T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-17T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Dresden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fahrenheit"],"organisation":"Gugelhupf","source":"events/germany/dresden.yaml"},{"name":"York Region English Country Dancers","details":"English Country Dance in central York Region (Ontario, Canada)!

Wouter speelt in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux en Androneda, maar in Enkhuizen komt hij solo. Wanneer hij solo speelt, bespeelt hij voornamelijk de trekharmonica en brengt hij voor een groot deel zijn eigen composities; van opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's, een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven en dynamische cercle's. Wouter houdt van bals en van dansen en heeft in de loop der jaren een geweldig balrepertoire opgebouwd.\n\nEn natuurlijk is ons vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (de huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) ook weer van de partij. Hun repertoire bestaat voornamelijk uit enerverende Franse en Vlaamse dansmuziek. \n\nWanneer nodig zullen er tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies gegeven worden voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.\n\nHet bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Dijk 74-76 te Enkhuizen.\nEntree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-met-wouter-kuyper-op-zondagmiddag/"],"start":"2024-02-18T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-18T17:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Enkhuizen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["AdHoc Orkest","Wouter Kuyper"],"price":"€7","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://oliviercap.be/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2094"],"start":"2024-02-18T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-18T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Watermaal-Bosvoorde","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Olivier Cap"],"price":"€10","organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Workshops and dance","links":["https://docs.google.com/document/d/1elQzdAZqRHSOSKhNL3lUkG_N_432vOxJ/edit"],"start":"2024-02-18T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-18T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Stockholm","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Folkmusikhuset - Skeppis","source":"events/sweden/stockholm.yaml"},{"name":"Irish set dancing","links":["https://tanzhaus-innsbruck.jimdofree.com/"],"start":"2024-02-18T17:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-18T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Innsbruck","styles":["irish-set"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Tanzhaus Innsbruck","source":"events/austria/innsbruck.yaml"},{"name":"Potańcówka Karnawałowa","details":"Ośrodek Działań Społeczno-Kulturalnych „Piast”, Rękodzielnicza 1, 54-135 Wrocław","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/412763521192191/"],"start":"2024-02-18T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-18T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Wrocław","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"free","organisation":"Celtycki Wrocław","source":"events/poland/wroclaw.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Crewkerne","details":"French + Breton dance with live music","links":["https://balcrew.wixsite.com/balcrewkerne"],"start":"2024-02-18T18:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-02-18T21:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Crewkerne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"£4","organisation":"Bal Crewkerne","source":"events/uk/crewkerne.yaml"},{"name":"Brownsville English Country Dance","details":"Brownsville ECD is held in the Town Hall of West Windsor (Brownsville), Vermont. \n\n1:00 Dances for more experienced dancers*\n1:45 Beginners introduction to terms and movements – Everyone welcome!\n2:00 General Dance – Everyone welcome!\n\nPotluck snack table.

Let me count the ways….\nThere is something for everyone!\nSome people love ECD for the music—we dance to beautiful tunes taken from classical arrangements, old ballads, and the modern era. Others love ECD for its uncomplicated moves that are chained together to form intricate, lyrical patterns. And almost everyone loves ECD for the communal dance experience, which can be energizing, mesmerizing, and just plain fun! \nNo dance partner necessary!\nDon’t have a dance partner to bring with you? No problem! Just come alone. ECDA culture is that couples change partners at the end of every dance and no one sits out unless they want to. \nNo experience necessary!\nNever tried this before? No problem! Unlike in the movies, every ECDA dance starts with a walkthrough, during which the caller teaches the dancers what to do, and then continues to “Call” (give instruction and prompt the moves) throughout the entire dance. And, like other new skills, the terminology and moves used in ECD get easier with time and practice. Regular ECDA dances are beginner friendly and the atmosphere is supportive of new dancers. \nNo fancy uniforms!\nYou may have seen ECD on TV before but English Country Dance in the 21st century is not all Regency Balls and period costumes (although there is certainly a time and a place for that—check out these suggestions for the Saturday night Ball at each year’s Fandango! dance weekend). No special clothing is needed for our regular ECDA dances other than clean, soft-soled shoes that won’t scruff up the dance floor. \nSee for yourself. Here are clips of a group of ECDA dancers practicing in advance for the Saturday night Ball to be held during Fandango! 2015. Clips show the “walk through” and then the dance itself with calling by Everett Lunsford and music by ‘Round Robbin: Robbin Marcus (piano), Dave Marcus (concertina), and Meredith Doster (flute).","links":["https://ecdatlanta.org/schedule.htm","https://cdss.org/event/ecd-atlanta-regular-dance/2024-02-25/"],"start":"2024-02-25T14:30:00-05:00","end":"2024-02-25T17:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"GA","city":"Atlanta","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Reelplay"],"callers":["Laura Hudlow"],"price":"$9","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Las Vegas Contra Dance","details":"Monthly Contra dance.

Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en wat variaties daarin. Hoe zit het met stapjes, wat kun je aan variaties in deze dans en zijn er andere choreographieën mogelijk? Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-292-rotterdam-bourree-in-2-variaties-1/"],"start":"2024-02-29T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-29T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599532390388/"],"start":"2024-02-29T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-02-29T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing Fish","links":["https://dancingfish.dance/"],"start_date":"2024-03-01","end_date":"2024-03-02","country":"USA","state":"FL","city":"Melrose","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Old-Time Superstars"],"callers":["Will Mentor"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Contra Dance","details":"Weekly Contra Dance – See our website for this week’s band and caller(s).\nMostly contras with occasional squares, mixers, four facing fours, and more. \n7:30pm New Dancer Lesson; 8:00pm to 10:30pm dancing \n$5 to $20 sliding scale \nOur role terms are Larks and Robins \nMasks are required on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays.","links":["https://thursdaycontra.com/","https://cdss.org/event/thursday-contra-dance-in-philadelphia/2024-02-29/"],"start":"2024-02-29T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2024-02-29T22:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"PA","city":"Philadelphia","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$5-$20","organisation":"PATMAD","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Docent deze week is Leo. We gaan verder aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en brengen deze nog een niveautje hoger. Stapjes, variaties en choreographieën daar gelaten, hoe krijg je lol, energie en connectie met je danspartner in deze koppeldans op afstand? Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-294-rotterdam-spelen-in-en-met-bourree-in-2/"],"start":"2024-03-07T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-07T22:00:00+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/event/balfolk-with-balbuzar","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2058","https://www.facebook.com/events/903947683945844"],"start":"2024-03-07T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-07T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Balbuzar"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Pop-up Ceilidh","links":["https://popupceilidh.co.uk/dates/pop-up-ceilidh-the-bedford-3-2024-03-07/"],"start":"2024-03-07T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-07T22:15:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddle Paradiddle"],"price":"£16.50","organisation":"Pop Up Ceilidh London","source":"events/uk/london_miscellany.yaml"},{"name":"Workshop and concert","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1655955738492559/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599535723721/"],"start":"2024-03-07T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-07T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Augustas Černiauskas"],"price":"30-50 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Contra Dance","details":"Weekly Contra Dance – See our website for this week’s band and caller(s).\nMostly contras with occasional squares, mixers, four facing fours, and more. \n7:30pm New Dancer Lesson; 8:00pm to 10:30pm dancing \n$5 to $20 sliding scale \nOur role terms are Larks and Robins \nMasks are required on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays.","links":["https://thursdaycontra.com/","https://cdss.org/event/thursday-contra-dance-in-philadelphia/2024-03-07/"],"start":"2024-03-07T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2024-03-07T22:30:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"PA","city":"Philadelphia","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$5-$20","organisation":"PATMAD","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Binnen willen we graag dat je niet op buitenschoenen loopt. Dansschoenen, sokken, sloffen, blote voeten is allemaal prima, er ligt een fijne houten vloer.\nFeather and Fox\nFeather and Fox is a Belgo-German balfolk duo. Victor and Christiane met in a Berlin summer on the banks of the Spree. From the very beginning, the duo plays for dancers and is inspired by their energy. Playful and sensitive, they explore the sound possibilities in the interplay of the twelve strings of mandolin and cello, creating a unique sound at once feather-light and energy-driven.\n\n\n \nFlos\nFlos is geboren in de bergen en vervlecht de klanken van Yvette (gitaar), Kris (contrabas), Lennaert (cello) en Renske (saxofoon). Met eigen composities en bestaande melodieën laten zij hun voorliefde voor de balfolkmuziek samenstromen.

All dances are taught and prompted, and feature live music. \nYou’ll hear our callers use the terms Larks and Robins. Larks dance on the left side of a pair of dancers; Robins dance on the right side. \nContra dancing is fun and vigorous! Wear comfortable clothes and clean shoes. No black heels and no dance powder allowed on the floor. \nFlexible admission rates for in-person dances: \n\nAdult admission: pay what you can between $8 to $15+ to help support our dances.\nAdults just listening (not dancing) $5\nStudents $5\nChildren under 16 free\n\nThe Atchisons \nMelissa and Bob Atchison have been playing for barn dances since the early 1980s. Their music has been influenced by old-time Missouri fiddlers, and music of the Ozarks. They love playing for dances because of the joy the dancers experience. As a duo of just guitar and fiddle they bring a surprising amount of energy and fun to Lawrence Barn dances. \nJill Allen \nSoon after receiving a B.E. in Dance Performance at the University of Kansas, Jill Allen came upon her first local country dance in the early 1980’s, unaware of how deeply it would change her life. It was love at first step and she never looked back. Her tap dancing became clogging and soon she learned to call for dances, with a hunger to teach every style she learned. With experience in dance education, Jill was a natural boss on the dance floor. Jill also organized dances for many years, and played piano for dances with the band “Fox on the Run” for 15 years. \nHer calling has been described as fun, easy to follow, and musical, with no time wasted getting a group of all ages and abilities up and dancing to the music. She is full-service caller with over thirty years of experience, well versed in Contras, Squares, English Country, Family Dances, Clogging, and couple dances.","links":["https://cdss.org/event/lawrence-ks-contra-dance/","https://www.facebook.com/events/365991896326524/"],"start":"2024-03-09T19:00:00-06:00","end":"2024-03-09T22:00:00-06:00","country":"USA","state":"KS","city":"Lawrence","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Atchisons"],"callers":["Jill Allen"],"price":"$5-$15","organisation":"Lawrence Barn Dance Association","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"English Country Dance","details":"Monthly English Country Dance","links":["https://www.nttds.org/","https://cdss.org/event/english-country-dance-in-dallas/2024-03-09/"],"start":"2024-03-09T19:30:00-06:00","end":"2024-03-09T22:30:00-06:00","country":"USA","state":"TX","city":"Dallas","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$5-$10","organisation":"North Texas Traditional Dance Society (NTTDS)","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Zesty Contra Dance","details":"The Zesty contra dance is for dancers with some experience with dancing.

Let me count the ways….\nThere is something for everyone!\nSome people love ECD for the music—we dance to beautiful tunes taken from classical arrangements, old ballads, and the modern era. Others love ECD for its uncomplicated moves that are chained together to form intricate, lyrical patterns. And almost everyone loves ECD for the communal dance experience, which can be energizing, mesmerizing, and just plain fun! \nNo dance partner necessary!\nDon’t have a dance partner to bring with you? No problem! Just come alone. ECDA culture is that couples change partners at the end of every dance and no one sits out unless they want to. \nNo experience necessary!\nNever tried this before? No problem! Unlike in the movies, every ECDA dance starts with a walkthrough, during which the caller teaches the dancers what to do, and then continues to “Call” (give instruction and prompt the moves) throughout the entire dance. And, like other new skills, the terminology and moves used in ECD get easier with time and practice. Regular ECDA dances are beginner friendly and the atmosphere is supportive of new dancers. \nNo fancy uniforms!\nYou may have seen ECD on TV before but English Country Dance in the 21st century is not all Regency Balls and period costumes (although there is certainly a time and a place for that—check out these suggestions for the Saturday night Ball at each year’s Fandango! dance weekend). No special clothing is needed for our regular ECDA dances other than clean, soft-soled shoes that won’t scruff up the dance floor. \nSee for yourself. Here are clips of a group of ECDA dancers practicing in advance for the Saturday night Ball to be held during Fandango! 2015. Clips show the “walk through” and then the dance itself with calling by Everett Lunsford and music by ‘Round Robbin: Robbin Marcus (piano), Dave Marcus (concertina), and Meredith Doster (flute).","links":["https://ecdatlanta.org/schedule.htm","https://cdss.org/event/ecd-atlanta-regular-dance/2024-03-10/"],"start":"2024-03-10T14:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-03-10T17:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"GA","city":"Atlanta","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$9","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Dance, Sing, and Jump Around","details":"a family dance for all ages\ncircle and line dances and singing games\nall dances taught and called by Liz Benjamin and Stan Carlson\n live traditional music by Joanne Garton and her young musicians\nCapital City Grange 6612 Vermont Route 12, with lots of free, safe parking\nFree for kids, $5 suggested donation for adults, but no one is turned away!\n(see the website for how to make a tax-deductible donation!)\nfmi: 802-223-1509","links":["https://cdss.org/event/dance-sing-and-jump-around/2024-03-10/"],"start":"2024-03-10T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2024-03-10T16:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Berlin","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$5","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"The Portland Roadhouse","details":"A Northwest Contradance Showcase.

Docent deze week is Noelia. We gaan verder aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en wat variaties daarin. Hoe zit het met stapjes, wat kun je aan variaties in deze dans en zijn er andere choreographieën mogelijk? Deze les is er ook volop ruimte voor improvisatie en input vanuit dansers zelf, dus heb je zelf ideeën of wil je wel eens wat uitproberen in deze dans? Dit is je kans! Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los 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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-293-rotterdam-bourree-in-2-variaties-2/"],"start":"2024-03-14T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tobotorsdag","links":["https://esitobo.org/evenemang/tobotorsdag/"],"start":"2024-03-14T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Söderfors Brukskapell"],"organisation":"Eric Sahlström Institutet","source":"events/sweden/uppsala.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-03-14T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-14T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/419960610691943/"],"start":"2024-03-14T19:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-14T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Frankfurt","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Selma","Andreas Neumann"],"organisation":"Folkclub Frankfurt","source":"events/germany/frankfurt.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1370561307160292/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1055599489057059/1055599522390389/"],"start":"2024-03-14T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-14T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Contra Dance","details":"Weekly Contra Dance – See our website for this week’s band and caller(s).\nMostly contras with occasional squares, mixers, four facing fours, and more. \n7:30pm New Dancer Lesson; 8:00pm to 10:30pm dancing \n$5 to $20 sliding scale \nOur role terms are Larks and Robins \nMasks are required on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays.","links":["https://thursdaycontra.com/","https://cdss.org/event/thursday-contra-dance-in-philadelphia/2024-03-14/"],"start":"2024-03-14T19:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-03-14T22:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"PA","city":"Philadelphia","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$5-$20","organisation":"PATMAD","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Will you be team Landeda, Barbatre, Saint Vincent…or maybe Argenton?\nMikuláš Bryan has been sharing his love for dancing since 2003, with teaching experience ranging from small, focused workshops to classes for several hundreds people at festivals like Gennetines or Boombal. He studied folk dancing in Brittany, dancing and performing with Cercle Celtique de Rennes, but also took a deep dive into couple dancing at several blues camps. His other dancing background consists of tango, swing, salsa and balboa with occasional jazz and contemporary workshops. While approaching every dance with deep respect for its roots and traditions, he always aspires to expand its horizons and create a bridge between tradition and modernity.\n—\nMacht Kreis- und Kettentänze wieder lebendig!\nGruppentänze im BalFolk sind einfach…Wirklich?\nEntdeckt die wahre Magie der Kreistänze und helft mit sie mit anderen zu teilen. \nBetretet den sicheren Raum, der sich darauf konzentriert, die natürlichen Bewegungskonzepte wiederzuentdecken und das Konzept der Biomechanik zu erfahren, die es uns erlauben werden, das gemeinsame Tanzen von Kreis- und Kettentänze auf eine dynamischere und verbundenere Weise zu genießen.

Wird das Rond de Landeda, Rond de Barbatre oder vielleicht Rond d’Argenton sein?\nMikuláš Bryan gibt seine Liebe zum Tanzen seit 2003 weiter. Seine Unterrichtserfahrung reicht von kleinen, gezielten Workshops bis hin zu Kursen für mehrere hundert Personen auf Festivals wie Gennetines oder Boombal. Er studierte Folktanz in der Bretagne, tanzte und trat mit dem Cercle Celtique de Rennes auf, tauchte aber auch bei mehreren Blues-Camps tief in den Paartanz ein. Sein weiterer tänzerischer Hintergrund besteht aus Tango, Swing, Salsa und Balboa mit gelegentlichen Jazz- und zeitgenössischen Workshops. Er nähert sich jedem Tanz mit tiefem Respekt für seine Wurzeln und Traditionen, ist aber immer bestrebt, seinen Horizont zu erweitern und eine Brücke zwischen Tradition und Moderne zu schlagen.\n—\n*Vollermäßigung mit Nachweis: SchülerInnen, StudentInnen, Auszubildende, Berechtigungsnachweis für das Berlin-Ticket S, Schwerbeschädigte ab 50 %","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/ws24-03"],"start":"2024-03-16T11:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-16T14:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€14-€24","organisation":"Spreefolk eV","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance for Beginners - Level 2","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/folk-dance-for-beginners-level-2/944/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2049","https://www.facebook.com/events/684404363797308"],"start":"2024-03-16T13:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-16T18:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€20-€55","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.canardfolk.be/agenda-et-jams-2/agenda-et-jams/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2082"],"start":"2024-03-16T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-16T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Grandmenil","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Findus","Tout Bout D'chants"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Homecoming Album Release English Country Dance","details":"Music: Alex Cumming, accordion & piano; Audrey Jaber, fiddle\nCalling: Barbara Finney & Brad Foster\nSound: Jesse Ball\nAdmission: $15-$25 Sliding Scale \nAlex Cumming’s new album Homecoming is on pre-sale now and will be released February 28, and Alex & Audrey will be on an album release tour in March.

Docent deze week is Noelia, die een uitstapje en eerste kennismaking maakt naar dansen uit de regio Limousin: de bal limousin, ronde de chantecorps en mogelijk ook de marachine. Voorkennis van deze dansen is niet nodig, gewoon lekker meedoen!\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-295-rotterdam-congo-de-captieux-repasseado/"],"start":"2024-03-21T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-21T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Ratisbonne","links":["https://www.balfolk-ratisbonne.net/"],"start":"2024-03-21T18:45:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-24T14:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Regensburg","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Zeitarbeit","La Sylva","Rokkende Vrouwen","Duo Fiorini & Brunel","Laüsa","Duo l'Hêtre Heureux","Autour de Bȃle"],"price":"€90-€140","organisation":"Balfolk Ratisbonne","source":"events/germany/ratisbonne.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel hier alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van Duo Pacher-Roblin en PFM!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop Maraîchine en Avant Deux\n20:30 Bal met PFM!\n21:00 Bal met Duo Pacher-Roblin\n23:00 Sessie\n\nBands\n\n \tDUO PACHER-ROBLIN\n\nRepertoires uit twee Franse regio's worden met talent en passie samengebracht door dit prachtige duo. Met Christian Pacher op viool, accordeons en zang, en Benoît Roblin op draailier en zang combineren ze hun rijke en mooie ervaring ten dienste van de dans.\n\n \tPFM!\n\nPFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar (en een beetje trekzak). Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld.\nFrans is het meest actief in het schrijven van nieuwe nummers. Hij zoekt de variatie op door te experimenteren met toonladders, maar weet ook nog origineel te zijn binnen A-mineur. Geregeld bedenkt hij iets wat later eigenlijk te moeilijk blijkt om zelf te spelen, maar dat weerhoudt hem er niet van blijven proberen excellente composities te produceren. Frans heeft ervaring in verschillende bandsettingen en actief in Balfolk Amsterdam; hij geeft dansles en mede-organiseert bals, waaronder de maandelijkse dansavond in café Mezrab.\nMaurits is een klassiek geschoold virtuoos violist en het muzikale geweten van de band. Hij weet meestal precies te duiden waar muzikale verbeteringen zitten. Verder speelt hij graag sessie.\nPieter was actief binnen pop, punk en kleinkunst, maar speelt sinds 2010 voornamelijk balfolk en PFM! is zijn alweer derde bandje. Hij is een enthousiast slaggitarist en probeert de twee solo-instrumenten begeleidend tegelijkertijd voor gitarist en drummer te spelen.\nHet trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er wordt geconcentreerd op de meest gangbare balfolkdansen zodat alle balfolkies het hele optreden op de dansvloer kunnen blijven.\nAlle drie de bandleden zijn enthousiaste dansers, maar staan ook graag op het podium, daarom zeggen zij: boek ons!\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.

Deze Belgische gitarist speelt al gitaar sinds zijn 9e, waarop hij al snel in het (bal)folkcircuit terechtkwam. Hij is bekend van balfolkgroepen als Duo De Schepper-Sanczuk, Broes, Loogaroo. Met al bijna twintig jaar internationale ervaring zorgt Florian ervoor met slechts een gitaar een gevarieerd bal te brengen. Zijn muziek wordt gekenmerkt door zijn ritmische spel, mooie harmonisaties en krachtige solo's; heel fijn om balfolk op te dansen! \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. Reserveren is niet nodig, je kunt vrij naar wens binnen komen lopen en de dansvloer opstappen. \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\n20:30: Start dansuitleg\n21:30: Bal!\n23:30: Deuren sluiten\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. Je kunt naar binnen bij de hoofdingang aan Schouwburgplein 50, dan word je vanzelf de goede kant op gewezen. \n\nEten\nVoorafgaand aan het bal een hapje eten is mogelijk. In De Doelen zelf kun je aanschuiven bij het buffet van Maher’s kitchen vanaf 18.00 uur. Daarvoor moet je wel even reserveren.  In de omgeving van De Doelen is ook ruim voldoende horeca aanwezig voor iets te eten vantevoren.\n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

Keineswegs. Dennoch verspricht der Abend irgendwie ‚magisch‘ und ‚zauberhaft‘ zu werden.\nDie rhythmische, spirituelle und vor allem die soziale Energie von Tarantella, Pizzica und Tammurriata beflügelt seit Jahren im italienischen Süden jugendliche Massen. Dazu kommt in Italien ein großes Interesse an europäischem BalFolk – im Norden, aber zunehmend auch im Süden des Landes.\nEs gibt also viel „Italianità“ zu entdecken: Beliebte Tänze Norditaliens sowie ein Eintauchen in die Tarantella-Welt des Südens. Und manche vertrauten und beliebten Balfolk-Tänze lassen sich an diesem Abend auch einmal in anderen, italienischen Musikfarben genießen.\nDie Ensembles KÖRDEBÖF und I PIZZICATI sind sich durch ihre gemeinsamen Liebe zu Italien begegnet und haben inzwischen viele fröhliche Musizierstunden, Konzerte und Tanz-Sessions zusammen erlebt. In italienisch-deutscher Besetzung laden sie zu einem tänzerisch-musikalischen „giro d’Italia“ ein!\nDuo Kördeböf – Foto: privat\n* Das Programm\n19:00 Uhr Workshop (Tänze aus Nord-, Mittel- und Süditalien)\n20:30 Uhr Tanzabend!

Let me count the ways….\nThere is something for everyone!\nSome people love ECD for the music—we dance to beautiful tunes taken from classical arrangements, old ballads, and the modern era. Others love ECD for its uncomplicated moves that are chained together to form intricate, lyrical patterns. And almost everyone loves ECD for the communal dance experience, which can be energizing, mesmerizing, and just plain fun! \nNo dance partner necessary!\nDon’t have a dance partner to bring with you? No problem! Just come alone. ECDA culture is that couples change partners at the end of every dance and no one sits out unless they want to. \nNo experience necessary!\nNever tried this before? No problem! Unlike in the movies, every ECDA dance starts with a walkthrough, during which the caller teaches the dancers what to do, and then continues to “Call” (give instruction and prompt the moves) throughout the entire dance. And, like other new skills, the terminology and moves used in ECD get easier with time and practice. Regular ECDA dances are beginner friendly and the atmosphere is supportive of new dancers. \nNo fancy uniforms!\nYou may have seen ECD on TV before but English Country Dance in the 21st century is not all Regency Balls and period costumes (although there is certainly a time and a place for that—check out these suggestions for the Saturday night Ball at each year’s Fandango! dance weekend). No special clothing is needed for our regular ECDA dances other than clean, soft-soled shoes that won’t scruff up the dance floor. \nSee for yourself. Here are clips of a group of ECDA dancers practicing in advance for the Saturday night Ball to be held during Fandango! 2015. Clips show the “walk through” and then the dance itself with calling by Everett Lunsford and music by ‘Round Robbin: Robbin Marcus (piano), Dave Marcus (concertina), and Meredith Doster (flute).","links":["https://ecdatlanta.org/schedule.htm","https://cdss.org/event/ecd-atlanta-regular-dance/2024-03-24/"],"start":"2024-03-24T14:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-03-24T17:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"GA","city":"Atlanta","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$9","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"English Country Dance","details":"All are welcome to join us for another very fine afternoon of English Country Dance.

Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. We gaan aan de slag met de polska zoals deze in balfolk gedanst wordt. Geen eenvoudige dans, en meters maken is het advies, maar de stapjes en techniek goed onder de knie krijgen is fijn. Dit is de eerste van twee lessen, volgende week de volgende. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen, maar ze beide doen is wel aan te raden vanwege de kracht van de herhaling.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-296-rotterdam-polska-1/"],"start":"2024-03-28T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-03-28T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-03-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Spring Ceilidh","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/2699095653722755/"],"start":"2024-03-28T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-03-28T22:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Carharrack","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Rosevilles Ceilidh Band"],"callers":["Kate Smith"],"price":"£5-£7.50","organisation":"Ceilidh Cornwall","source":"events/uk/carharrack.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak.\n\n\n\n*** 23:00-1:00 JAMSESSIE ***\nNa 23:00 mag je gratis naar binnen, want vanaf nu is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. 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. Net pas begonnen met muziek of levenslange ervaring? Iedereen is welkom! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!\n\n\n\n*** VERSNAPERINGEN ***\nIn de bar kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Drakenspeciaalbiertje!

Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. We gaan verder met de polska zoals deze in balfolk gedanst wordt. Geen eenvoudige dans, en meters maken is het advies, maar de stapjes en techniek goed onder de knie krijgen is fijn. Dit is de tweede van de lessen, vorige week was de vorige met de baiss. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen, maar ze beide doen is wel aan te raden vanwege de kracht van de herhaling.\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-297-rotterdam-polska-2/"],"start":"2024-04-04T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-04T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"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/event/tanzlernabend-mazurka-walzer"],"start":"2024-04-04T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-04T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Pop-up Ceilidh","links":["https://popupceilidh.co.uk/dates/pop-up-ceilidh-the-bedford-3-2024-04-04/"],"start":"2024-04-04T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-04-04T22:15:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Fiddle Paradiddle"],"price":"£16.50","organisation":"Pop Up Ceilidh London","source":"events/uk/london_miscellany.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Deze week geeft Xander een beginners les Røros pols (onder begeleiding van levende muziek). Dat is een Noorse dans die veel gedanst en gespeeld wordt binnen het circuit van het Scandinavisch dansen. Energieker en met meer ruimte voor improvisatie dan de polska en de Røros pols kan gedanst worden op veel van de snellere \"balfolk polska's\" dus is het een mooie aanvulling op jouw dansen! Met live-muziek dus, en mogelijk spelen zij ook nog mee tijdens het vrijdansen....\n\nProgramma\n\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-298-rotterdam-noordse-dansen/"],"start":"2024-04-11T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tobotorsdag","links":["https://esitobo.org/evenemang/tobotorsdag/"],"start":"2024-04-11T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Uppsala Spelmanslag"],"organisation":"Eric Sahlström Institutet","source":"events/sweden/uppsala.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Margarete-Grundmann-Haus","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Workshopabende.html"],"start":"2024-04-11T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Contra Dance","details":"Weekly Contra Dance – See our website for this week’s band and caller(s).\nMostly contras with occasional squares, mixers, four facing fours, and more. \n7:30pm New Dancer Lesson; 8:00pm to 10:30pm dancing \n$5 to $20 sliding scale \nOur role terms are Larks and Robins \nMasks are required on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays.","links":["https://thursdaycontra.com/","https://cdss.org/event/thursday-contra-dance-in-philadelphia/2024-04-11/"],"start":"2024-04-11T19:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"PA","city":"Philadelphia","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$5-$20","organisation":"PATMAD","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Het café serveert eten: Het meebrengen van eigen eten is niet toegestaan, wel waterflesjes).\n19:00-19:30 Luisteren naar AKLEJA\nBoven in het cafe kun je na het open podium luisteren naar het prachtige duo Akleja uit Zuid-Duitsland. Akleja speelt instrumentale volksmuziek op nyckelharpa, gitaar en citer en verkent muzikaal wat hen na aan het hart ligt - de natuur, relaties en ontroerende momenten. Ze worden vooral beïnvloed door dansmuziekdeuntjes die in oude muziekboeken sluimeren en weer tot leven willen worden gewekt, en door de muzikale traditie van Zweden, het thuisland van de nyckelharpa. Ze gaan hun eigen weg met hun muziek en creëren een unieke klankwereld vol vreugde en sfeer. Met hun meeslepende spel en hun fijne arrangementen schilderen ze muzikale beelden en nemen ze hun publiek moeiteloos mee uit het leven van alledag. Donaties zijn welkom!\n\n19:30-20:00 BAL met CIONA (kelder)\nCiona is doedelzakmuziek voor fijnproevers. Wouter Koenders en Anouk van Leeuwen spelen op twee doedelzakken meerstemmige dansmuziek. Ze spelen een combinatie van zelfgeschreven en traditionele melodieën, met vaak eigen arrangement met prachtige harmonieën.\n20:00-21:30  LIVE BAND   Duo Gilles Chabenat & Daniela Heiderich\nGilles Chabenat is zonder twijfel een van de meest gerenommeerde draailierspelers. Hij maakt deel uit van de muzikanten die een belangrijke rol spelen in de nieuwe en verdere ontwikkeling van dit instrument in de hedendaagse muziek. Als componist zijn veel van zijn stukken standaardmateriaal geworden in de Franse balfolk scene.\n\nMet de haakharp, de Franse doedelzak en haar stem creëert Daniela Heiderich veelzijdige klankwerelden. Daniela studeerde haar instrumenten in traditionele muziek aan het Centre d’Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/Frankrijk. Ze hield zich intensief bezig met de geschiedenis en het spel van de rondtrekkende harpspelers die de afgelopen eeuwen door Europa en de wereldbol reisden. In de regio Limousin specialiseerde ze zich in het bespelen van verschillende soorten doedelzakken die daar en in aangrenzende regio’s voorkomen, zoals de Cabrette, de Chabrette of de Cornemuse du Centre.\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgZcFehSJ4c[/embed]\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi6Opq-r0q4[/embed]\n\n21:30-... SESSIE in café met David Cornelissen.\nVoorafgaand aan het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen.  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! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!\n\n\n \n\nENTREE: 10 / 15 / 20 :\nBudget €10\nRegular €15\nSupport €20\n\nLOCATIE\nCafé Station Zuid\nErasmusstraat 9 ‘s-Hertogenbosch\n\nROUTE\n\nOpenbaar vervoer:\nHet Bal is te bereiken met OV, hiervoor kun je naar ’s-Hertogenbosch Centraal of ‘s-Hertogenbosch Oost komen.

Let me count the ways….\nThere is something for everyone!\nSome people love ECD for the music—we dance to beautiful tunes taken from classical arrangements, old ballads, and the modern era. Others love ECD for its uncomplicated moves that are chained together to form intricate, lyrical patterns. And almost everyone loves ECD for the communal dance experience, which can be energizing, mesmerizing, and just plain fun! \nNo dance partner necessary!\nDon’t have a dance partner to bring with you? No problem! Just come alone. ECDA culture is that couples change partners at the end of every dance and no one sits out unless they want to. \nNo experience necessary!\nNever tried this before? No problem! Unlike in the movies, every ECDA dance starts with a walkthrough, during which the caller teaches the dancers what to do, and then continues to “Call” (give instruction and prompt the moves) throughout the entire dance. And, like other new skills, the terminology and moves used in ECD get easier with time and practice. Regular ECDA dances are beginner friendly and the atmosphere is supportive of new dancers. \nNo fancy uniforms!\nYou may have seen ECD on TV before but English Country Dance in the 21st century is not all Regency Balls and period costumes (although there is certainly a time and a place for that—check out these suggestions for the Saturday night Ball at each year’s Fandango! dance weekend). No special clothing is needed for our regular ECDA dances other than clean, soft-soled shoes that won’t scruff up the dance floor. \nSee for yourself. Here are clips of a group of ECDA dancers practicing in advance for the Saturday night Ball to be held during Fandango! 2015. Clips show the “walk through” and then the dance itself with calling by Everett Lunsford and music by ‘Round Robbin: Robbin Marcus (piano), Dave Marcus (concertina), and Meredith Doster (flute).","links":["https://ecdatlanta.org/schedule.htm","https://cdss.org/event/ecd-atlanta-regular-dance/2024-04-14/"],"start":"2024-04-14T14:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-04-14T17:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"GA","city":"Atlanta","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$9","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Dance, Sing, and Jump Around","details":"a family dance for all ages\ncircle and line dances and singing games\nall dances taught and called by Liz Benjamin and Stan Carlson\n live traditional music by Joanne Garton and her young musicians\nCapital City Grange 6612 Vermont Route 12, with lots of free, safe parking\nFree for kids, $5 suggested donation for adults, but no one is turned away!\n(see the website for how to make a tax-deductible donation!)\nfmi: 802-223-1509","links":["https://cdss.org/event/dance-sing-and-jump-around/2024-04-14/"],"start":"2024-04-14T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2024-04-14T16:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Berlin","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$5","organisation":"CDSS","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"English Country Dance","details":"All are welcome to join us for another very fine afternoon of English Country Dance.

Met een losse les vooraf van Sophie van Grinsven genaamd Posture and Partnering.\n\nProgramma\n19:00 – inloop\n19:10 – begin losse les Posture and Partnering\n20:10 – einde losse les\n20:15 – Duo Chabenat / Heiderich\n21:45 – Einde\n22:00 – Sluiting\nWorkshop Beschrijving\nBalfolk dansen doe je niet alleen, maar samen! In een koppel, in een kleine groep of met een grote groep dansers. Je danspartner is een van de sleutelelementen in balfolk, vandaar dat het ook belangrijk is om te weten wat allemaal invloed heeft op je connectie met je danspartner. Zo kan je eigen lichaamsspanning invloed hebben op het leiden of geleid worden. De manier waarop je je voeten gebruikt, de verbinding met de vloer, heeft invloed op je balans en daarmee ook op je danspartner.\n\nIn deze workshop gaan we op onderzoek uit en leren we op welke manier we leiden en volgen. We gaan aan de slag met welke elementen je kunt inzetten om betere connectie te maken met je danspartner en wat er voor nodig is om te volgen. Termen als houding, frame, vormspanning en basisspanning zul je veel horen deze avond! We werken vanuit verschillende achtergronden (balfolk, balroom/latin en hedendaagse dans), om zo kennis te maken met een breed scala aan tools die onze partnering verbeteren.\n\nBand Beschrijving\n\nGilles Chabenat is zonder twijfel een van de meest gerenommeerde draailierspelers. Hij maakt deel uit van de muzikanten die een belangrijke rol spelen in de nieuwe en verdere ontwikkeling van dit instrument in de hedendaagse muziek. Als componist zijn veel van zijn stukken standaardmateriaal geworden in de Franse balfolk scene.\n\nMet de haakharp, de Franse doedelzak en haar stem creëert Daniela Heiderich veelzijdige klankwerelden. Daniela studeerde haar instrumenten in traditionele muziek aan het Centre d'Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/Frankrijk. Ze hield zich intensief bezig met de geschiedenis en het spel van de rondtrekkende harpspelers die de afgelopen eeuwen door Europa en de wereldbol reisden. In de regio Limousin specialiseerde ze zich in het bespelen van verschillende soorten doedelzakken die daar en in aangrenzende regio's voorkomen, zoals de Cabrette, de Chabrette of de Cornemuse du Centre.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/vJ-TvB7HWZs\nhttps://youtu.be/Xi6Opq-r0q4\nReserveren en Prijzen\nVoor de seizoensafsluiting hoef je niet te reserveren. Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je bij de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen. Losse les kost €5, de losse les is gratis voor de deelnemers van The Winter Classes. Prijzen voor het bal:\n\n \t€13,- (Normaaltarief),\n \t€15,- (Fair-Trade),\n \t€10,- (Kortingstarief).\n\nFair Trade\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, 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 :)\nOverig\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. De bar van de Moira is gesloten. Voel je vrij om je eigen drank mee te nemen. We vragen je om na het einde, de Moira stilletjes te verlaten en geen geluid te maken voor het gebouw.\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.\nLocatie\nHet 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. Er is geen lift.\n\n\n\n** English **\n\n\n\nWe end the season with Duo Chabenat / Heiderich with hook harp, hurdy-gurdy and singing. This will be preceded by a single lesson by Sophie van Grinsven called Posture and Partnering, see dutch version for the description.\n\nGilles Chabenat is without a doubt one of the most renowned hurdy-gurdy players. He is one of the musicians who play an important role in the new and further development of this instrument in contemporary music. As a composer, many of his pieces have become standard material in the French balfolk scene.\n\nWith the hook harp, french bagpipe and her voice, Daniela Heiderich creates multifaceted sound worlds. Daniela studied her instruments in traditional music at the Center d'Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/France. She dealt intensively with the history and playing of the itinerant harp players who have traveled through Europe and across the globe over the past centuries. In the Limousin region she specialized in playing various types of bagpipes native there and in neighboring regions, such as the Cabrette, the Chabrette or the Cornemuse du Centre.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/vJ-TvB7HWZs\nhttps://youtu.be/Xi6Opq-r0q4\nProgramme\n19:00 – Walk-in\n19:10 – start single lesson Posture and Partnering\n20:10 – end single lesson\n20:15 – Duo Chabenat / Heiderich\n21:45 – End\n22:00 – Closure\nReservation and Prices\nYou do not need to make a reservation. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. NB! You pay cash at the door. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register. Single lesson costs €5, but it is free for the participants of The Winter Classes. Prices for the ball:\n\n \t€13,- (normal rate),\n \t€15,- (Fair Trade),\n \t€10,- (discount rate).\n\nFair Trade\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)\nRemainder\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. The bar of Moira is closed. Feel free to bring your own drinks. We ask you to leave the Moira quietly after the end and not to make any noise in front of the building.\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.\nLocation\nIt 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. There is no elevator.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/minibaljanma2024/"],"start":"2024-04-15T19:10:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-15T21:45:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Chabenat-Heiderich"],"price":"€10-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 3","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/dance-class-level-3-mechelen/966/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2158","https://www.facebook.com/events/857219352828772/857220196162021/"],"start":"2024-04-15T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-15T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Mechelen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Dance Class Level 5","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/dance-class-level-5/968/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2161","https://www.facebook.com/events/935588281277116/935588337943777/"],"start":"2024-04-15T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-15T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"French/Breton Dance Night","details":"Bayston Hill Memorial Hall","links":["https://www.facebook.com/groups/708663859216372/posts/7321248247957867/"],"start":"2024-04-15T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-04-15T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Shrewsbury","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":null,"source":"events/uk/shrewsbury.yaml"},{"name":"Gainesville English Country Dance","details":"We dance to live music by Hoggetowne Fancy every Monday at United Church of Gainesville, 1624 NW 5th Avenue.

Docent deze week zijn Johan en Anika. We gaan aan de slag met de congo de captieux en de repassaeado. Het zijn weinig voorkomende balfolkdansen, maar ze zijn wel ontzettend leuk om samen te dansen en mede daarom brengen we ze graag onder de aandacht. Voorkennis van deze dansen is niet nodig, gewoon lekker meedoen!\n\nProgramma\n\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 het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-299-rotterdam-poitou-dansen-1/"],"start":"2024-04-18T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-18T22:00:00+02:00","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/event/tanzlernabend-kettentaenze"],"start":"2024-04-18T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-18T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk in de Mezrab\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde donderdag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam. Bestel hier alvast een ticket en kom dansen op de livemuziek van La Réveilleuse en Trio Baftig!\n\nTicket\n- Voorverkoop: 16 euro\n- Aan de deur: 18 euro\nTickets >>>\n\nProgramma\n19:00 Deuren open\n19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met Gepke & Berend\n20:30 Bal met Trio Baftig\n21:00 Bal met La Réveilleuse\n23:00 Sessie\n\nBands\n\n \tLa Réveilleuse\n\nLa Réveilleuse (‘de ontwaker’) is een energiek en lumineus duo bestaande uit: Camille Lachenal (zang, clarinet) en Simon McDonell (gitaar). Zij verzorgen een bal vol levensverhalen, vrouwen en eeuwenoude bomen. De zelfgeschreven teksten van Camille, door Simon verwerkt in folkarrangementen, nodigen uit om een repertoire van originele liedjes te ontdekken, geïnspireerd door traditionele dansmuziek. Betreed de kring van vrouwen, ontmoet La Réveilleuse bij het draaien in een wals, dans een mazurka onder een kastanjeboom en verlies jezelf in het bos met een avant-deux!\n\n \tTrio Baftig\n\nWat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van ‘22 is nu officieel tot een folkmuzikantenopstelling uitgegroeid. Trio Baftig speelt zeer dansbare tunes op akkoestische gitaar (DADGAD), accordeon en viool. Manon, Robin en Sebastiaan delen een passie voor folkdans en folkmuziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo/trio speelt verassende mix tussen Ierse en 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:\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nFotocredit\nLa Réveilleuse","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-la-reveilleuse-en-duo-baftig/"],"start":"2024-04-18T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-18T23:55:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["La Réveilleuse","Trio Baftig"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Thursday Contra Dance","details":"Weekly Contra Dance – See our website for this week’s band and caller(s).\nMostly contras with occasional squares, mixers, four facing fours, and more. \n7:30pm New Dancer Lesson; 8:00pm to 10:30pm dancing \n$5 to $20 sliding scale \nOur role terms are Larks and Robins \nMasks are required on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays.","links":["https://thursdaycontra.com/","https://cdss.org/event/thursday-contra-dance-in-philadelphia/2024-04-18/"],"start":"2024-04-18T19:30:00-04:00","end":"2024-04-18T22:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"PA","city":"Philadelphia","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$5-$20","organisation":"PATMAD","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Until he discovered balfolk and the tremendous possibilities this dance family offers, both for delving into European musical traditions and hybridizing them with other dance styles. He has attended balfolk concerts, workshops, and festivals since 2010 and has been conducting national and international workshops for over ten years.\r\n\"Div Plet\" includes Lou Carrig on accordion, Isabel Sokol-Oxman on gadulka and violin, Damian Diaz Merlis on guitar, and Stiu Ivanov on percussion and kaval. The members come from different parts of the world, including Ireland, the USA, Argentina, and Bulgaria, but they all share a passion for traditional Bulgarian music.\r\n\"Bal do Mero\" is a trio of violin, clarinet, and accordion born from the restlessness and love of three musicians for folk music and dance. Sara Caballero, Rodrigo Nosequé, and Silvia von Nadie decide to shape this underwater folk fable for which they compose songs with various rhythms, always inspired by the weightlessness of the seabed. A diverse repertoire of waltzes, mazurkas, pasodobles, jotas, and muñeiras.\r\nGet ready to dance and enjoy! 🎻💃🕺\r\n\r\nStay tuned for registration form","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1468675997324950/","https://forms.gle/Ufdx8EmMW18B3Bsb7"],"start":"2024-04-20T11:00:00+03:00","end":"2024-04-20T23:45:00+03:00","country":"Bulgaria","city":"Sofia","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Bal do Mero","Div plet"],"price":"25-50 BGN","organisation":"Balfolkariya","source":"events/bulgaria/sofia.yaml"},{"name":"Elfia Haarzuilens","details":"Voorafgaand  van het optreden van Triple-X is er een introductie workshop met extra aandacht voor de houding.\n\n12:45: workshop balfolk\n\n13:45: Triple-X","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/elfia-haarzuilens-2024-zaterdag/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/elfia-haarzuilens-2024-zondag/","https://www.elfia.com/en/"],"start":"2024-04-20T10:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-21T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Haarzuilens","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Triple-X","Wouter en de Draak"],"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Workshop and Bal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1449153159003876/","https://www.facebook.com/events/910892774006541/","https://www.helloasso.com/associations/compagnie-enezeg/evenements/stage-le-dico-des-danses-trad-et-l-art-de-les-vivre"],"start":"2024-04-20T10:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-21T23:30:00+02:00","country":"France","city":"Grenoble","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Âmes Scellées"],"price":"€100-€150","organisation":"Compagnie Enezeg","source":"events/france/grenoble.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk im Hardtbergsaal","details":"Balfolk","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Aktuell.html"],"start":"2024-04-20T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-20T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["TradTöchter"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Swedish Balfolk Haarlem","details":"Neem je instrument en dansschoenen/sokken mee en kom 20 april met ons muziek maken en dansen - een mix van balfolk en zweeds dansen!\n\nWij (Hester en Anne-Wietske) willen graag meer samen muziek maken en dansen, en dat wordt natuurlijk nog leuker als jij ook komt meedoen!

We won't cover couple dances in this course.","links":["https://zeh2.zeh.hu-berlin.de/angebote/aktueller_zeitraum/_Balfolk.html"],"start":"2024-04-24T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-24T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Hoch Schul Sport","source":"events/germany/berlin.yaml"},{"name":"Lessenreeks Folkbaldansen","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2137","https://choronde.be/","https://www.facebook.com/events/945893187104190/945893217104187/"],"start":"2024-04-24T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-24T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Roeselare","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€40-€100","organisation":"Dansgroep Choronde","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Organic Dancefloor","links":["https://fraumayer.at/event/haertel-wascher-duo-and-friends-organic-dancefloor-9/"],"start":"2024-04-24T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-24T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Härtel Wascher & Friends"],"organisation":"Simon Wascher","source":"events/austria/vienna-organic-dancefloor.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2197"],"start":"2024-04-24T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-24T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gooik","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Bart Praet"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk café Nijmegen","details":"Balfolk Cafe is livemuziek, tussendoor fijne balfolkhitjes en natuurlijk sessie: dus neem ook je instrumenten mee!\n\n\nEntree: € 15,- ( € 10,- voor ieder met minder financiële draagkracht) \nGeef ruim, alles gaat 100% naar de muzikanten.\n\n20:00 dans uitleg\n21:00 Livemuziek (2 sets)\n23:00 Sessie!\n(Tijden onder voorbehoud)\n\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKTFUuUC-co[/embed]","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-cafe-nijmegen-35/"],"start":"2024-04-24T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-24T23:59:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Nijmegen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Les Bottines Artistiques"],"price":"€10-€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Interactive Folkdance Workshop","details":"Course","links":["https://stanistil.be/event/18","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2215","https://www.facebook.com/events/1092255218728136"],"start":"2024-04-24T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-25T00:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Étoile at the Gipsy Queen","links":["https://londonbalfolk.org.uk/","https://www.facebook.com/events/409599205009555/"],"start":"2024-04-24T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-04-24T23:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"London Balfolk","source":"events/uk/london_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Interactive Folkdance Workshop","links":["https://stanistil.be/event/18"],"start":"2024-04-24T20:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-04-24T23:30:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Leuven","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Stanistil","source":"events/belgium/leuven.yaml"}]}
