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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-339-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-05-22T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-22T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Harmony of Rhythms","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/595122413505671/595122423505670"],"start":"2025-05-22T20:30:00+03:00","end":"2025-05-22T23:00:00+03:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Rhythmic Connections","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Cleveland Thursday English Country Dance","details":"Come join us every Thursday afternoon for English Country Dancing. \nCombination of live and recorded music, in an air-conditioned hall.","links":["https://englishcountryorg.wordpress.com/","https://cdss.org/event/cleveland-thursday-english-country-dance/2025-05-22/"],"start":"2025-05-22T13:30:00-04:00","end":"2025-05-22T15:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"OH","city":"Cleveland Heights","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$2","organisation":"Cleveland English Dance Community","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary"],"start":"2025-05-22T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-22T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Grange Hall Contra Dance","details":"Sponsored by The Vineyard Preservation Trust \nCommunity & Public Shindig: In the tradition of New England’s earliest settlers, Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust invite you to a New England Contra Dance to celebrate the traditions of the Grange Hall as part of the fundraising campaign to restore/rejuvenate the historic Hall.

Dancers learn by walking through the steps and formations, following the caller’s instructions. The dance figures are similar to those of old-time square dancing except the figures are usually danced in a line, with leaders and followers facing each other. \n​These dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall).  Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. \nHow does Contra Dance Work?\n“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”\nby Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller","links":["https://www.tapestryfolkdance.org/contra","https://cdss.org/event/contra-dance-at-tapestry-folkdance-center/2025-05-24/"],"start":"2025-05-24T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2025-05-24T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Flour City Doughboys"],"callers":["Don Gatheridge"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","links":["https://paloaltocontradance.org/calendar/"],"start":"2025-05-24T18:30:00-07:00","end":"2025-05-24T22:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Palo Alto","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Magic Reelism"],"callers":["Celia Ramsay"],"price":"$20","organisation":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/palo_alto.yaml"},{"name":"Anaheim Contra Dance","details":"Anaheim Contra Dances are held every 4th Saturday January-November 6:30-9:30pm PST. \nAlways live music! \nFamily-friendly, no partner required. \nEasy introductory lesson for beginners @ 6:30pm.\n\nFree parking.","links":["https://www.thelivingtradition.org/tltbodydance.html","https://cdss.org/event/anaheim-contra-dance/2025-05-24/"],"start":"2025-05-24T18:30:00-07:00","end":"2025-05-24T21:30:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Anaheim","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$12-$18","organisation":"The Living Tradition","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Contra Dance","details":"Contra dance at the MARC (111 E. 100 N.) in Moab, UT Saturday, May 24th, with music by the Moab Community Dance Band and calling by Sam Smith from Boulder, CO. $10 suggested donation.

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

Dancers learn by walking through the steps and formations, following the caller’s instructions. The dance figures are similar to those of old-time square dancing except the figures are usually danced in a line, with leaders and followers facing each other. \n​These dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall).  Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. \nHow does Contra Dance Work?\n“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”\nby Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller","links":["https://www.tapestryfolkdance.org/contra","https://cdss.org/event/contra-dance-at-tapestry-folkdance-center/2025-05-31/"],"start":"2025-05-31T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2025-05-31T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Patchwork Players"],"callers":["Beau Farmer"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","links":["https://paloaltocontradance.org/calendar/"],"start":"2025-05-31T18:30:00-07:00","end":"2025-05-31T22:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Palo Alto","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Little Big Band"],"callers":["Jean Gorrindo"],"price":"$20","organisation":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/palo_alto.yaml"},{"name":"Tucson Contra Dance","details":"Join us for our fifth Saturday contra dance!

It is danced with simple walking or skipping steps in time to the music. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” with partners facing in lines down the hall. After a walk-through, the easy-to-learn figures are called throughout the dance as you interact with other couples in your set and then move on to the next and repeat.\n​\nYou can come by yourself and be assured of dancing throughout the evening, since our tradition is to welcome and teach beginners and change partners for each dance.

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur.

Bij balfolk geen shows of competitie, gewoon lekker dansen zoals ze dat vroeger op dorpsfeesten en bruiloften deden. Met familie en vrienden. Van jong tot oud. Iedereen danst mee. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig. Je kunt iedereen ten dans vragen. Én je kunt door iedereen ten dans worden gevraagd. Of je stapt zelf in bij een van de groepsdansen.\n\nIn Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.\n\nWe willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.\nhttps://www.balfolk.nl/informatie/dansrichtlijnen/","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/sloterbal-met-kelten-zonder-grenzen-en-wim-te-groen","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/sloterbal-2/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1358418748764757/"],"start":"2025-06-07T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-07T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Kelten zonder Grenzen","Wim te Groen"],"price":"€19.50-€25","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Folk In 't Kasteel","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.schoten.be/academie/agenda/folkbal-3","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2301"],"start":"2025-06-07T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-07T22:45:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Antwerp","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Folkorkest Academie Schoten","Griff Trio"],"organisation":"Academie Schoten","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Wimborne Folk Festival","details":"Part of the all-weekend Wimborne Folk Festival.

Dit zomerbal komen Duo E=m(T2) en Duo Clercx voor ons optreden. \n\nDuo Clercx\n\nDe eerste band van de avond is het vlaamse Duo Clercx. Dit is een balfolk groep opgericht door de broers Clercx. Met een arsenaal aan instrumenten brengen Hendrik (diatonische accordeon en viool) en Gert-Jan (viool, tin whistles, doedelzak en bratch) een unieke mix aan balfolk muziek. Sinds hun oprichting in de zomer van 2022 hebben ze snel naam gemaakt in de balfolk scene. Hun zelfgeschreven nummers zijn perfect voor een avond vol energie en plezier op de dansvloer. Naast muzikanten zijn ze zelf ook dansers dus weten ze wat dansers nodig hebben. Ze brengen folk met sensuele mazurka's, spicy tovercirkels, stevige bourrees. Met hun enthousiasme en rijke achtergrond aan diverse folk stijlen zetten ze je direct aan tot dansen!\n\nDuo E=m(T2)\n\nHet andere duo van de avond is Duo E=m(T2). Deze band bestaat uit Niek van Uden-Luteijn en Sander van der Schaaf. Niek is de laatste jaren onderdeel van Two Catch a Raindrop, maar daarvoor was hij een van de leden van de legendarische band Té, net als Sander. Zij tweeën hebben elkaar weer gevonden in dit toffe nieuwe duo. \n\nProgramma\n\nHet programma van de avond is als volgt: \n\n17.30: Deuren open\n18.00 - 19.00: : Dansuitleg\n19.00 - 20.30: Duo Clercx\n21.00 - 22.30: E=m(T2)\n23.00: Deuren sluiten\n\nEn ja: het is een bal op zondag, maar maandag is het Tweede Pinksterdag en dan kunnen de meeste mensen toch nog even uitslapen en bijkomen van dit feestje. \n\nDansuitleg\nTevoren zal er uiteraard weer een dansuitleg zijn voor degenen die nog niet eerder balfolk hebben gedanst of toch graag nog even een opfrisser willen. Deze zal een uurtje duren, waarbij de meest voorkomende balfolk dansen aan bod komen.\n\nToegang\nToegang tot het bal kost 25 euro per persoon. Dit kan alleen cash aan de deur worden betaald of met behulp van een QR-code. Er kan niet van tevoren worden betaald. \n\nLocatie\nQ-Bus is gevestigd in Leiden. Vlakbij kan geparkeerd worden in een parkeergarage.

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-341-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-06-12T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-12T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balhalla","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.balhalla.be/nl/evenement/bal-met-trio-baftig","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2490","https://www.facebook.com/events/1095601771769374/"],"start":"2025-06-12T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-12T23:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Trio Baftig"],"price":"€10-€16","organisation":"Balhalla","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/970823008244972/970823011578305/"],"start":"2025-06-12T20:30:00+03:00","end":"2025-06-12T23:30:00+03:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Rhythmic Connections","cancelled":true,"source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary"],"start":"2025-06-12T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-12T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Welwyn Garden FDC 75th Anniversary","links":["https://wgcfolkdanceclub.weebly.com/special-dances.html"],"start":"2025-06-12T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-12T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Welwyn Garden City","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Box of Frogs"],"callers":["Mark Elvins"],"price":"£5","organisation":"Welwyn Garden City Folk Dance Club","source":"events/uk/knebworth.yaml"},{"name":"Summer Soiree","links":["https://www.ashevillecontra.com/"],"start_date":"2025-06-13","end_date":"2025-06-15","country":"USA","state":"NC","city":"Asheville","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Mean Lids","Kingfisher"],"callers":["Steve Zakon-Anderson","Adina Gordon"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Flamingo Fling","details":"Flamingo Fling is Oklahoma City’s annual Contra Dance weekend!

Stuur een berichtje naar drakenbaldenbosch@gmail.com.\n\nBAL MET LE DRIADI 21:00-23:00\n\n‘Le Driadi’ is een Italiaanse band die eind 2023 werd opgericht en die, net als bosnimfen, ongekende volksmuziek verweeft met Italiaanse songwriting-invloeden. Balfolk in neo-trad-stijl vormt de kern van het project, met Franse dansen van romantische mazurka’s tot energieke Bretonse ketens. Samen creëren ze een klankbos waarin elke noot een betovering is, waardoor luisteraars worden uitgenodigd om zich te verliezen in een wereld waar muziek, dans en magie met elkaar verweven zijn.\n\nWebsite: https://ledriadi.bandcamp.com/album/dentro-lo-specchio\n\nJAMSESSIE 23:00- uiterlijk 1:00\n\nNa het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van 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 gratis welkom voor de sessie!\n\nVERSNAPERINGEN\n\nIn de bar kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje!

Het is een potluck zoals je gewend bent, maar enkel met zoetigheden  Voor de hartige maaltijd kan je nog steeds terecht aan de bar van de Mezrab. Ze hebben een heerlijke Iraanse linzensoep. Ook drankjes bestel je aan de bar. Water is gratis verkrijgbaar. Als service aan de dansers zet het personeel kannen water klaar.\nBands\n\n \tLe Driadi Trio\n\n\n\nLe Driadi is een Italiaanse band die eind 2023 werd opgericht en die, net als bosnimfen, ongekende volksmuziek verweeft met Italiaanse songwriting-invloeden. Balfolk in neo-trad-stijl vormt de kern van het project, met Franse dansen van romantische mazurka’s tot energieke Bretonse ketens. Samen creëren ze een klankbos waarin elke noot een betovering is, waardoor luisteraars worden uitgenodigd om zich te verliezen in een wereld waar muziek, dans en magie met elkaar verweven zijn.\n\n\n\n \tDuo Baftig\n\nWat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van 2022 is nu officieel tot een balfolk muzikanten duo uitgegroeid.\n\nDuo Baftig speelt zeer dansbare tunes op akkoestische gitaar en viool. Manon en Robin delen een passie voor balfolk dans en folk muziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo speelt verassende mix tussen Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!\n\nLocatie\nMezrab draagt Balfolk een warm hart toe en nodigt ons iedere maand uit te komen dansen. Je kunt in de Mezrab op andere dagen vooral terecht voor storytelling. Het café dient als inspiratiebron voor vele theaters, centra, musea en festivals om ook storytelling te programmeren. Mezrab programmeert meerdere keren per week regelmatig vertelavonden. Op de andere avonden wordt storytelling gecombineerd met andere kunstdisciplines (dans, beeldende kunst, poëzie, etc.) en een wereldmuziekprogramma.\n\nEr is plek voor zo'n 100 dansers.\n\nAdres:\nMezrab\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nFotocredit\nBalfolk Amsterdam","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-social-met-le-driadi-trio-en-duo-baftig/","https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-social-met-le-driadi-trio-en-duo-baftig"],"start":"2025-06-15T16:15:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-15T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Baftig","Le Driadi"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"Balfolk Amsterdam","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Folk & Dance at Lietzensee","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/2506-lietzensee"],"start":"2025-06-15T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-15T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Jormsons Kapell"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Spreefolk e.V.","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Pavilion Bal Folk","links":["https://www.rachelbellmusic.com/calendar"],"start":"2025-06-15T17:00:00-05:00","end":"2025-06-15T20:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Guildford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Eloise & Co."],"price":"$12-$25","organisation":"Brattleboro Bal Folk","source":"events/usa/guilford.yaml"},{"name":"BACDS Hey Days","details":"Hey Days is the annual BACDS English Country Dance and Music Week. \nWe offer classes in English country dance, ritual/display dance, song, and a music track.

Wat kun je doen om je beweging mooi vloeiend te maken?

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen.

Dit keer worden we muzikaal vergezeld door Duo Thézéa.\n\nKoop direct je ticket >>\nOver de artiest\nDuo Thézéa is een levendig Frans folkduo met Théo op accordeon en Lizéa op fluit en zang. In hun geëngageerde en originele composities spelen thema’s zoals consent, genderidentiteit en rouw een belangrijke rol. Hun inclusieve en betekenisvolle muziek nodigt daarmee uit tot reflectie, maar ook tot gezamenlijke viering. Met de unieke energie van twee muzikanten uit genderminderheden brengen ze een frisse kijk op de traditionele balfolkscene, waarbij ze invloeden uit de Franse traditionele balfolk en moderne muziek – zoals techno – combineren met een vleugje vocale improvisatie. Ze bieden ook fusiondansworkshops aan voor balfolk, waarbij ze expressie, creativiteit uit verschillende koppeldansen en rolfluïditeit verkennen.\n\nAlvast een voorproefje?

Daar wil ik wel op dansen!\" en je probeert een scottish en dan blijkt het nummer niet in 8 tellen maar in 10 tellen te zijn?\nWe gaan proberen, door 1 of 2 zeer bekende dansen te ontleden in blokjes, een verzameling van danselementen te maken die we dan kunnen samenstellen in een geheel nieuwe dans die past bij de muziek, zowel qua telling maar ook qua sfeer.\nHenri danst (fanatiek) balfolk sinds 2012 en heeft in 2016 en 2017 al een aantal avonden voor beginners en begonners begeleid bij Balfolk Zuid-Holland. Deze keer heeft hij de stoute dansschoenen aangetrokken en gaat proberen een meer gevorderd concept te behandelen. Hij zal worden geassisteerd door Eline Boon.\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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-343-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-06-26T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-26T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"The

calling from Louise Siddons.\n\nTwo of the most exciting players on the Contra dance scene. With creative, colourful accordion player Ali Messer (Blue Mountain, Alterations, Fat Harry, Fiddle Chicks) and high energy fiddling from Linda Game (ECDB, Token Women) expect an evening of fabulous dance music. Box the gnat and swat the flea, but can you spot the frog?\n\nLouise Siddons was born in the UK but moved to the United States as a child, where she grew up  surrounded by folk music and song. Now back in the UK permanently, she is known on both sides of  the Atlantic as a contra, English country dance, and ceilidh caller. Louise believes that we  should invest in the evolution and sustainability of folk traditions and their ongoing relevance  to contemporary culture. As a caller and dance teacher, she strives to create a fun and welcoming  atmosphere with her low-key and light-hearted stage presence. She received the 2016 Mary  Judson/Brad Foster Award for English Dance Teachers from the Country Dance and Song Society  (CDSS), and has been a committee member for the Friends of English Dance (UK) since 2018. In 2021,  she received a diversity grant from the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) in support of  her gender-free teaching and calling. In 2022, CDSS published her booklet on gender-free,  positional calling, “Dancing the Whole Dance: Positional Calling for Contra.” This winter, she is  starting Winchester's first-ever queer ceilidh series, WinQeilidh.","links":["https://contrabridge.org/events/2025-06/"],"start":"2025-06-28T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-28T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Box of Frogs"],"callers":["Louise Siddons"],"price":"£7-£15","organisation":"Contrabridge","source":"events/uk/contrabridge.yaml"},{"name":"Exeter Ceilidh","links":["https://exeterceilidhs.net/"],"start":"2025-06-28T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2025-06-28T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Exeter","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Crowdy-Kit"],"price":"£4-£15","organisation":"Exeter Ceilidhs","source":"events/uk/exeter_ceilidhs.yaml"},{"name":"Celtival","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","http://www.archeosite.be/celtival-daubechies/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2791"],"start_date":"2025-06-29","end_date":"2025-06-29","country":"Belgium","city":"Aubechies","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Macke-Bornauw"],"price":"€15-€18","organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"AmWeek","links":["https://amweek.camp/"],"start_date":"2025-06-29","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Ben Lomond","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Lissa & Friends","The Syncopaths"],"callers":["Cis Hinkle","Jacqui Grennan"],"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Cumberland Dance Week","links":["https://camp.cumberlanddanceweek.org/"],"start_date":"2025-06-29","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"TN","city":"Pleasantville","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Cosmic Otters"],"callers":["Wendy Graham","Seth Tepfer"],"price":"$675-$1075","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"MiniBal at Toitū","links":["https://www.balfolk.co.nz/dunedin"],"start":"2025-06-29T14:00:00+12:00","end":"2025-06-29T15:30:00+12:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Pinewoods English-Scottish-Contra","links":["https://rscdsboston.org/pinewoods-esc.html"],"start_date":"2025-06-30","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd","scd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Frost and Fire"],"callers":["Anna Rain","Ben Sachs-Hamilton","Kat Dutton"],"price":"$345-$467","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Monday Dancing: Beginners","details":"20:00 Workshop für Anfänger\n21:00 Tanz für Alle","links":["https://7schritt.de/kalender/montagstanz-anfaenger-2/"],"start":"2025-06-30T08:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-30T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Freiburg i.

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-344-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-07-03T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-03T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Gooikoorts","details":"Ball","links":["http://www.gooikoorts.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2572","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2719","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2720"],"start_date":"2025-07-04","end_date":"2025-07-06","country":"Belgium","city":"Gooik","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Embrun","Warmoes","Sons Of Sirius"],"organisation":"Gooikoorts Folkfestival","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Contra Dance + Potluck + 4th of July celebration","links":["https://contradance.at/"],"start":"2025-07-04T17:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-04T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Graz","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Woodcut"],"callers":["Brian Roberts"],"organisation":"Contra Dance in Graz","source":"events/austria/graz-contra.yaml"},{"name":"Stegastomp","links":["https://www.stegastomp.co.uk/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1697234160875967/"],"start":"2025-07-04T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-06T16:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Harbury","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Contrasaurus"],"callers":["Charlotte Rich-Griffin","Louise Siddons"],"price":"£50-£65","organisation":"Contrasaurus","source":"events/uk/harbury.yaml"},{"name":"On Bouge Pop-Up","links":["https://www.facebook.com/chris.shaw.969952/posts/pfbid02QXZ2QZ29dhGKgW8EjJeip7pbBuSHHq5be1t38CYuaX6gj8iAr8vJ5LrWSTcGNFR2l"],"start":"2025-07-04T19:15:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-04T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Deux Sans Frontières","Duo Mistral"],"price":"£12","organisation":"On Bouge","source":"events/uk/on_bouge.yaml"},{"name":"Cambridge Contra Dance","links":["https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/","https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/programme.html"],"start":"2025-07-04T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-04T22:15:00+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":"Dancing Fish","links":["https://dancingfish.dance/event/july-4th-weekend-kingfisher/"],"start":"2025-07-04T18:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-07-06T15:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"FL","city":"Melrose","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Kingfisher","Crossover"],"callers":["Luke Donforth","Bob Isaacs"],"price":"$15-$30","organisation":"Dancing Fish","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Skandia First Friday LIVE","details":"<html-blob><u></u><span><strong>Skandia members, $10;

Dit is een grabbelles: kies jij maar!\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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-345-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-07-10T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-10T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Teyrrasfolk","details":"Ball","links":["https://tey.be/programma/2025/07/10/shillelagh","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2801"],"start":"2025-07-10T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-10T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Sint-Niklaas","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Shillelagh"],"price":"free","organisation":"Muziekclub 't Ey","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Ceilidh Club","links":["https://ceilidhclub.com/event/london-ceilidh-club-11-7-25-grand-junction-paddington/"],"start":"2025-07-11T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-11T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["s-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£19-£25","organisation":"London Ceilidh Club","source":"events/uk/ceilidh_club.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk at Zaanfolk Festival","details":"Chillen in het park, fijne muziek, drankje erbij en dansen.

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

Bij balfolk geen shows of competitie, gewoon lekker dansen zoals ze dat vroeger op dorpsfeesten en bruiloften deden. Met familie en vrienden. Van jong tot oud. Iedereen danst mee. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig. Je kunt iedereen ten dans vragen. Én je kunt door iedereen ten dans worden gevraagd. Of je stapt zelf in bij een van de groepsdansen.\n\nIn Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.\n\nWe willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.\nhttps://www.balfolk.nl/informatie/dansrichtlijnen/","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/festibal-een-balfolk-happening-3/"],"start":"2025-10-05T13:15:00+02:00","end":"2025-10-05T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"TasContra","links":["https://folktas.org/dancing/hobartdances/","https://folktas.org/dancing/monday-night-folk-dances-tascontra/","https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/432472"],"start":"2025-10-06T19:15:00+11:00","end":"2025-10-06T21:30:00+11:00","country":"Australia","state":"TAS","city":"New Town","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Ross Smithard & Up Jumped Trouble"],"price":"$7-$15","organisation":"Folk Federation of Tasmania Inc","source":"events/australia/new_town.yaml"},{"name":"Autumn Contra Dance Week","links":["https://halswaymanor.org.uk/event/autumn-contra-dance-week-2025/"],"start":"2025-10-06T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-10-10T10:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Halsway","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Box of Frogs"],"callers":["Cis Hinkle"],"price":"£255-£460","organisation":"Halsway Manor","source":"events/uk/halsway.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Bij balfolk geen shows of competitie, gewoon lekker dansen zoals ze dat vroeger op dorpsfeesten en bruiloften deden. Met familie en vrienden. Van jong tot oud. Iedereen danst mee. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig. Je kunt iedereen ten dans vragen. Én je kunt door iedereen ten dans worden gevraagd. Of je stapt zelf in bij een van de groepsdansen.\n\nIn Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.\n\nWe willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.\nhttps://www.balfolk.nl/informatie/dansrichtlijnen/","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/festibal-een-balfolk-happening-4/"],"start":"2025-12-31T13:15:00+01:00","end":"2025-12-31T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Boombal","details":"Ball","links":["https://boombal.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2735"],"start":"2025-12-31T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2026-01-01T03:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Gent","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"organisation":"Boombal","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"New Year's Eve Contra Dance","links":["https://paloaltocontradance.org/calendar/"],"start":"2025-12-31T19:30:00-08:00","end":"2026-01-01T00:15:00-08:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Palo Alto","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Corwin Zekley & Grace Fellows"],"callers":["Susan Petrick"],"price":"$25","organisation":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/palo_alto.yaml"},{"name":"Skandia First Friday LIVE","details":"<html-blob><u></u><span><strong>Skandia members, $10; nonmembers, $15; kids, free  The price of admission includes a free dance class.</strong></span><br><br>Teaching: 7:30-8:30 p.m. No partner is required. </html-blob><br><html-blob><br><u></u></html-blob>","links":["https://skandia-folkdance.org/"],"start":"2026-01-02T19:30:00-08:00","end":"2026-01-02T22:30:00-08:00","country":"USA","state":"WA","city":"Lynnwood","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$10-$15","organisation":"Skandia Folkdance Society","source":"events/usa/skandia.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.
