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-340-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-06-05T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-05T22:00:00+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 Bretonic workout","details":"Lernabend im Quäker-Nachbarschaftsheim","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/tanzlernabend-12"],"start":"2025-06-05T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-05T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk-Abendkurs Sommersemester","details":"Wann? — März bis Juni, donnerstags, 19:00 bis 20:30\r\nWo? — 8., Lange Gasse 8/2\r\n\r\nTeilnahmebeitrag: 120€ / reduziert: 80€\r\nSchnuppertag und Anmeldeschluss: 6.3.\r\nAnmeldungen bitte per E-Mail an roman@folktanz.at.\r\n\r\nFoto: Ivan Pomé (https://ivanpome.com/) am Prague Balfolk Weekend 2025","links":["https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-abendkurs"],"start":"2025-06-05T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-05T20:30:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Roman Zimmermann","source":"events/austria/plug_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk op het Purmerplein","details":"Buiten (bal)folk 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://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.

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/2025-06-07/"],"start":"2025-06-07T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2025-06-07T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Contratopia"],"callers":["Robin Nelson"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Tucson Contra Dance","details":"Join us for our first and third Saturday contra dance!

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.

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!

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/2025-06-14/"],"start":"2025-06-14T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2025-06-14T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Speed Dial"],"callers":["Amy Letson"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","links":["https://paloaltocontradance.org/calendar/"],"start":"2025-06-14T18:30:00-07:00","end":"2025-06-14T22:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Palo Alto","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$20","organisation":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/palo_alto.yaml"},{"name":"San Luis Obispo Monthly Contra Dance","details":"Live music and gender-neutral calling at the monthly contra dance in San Luis Obispo, CA.

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":"Sacramento English Country Dance","details":"English Country Dance at the Young Ladies’ Institute, 1400 27th St., Sacramento!

En de pasjes ken je inmiddels wel van buiten … Toch is het niet altijd makkelijk om een jig door te komen zonder bijna een elleboog in je gezicht te krijgen. Wat kun je doen om je beweging mooi vloeiend te maken? En waarom danst het eigenlijk met de één wel makkelijk en met de ander niet?\nIn deze les delen we kleine tips om fijner samen te dansen en oefenen we samen om te merken wat het verschil is. Minder botsingen, minder vermoeidheid - meer plezier!\nEline danst met veel plezier balfolk sinds 2012 en geeft nu voor het eerst dansinstructie.

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/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1200479931872636/"],"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":"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","cancelled":true,"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":"Sunday Afternoon Masterclass","links":["http://www.contrafusion.co.uk/Saturday.html#P"],"start":"2025-06-29T14:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-29T16:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Maidstone","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"callers":["John Sweeney"],"price":"£7","organisation":"Contrafusion","source":"events/uk/contrafusion.yaml"},{"name":"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.

Song. Dance. Laughter. \nJoin us among the pines for a week full of magic and joy, music and dance, for young, old, and everyone in between. Family Week at Pinewoods is a rejuvenating and inspiring way to spend time with your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, or other children dear to you. Together, we participate in the rich traditional music, dance, and song program offered by our skilled staff. \nMorning classes are enjoyed by age groupings, with younger participants delighting in traditional song, dance, stories, and crafts, facilitated by expert children’s educators. Meanwhile, teens and adults choose from an array of energizing community dance classes. Teens are welcome to join in adult activities throughout the day but also have a daily class of their own that will weave together music and dance with dynamic instructors. \nEach day there are two all-community gatherings (morning and evening) where staff and campers alike share stories, songs, and talents. There is also time in the afternoon for campers to offer one-off classes, so bring your talents to share! \nNestled between two pristine New England ponds offering daily idyllic swimming and canoeing, both natural beauty and community spirit are ever-present. Together, we celebrate the charm of living in woodland cabins, eating delicious home-cooked meals, and participating in the rich traditional music, dance, and song program offered by our skilled staff.","links":["https://camp.cdss.org/camp-weeks/family-week-at-pinewoods/","https://cdss.org/event/family-week-at-pinewoods-camp/"],"start":"2025-07-12T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-07-19T10:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$75-$1500","organisation":"Country Dance & Song Society","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"DanseHerts","links":["http://www.danseherts.co.uk/Events.html","http://www.danseherts.co.uk/DH_A4_Poster_JAN25-DEC25.pdf"],"start":"2025-07-13T12:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-13T17:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Ickleford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"£8","organisation":"DanseHerts","source":"events/uk/danseherts.yaml"},{"name":"Kurs: Balfolk","details":"VHS Metzingen","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/923211522"],"start":"2025-07-13T14:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-13T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Metzingen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Anja von Richthofen","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Miniscule","links":["https://balfolkoxford.mmm.page/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1718619838973025/"],"start":"2025-07-13T14:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-07-13T19:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Oxford","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Oxford","source":"events/uk/oxford.yaml"},{"name":"Bunter Balfolk","links":["https://www.lutherkirche-suedstadt.de/veranstaltungen/bal-folk-mitmachtanz-29/","https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/balfolk-lutherkirche-15"],"start":"2025-07-13T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-13T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12-€17","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Bunter Balfolk","links":["http://balfolk-bonn.de/balfolk/Tanzaktivitaten.html"],"start":"2025-07-13T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-13T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Bonn","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Local Heroes"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"Balfolk Bonn e.V.","source":"events/germany/bonn.yaml"},{"name":"Ashokan Northern Week","links":["https://ashokancenter.org/product/northern-week-2025/"],"start":"2025-07-13T13:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-07-19T14:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"NY","city":"Olivebridge","styles":["contra","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Lighthouse"],"callers":["Will Mentor","Susan Kevra","John Krumm"],"price":"$585-$1035","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Monstagstanzen im Stadtgarten","details":"Bis einschließlich 18.

Within each jam-packed day, there is also time built into the schedule for jamming, snoozing, swimming, chatting, or taking some solo time if you need it.

Be sure to leave space for extra-curricular activities including chocolate tasting, ceilidh dancing, afternoon parties, and late-night shenanigans.","links":["https://camp.cdss.org/camp-weeks/english-dance-week/","https://cdss.org/event/english-dance-week-at-pinewoods-camp/"],"start":"2025-08-02T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-08-09T10:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"callers":["Anna Rain","Joanna Reiner Wilkinson","Margaret Bary"],"price":"$850-$1500","organisation":"Country Dance & Song Society","source":"events/usa/cdss.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":"2025-08-04T19:15:00+10:00","end":"2025-08-04T21:30:00+10:00","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":"Gugelhupf: Sommertanzen","links":["https://www.gugelhupf-dresden.de/tanz-am-dienstag/"],"start":"2025-08-05T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-08-05T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Dresden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Folktanz Dresden e.V.","source":"events/germany/dresden.yaml"},{"name":"Dansavond","details":"Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen.

Twice a day, the whole camp comes together for a community dance and a gathering for games, stories, participatory songs, and staff and camper performances.

Campers’ Week is a week like no other—not just for campers, but by campers, who join a small-but-mighty staff in offering classes, leading dances, playing in the band, performing at gatherings, teaching crafts, decorating for the ball, hosting parties, and sharing whatever talent they’d like. If you love helping to make the magic happen, and you’re between the ages of 0 and 187, this is the session for you! Bring your parents, your best friend, your neighbor, your siblings, your kids, your cousins, your spouse, your fiancé, your grandkids, or just yourself (if you’re over 18) for a week of multi-generational, camper-enhanced family fun. \nWhat do we love? At morning and evening gatherings, people of all ages share a tune, tell a story, showcase a skill, sing, laugh, and dance together. During the day, kids under 13 gather twice with their peers—who may well become lifelong friends—to learn new dances, sing, craft, or what have you. Teens have their own class session (don’t worry, it’s not first thing in the morning) and all campers age 13+ can join in daily staff-led contra and English dance classes. There’s also ritual dance instruction, a community band, callers’ workshop, plus whatever delights campers offer. When it’s time to give those dancing feet a rest, you can swim, sun, or canoe in a pond, or find a chair on one of the many porches to craft, sing, jam, or just relax and chat with friends new and old.  \nFestivities continue after dinner with a musical procession through the woods to the all-ages dance, which kicks off evening gathering. After the youngest campers head to bed, talented staff lead a vibrant mix of English, contras, squares, and a few surprises, with the help of the camper band—a delightful mélange of professional musicians, talented dabblers, and enthusiastic neophytes—and guest callers. (Want to call a dance? Let us know.) \nAfterwards, the party moves to the Camp House, where a pub sing, auction, skit night, jams, or impromptu low-key gatherings continue into the night… including whatever merriment intrepid campers incite. (Will Kerry sets return this year? Late night English favorites? Nonstop Rory O’More?  If you want it, make it happen!) \nWhether you grew up here and never left, or are joining for the very first time, Campers’ Week welcomes all ages, all skill levels, all talents, all everything. So pack your instrument (even your ukulele!), your voice, your dance shoes, your ball costume, your crafting supplies, your joy, and your sense of adventure.

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.

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-op-zondag-november-2025/"],"start":"2025-11-16T16:15:00+01:00","end":"2025-11-16T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bal De La Cabane Du Bout Du Monde","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2620"],"start":"2025-11-16T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-11-16T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Watermaal-Bosvoorde","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Plume Duo"],"price":"€7-€12","organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.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":"2025-11-17T19:15:00+11:00","end":"2025-11-17T21:30:00+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":"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":"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.
