Wenn Javallon zum Tanz aufspielt, kann sich kaum jemand der ansteckenden Spielfreude der drei Musiker entziehen. Sie nehmen das Publikum mit auf eine musikalische Reise durch Frankreich:
Auf eine temperamentvolle Bourrée aus der Auvergne folgt ein gemütlicher Schottisch aus dem Berry, ein Rondeau aus der Gascogne erzählt die Geschichte einer heimlichen Liebschaft, ein sehnsuchtsvoller Pariser Walzer lädt zum Träumen ein, bevor ein baskischer Fandango den Tänzern in die Beine fährt.

Wouter Kuyper
Wouters Musik geht ins Tanzbein wie bei kaum jemand anderem. Aufgewachsen in der Balfolk-Szene hat er die Tanzmusik als Tänzer kennengelernt, und das spürt man bei seinen Auftritten unmittelbar. Sein Rhythmusgefühl führt die Tänzer:innen nahezu blind.
Wouter Kuyper spielt bei Tanzveranstaltungen gewöhnlich ohne eine feste Setlist und lässt sich vom Geschehen im Raum inspirieren. Geleitet von der Reaktion seines Publikums erzeugt er so eine wunderbare Atmosphäre. Ein Mann und sein Akkordeon, in intensiver Verbindung mit den Tänzer:innen vor ihm…
Im Alter von zehn Jahren nahmen ihn seine Eltern erstmals zu einem Folkfestival mit – nun tourt er durch die Tanzsäle Europas, entweder Solo oder mit seinen Bands ‚Wouter en de Draak‘, ‚Geselscap Goet ende Fyn‘ (Alte Musik) und ebenso mit BmB, Androneda und anderen.
Heute ist Wouter Kuyper bei uns als Solo-Musiker zu Gast. Wir erwarten viele seiner eigenen Kompositionen, die auf traditionellen Balfolk-Rhythmen basieren, ob swingendem Scottish, intimer Mazurka, verträumtem Walzer (gerne auch ungerade), rockiger Bourrée, Polka, Polska, Hanter-Dro und vielen anderen.

The Washington Spring Ball is a joyful yearly event of English Country Dancing to glorious music. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. We have a practice session the day of the ball, where most of the dances will be taught. Attending the practice session is strongly encouraged but not required. In the evening at the ball, all dances will be briefed (talked-through) and then prompted for the first few rounds. Dancers wear what makes them feel happy and festive; some choose attire from the 18th or 19th century. 
The Ball will be played by Reelplay (Robbin Marcus on piano, Dave Marcus on concertina), and special guest Paul Oorts on guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion. 
Music at the afternoon practice session will be provided by Elke Baker and Liz Donaldson. The session will run from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Civic Center on the day of the ball and is included in the ball admission fee. 
The Ball is supported by a generous grant from Montgomery County’s Community Access Program.

In april is het weer tijd voor balfolk in de Junushoff! Kom de lente vieren met twee geweldige bands!
Ze stonden al lang op ons verlanglijstje, en komen in april eindelijk naar Nederland: Caamaño&Ameixeiras! Sabela Caamaño (chromatische accordeon) en Antía Ameixeiras (viool en zang) vormen dit geweldige duo uit Galicië dat rootsmuziek en dans verweeft. Sinds hun oprichting in 2018 heeft dit duo een intens traject doorlopen, zowel nationaal en internationaal. Met traditie als uitgangspunt slagen zij erin om hun eigen unieke taal te creëren, met persoonlijke en levendige composities en arrangementen waarin de essentie van traditionele muziek centraal staat, gemengd met een goede dosis moderne invloeden en emotie.

Ook Laouen was al een tijd een wens, en we zijn erg blij dat ze voor ons komen spelen! De 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.
Ben 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.
Tijdens 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. Een waterflesje om de dorst te lessen tijdens het bal is ook aangeraden. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!
Voorlopige planning:

How do I love ECD? Let me count the ways….
There is something for everyone!
Some 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! 
No dance partner necessary!
Don’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. 
No experience necessary!
Never 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. 
No fancy uniforms!
You 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. 
See 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)."""

Hayward is centrally located and the venue, The Hill and Valley Club, 1808 ‘B’ Street, Hayward, CA, is easy to reach by BART or car. 
As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances. 
Our venue, the Hill and Valley Club, is one of the airiest dance halls in the bay area.

We also want to explore the particular traditional spirits which some of those dances have, creating an atmosphere of community and deep connection within the whole group and to the music.\r

Dances we want to cover include different Avant-deux's, Congo, Maraîchine, Bourrée variants with multiple people, Suite de Loudéac and many more group dances. We won't cover couple dances in this course."""

details = """
Op vrijdagavond 3 mei kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen wordt later nog bekend gemaakt. 

Gratis
Het 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. 

Dansuitleg voor beginners
Nog niet eerder (balfolk) gedanst? Geen zorgen, er wordt gestart met een dansuitleg van Balfolk Zuid-Holland, zodat degenen die nog niet eerder hebben gedanst, kunnen kennismaken met balfolk en daarna ook de hele avond mee kunnen doen. 

Programma
20:30: Start dansuitleg
21:30: Bal!
23:30: Deuren sluiten

Bereikbaarheid
De 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. 

Eten
Voorafgaand 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.

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:

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."""

We also want to explore the particular traditional spirits which some of those dances have, creating an atmosphere of community and deep connection within the whole group and to the music.\r

13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (halfgevorderden)

Die basis van de scottish en mazurka zit er ondertussen goed in. Maar nu? Hoe maken we het nog leuker, nog muzikaler en nog meer in verbinding met je danspartner? Door met het ritme van je voeten te varieren. En dan het liefst op zo'n manier dat je partner het ook snapt!

In deze workshop gaan we eerst aan de slag met de danshouding, termen als ballon of eierverfhouder zullen langskomen, om vervolgens ook te gaan kijken naar de verschillende ritmes die er mogelijk zijn. Tijd om te spelen!

Voorkennis: Ik ga er van uit dat je de basis van de scottish en mazurka redelijk beheerst.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4 of meer!) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer - door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
24 juni: Congo door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

Balfolk A1: Balfolk basics\r

Language: English\r

In this course we'll be teaching a variety of Balfolk dances from scratch – no dance experience required! During the course, you'll learn couple dances such as Scottish, Waltz, Mazurka, Polka, and two-time Bourrée, as well as group dances such as Chapelloise and Hanter dro. You'll also learn about posture, leading and following, and listening to the music.\r

Balfolk A2/F: Various group dances\r
\r
Language: German / English (depending on preferences of participants)\r
\r
In this partially advanced course, we want to dive into balfolk group dances from different (mostly French) regions like Bretagne, Poitou, Auvergne and a few others. We want to show you the huge variety of those dances, the very different characters and styles, and how much fun these dances can be.

Dances we want to cover include different Avant-deux's, Congo, Maraîchine, Bourrée variants with multiple people, Suite de Loudéac and many more group dances. We won't cover couple dances in this course."""

name = "Socialles 301 — Bourree auvergnate"
details = """
Deze donderdag 16 mei is het socialles nr 301. Docent deze week is Leon. Het thema van deze les is de bourreee auvergnate, een dans ook wel bekend als 'bourree in 3' of 'die bourree met die halve maantjes', maar Leon kan daar veel meer over vertellen. Ervaring met deze dans is niet nodig.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

Bands

 \tAirboxes

Airboxes staat voor aanstekelijke dansmuziek gebracht door het duo Bert Leemans en Guus Herremans op chromatisch en diatonisch accordeon.
Bert (chromatisch) en Guus (diatonisch) zijn perfect op elkaar ingespeeld, de klanken van hun instrumenten smelten samen bij alles wat ze spelen en nemen je mee naar een magische wereld.
Airboxes speelt enkel eigen werk.
Hun afwisselend intieme solo’s en klankkleurrijk samenspel zorgen voor een allesomvattend geheel.
Airboxes zijn twee mannen, twee accordeons, één verhaal.


 \tPFM!

PFM! 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.
Frans 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.
Maurits 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.
Pieter 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.
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 wordt geconcentreerd op de meest gangbare balfolkdansen zodat alle balfolkies het hele optreden op de dansvloer kunnen blijven.
Alle drie de bandleden zijn enthousiaste dansers, maar staan ook graag op het podium, daarom zeggen zij: boek ons!
Locatie
Mezrab 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.

Er is plek voor zo'n 100 dansers.

In mei legt iedere vogel een ei – en wij kunnen ons balfolk-ei weer kwijt bij een prachtig bal in de Junushoff! 😉 Twee geweldige groepen zullen ons heerlijk de zomer in laten dansen.
We sluiten het seizoen af met een blast: Ciac Boum! Dit trio, bestaande uit Christian Pacher, Julien Padovani en Alban Pacher, heeft een stevige reputatie onder dansers in Frankrijk en Europa, met zijn unieke muziek die vrolijkheid, energie en feestelijkheid uitstraalt. De muziek van Ciac Boum is energiek en inventief en put uit het traditionele erfgoed van de regio Poitou, waarvan het een erkend ambassadeur is geworden, met zowel covers van traditionele melodieën als originele composities. Elke muzikant is een multi-instrumentalist, dus het podium wordt omgetoverd tot een waar laboratorium waar een enorme verscheidenheid aan geluidspaletten tot uiting wordt gebracht.




Airboxes staat voor aanstekelijke dansmuziek gebracht door het duo Bert Leemans en Guus Herremans op chromatisch en diatonisch accordeon. Bert (chromatisch) en Guus (diatonisch) zijn perfect op elkaar ingespeeld, de klanken van hun instrumenten smelten samen bij alles wat ze spelen en nemen je mee naar een magische wereld. Hun afwisselend intieme solo’s en klankkleurrijk samenspel zorgen voor een allesomvattend geheel. Airboxes zijn twee mannen, twee accordeons, één verhaal.





Ben 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.
Tijdens 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. Een waterflesje om de dorst te lessen tijdens het bal is ook aangeraden. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)

In Bretagne dansen ze eigenlijk alleen maar in rijen en cirkels, en op onze bals worden deze dansen regelmatig gespeeld. De meest bekende hiervan zijn de andro en de hanterdro. 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.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka
20 mei: Bretonse dansen
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde & figuren met 4 of meer!)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring, uitwisseling tussen volgen en leiden
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer
24 juni: Congo

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 23 mei is het socialles nr 302. Docent deze week is Isobel. Het thema deze week draait om connectie met je danspartner en leiden en volgen, gerelateerd aan switch dansen: wisselen van rol als leider of volger, gedurende de dans of voorafgaand aan de dans. Let op: deze les is in het Engels, maar geen zorgen, er zijn genoeg mensen om voor je te vertalen. Enige ervaring met leiden en volgen is wel fijn voor deze les.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

Over de Dansuitleg
In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.

Wat is Balfolk?
Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.

Over Erik en Martijn
Erik de Jong is een veelzijdig folk muzikant die vooral actief is in de Ierse/Schotse scene, maar ook binnen andere folkstijlen zoals balfolk en Balkan-muziek. Instrumenten die hij daarbij bespeelt zijn accordeon (als hoofdinstrument), whistles, bodhrán en draailier.
Voor dansers spelen heeft Erik altijd het leukste gevonden om te doen. Daar is hij mee begonnen in de Nederlandse balfolkband ‘De Gonnagles’. Later is hij samen met Carieke Pol veel ceilidh-workshops gaan doen (Schotse dansworkshops) op bruiloften, feesten en festivals, zoals de Celtic & Balfolk Night in De Doelen in Rotterdam, en de Elf Fantasy Fairs in Arcen en Haarzuilens. Naast Ierse/Schotse muziek speelt Erik ook nog steeds graag balfolk, bijvoorbeeld met de duo’s Itchy Fingers (met Tijn Berends) en Exqueezit (met Bert Leemans), waarmee hij o.a. op balfolkfestival Cadansa heeft gespeeld. Voor meer informatie over Eriks muzikale activiteiten, zie www.folkmuzikant.nl.
Martijn speelt klarinet en is bekend van de balfolkband Sidaro.

De 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."""

27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)

De bourree, een toffe dans die meestal met z'n tweeën tegenover elkaar wordt gedanst. Maar soms ook in een cirkel (en ronde) en soms met z'n 4-en in leuke choreografieën. In deze workshop gaan we eerst nog even focussen op de basispas, zodat iedereen in dezelfde groove komt, om die vervolgens toe te passen in een bourree en ronde en een aantal leuke variatie met 4 dansers.

Voor deze workshop is geen voorkennis vereist, maar is niet bedoelt voor echte beginners, daarvoor gaat het tempo in de workshop iets te snel.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4 of meer!) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer - door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
24 juni: Congo door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

Deze donderdag 30 mei is het socialles nr 303. Het thema en de docent van deze les wordt later nog bekend gemaakt.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

Op 1 juni kunnen de voetjes van de vloer in Leiden, in de Q-Bus, onze vaste stek voor fijne balfolkavonden. Voor ons komen optreden Nachtmuziek en Exqueezit!

Nachtmuziek
Nachtmuziek is een swingende combinatie met Tim de Man op piano en Frank van Vliet op trompet (ook bekend van de Gonnagles). Ze geven een eigen draai aan balfolk, met jazzy uptempo en lyrisch verhalend eigen werk.

Exqueezit
Exqueezit is het duo Bert Leemans (chromatische knop-accordeon) en Erik de Jong (piano-accordeon). Bert (bekend van o.a. EmBRUN, Elanor en Airboxes) en Erik (bekend van o.a. The Assasenachs, Itchy Fingers en de Gonnagles) leerden elkaar in 2006 kennen op de muziekstage Vliers op Texel, waar Bert aan Erik de fijne kneepjes van het Balfolk spelen liet zien. Toen in 2018 Bert vaker in Noord Nederland te vinden was, kwam hij Erik weer tegen in Irish Pub O'Ceallaigh in Groningen. Al gauw was duidelijk dat de mannen genoten van samenspelen. Hier ontstond dan ook het idee voor een optreden als duo op het 15-jarig jubileum van Balfolk in Café Wilhelmina in Eindhoven. Een half jaar later herhaalde dat zich nog een keer op Elfia Haarzuilens 2019 en zo is Exqueezit ontstaan. Met een wederzijds respect voor elkaars muziekachtergrond en speelstijl (Erik meer Iers/Schots en Bert meer Balfolk), brengen Bert en Erik heerlijke Balfolk met zowel Frans/Vlaamse als Keltische invloeden. Of je nu danst of luistert, het is sowieso genieten.

Dansuitleg
Tevoren 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.

Programma
Het programma voor de avond ziet er als volgt uit:

17.30: Deuren open
18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 - 22.30: Bal met Nachtmuziek en Exqueezit
23.00: Deuren dicht

Toegang
Toegang tot het bal kost 25 euro per persoon. Dit kan alleen cash aan de deur worden betaald.

Locatie
Q-Bus is gevestigd in Leiden. Vlakbij kan geparkeerd worden in een parkeergarage. Check voor de routes met OV en met auto je favoriete routeplanner."""

Deze donderdag 6 juni is het socialles nr 304. Deze les wordt gegeven door Paul en Bo. Zij gaan aan de slag met een lesje 'fusion', waarbij verschillende dansstijlen en technieken met elkaar gemixt kunnen worden tot een nieuwe inspirerende vorm op de dansvloer. Waarschijnlijk zal dit met de scottish gedaan worden. Enige ervaring met de scottish als dans is wel aan te raden.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)

De meest magische dansjes die ik heb gedanst, waren dansen waarbij we niet meer wisten wie de volger was en wie de leider. We waren allebei aan het luisteren naar de ander én de muziek, we namen allebei af en toe initiatief, en af en toe ontstonden er bewegingen die niemand echt inzette. Of dat ik dacht aan meer draaien, en dat het even later gebeurde, zonder dat ik het had ingezet. Samen spelen in scottish, mazurka en wals, zonder dat er duidelijke rollen zijn.

Voor deze workshop is het belangrijk dat je scottish, mazurka en wals in beide rollen redelijk tot goed beheerst. De workshop ritmische variaties is een goede voorbereiding op deze workshop, de danshoudingoefeningen die we daar doen, gaan heel erg helpen om de rollen losser te laten.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4 of meer!) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer - door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
24 juni: Congo door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

Deze donderdag 13 juni is het socialles nr 305. Deze les wordt gegeven door Fulco, een ervaren balfolk én salsadanser. Vooral met de scottish is het mogelijk veel te doen met salsafiguren en salsa-stijlen en misschien zelfs een nieuwe groepsdansvariatie met een combi van salsa en balfolk? Salsa-ervaring is niet nodig. Voor absolute beginners in de balfolk kan het tempo van deze les mogelijk wat hoog liggen. Vragen hierover? Neem even contact op!

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

12 juni: Zonder ogen dans je meer (workshop met blinddoeken) door Louise Marius (half gevorderd)

Wellicht heb je wel eens op de dansstage, op cadansa of op een bal mensen met een blinddoek op zien dansen? 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.

Ik ga er van uit dat iedereen de basis van de veel voorkomende dansen (scottish en mazurka, jig tovercirkel, hanterdro) kent. Voor wie vorig jaar deze workshop heeft gevolgd, de inhoud zal niet precies hetzelfde zijn...

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4 of meer!) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer - door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
24 juni: Congo door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

Deze donderdag 20 juni is het socialles nr 306. Deze les wordt gegeven door Leon. De branle de noirmoitier is een fijne groepsdans, boordevol energie en een goed groepsgevoel, maar hoe gaat deze nu eigenlijk precies en hoe haal je er zoveel mogelijk lol uit?

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

 \tHartwin Dhoore Trio



Naast het optreden als soloartiest in een meer fragiele en intieme setting, houdt Hartwin van de magie die musiceren met andere muzikanten met zich meebrengt.

Pavel Souvandjiev (Hartwin's neef) groeide op in een muzikaal gezin en speelt viool sinds zijn kindertijd. Na een klassieke muziekopleiding, ontdekte hij als veertienjarige de folkscene. Een circuit waaruit hij niet meer weg te denken is en vooral bekend staat als een van de oprichters van het succesvolle trio ‘Aerokorda'. Zijn uitmuntende viool skills tillen de muziek van het trio naar een hoger universum.




Flavia Escartin (Cello) groeide op op het Catalaanse platteland in een boerderij tussen wijngaarden en prachtige natuurlandschappen. De invloed van deze omgeving maakt haar stijl organisch en onuitsprekelijk. Maar ze heeft ook roots in het Westen. Met haar Belgische moeder bezocht ze regelmatig haar grootouders in Gent en momenteel studeert ze in Amsterdam in Nederland. Flavia treedt ook vaak op met haar zus Laia onder de naam 'Escarteen Sisters' en werkt vaak samen met muzikanten uit de jazz- en wereldmuziekscene. Haar groovy chops en vloeiende boogtechnieken laten het repertoire van het trio swingen als een trein.



 \tDuo Baftig

Wat 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!

Locatie
Mezrab 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.

Er is plek voor zo'n 100 dansers.

Hoera! Hoera voor de zon, hoera voor een dansje, hoera voor een zaal, hoera voor muziek, medemensen en één die al 40 jaar mag meegenieten. Komen jullie ook genieten? Er is een Midzomernachtsfeest! Niek nodigt uit...

De avond trapt af met een concert van accordeoniste Barbara Eva Ardenois die met haar Dreamy Folk Flow de luisteraar mee neemt in haar Scandinavische avonturen. Een midzomernachtsconcert voor midzomernachtsavond. Composities voor de stille uren, een uitnodiging tot contemplatie en vertraging. Een concert om te luisteren en te beleven. Naast accordeon gebruikt ze ook andere instrumenten in haar solo-set: herdersfluit, kantele en sporadisch een lijntje zang. 

Daarna begint het midzomernachtsbal. Een dansuitleg vangt meteen aan nadat de stoelen van het concert opzij geschoven zijn, om alle mensen die voor het eerst komen, die de opfriscursus willen, die eens willen snuffelen, kunnen kennismaken met balfolk dansen. In het bijzonder zijn de bewoners van Rijen en Oosterhout uitgenodigd om dit te proeven en mee te maken.

Vervolgens kan het officiële bal van start. De jarige accordeonist Niek van Uden-Luteijn zal met twee duo's de avond openen.Two Catch a Raindropmet zijn vrouw Annelies van Uden-Luteijn op hobo's brengt speelse balfolk, met naast hun lyrische samenspel ook liedjes van vroeger en nu.

e = m(T2) is de wereldpremière van de hernieuwde samenwerking met snarenman Sander van der Schaaf, waarbij ze hun Té repertoire afstoffen en hun liefde voor Zweedse polska gaan laten horen. Energie krijg je van de muziek van dit Tsquare duo!

Paracetamol trekt vervolgens flink van leer met hun afwisselende ingetogen en energieke arrangementen, van klassiekers tot eigen werk. Dit kwartet brengt met gitaar, contrabas en een flinke dosis doedelzak, sax, viool en wat nog meer een toffe dansset vol bitterzoete balfolk. 

BmB, met zanger en gitarist Luc Plompen, alleskunner Wouter Kuyper en Niek van Uden-Luteijn op accordeon hebben nog een slotset voor de genieters van het late uur, met prachtige liederen, stevige bourrées en hier en daar een vrolijke dansante uitdaging.

Na de laatste versterkte noten is er ruimte voor sessie in de foyer.

Praktisch:

Locatie:
CC De Boodschap
Nassaulaan 62-64
5121 BC Rijen

Het is de eerste keer dat er een bal folk op deze locatie wordt gegeven. De vloer is glad maar niet verend. Houd hier eventueel rekening met de keuze voor je schoenen.

Eten:
Tussen 18u00 en 19u30 is er een potluck nabij het bal, op de pastorie. Breng een toevoeging voor de maaltijden mee en geniet gezellig van de overvloed aan eten met de andere bezoekers van de avond. Vanwege de horecaregels organiseren we dit op een andere locatie, loopafstand van zowel de hoofdlocatie als het station.
Adres:
Hoofdstraat 58, Rijen

OV:
Station Gilze-Rijen ligt op 20 minuten loopafstand van de evenementlocatie. Er zijn beperkt Ovfietsen beschikbaar. Voor de laatste treinen gaan we kijken of er een taxi'tje te organiseren is.
Laatste trein richting Utrecht (Tilburg, Den Bosch): 0:30 rechtstreeks, 0:41 omweg
Laatste trein richting Amsterdam (Rotterdam, Breda): 0:41
Laatste trein richting Nijmegen: 0:00 via Breda, 23:30 rechtstreeks

Auto:
Parkeren kan zowel bij de potluck-locatie als bij de evenementlocatie voor de deur/om de hoek. Denk aan je parkeerschijf voor het eerste deel van de avond wanneer je voor de supermarkt parkeert aan de Hoofdstraat.
Rijen is goed bereikbaar vanaf de A27 (vanuit Utrecht, afslag Oosterhout-Zuid, vanuit westen/zuiden, afslag Dorst), A58 vanuit Tilburg/Eindhoven (afslag Gilze, Rijen, Baarle-Nassau), A59 vanuit Den Bosch en Nijmegen. Zie ook jullie eigen routeplanners :)

Overnachten:
D'n Mastendol is een recreatiepark met kampeerplaatsen, boomhutten en stacaravans op nog geen 15 minuten lopen van de evenementlocatie. Natuurkampeerterrein de Duiventoren ligt op 10 minuten auto/fiets van de evenementlocatie en heeft naast kampeerplekken ook enkele houten tonnen en huisjes voor overnachtingen. Op 10 minuten auto-afstand vind je aan de oostkant van Breda op bedrijventerrein Hoogeind de budgethotels Campanile en Bastion, Van der Valk Hotel vind je richting Gilze nabij de oprit van de A58 en 4-sterrenhotel Auberge du Bonheur aan de westzijde van Tilburg. In Molenschot is een camperplaats De Trekvogel. Rijen en Molenschot hebben beiden nog meer sta-caravanparken.

Reserveringen binnenkort via balfolk.nl
Ticket info:
Deze avond is expliciet bedoeld voor nieuwe bezoekers én ervaren folkies. Om deze reden is er een speciaal tarief voor iedereen die uit de regio komt waarin Niek woont en werkt. Als je voor dit tarief in aanmerking wilt komen, neem je op de avond zelf je ID en een corresponderende geadresseerde brief mee om je postcode aan te tonen. En natuurlijk de symbolische euro als toegang. We hopen dat de nieuwe bezoekers het evenement dusdanig kunnen waarderen dat ze ter plaatse nog een donatie willen doen ter waarde van een volwaardig kaartje. 
All-in tickets voor accordeonconcert om 19u30 en de rest van de dansavond zijn via deze weg te reserveren, evenals losse entree tickets voor het bal. Voor beiden is een regulier en een fairtrade tarief. Wanneer je het kunt misschien, maak je met het fairtrade tarief mogelijk dat de aanwezige muzikanten goed betaald kunnen worden voor hun werk. Er wordt expliciet geen winst gemaakt op dit evenement. Mocht er geld overblijven na verdeling onder de muzikanten met een betaling die conform geldende normen is, zal dit gedoneerd worden aan Brabant Landschap"""

Over de Dansuitleg: In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft v/d dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in. Wat is Balfolk? Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.

Over Hartwin (Trio): Hartwin is diatonisch accordeonist en componist. Zijn instrumentale muziek ontroert al vele jaren mensen wereldwijd. Hij staat bekend om zijn eenvoudige en melancholische melodieën die veel ruimte laten voor de verbeelding van de luisteraars en dansers. Samen met Flavia Escartin (cello) en Pavel Souvandjiev (viool) creëert hij een akoestisch universum dat raakt vanaf de eerste noot. Verwacht je aan een muzikaal avontuur om bij weg te dromen. https://www.facebook.com/hartwindhoore

De 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."""

24 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)

Congo de captieux, een leuke dans met z’n 4-en, uit het zuiden van frankrijk. 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

Het 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.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise  in Lent
Van 6 mei t/m 24 juni organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 7 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. 

Het programma:

De workshops vinden plaats op de maandagavond en duren van 19:00 tot 21:30. 

6 mei: Poitou door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
13 mei: Ritmische variaties in scottish en mazurka door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
20 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
27 mei: Bourree (en ronde en figuren met 4 of meer!) door Louise Marius (alle niveaus)
10 juni: Sharing is Caring - Uitwisseling van leiden en volgen - door Louise Marius (voor gevorderde dansers)
17 juni: Zonder ogen dansen je meer - door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)
24 juni: Congo door Louise Marius (voor half gevorderde dansers)

Inschrijven en kosten:

Je 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.

Losse workshops:
Normaal tarief: 30 euro
Kortingstarief: 27,50 euro

Aanmelden en betalen voor 3 of meer workshops tegelijk:
Normaal tarief: 25 euro per workshop
Kortingstarief: 22,50 euro per workshop

Dit 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."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 27 juni is het socialles nr 307. Deze les wordt gegeven door René en Isobel. We maken deze keer een uitstapje naar een net wat andere dansstroming dan de balfolk, namelijk de Ceilidh-dansen. Groepsdansen, veelal eenvoudig, met een caller die omroept wat je precies doet, met simpele stapjes, veel lol en af en toe wat chaos (maar niet te veel). Ervaring met ceilidh is niet nodig.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het 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.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf 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.

Locatie
Je 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.

Zaalregels
In 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.

Prijs
De 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."""

De bands die dit jaar op het hoofdpodium komen optreden zijn:
- Wouter Kuyper Solo
- Geronimo
- Qui Vive
- Broes
- Cardboard Cabin

Tijdens het eten zal er op het kleine podium muziek zijn van Vandiekomsa.

Louise Marius geeft om 11.30 een workshop mazurka voor begonners. Deze duurt één of anderhalf uur.
Dus worstel je met de mazurka, dit is de mogelijkheid om je verder te verdiepen in deze fijne maar soms ook lastige koppeldans. Wouter Kuyper zal de workshop muzikaal begeleiden.

Kaartverkoop verloopt via de website van Hoessenbosch theater.
Kaarten kosten:
Bal € 36,00
Bal met korting € 33,50

Het balfolkseizoen in Zuid-Holland wordt afgesloten met een zomers sessiebal op zaterdag 6 juli. Ook dit seizoen sluiten we weer af met het in de spotlight zetten van muzikanten: de 15 minutes of fame.

Open podium
Voor en na het optreden van de band deze avond is het podium voor andere muzikanten. Speel jouw (balfolk)muziek voor de dansers en andere muzikanten op de dansvloer en pak je eigen 15 minutes of fame.

Dus 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!

Aanmelden is handig, dan kan er een planning worden gemaakt. Mail naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com jouw naam en welk muziekinstrument jij en je eventuele mede-muzikant(en)spelen.

Bal met live-muziek
Behalve het open podium, komt er ook nog een band live voor ons spelen. Welke band dat zal zijn, maken we later nog bekend.

Dansuitleg
Voorafgaand 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.

Het volledige programma ziet er als volgt uit:
17.00 – 18.00: Picknick
18.00 – 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 – 20.00: 15 minutes of fame (deel 1)
20.00 – 21.30: Bal!
21.30 – 22.30: 15 minutes of fame (deel 2)
22.30 – 23.00: Sessie/afronding

Het 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.

Picknick
Iedereen 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.

Vragen
Heb je vragen, tips of opmerkingen? Neem contact op via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com"""

Dansuitleg
In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.

Bart Praet
The new solo project of Bart Praet, was given the name “Dawn”. The strings of the mandola are central ... They are accompanied by the emotional sound of the duduk and keys. Every instrument is put through a looping station and some effects are added. This way musical lines are interwoven to form a unity … Sometimes the sound is subdued and soft, sometimes it is sparkling and exuberant. On the menu is totally new folk music, with spicy influences from other genres. The result is a contemporary folk, based on tradition and experiences with and influences by other bands. Early 2023 Bart is releasing a first demo cd for this project. https://bartpraet.be/

Wat is Balfolk?
Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.
De Kapel
De kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.

AGENDA
Schrijf de data alvast in je agenda en houd balfolk.nl in de gaten.

Andrea Capezzuoli – italian folk musician

Wat is Balfolk?
Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.
De Kapel
De kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.

details = """
\"Infinitum ball\" is the continuous, no-ending process of dancing, learning, and being together. This event will happen for the first time in Lithuania, so we hope to see everyone enjoying an infinite journey together. During the festival, there will be various workshops and dance balls. You will see performers from Lithuania and other European countries on the stage.\r
\r
We would love to see how this festival becomes a tradition and connects Bal folk dancers from all over Europe.\r
Behind the name:\r
\r
Ad infinitum :\r
1. meaning - without end or limit\r
2. meaning - In context, it usually means \"continue forever, without limit,\" this can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating repeating process, or a set of instructions to be repeated \"forever,\" among other uses. It may also be used like the Latin phrase et cetera to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown. Examples include:\r
\r
Ballo/ball :\r
1. meaning - The Ballo was an Italian dance form during the fifteenth century, most noted for its frequent tempo and meter changes. The name ballo has its origin in Latin ballo, ballare, meaning \"to dance,\" which in turn comes from the Greek \"βαλλίζω\" \"to dance, to jump about.\" In Greece, there is a Greek dance named Ballos.\r
2. meaning - Ballroom dances are social dancing, popular since the beginning of the 20th century, to dances in conventional rhythms ( ballroom dances) such as the foxtrot and the quickstep.\r
Program and other info later this year.\r
\r
Dance is energy – Dance is freedom!\r

Weekend intensive van 15 t/m 17 november

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀...
Heb je je ooit afgevraagd \"Wie ben ik als danser en wie zou ik willen zijn?\"
Deze intensive is een danservaring die (ervaren) dansers ertoe leidt hun volledige potentieel te bereiken om hun dans te ontwikkelen en dieper te duiken in beweging, lichaamscontrole en co-creatie (improvisatie).
Na een succesvolle editie in 2022 en 2023, komt er een nieuwe editie eind dit jaar.
MAX. AANTAL PLAATSEN: 16
TAAL: Nederlands
DUUR: 2,5 dag
AANMELDEN: link volgt


𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelproces 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.
𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻:
Biomechanica 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…
𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: 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.
🅛🅔🅣 🅞🅟: Het instapniveau ligt relatief hoog, twijfel je over je dansniveau? Stuur me een berichtje!


𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁/𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Balfolk Groningen is dansen op live folkmuziek en natuurlijk sessie na afloop: dus neem ook je instrumenten mee!
Entree: vrijwillige donatie, zoals bijvoorbeeld € 15,- Geef ruim, want alles gaat 100% naar muzikanten.
Globaal tijdschema:
19:30 dansworkshop
20:30 Bal

(Tijden onder voorbehoud)
Dansuitleg
In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.

Airboxes
Een nieuw duo uit België met oude bekenden: Bert Leemans & Guus Herremans. Deze accordeonisten uit 2 verschillende generaties kennen elkaar al ongeveer 15 jaar en een samenwerking als duo leek dus onvermijdelijk. Airboxes brengt uitsluitend eigen werk in de unieke combinatie van een diatonische en een chromatische accordeon.Hun eerste concert vond plaats begin juli 2017 in Teetzleben (D). Nummer twee was meteen al in Castelfidardo (I), het mekka van het accordeon dus.Na hun passage langs de stage van het Boombalfestival (B) en Boombal Gent intiem (B) zijn ze nu klaar om hun programma voor te stellen aan het grote publiek.
Airboxes

Wat is Balfolk?
Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.
De Kapel
De kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.

AGENDA
Schrijf de data alvast in je agenda en houd balfolk.nl in de gaten.

13 december: Tom Moore en Archie Moss

17 januari: Paracetamol

Dansuitleg
In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.

Tom Moore and Archie Moss
Widely regarded as two of the best players and innovators in traditional folk amongst a precociously gifted generation, Moore & Moss’ finely-crafted arrangements wield a rare potency. Now, having toured with with some of the biggest and brightest acts in the British folk scene, they reconvene to perform as duo.
Their second record (released 2020) is set to further unite the deep and resolute harmony of Moss’s accordion with the texture and flow of Moore’s viola; with droning, whirring, sparkling layers of electro-acoustic grit provoking a subtle complexity of palette. Whilst intrinsically borrowing from English and other European traditional dance form, sonically Moore and Moss have their heads firmly in the present, understanding the values of contemporary music and art making. The distinct pulse and intuition of trad-music haunts their playing as they continue to quietly reconsider English instrumental music, listening and responding to the world around them as much as their musical ancestors.
Tom Moore | Archie Moss (tommoorearchiemoss.com)

Wat is Balfolk?
Balfolk is misschien een beetje te vergelijken met een tango- of salsa-avond, maar dan met de muziek en dansen van hier: de dansen en muziek die traditioneel in West-Europa voorkomen. En er is altijd live muziek! En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan meedoen.
De Kapel
De kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. Wanneer je binnenkomt loop je naar de bar, en rechts van de bar bevindt zich de deur naar de kapel.
