TARANTA DJUS
Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy … alle diese Musikstile beherrscht das GUSTI DJUS ORKESTAR und mischt sie lebhaft durcheinander, bis schließlich ein „Gůstí Đůs“ (kroatisch = satter fruchtfleischiger Saft) entsteht. Wohl bekomm’s!
Fügt man noch Pizzica- und Tarantella-Musik hinzu und schmeckt alles mit Sonnenschein aus Süditalien ab, so wird dieser musikalische Saft zur hochwirksamen Medizin – anwendbar gegen winterliche Depressionen ebenso wie gegen die Tanzwut nach dem Tarantelbiss.
E va bene, ein „Taranta Djus“ ist erschaffen!

singen und spielen Folkmusik voller Energie. Mal frisch, mal verträumt, interpretiert das Berliner Duo Songs und Melodien aus Deutschland, England, Frankreich und vom Balkan."""

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Muzikaliteit en/in de dans door Wouter Kuyper
Waarom dansen sommige mensen een wals op een mazurka, of andersom? Kan je het verschil horen tussen een snelle scottish en een polka? Wat maakt een bourrée een bourrée (in 2? in 3?) ? En kan je een scottish dansen op een andro? Deze vragen komen in een workshop met een van de meest ervaren (bal)folkmuzikanten in Nederland allemaal aan bod.

Workshopbeschrijving
Hoe herken je als danser de dingen die belangrijk zijn in de muziek om op te dansen, dat is waar deze workshop over zal gaan. Over verschillen en overeenkomsten, over een glijdende schaal of niet, over je eigen keuzes, en die van de band... en zo meer. Ik neem zelf natuurlijk onderwerpen mee, maar het lijkt me leuk om ook een dialoog mogelijk te maken. (Muziek en dans is altijd een uitwisseling!) Dat betekent dat je ook je prangende vragen over de muziek en aanverwanten mee mag nemen; wie weet heb ik een antwoord. ;-) En het is ook de bedoeling dat we veel dansen, natuurlijk.

Niveau
De workshop staat open voor iedereen die wil dansen, en die al een beetje een basis heeft in de dansen, en dus ook iets kan met bovenstaande vragen. (begonners-gevorderden)


Over de Docent
Wouter Kuyper (1978) is sinds zijn 10de jaar al bezig met de volksmuziek. Als muzikant: Eerst met blokfluit, daarna met doedelzak, en vervolgens sinds zijn 15e ook met de trekharmonica. Na vele stages (en de daarbij horende nachten) gevolgd te hebben, onder andere in Gooik (BE), St. Chartier (FR) en \"Trek er es Uut \" en \"Schier\" in Nederland, speelt hij nu onder andere met de Nederlandse Balfolkbands \"Wouter en de Draak\", BmB, Androneda en nog meer.
Als muziekdocent: Hij heeft al jaren zijn eigen trekzakacademie en heeft lesgegeven bij Trek er es Uut, Doorslaande Tongen en de Stichting Volksmuziek Nederland (SVN). Maar ook als danser en dansdocent: Hij ontwikkelde en gaf 15 jaar geleden de danslessen met Louise Marius, en gaf jaren balfolkdansles in Leiden.

Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.

Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).

Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)

Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. Bekijk de richtlijnen hier.

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

Eindelijk is het zo ver! Ook in Groningen komt er weer een echt balfolkbal. Op 8 april speelt Paracetamol in De Travertijn.

Programma
18.30 Deuren open
19.00 Dansworkshop (incl Bravade en Grabbelton)
20.00 Bal deel 1
20.45 Pauze
21.15 Bal deel 2
22.00 Spansen (spelen en dansen, neem je instrument dus mee voor deze sessie!)
23.00 Einde

Het bal vindt plaats in De Travertijn. Daar hebben we een mooie grote zaal met een heel erg fijne houten dansvloer. Adres: Travertijnstraat 6 in Groningen.

De kosten zijn 10 euro. Heb je voldoende te besteden en draag je live muziek een warm hart toe? Betaal dan wat meer bijvoorbeeld 20 of 15 euro. Na aftrek van de zaalhuur gaat namelijk al het geld naar de muzikanten. Zijn de kosten voor jou een reden om niet te komen? Neem dan even contact op dan kunnen we vast samen een oplossing vinden.

Er is geen bar. Wel mogen we zelf eten en drinken meenemen. Alcohol is in het gebouw niet toegestaan.
Het is fijn als je je vooraf aanmeldt. Dat kan via een PM aan Mariken Stegmann of via email naar balfolkcafe.groningen@gmail.com. Vooraf betalen vinden we ook fijn. Dat kan door het geld over te maken naar NL67Rabo0342768719 tnv ME Stegmann. Niet vooraf aangemeld? Aanmelden aan de zaal + contant betalen kan ook!
We hanteren de op dat moment geldende corona-maatregelen. Op dit moment betekent dat alleen: blijf bij klachten thuis. We houden je op de hoogte mochten de regels veranderen.

Tijdens de workshop kunnen we alvast lekker dansen: De bandleden behandelen de basispassen van een aantal dansen zodat beginners niet aan de kant hoeven staan. Maar daarnaast is er ook aandacht voor een aantal minder bekende dansen die Paracetamol wel in het repertoire heeft zitten zoals de Bravade en de Grabbelton. De workshop is geschikt voor zowel beginners als meer gevorderde dansers. Dus het je nu gaat om een goede voorbereiding op het bal of om een uurtje extra dansen, je bent van harte welkom!

Om 22u moet de versterkte muziek uit. Waarschijnlijk is er nog wel de mogelijkheid om onversterkt nog even samen muziek te maken en door te dansen. Ook hierover volgt tzt een update.
Over de band: Paracetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka’s, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657.
De band bestaat uit
- Rob Zantkuijl (doedelzakken, saxofoon),
- Jan Willem Veenhuis (gitaren, percussie),
- Gyöngyi Kovács (contrabas, zang) en
 -Nico Beltman (viool, dudey, doedelzak).

De Sèt Sauts (“zevensprong”, https://youtu.be/rjbppyTDrso) is een dans die iedereen los van elkaar op een cirkel danst. Deze dans komt regelmatig op sessies langs, maar ze is ook onderdeel van een grotere familie dansen uit Gascogne (Béarn) genaamd de Sauts béarnais. Deze zijn allemaal gebaseerd op ‘calls’, instructies geroepen door een ‘caller’.
Vanavond gaan we bezig met een aantal van deze dansen. We starten met de Sèt Sauts, en leren daarna de calls voor wat andere sauts zoals de Mariana en La Craba. Als je een paar van deze calls kent, kun je op een bal nog veel meer sauts meedansen!

name = "Balfolk Utrecht — Fundamentals: Mazurka"
details = """
Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Fundamentals - Mazurka (basis en variaties in ritme en dynamiek)
De Fundamentals, workshops waarin we veelvoorkomende balfolk dansen leren. Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske & Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).

Workshopbeschrijving
De mazurka is een populaire koppeldans die oorspronkelijk uit Polen komt. De muziek en dans zijn ontzettend divers: van energiek naar sereen en van springerig naar vloeiend. Door onder andere de ritmiek van de pas te veranderen kun je improviseren, en zo ontstaat een dans waar velen naar vooruit kijken op bals.

In deze workshop gaan we ons de mazurka écht eigen maken door drie fundamentele aspecten uit te diepen: de basispas, lichaamshouding, en de communicatie met de danspartner. Er zal veel verschillende muziek langskomen om de diversiteit van de mazurka te schetsen, en we zullen variaties in ritme, verticale energie en dynamiek ontdekken. Het doel is om soepel en op een manier mazurka's te kunnen dansen op de uiteenlopende energie van de muziek.


Niveau
Voor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.

Voor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.

Over de Docenten
Renske en Aljosha zijn enthousiaste dansers die al jaren een passie voor Balfolk delen. Vanaf 2016 organiseren ze lessen en workshops in onder andere Wageningen en Nijmegen. Ook organiseren ze vijf keer per jaar het grote bal in de Junushoff in Wageningen. Hun dansfilosofie draait om het plezier in de dans, lichaamsbewustzijn en postuur, respect en connectie tussen danspartners, en dans als een interpretatie van muziek. Verder zijn ze als dansers actief in de wereld van contactimprovisatie.

Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.

Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).

Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)

Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. Bekijk de richtlijnen hier.

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

Hidrae
Hidrae steht für energetische Folkmusik mit kraftvollen Melodien, bezaubernden Klangfarben und kreativen Arrangements.
Voller Begeisterung spielen in der fünfköpfigen belgischen Band: HILKE BAUWERAERTS (Diatonisches Akkordeon & Gesang), MARIEKE VAN RANSBEECK
(Flämischen Dudelsack & Baroque Musette), MALICORNE BUYSSE (Violine & Cello), THOMAS HOSTE (Electro-Akustische Alt-Drehleier) und ZJEF VAN STEENBERGEN (E-Bass).
Einerseits steht Hidrae für einen ordentlichen Schuss Adrenalin und gleichzeitig für eine Portion glückseligiges Serotonin.
So bringen sie nicht nur die TänzerInnen in Bewegung, sondern verbinden sich auch mit den ZuhörerInnen.
Im Frühjahr 2020 wurde ihre erste CD mit dem melodischen Namen „Hydraulic“ veröffentlicht.

Mit irischer Mandoline, Gesang, Stomp Box, und elektroakustischen Effekten kreiert er einen ansprechenden und energetischen Mix, der garantiert die Füße in Bewegung bringt.
Im Dezember 2021 veröffentlichte er sein zweites Solo Album „Ancora“. Einen Vorgeschmack gibt es auf Spotify.

We kunnen weer dansen! Dus op 17 april (1e paasdag) gaan we weer los. We hopen dat de gemeente ons deze keer weer kan ondersteunen, andwoord hier op wordt binnekort verwacht maar het bal gaat hoe dan ook door! Omdat de fair-trade price afgelopen keer bevallen is blijven we dit concept hanteren, voor meer infromatie hierover kijk bij het kopje prijzen.

Wat is een Fest Noz?

Een Fest Noz is de bretonse naam voor een feest in de avond. Deze naam wordt meestal gebruikt voor evenementen in bretagne waar live muziek en dansen aanwezig zijn. Voor deze editie van het bal in Hoorn hebben we 3 groepen uit bretagne bereid gevonden om naar Hoorn af te reizen om hier een echt Fest Noz neer te zetten. Er zullen op de avond ook gewoon koppel dansen langs komen maar verwacht dus ook veel verschillende bretonse dansen. Deze dansen zullen tijdens de workshop worden uitgelegd en het is ook al vaker voorgekomen dat deze muzikanten onbekendere dansen tijdens het bal hebben uitgelegd (in het engels zelfs!!!). Dus maak je geen zorgen, we gaan er een goed feestje van maken!

Praktische informatie

De locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn en de treinen rijden nog nadat het bal is afgelopen.
Met de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Als het goed is kan er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.
Op de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden.
We zullen zorgen dat dit keer de ventilatie direct vanaf het begin aanstaat zodat het iets minder heet in de zaal wordt dan vorige keer!

Picknick

Tenzij de maatregelen veranderen zullen we tijdens het bal een potluck picknick hebben. We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Ik weet (nu) nog niet zeker of de winkels in de buurt op deze dag open zullen zijn, houd er dus rekening mee dat deze mogelijk gesloten zijn en dat je dus van te voren iets wil kopen om mee te nemen!

Workshop

Voorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gehouden worden door Leo Visser van BalfolkWorkshop.com, de workshop zal de basis van bretonse dansen behandelen en ingaan op hoe je kunt instappen in iedere dansen in een groep zonder het idee te hebben dat je de dans voor andere verpest. De workshop is dus vooral gericht op meer beginnende dansers maar ervaren dansers zijn meer dan welkom om ook weer even hun dansen op te frissen!

Prijzen

Voor het bal hanteren we twee tarieven. We hebben het normale tarief en het fair-trade tarief. De musikanten en geluids technici krijgen genoeg betaald voor hun werk door ondersteuning van de gemeente Hoorn. Het fair trade tarief is het bedrag dat eigenlijk nodig zou zijn om iedereen ruimte kunnen betalen, de gages die nu gegeven worden kunnen gerealiseerd worden doordat er een tour bezig is. Extra inkomsten vanuit het Fair-Trade tarief gaan dus ook direct naar de geluids technici en de musikanten toe zodra de rest van de kosten van het bal betaald zijn.

Normaal tarief: 20 euro
Fair-Trade tarief: 25 euro
Workshop: 20 euro

Kaartjes kopen

Vanaf 25 februari om 12:00 (midden op de dag) zal de kaartverkoop open gaan. Vanaf dat moment kunt u via de link hier reserveren. Na reservering ontvangen u de betaal informatie voor de kaartjes.

Covid Maatregelen

We zullen tijdens het bal de op het dat moment geldende corona maatregelen vanuit de Nederlandse Overheid hanteren. 1 a 2 weken voorafgaand aan het bal zullen we hier nog meer informatie over geven."""

De maandelijkse balfolk avond in Amsterdam in de Mezrab, een kroeg gerund door leuke mensen nodigt balfolk uit om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).
Een dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band. Sessie na. Komen jullie ook?

De entree is slechts 13,- euro voor een hele avond plezier! Dansuitleg om 19:30. Bal vanaf 20:30. Reserveren is niet noodzakelijk en kan  op de site van Balfolk Amsterdam als je zeker wilt zijn van toegang.

Er wordt lekkere Iraanse soep geserveerd, voor 6 euro krijg je ook een bordje (de rode linzensoep is vegan). Dus als je direct uit je werk komt, kan je het frietje op 't station overslaan :-)

Programma:
19:00 Deuren open (soep!)
19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met juffen Gepke en Berend. Live begeleiding!
20:30 Bal met de begeleidingsband!
21:00 Bal met Duo Mackie/Hendrix
23:30 einde en nog een half uurtje sessie
Alan Mackie en Lies Hendrix vonden elkaar in 2015 onder de middernachtzon in Noord-Noorwegen. In die tijd waande Alan zich een jazzbassist en dacht Lies dat ze een taalkundige was. Enkele jaren, talloze kaneelbroodjes, nachtelijke kaartspellen en gefluisterde jams in Franse hotelkamers later weten ze dat ze het bij het verkeerde eind hadden: er gaat niets boven samen viool en accordeon spelen.

In 2021 giet Duo Mackie/Hendrix traditionele dansmuziek uit heel Europa en Noord-Amerika in de vorm van populaire balfolkdansen: Kentucky square dances worden jigs, hallings uit Värmland blijken Bretoense rijdansen en bourrées zijn bourrées. Mackies gevoel voor jazz- en bluegrassimprovisatie en Hendrix' harmonische intuïtie bouwen onverwachte bruggen tussen ogenschijnlijk onverwante tradities, met unieke en levendige dans- en luistermuziek als resultaat.

Hier is video van een eerder 'bluegrassy' nummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9vqoCX5Bso). Daarnaast spelen we ook veel 'echte' (zowel Franse als Scandinavische) dansmuziek."""

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Fundamentals 3 - Polka (basis en variaties in ritme en figuur)
We hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.

De Fundamentals, workshops waarin we veelvoorkomende balfolk dansen leren. Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske & Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).


Het is mogelijk om je los in te schrijven voor elke Fundamentals workshop.


Workshopbeschrijving
Polka, een koppeldans met een eenvoudige basis en ongekende mogelijkheden. De Polka komt veel voor op bals en is een ideale dans om variaties en technieken te leren die bij allerlei andere dansen ook van pas komen. Met deze workshop op zak heb je gegarandeerd op alle bals een leuke tijd!

Deze Fundamentals workshop begint zoals gebruikelijk met een aantal bases: basispassen en basishouding, zowel in leiden en volgen. Je bent vrij om de rol te leren/dansen die jij wil. Naast dat we deze bases onder de knie krijgen, gaan we aan de slag met variaties en techniek binnen het thema 'verplaatsen in de ruimte' - heel leuk om eindeloos mee te spelen en nuttig om botsingen op de dansvloer te voorkomen.

Met verplaatsingen in de ruimte kunnen we als danskoppel allerlei kanten op gaan, letterlijk. Denk maar aan draaien, van richting veranderen, of naar de andere kant van de zaal bewegen. We zullen bij deze workshop wat extra ruimte maken voor persoonlijke aandacht en oefeningen zodat je steeds comfortabeler wordt in je danshouding en in effectieve communicatie met je danspartner. Zo stap je straks met nog meer plezier en vertrouwen de dansvloer op!


Niveau
Voor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.

Voor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.


Over de Docent
Sophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de tijdloze en improvisatorische danswereld. Ze heeft brede ervaring in het lesgeven van niet alleen tijdloze dans maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contact improvisatie en mime. Haar uitgebreide achtergrond zet ze in om studenten van alle leeftijden de vele verschillende wegen naar Rome in de optredende kunsten te laten zien. Sophie leidt vele verschillende (improvisatie) dansprojecten en streeft naar iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven om te leren zichzelf, binnen hun mogelijkheden en talenten, te uiten via de kunst.


Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.


Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).


Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)


Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

name = "Workshop Cross Step Waltz van Alena (PL) incl. practicum"
details = """
Alena Bialova komt speciaal voor ons vanuit Polen om zondag 8 mei een workshop Cross Step Waltz (CSW) te geven in een prachtige zaal met houten vloer in Arnhem.

Deze dans is een leuke toevoeging aan je balfolk repertoire als je van walsen houdt. En kan gedanst worden op langzame walsen en heeft ook wat weg van slängpolska.

Workshop + practicum: € 25,-

Het 'practicum' is een FusionUnion social met veel mooie walsjes om je Cross step Waltz op te oefenen afgewisseld met gevarieerde nummers uit verschillende stijlen.
Aanmelden voor de workshop is noodzakelijk  bij peggypay
Deelnemen kan zonder partner.

Het practicum kan ook los van de workshop worden bezocht (15:30-19:30).
Online sale practicum: € 7,- (cash aan de deur € 10,-)
Zie ook het Facebook-event onder 'Meer info >>'

Over Alena Bialova:
Naast CSW is Alena fervent danser binnen verschillende dansstijlen waaronder, historische dansen, balfolk, blues, fusion, tango en danst ze al jaren Schotse dansen en Iers. Ze is organisator en DJ van verschillende evenementen in Krakow waaronder balfolk, fusion en historisch reenactment. Haar dansgroep in Krakow is momenteel de enige groep in West-Europa die op regelmatige basis cross-step lessen houdt.

Wat is CSW (Cross Step Waltz):
Een dansvorm die makkelijk te leren is, doch eindeloos innovatief en gevarieerd genoeg voor beginnende alsook gevorderde dansers. Je legt afstand af en er is sprake van rotatie zoals bij een 'traditionele' wals maar door de kruisende-pas is er een grote range en speelse set aan variaties mogelijk. Waardoor een vloeiende en bijna meditatieve manier van wals bereikt kan worden.

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Fundamentals - Groepsdans

We hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.

De Fundamentals, workshops waarin we veelvoorkomende balfolk dansen leren. Je zult hier de basis en een aantal variaties leren, of ze juist verfijnen. Vorig seizoen leerden we de Fundamentals van de Wals en Scottish in twee workshops van Rian de Jong. Dit voorjaar gaan we verder met nog drie Fundamentals workshops: Mazurka (Renske en Aljosha), Polka (Sophie van Grinsven), en Groepsdansen (Renske en Aljosha).

Workshopbeschrijving
In deze workshop werken we aan het basisrepertoire groepsdansen: tovercirkel, jig, an dro en hanter dro. Deze dansen komen vaak voorbij op bals, zijn een heerlijke uitnodiging om oude en nieuwe dansers te leren kennen. We zullen een stuk dieper op iedere dans ingaan dan in de initiatie, en naast de passen en variaties werken aan de groepsenergie die juist deze dansen zo speciaal maakt - van de connectie tussen buren of partners naar de samenhang van de hele cirkel of rij.

Tovercirkel (“cercle cercassien”) en jig (“chapelloise”) zijn voorbeelden van “mixers”: dansen waarin de dansvloer gemengd wordt omdat iedere 32 maten van partner gewisseld wordt. We zullen aandacht besteden aan mogelijkheden om met de choreografie te spelen, werken aan een goede communicatie in de verschillende danshouding die mixers bieden, en aan etiquette. Na de workshop zul je meer mogelijkheden hebben om te variëren in mixers, en meer plezier vinden in de speelse soepelheid die deze dansen kunnen bereiken.

An dro en hanter dro zijn Bretonse rijdansen, waarbij er ketens van aaneengesloten dansers worden gevormd. We bespreken uiteraard de basis voor de handen en voeten, maar gaan ook hard werken aan de synergie tussen buren en door de hele rij heen. Die synergie ligt deels in het postuur dat karakteristiek is voor Bretonse dansen, maar ook in de verticale energie (bounce) in de rij. We gaan op zoek naar die verticale energie in muziek en dans.


Niveau
Voor wie net begint met balfolk is, zijn de Fundamentals een kans om zowel de basistechnieken als wat verdieping te leren. Alle Fundamentals workshops zijn toegankelijk voor beginners, dus je hoeft niet de vorige te doen om de volgende te kunnen.

Voor wie al een tijdje balfolk danst, is dit een kans om je techniek te verfijnen en/of de andere rol te leren, en hierbij kun je gebruik maken van de persoonlijke aandacht van onze fijne docente.


Over de Docenten
Renske en Aljosha zijn enthousiaste dansers die al jaren een passie voor Balfolk delen. Vanaf 2016 organiseren ze lessen en workshops in onder andere Wageningen en Nijmegen. Ook organiseren ze vijf keer per jaar het grote bal in de Junushoff in Wageningen. Hun dansfilosofie draait om het plezier in de dans, lichaamsbewustzijn en postuur, respect en connectie tussen danspartners, en dans als een interpretatie van muziek. Verder zijn ze als dansers actief in de wereld van contactimprovisatie.

Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.

Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).

Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)

Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

name = "Socialles 230 — Bourrée Auvergnate"
details = """
Deze donderdag 12 mei is het socialles 230 in Rotterdam. Docenten deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Zij gaan samen met ons aan de slag met de bourree auvergnate (bourree in drie).

Programma
18.30: Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Dansen en corona
De coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet.

Locatie
De socialles is vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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."""

name = "Bal in Rotterdam"
details = """
Op zondag 15 mei gaan de voetjes van de vloer met een bal in Rotterdam! Voor het eerst op een nieuwe locatie voor Balfolk Zuid-Holland en met twee topbands!

De bands die voor ons komen optreden zijn Mr Folxlide en Duo Schepper-Sanczuk. Van heerlijk bluesy getinte balfolk tot sfeervolle en energieke deunen: deze beide muzikale artiesten gaan ons een topavond vol fijne balfolkdansjes bieden.

Vooraf zal er ook een workshop zijn, gegeven door Mr. Folxlide zelf! Meer informatie hierover maken we zo snel mogelijk bekend.

Programma
13:00 - 16:00 Workshop
15:00 - 16:00 Dansuitleg
16:00 - 18:00 Bal (deel 1)
18:00 - 19.00 Picknick
19:00 - 21:00 Bal (deel 2)
21.30 Einde

Dansuitleg
De dansuitleg is bedoeld om weer even in te komen voor als je al een poosje niet gedanst hebt, of als je de eerste pasjes alvast onder de knie wil krijgen. Iedereen is uiteraard welkom om mee te dansen.

Picknick
Er staat ook een picnick gepland. Breng daarvoor voor jezelf (en één of twee anderen) wat lekkers te eten mee, wat op één grote tafel wordt verzameld, zodat we met z'n allen een heerlijke maaltijd zullen hebben. Het is handig om eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen, dat is niet aanwezig op de locatie zelf.

Nieuwe locatie
De locatie kunnen we je al wel vertellen: voor het eerst zullen we een bal geven in het Maaspodium in Rotterdam, aan de Sint-Jobsweg 3 in Rotterdam. Deze locatie biedt een mooie danszaal en een gezellige bar en foyer waar behalve dansen ook wat bijgekomen en gekletst kan worden. Metrostation Coolhaven is op een kleine 10-15 minuten lopen afstand. Op zondag is voor zover bekend straatparkeren gratis. Er is ook een parkeergarage vlakbij. Gebruik je eigen favoriete routeplanner om je route te bepalen. Meer informatie is te vinden op de website van het Maaspodium. 

Toegang
Tickets kosten voor dit bal 25 euro per persoon. Reserveren is fijn, zowel voor jezelf als voor ons, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het gaat worden."""

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Verbinding in de Dans door Bart Boskaljon

We hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.

Workshop Beschrijving
Binnen balfolk hebben we veel vrijheid in hoe we dansen, onszelf uiten en verbinding maken met onze partner(s). Hoe we verbinden is heel is heel bepalend voor de dans. Het zorgt veel meer dansplezier bij ons en onze danspartners. En het mooie is: Iedereen kan het leren!

Tijdens de workshop gaan we samen opzoek naar hoe we een sterkere connectie kunnen maken in de dans en welke technieken we hiervoor kunnen gebruiken.

Over de Docent
Bart Boskaljon heeft ruim 20 jaar danservaring in o.a. Balfolk, Argentijnse tango en Stijldansen. Hij gebruikt technieken uit de verschillende dansen om met meer plezier en verfijnder te kunnen dansen. Foto Bart door Ferry Knijn.

Niveau
De workshop is voor iedereen toegankelijk die de basis van balfolk onder de knie heeft. We gebruiken een aantal verschillende dansen zoals scottish, wals, mazurka en de tovercirkel.

Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.

Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet meer zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik dan de deurbel. Bij geen gehoor kun je ook het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (soms is de bel niet goed te horen als de muziek aan staat tijdens de workshop, maar geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).

Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)

Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

Heb je vragen? Mail naar utrecht@balfolk.nl

De maandelijkse balfolk avond in Amsterdam in de Mezrab, een kroeg gerund door leuke mensen nodigt balfolk uit om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).
Een dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band. Sessie na. Komen jullie ook?

De entree is slechts 13,- euro voor een hele avond plezier! Dansuitleg om 19:30. Bal vanaf 20:30. Reserveren is niet noodzakelijk en kan  op de site van Balfolk Amsterdam als je zeker wilt zijn van toegang.

Er wordt lekkere Iraanse soep geserveerd, voor 6 euro krijg je ook een bordje (de rode linzensoep is vegan). Dus als je direct uit je werk komt, kan je het frietje op 't station overslaan :-)

Programma

19:00 Deuren open (soep!)
19:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners met juffen Gepke en Berend. Live begeleiding door PFM!.
20:30 Bal met PFM!
21:00 Bal met BMB
23:30 Einde en nog een half uurtje sessie

BmB
Wij zijn drie mannen die houden van folk.
We brengen gezongen liederen om je te laten stuiteren en zwijmelen, te laten zwieren, lachen en huilen. We brachten in 2021 ons eerste album uit en hopen dat je ons een keer komt bezoeken om het mee te maken.

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

Luister hier naar een nummer!

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Scandinavian Dances Crashcourse door Emelie Waldken
Deze workshop is voorgaand aan deze bal, zie hier. Je kunt daar reserveren voor de bal + workshop, ook kun je daar reserveren als je alleen naar de workshop wil komen.

Workshop Beschrijving


Let's jump right into the Scandinavian dances and we promise that the water is much less cold than you might expect! The vals is very similar to the waltz you already know, the slängpolska is improvisative, cooperative and fun, the halling is very free, show-offy and fun, and the schottis needs a bit more care about where you feet are but is, well, also very fun.
The main ingredient common to all these dances is the typical Nordic “bounce”, which we will keep as a running theme during these 3 hours. We will also focus on communication in dancing, listening both with your ears and your eyes, and keeping energy to last all night!

All in all, a useful workshop for everyone wanting to try Scandinavian dances but not having had the opportunity (or dare) yet, and also for people who, after two years break, want to remember how it is to walk on Nordic moss.

No prerequisites for attending the workshop, but dance experience is always a plus and we will go at a fast pace, to make the most of the limited time.
Music both on recordings and played live by Emelie.

Over de Docent
Emelie Waldken  is een muzikant en dansdocent uit Zweden. Je kunt meer over haar lezen door op haar naam te klikken.

Niveau
Voor alle niveaus mits je snel leert.

Locatie & Deurbeleid
De workshop vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

Prijzen en Reserveren
Voor de prijzen en reserveren, zie hier.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)"""

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Bal met Emelie Waldken, Les Bottines Artistiques en Wouter Kuyper
Herinner je nog de goede oude tijd, toen er bals waren in de Moira? Waar we knusse dansjes deden op goed muziek met leuke mensen. We hebben goed nieuws! We zijn terug na een aantal lange jaren met twee bals dit najaar en we openen met maar liefst 3 toffe bands!  En, mocht je nog nooit in de Moira hebben gedanst, dan is dit het perfecte moment om fijne herinneringen op te bouwen.

Er is een workshop van Emelie Waldken voor het bal, onderwerp gaan we nog aankondigen. Wil je de workshopbeschrijving lezen, zie hier.


Programma
12:00 – Workshop van Emelie Waldken
15:00 – Einde workshop
15:30 – Inloop voor het bal
16:00 – Emelie Waldken (Zweden)
17:30 – Potluck
19:00 – Wouter Kuyper (Nederland)
20:30 – Les Bottines Artistiques (Belgie)
22:00 – Einde bal en Sessie tijdens het opruimen


Bands
Op dit bal hebben we dus maar liefst drie volgende bands voor jullie:

Emelie Waldken  is een muzikant en dansdocent uit Zweden, die voor ons een workshop en uitvoering zal verzorgen. We kunnen dan de dingen dat we op de workshop hebben geleerd gelijk toepassen op het bal.

Wouter Kuyper is in de Nederlandse folk al jaren een zeer zeer bekende en populaire muzikant.

Les Bottines Artistiques is onze derde epische band met niemand minder dan Guus Herremans op accordeon en stopmbox en Pavel Souvandjiev op viool. Ze spelen al jaren samen door heel Europa, maar mocht je je nog afvragen, wie zijn dat? Je kunt meer over ze lezen door op hun naam te klikken, of je kunt hieronder naar ze luisteren. Met dank aan Frisse Folk voor de opname.

Let op! Mocht je reserveren, maar niet komen opdagen, dan moet je een boete van €5,- betalen voor de volgende keer dat je komt. Als je boete van de vorige keer nog moet betalen, dan kan dat gelijk aan de kassa.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Eten en Drinken
Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.

Neem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En, het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit. We zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.

De Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.

Workshopbeschrijving
The polska turn is quite a difficult beast to tame. This has left many dancers believing they can't dance polska at all. Some people might also find the dance it a bit boring once the basic turn is mastered. Yet the polska is much more than this famous turn, with various figures giving a wide range of possible movements and creativity. We will get into variations of different regions, notably springlek and Värmland figures, and even look at several Norwegian pols variants, even spying a few tricks from the various springar promenades and turns. The not-enough known yet great bakmes figure might be, if desired, the star of the show.

Note : We will NOT work on the polska turn in this workshop (but on everything else).


Niveau
You are a dancer with a solid experience of various folk dances, not necessarily Scandinavian, and no need for previous polska experience (but you'll learn new things even if you can dance the basic polska perfectly already).


Over de Docent
Emelie Waldken has fallen hard for Scandinavian folk music and dances upon discovery and nowadays calls Sweden home. Throughout the years, she has taught various Nordic dances accross Europe, from very well-known schottis and polska to obscure menuett and, of course, halling. She tends to fill her workshops with unexpected metaphors and will often grab her fiddle to provide live music to her exercises. For more information about Emelie Waldken, see https://www.facebook.com/emeliewaldken


Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.


Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).


Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)

details = """
Op 27 mei houden wij een bal in Utrecht.

Verwacht live muziek, dansen, een fijne ruimte om met elkaar uit te hangen en wat lekkers bij de bar. Heel leuk als je komt!

Over het bal
De avond wordt gestart met een workshop, fijn om er weer even in te komen (en het te leren!). Na een korte pauze start dan het bal. Het event heeft een dans-area waar het bal is en een chill area. Hier kun je met elkaar kletsen en je voeten even een adempauze gunnen .

Het bal start met live muziek van de band Berkenwerk. Een vrij nieuwe band met prachtige covers en eigen nummers. Ze nemen diverse instrumenten mee (harp, gitaar, ukelele en etouki).
Daarna volgt de live muziek van de vrolijke band Madlot. Madlot speelt verschillende liedjes en deuntjes en zet daarmee de traditie van volksmuzikanten voort. Van middeleeuwse ballads tot pakkende melodieën die tot ver in de 20e eeuw werden overgeleverd. Madlot kan je met hun muziek mee nemen!


Praktische informatie

Tijdstip
De inloop is om 18:30 en de workshop begint om 19:00.
Om 20:00 begint het bal, dit duurt tot 23:00. Daarna is er nog tijd om even te kletsen en wat te drinken.

Praktisch voor de avond
Er is een bar waar je drankjes en lekkers kunt krijgen op donatiebasis.
Er wordt geen alcohol geschonken.

Locatie
Op de Playground aan de Kanaalweg 84A in Utrecht. Dit ligt op 15 minuten lopen van Utrecht centraal. Je kan vanaf Utrecht centraal bus 7 nemen. Deze stopt vlak bij de deur.

Ook is er een gratis parkeerplaats naast de deur. Deze kan je via de link vinden.

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Partnering met Sophie van Grinsven
We hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.


Workshopbeschrijving
Balfolk dansen doe je niet alleen, maar samen! In een koppel, in een kleine groep of met een grote groep dansers. Je danspartner is een van de sleutelelementen in balfolk, vandaar dat het ook belangrijk is om te weten wat allemaal invloed heeft op je connectie met je danspartner. Zo kan je eigen lichaamsspanning kan invloed hebben op het leiden of geleid worden. De manier waarop je je voeten gebruikt, de verbinding met de vloer, heeft invloed op je balans en daarmee ook op je danspartner. Je gevoel bij de muziek, hoe goed je de maat hoort en hoe expressief je bent hebben ook allemaal invloed op hoe je leidt of geleid wordt.

In deze workshop gaan we op onderzoek uit en leren we op welke manier we leiden en volgen. We gaan aan de slag met welke elementen je kunt inzetten om betere connectie te maken met je danspartner en wat er voor nodig is om te volgen. We werken vanuit verschillende achtergronden (balfolk, balroom/latin en hedendaagse dans), om zo kennis te maken met een breed scala aan tools die onze partnering verbeteren.


Niveau
Dansers moeten kennis hebben van de mazurka, wals, scottish, cercle. Het is een \"Dansstage niveau 2b-3\" workshop.


Over de Docent
Sophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de wereld hedendaagse en improvisatie dansen. Ze heeft veel ervaring met niet alleen hedendaagse dans doceren, maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contactimprovisatie en mime. Ze zet haar uitgebreide achtergrond in om cursisten van alle leeftijden de vele wegen naar Rome te tonen. Met focus op zowel technische waarden als artistieke vrijheid en uitdrukken hoopt ze dansers op te leiden tot breed onderlegde artiesten met het gereedschap om hun eigen stijl te creëren in de dans. Sophie leidt verschillende (improvisatie) dans projecten en streeft ernaar om iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven zich te leren uitdrukken met hun eigen krachten.


Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.


Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).


Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname van één workshop per avond zijn:
Normaaltarief €23,-
Fair-Trade tarief €25,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €19,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)

Wil jij een avondje lekker Balfolk dansen op live muziek? Dan mag je de derde editie van Vuurbal op zondag 5 juni niet missen!

Wat kun je verwachten
Op deze zomerse avond treden Achterband en Wouter Kuyper op in de tuin van Woongemeenschap De Vuurplaats. Er is een sessie achteraf. Voor het bal maken we een vuurtje. Je bent welkom om soep en stokbrood mee te eten.

De Bands

 \tAchterband: Achterband bestaat uit het duo Arthur van Bottenburg en Marieke Rensen. Arthur speelt al een aantal jaar op de trekzak en Marieke op de draailier.
 \tWouter Kuyper: Wouter Kuyper speelt doedelzak, fluit en trekharmonica en laat zich inspireren door Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse (balfolk-)muziek. Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak. Website: http://www.wouterkuyper.nl/

name = "Workshop Basis Bourree de Berry (2t)"
details = """
De Bourree. Een toffe dans waarbij je elkaar niet aanraakt en tegenover elkaar danst, de structuur naar elkaar en terug en dan oversteken zullen de meesten van jullie wel kennen. Maar de groove die in de pas zit, die is wat moeilijker om zo op een bal op te pikken. Voor mij is de bourree een heel geaarde dans, die door het voetenwerk heel speels wordt. En vervolgens is er heel veel ruimte voor spelen en improviseren. Er is niet echt 1 leider en 1 volger, je kan allebei inititatief nemen, en je reageert allebei op elkaar. Dat maakt het heel erg samen, op een heel andere manier dan de meeste koppeldansen die we kennen uit balfolk.

Mijn dansleerlingen uit Nijmegen wilden graag de bourree leren voor de zomer, maar die behandel ik liever uitgebreid in de vervolgcursus (die na de zomer weer begint). Dus heb ik een moment gevonden om een losse bourree workshop te geven. En daarin zijn ook een paar plekjes voor dansers die geen wekelijkse lessen bij me volgen. De workshop is heel geschikt voor mensen die nog geen ervaring hebben met de bourree, maar juist ook de mensen die al langer de bourree op bals of festivals dansen, maar die ‘m niet eerder echt geleerd hebben, zullen veel van deze workshop op kunnen steken,

In de workshop gaan we vooral aan de slag met de basispas, om die lekkere groove erin te krijgen. En vervolgens gaan we ook kijken hoe we kunnen spelen met z’n tweeën, en mogelijk ook een beetje met z’n 4-en.

Tijd: Maandat 6 juni van 19:00 tot 22:00
Locatie: De Kleine Wiel, Karl Marxstraat 101, Nijmegen-Lent
Kosten: 30 euro normaal tarief, 25 euro kortingstarief

name = "Socialles 233 — Tovercirkels en hun variaties"
details = """
Deze donderdag 9 juni is het socialles 233. Het thema deze week is Tovercirkels en hun ontelbare variaties. Hoewel deze dans vaak beschouwd wordt als 'basisdans' is ook hier heel veel mogelijk qua variaties, connecties en samen dansen in de groep. We gaan gezamenlijk aan de slag met deze dans onder begeleiding van René.

Programma
18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 cd-muziek. 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Locatie
We zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 en drinken 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.

Dansen en corona
De coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet."""

name = "Socialles 234 — Tillen en lifts"
details = """
Deze donderdag 16 juni is het socialles 234. We gaan deze week aan het werk met tillen en lifts in dans, zoals bijvoorbeeld in de polka. Daarnaast - aangezien een uur lang tillen best een uitdaging kan zijn - komen ook twee dansen aan bod: de tarantella en de miserlou.
We gaan gezamenlijk aan de slag met deze dans onder begeleiding van Wim en Leora.

Programma
18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Locatie
We zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 en drinken 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.

Dansen en corona
De coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet."""

Social dance in Mezrab

De maandelijkse balfolk avond in Amsterdam in de Mezrab, een kroeg gerund door leuke mensen nodigt balfolk uit om muziek te maken en te dansen :-).
Een dansuitleg en daarna speelt een fijne band. Sessie na. Komen jullie ook?

De entree is slechts 13,- euro voor een hele avond plezier! Dansuitleg om 19:30. Bal vanaf 20:30. Reserveren is niet noodzakelijk en kan  op de site van Balfolk Amsterdam als je zeker wilt zijn van toegang.

Er wordt lekkere Iraanse soep geserveerd, voor 6 euro krijg je ook een bordje (de rode linzensoep is vegan). Dus als je direct uit je werk komt, kan je het frietje op 't station overslaan :-)

Parasol
…ein liebgewonnener Name in der Bal Folk Szene mit immer wieder gern gehörten leisen und verträumten Melodien, die uns über die Tanzfläche fliegen lassen. Ihr Spiel mit den Tänzer*innen und die Freude an der Improvisation, machen jeden Auftritt  einzigartig.
Sie bringen traditionelle Melodien aus der Auvergne nebst feder-leichten Eigenkompositionen auf die Bühne und verwandeln jeden Ball in einen warmen Sommertag unter einem bunten Sonnenschirm (Parasol).

details = """
Als je samen danst dan ben je een dialoog aan het voeren met je lichaam. Maar in een dialoog is het altijd een kwestie van zowel luisteren als praten. In deze workshop gaan we kijken of we wel echt aan het luisteren zijn naar elkaar. Met behulp van een aantal oefeningen gaan we kijken hoeveel we echt luisteren. Graag verzoeken we mensen om indien mogelijk een mobiele telefoon mee te nemen met camera functionaliteit we gaan namelijk ook wat dingen filmen (al deze opnames zullen aan het eind van de workshop worden verwijderd tenzij alle betrokken partijen het er mee eens zijn dat deze bewaard mogen worden). We verwachten ook dat deelnemers minimaal een scottish kunnen dansen (hiermee bedoelen we dat je niet meer hoeft na te denken over de stappen van de dans zelf terwijl je de dans doet) als zowel een leider als volger.

Balfolk Utrecht presenteert
Dansbeleving met Sophie van Grinsven
We hebben informatie onderaan op onze lespagina toegevoegd over inloggen en hoe dit systeem werkt, zie hier. Stuur ons gerust een email, als het je niet lukt met inloggen.


Workshopbeschrijving
\"Die ene wals van die ene band met die ene danser; dat was echt geweldig!!\", dansbeleving is de ervaring die we hebben tijdens het dansen in een zo breed mogelijke zin. Hoe je de muziek ervaart, welke verbinding je met je danspartner hebt, de flow van de dans zelf en hoe alles samenkomt, dit bepaald wat je dansbeleving is. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als we daar invloed op konden uitoefenen? Nou, dat kunnen we dus, en in deze workshop reik ik je de tools aan om ieder dansje tot een feestje te maken!

We gaan aan de slag met muziekinterpretatie, het aanvoelen van muziek en hoe je daar mee omgaat. We gaan ook werken met de karakteristieken van de verschillende (basis) balfolk dansen, wat maakt de wals een wals, waarom is een polka anders terwijl het ook 3 passen zijn? Ook gaan onderzoeken welke elementen voor jou als danser het meeste invloed hebben op je dansbeleving, is dat de muziek? Je danspartner? De ruimte? Je eigen mentale ruimte? Iets anders?


Niveau
Dansers moeten in ieder geval de mazurka, wals, scottisch en polka beheersen. Beheersing van de onregelmatige wals is sterk aanbevolen. Het is een “Dansstage niveau 3-4” workshop.


Over de Docent
Sophie van Grinsven werkt als docent en choreograaf binnen de wereld hedendaagse en improvisatie dansen. Ze heeft veel ervaring met niet alleen hedendaagse dans doceren, maar ook klassiek ballet, ballroom, contactimprovisatie en mime. Ze zet haar uitgebreide achtergrond in om cursisten van alle leeftijden de vele wegen naar Rome te tonen. Met focus op zowel technische waarden als artistieke vrijheid en uitdrukken hoopt ze dansers op te leiden tot breed onderlegde artiesten met het gereedschap om hun eigen stijl te creëren in de dans. Sophie leidt verschillende (improvisatie) dans projecten en streeft ernaar om iedereen een eerlijke kans te geven zich te leren uitdrukken met hun eigen krachten.


Lestijden
Elke workshop is 2.5 uur lang. Het programma:
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.


Locatie & Deurbeleid
De lessen en workshops vinden plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.

De deur van de Moira-zaal mag niet zonder toezicht open blijven staan. Tussen 19:00 en 19:15 staat er dus iemand van de organisatie bij de deur om iedereen binnen te laten. Daarna gaat de deur dicht.

Ben je onverhoopt te laat? Gebruik het 06-nummer bellen dat op de deur hangt (geef ons wel eerst even de tijd om de trap op te lopen ).


Prijzen en Aanmelden
De kosten voor deelname aan deze minireeks is:
Normaaltarief €46,-
Fair-Trade tarief €50,- (Als je de eerlijke prijs wil betalen)
Kortingstarief €38,- (Als je weinig te besteden hebt).

Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Balfolk Utrecht Stempelkaart
Dit seizoen introduceren we de Balfolk Utrecht stempelkaart! Spaar het hele seizoen door stempels en lever je kaart aan het eind in voor korting. Hoe meer workshops je hebt gevolgd, hoe meer korting.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze workshops komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze workshops en danslessen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen.

(Mocht je benieuwd zijn naar richtlijnen die meer voor de bals (sociale dansavonden) bedoeld zijn, die kun je hier vinden. Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.)

name = "Socialles 235 — Bourée auvergnate"
details = """
Deze donderdag 23 juni is socialles 235 in Rotterdam. De docent deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de Bourrée Auvergnate (de 'bourrée in drie'), verder op de basis en eventueel een vervolg.

Programma
18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Locatie
We zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 en drinken 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.

Dansen en corona
De coronamaatregelen zijn geheel losgelaten: er is geen 1,5 meter of mondkapje meer verplicht. Uiteraard staat het je vrij om zelf wel 1,5 meter afstand te houden en een mondkapje te dragen als je dat liever wel doet."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 30 juni is socialles 236. Docent deze week is Rick. Deze week gaan we aan de slag met onder andere de rondeau en chaîne, kost-ar-choad, plinn en nog meer andere snelle-pasjes-dansjes.

Programma
Het programma:
18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 woensdagavond. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Locatie
We zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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."""

Jolieke's Bal met Wim te Groen en Hilde van Belle, Ter gelegenheid van mijn 25ste verjaardag organiseer ik mijn eerste bal. Het zal plaatsvinden in “wereldstad” Geleen, in een zaal met (pas opgeschuurde) houten vloer 😊 De muziek wordt verzorgd door Hilde van Belle en Wim te Groen. Beide zowel solo als in duo zullen spelen.

De locatie ligt op 15 minuten lopen vanaf station Geleen-Lutterade. Er gaat ook een bus vanaf station Sittard die je voor de deur afzet; bus 38 halte Bloemenmarkt. Kom je met de auto? Dan is er schuin tegenover ’t Volkshoes een grote parkeerplaats waar je kunt parkeren.

Tijdens het bal zullen we rondgaan met de hoed voor een vrije bijdrage, onze suggestie is 15 euro. Je bijdrage gaat rechtstreeks naar de muzikanten.

Reserveren wordt op prijs gesteld en kan via deze pagina.

Balfolk Utrecht presents
Bal with Geronimo, Viorel en Snaarmaarwaar
Our previous ball sold out quite early. You can book via Google Forms: https://forms.gle/16qNSmuvB6KHAozC7.

Do you remember the good old days when there were balls in the Moira? Where we did cozy dances to good music with nice people. We have good news! We are back after a number of long years with two balls this fall and with no less than 3 great bands! And, if you've never danced at the Moira, now is the perfect time to build great memories.

There is a workshop before the ball, the teacher and subject we will announce later.


Programm
12:00 – Workshop
15:00 – End of Workshop
15:30 – Walk-in for the ball
16:00 – Geronim0
17:30 – Potluck
18:45 – Viorel
20:15 – Short break
20:30 – Snaarmaarwaar
22:00 – End of the ball and Session.


Bands
We have no less than three following bands for you at this ball:

Geronimo .

Viorel .

Snaarmaarwaar . You can read more about them by clicking on their names, or you can listen to them below. Special thanks to Frisse Folk for the recording.
https://youtu.be/DDWK6zvgF0s


Location
The ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall.


Reservation, Prices and Conditions
You reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see Google Forms: https://forms.gle/16qNSmuvB6KHAozC7.

NB! You pay cash  at the door which rate you want to pay. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you want to pay more than the fair-trade to sponsor the artists and us, all help is welcome. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)


Food and Drinks
There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.

Bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.

The Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.


Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
In principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines."""

name = "Socialles 237 — Ceilidh"
details = """
Deze donderdag 7 juli is het socialles 237. Deze laatste socialles in het seizoen draait het om samen dansen en plezier maken. Deze keer met net even iets andere dansen dan we gewend zijn: we maken een uitstapje naar de Ceilidh-dansen uit voornamelijk Schotland, onder begeleiding van René. 

Let op: dit is de laatste socialles van het seizoen 2021-2022, er is hierna zomerstop tot begin september.

Programma

18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
22.00: 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 cd-muziek. 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 16.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee

Locatie
We zijn vanaf begin 2022 verhuisd naar een nieuwe locatie. Je kunt ons vanaf nu vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 en drinken 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."""

Susanne Greuter en Balfolk Amsterdam verzorgen een workshop balfolk (eigentijdse manier van volksdansen). Haak in! De dansen worden kort uitgelegd en met live-muziek begeleid door PFM.
Aansluitend op de dansinstructie speelt het trio PFM een set, waarop zeker niet stilgestaan hoeft te worden.

Sinds 2020 speelt PFM balfolk. De drie bèta’s Frans (natuurkunde), Maurits (lucht en ruimtevaart techniek) en Pieter (elektrotechniek) houden hun formules uiteraard geheim. Herkenbare ingrediënten zijn klarinet, viool, gitaar en trekzak. Met als resultaat een knallend en vonkend muzikaal bal.

Om 13:00 instructie door Balfolk Amsterdam

Om 14:00 speelt PFM! een lekkere set balfolk muziek."""

Emily & the Simons
Emily & the Simons sind ein anglo-belgisches Balfolk-Trio. Im Mittelpunkt ihrer Musik stehen Emilys Kompositionen, die sich von den Begegnungen im Leben und der Energie auf der Tanzfläche inspirieren lassen. Ihr Stil ist sehr ausdrucksstark,voller Improvisation, Leidenschaft, Zärtlichkeit und Verspieltheit. Mit einem breiten Repertoire, das von exquisiten, sinnlichen Mazurken bis zu fröhlichen, treibenden Bourrées reicht, regt ihre Musik die Fantasie an, bewegt die Füße und hebt den Geist.

details = """
Voetjes van de vloer op onze fijne stek in Rotterdam, tijdens het zomer-sessiebal in Cuartito Azul, waarbij we gezamenlijk het seizoen sociallessen af sluiten.

De band die voor ons komt spelen is een trio muzikanten, bestaand uit Geert, spelend op onder andere doedelzak, Gilbert op trekharmonica en Marieke op viool, een bijzondere gelegenheidsformatie speciaal voor dit sessiebal in het leven geroepen.

En, natuurlijk, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent is er ook weer ruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee!

Programma
17.00 - 18.00: Picknick
18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 - 20.30: Bal!
20.30 - 22.30: Sessie

We vinden het fijn als je even laat weten dat je komt, dus vergeet niet te reserveren.

Sessie
De sessie is vrij voor alle muzikanten om bij aan te sluiten, vergeet dus niet je muziekinstrument(en) mee te nemen. Uiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.

Picknick
De picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf geregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat wordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor kannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee naar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en bestek zijn niet per se nodig.

Prijs
De toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon. Dit kun je aan de deur cash bij ons betalen, pinnen is niet mogelijk."""

3e VUURBAL

Wil jij een avondje lekker Balfolk dansen op live muziek? Dan mag je de derde editie van Vuurbal op vrijdag 12 augustus niet missen!

WAT KUN JE VERWACHTEN
Op deze zomerse avond treden Achterband en Wouter Kuyper op in de tuin van Woongemeenschap De Vuurplaats. Er is een sessie achteraf. Voor het bal maken we een vuurtje.
18:00 Vuurtje
19:00 Optreden Achterband
20:00 Optreden Wouter Kuyper
21:30 Sessie

TOEGANG
Toegang is op basis van donatie. Onze suggestie is een donatie van 5 euro voor de huur van de bands. Wil je een donatie doen? Dat kan ter plekke bij het bal.
Er is plek voor zo'n 40 dansers.
Aanmelden kan door een mail te sturen naar Marieke (zie hierboven bij Contact). Je krijgt dan een bevestiging of er nog plek is.

DE BANDS
- Achterband: Achterband bestaat uit het duo Arthur van Bottenburg en Marieke Rensen. Arthur speelt al een aantal jaar op de trekzak en Marieke op de draailier.
- Wouter Kuyper: Wouter Kuyper speelt doedelzak, fluit en trekharmonica en laat zich inspireren door Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse (balfolk-)muziek. Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak. Website: www.wouterkuyper.nl

Voetjes van de vloer op onze fijne stek in Rotterdam, tijdens de seizoensopening voor Balfolk Zuid-Holland in Cuartito Azul, waarbij we gezamenlijk het seizoen openen.

PFM!
De band die voor ons komt spelen is PFM! Trio PFM! is een Nederlandse balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan. Naast vragen over de Space Shuttle, Stoppenkasten en de Wet van Archimedes kun je bij hen terecht voor onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle's, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's en een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven. Hun formule bestaat uit voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. De band bestaat uit: Maurits van Heijningen: lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek en viool Pieter Tijssen: elektrotechniek, gitaar en diatonische accordeon Frans Stuurman: natuurkunde en klarinet.

Programma
17.00 – 18.00: Picknick
18.00 – 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 – 20.30: Bal!
20.30 – 22.30: Sessie

Sessie
Ook deze keer is er, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent in Rotterdam, weer genoeg ruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee! Uiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.

Picknick
De picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf geregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat wordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor kannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee naar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en bestek zijn niet per se nodig.

Prijs
De toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon. Dit kun je aan de deur cash bij ons betalen, pinnen is niet mogelijk.

Reserveren
We vinden het fijn als je even laat weten dat je komt, dus vergeet niet te reserveren."""

Balfolk workshop: Beweging & Variatie, Deze workshop is geschikt voor mensen die comfortabel de Hanterdro, Scottish, Jig, Mazurka en Tovercirkel kunnen leiden of volgen.

Wat gaan we leren?
Heb je een aantal bals bezocht, maar heb je het gevoel dat er meer is? Je ziet een aantal toffe bewegingen bij een ander koppel en je denkt: dat wil ik ook kunnen! Of heb je het gevoel dat je nergens ruimte hebt, en weet je niet hoe je daarmee om kunt gaan?

Dan is deze workshop iets voor jou! Je leert aan de hand van voorbeelden variaties te dansen. We focussen hierin op: wat is er mogelijk, wat kun je allemaal bedenken, wat werkt juist niet en hoe zorg je voor goede uitvoer van variaties?

Ook gaan we dieper in op de ruimte op de dansvloer. Soms is ruimte er in overvloed, en soms is het flink volgepropt. Hoe kun je ervoor zorgen dat je toch de ruimte hebt, en daar wat mee kunt doen?

Wie geeft het?
Paul de Man is een enthousiast danser. Hij verdiept zich al jaren in zowel stijldansen als balfolk. Hij heeft meerdere initiaties gegeven en valt vaak op door zijn variaties die van verschillende dansstijlen komen. Al deze ervaring laat hij samenkomen tot een leuke en fijne dans.

details = """
Op 6 september is er een proefles voor de nieuwe lessenreeks van Balfolk Express. Er wordt lesgegeven in twee groepen.

Je kan je hier aanmelden.

Bij Balfolk is het wisselen tussen danspartners gebruikelijk. Daarom hoef je je niet aan te melden met een danspartner.





Groep 1: Getting into Balfolk

In deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.

Deze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.















Groep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey

In deze groep gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.

Het doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.

Voor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.

Data

Van 6 september tot en met 31 januari is er wekelijks les op dinsdagavond, met uitzondering van de vakanties.





Zaal open: 19.00
Groep 1: 19.15 – 20.30
Groep 2: 20.45 – 22.00

Kosten

Voor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.

De kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €195,- voor 18 lessen. Wil je beide groepen volgen? Neem contact op om te kijken of dit bij je past. Korting voor het volgen van beide groepen is in overleg mogelijk.


Bereikbaarheid

Onze locatie is bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer en de auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein van de sporthal.


Corona

Mocht corona een opleving krijgen, houden wij ons aan de overheidsmaatregelen en het protocol van Dansondernemers Nederland. Bij annulering vanwege de maatregelen krijg je het lesgeld naar ratio teruggestort.

Joepie, eindelijk zal er weer gedanst worden in de Junushoff! Wij (Aljosha & Renske) verheugen ons als nooit tevoren om jullie weer te zien.

Erik en Samuel Thézé speelden op het allereerste bal dat wij organiseerden – waaay back in 2016! Ter ere van ons 5-jarige lustrum wilden wij hen vorig jaar al in de Junushoff verwelkomen, en nu gaan we voor de 6-jaar jubileum-herkansing.

Eric (bandoneon & piano) en Samuel (klarinetten) staan gelukkig nog te popelen om voor jullie op te treden, en ditmaal nemen ze hun vrienden mee. Samen met Xavier Margogne (gitaar) en Stéphane Cozic (contrabas) komen zij hun nieuwe repertoire presenteren – en wij zijn de eersten die daarvan mogen genieten!

Ben je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg!

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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

Voorlopige planning:

15:00 Dansinitiatie
16:00 Bal
18:00 Potluck diner
19:00 Bal
21:00 Einde

We hopen gauw met jullie te dansen!"""

Lesreeks september: Fundamenten van (Franse) Folk
In deze reeks neemt Robin jullie mee in wat ze in Zweden geleerd heeft over de folkdansen daar, en leer je om deze basistechnieken toe te passen op een paar Franse (bal)folkdansen. We beginnen vanuit de kleinste elementen van folk (ritme, lichaamshouding, muziek) en kijken op deze manier met een nieuw perspectief naar bekende dansen.

De reeks is toegankelijk voor mensen die al wat balfolk-ervaring hebben en bereid zijn met een scherpe blik naar hun eigen dans te kijken. De lesreeks wordt aangepast op het niveau van de dansers, dus bij elke aanmelding vragen we je om iets te vertellen over je ervaring. Je moet in ieder geval de volgende dansen kunnen doen zonder over de passen na te denken:

 \tScottish
 \tWals
 \tJig/Chapelloise
 \tTovercirkel/Cercle Circassien
 \tAn Dro
 \tOptioneel: Polka en Mazurka

Als je al veel andere danservaring hebt en dansen snel oppikt kun je contact opnemen met Robin via balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.

Hoe ziet de lesreeks eruit?
In de lessen gaan we praktisch aan de slag met lichaamshouding en -bewustzijn en muzikaliteit. Na de eerste les bouwen we op door onze bewegingshorizon te verbreden: van in je eentje bewegen, naar bewegen met de groep, naar bewegen in een half gesloten koppeldanshouding. We herhalen de basis van een deel van het vaste dansrepertoir met een nieuwe kijk op de passen en beweging.

Het tempo zal vrij hoog liggen, en tussen de lessen door vraag ik je ook om een paar uur te besteden aan het luisteren en analyseren van muziek, het oefenen van lichaamsbewustzijn, en af en toe geef ik ook wat leeswerk mee. Dit laatste zal vooral in het Engels zijn, maar hierbij kun je elkaar helpen of mij een berichtje sturen. Houd rekening met deze tijdsinvestering als je je inschrijft! Als je twijfelt over deelname kun je me altijd mailen.

Over de docenten
Robin van den Brule danst al meer dan tien jaar balfolk en dook daarbij steeds dieper in de Franse dansen en muziek. Daarnaast volgde ze een semester full time danslessen bij de folkdansopleiding van het Eric Sahlströminstitut in Zweden. Hier ontdekte ze de fundamenten van Zweedse dans en muziek, die daarna haar eigen dansstijl en overtuigingen sterk beïnvloedden. Voor Robin komt de muziek op plek één; hieruit komt de impuls tot beweging en daarmee ook de dansstijl en mogelijke variaties. Ze heeft een liefde voor stevige traditionele muziek met veel verticaliteit, maar zoekt daarbij ook altijd naar connectie en speelsheid.

Ter ondersteuning helpt Maya van der Loos bij de danslessen. Haar opleiding in oefentherapie komt goed van pas bij het reflecteren op houding en gezond bewegen.

Inschrijven: Praktisch
Ik vraag iedereen die mee wil doen om een kort stukje over zichzelf en hun danservaring te schrijven om een beter idee te krijgen van de groep. De groep is beperkt tot 14 deelnemers. Als je niet alle data kunt, of ergens over twijfelt, geef dit dan ook aan. Inschrijving geeft niet meteen toegang tot de cursus (mocht de groep niet passen komt er een tweede reeks in december). Je krijgt binnen een week na verzending van je inschrijfformulier reactie.

Prijzen:
Basistarief: 110 euro
Fair trade: 130 euro
Kortingstarief: 90 euro

Data:
Elke maandag van 12 September tot en met 3 Oktober
19.15-21.45 @ Moira Zaal, Utrecht (Wolvenplein 10, blauwe deur).

De lessen zijn wat prijziger dan gemiddelde danslessen. Hiervoor krijg je wel extra oefeningen, muziekplaylists, en achtergrondinformatie. Als je heel graag mee wil doen maar dit financieel lastig is, mail dan naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com of robinelisacarine@gmail.com (alleen als privé erg belangrijk is).

Loogaroo

Loogaroo is a balfolk duo with Pablo Golder (diatonic accordion) and Florian De Schepper (acoustic guitar). After being on the road together for more than 6 years with different projects, Pablo & Florian recently started playing in a duo and decided to continue this new band which they named “Loogaroo”. Not to be confused with “loup-garou”. “loogaroo” is a Carribean mythological creature that turns herself into a bright ball of light to haunt the night. No wolf howling music but powerful and surprising melodies by Pablo, accompanied with Florians groovy and pumping rhythms that will keep you dancing all night long, even underneath a full moon.\" https://www.facebook.com/pg/loogaroofolk/

BAL-À-DEUX
Bal Folk – Musik aus Frankreich und aller Welt.
Wir spielen Lieder: mit Groove und Herz, kraftvoll oder verträumt, mit zwei Stimmen, Gitarre und Kontrabass. Lieder, die gute Laune machen, Lieder, die unter die Haut gehen, Lieder aus verschiedenen Ländern und in vielen Sprachen. Lieder mit Ausstrahlung und Überraschungen, zu denen es sich auch immer wunderbar tanzen lässt.
Louis Lasserre: Gitarre, Gesang
Nils Würfel: Kontrabass, Gesang

Javallon
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.
Mal dominiert dabei die durchdringende, treibende Drehleier, mal beflügelt das variationsreiche Zwiegespräch zwischen Geige und Akkordeon die Tänzer, und wer noch immer zögert, den lockt eine klare Stimme zum An Dro.
Jeannette Klein Drehleier, Stimme

Tref
West-Europese rootsmuziek met een hoek af
Dat accordeonmuziek meer is dan oubollige muziek in zweterige cafés, dat weten we al lang. Wie nog steeds twijfelt, heeft Tref nog nooit live aan het werk gezien. Tref is Vlaanderen en Wallonië verenigd, zoals het hoort, met Wim Claeys en Didier Laloy, twee ervaren trekzakspelers op hun diatonische accordeon. Voor Tref vormen ze een kwartet met hun oude leraar, Bruno Le Tron en de Franse Frédéric Malempré op worldpercussion.

Samen gaan ze op het ritme van traditionele West-Europese folk langs een waaier aan moderne muziekgenres. Rock, jazz en zelfs klassiek komen in hun zelf gecomponeerde nummers aan bod. Het resultaat is een unieke mix van meeslepende etnische grooves, gebracht met veel ziel en goesting.

 
Les Zéoles
Een duo met minutieuze en piepkleine melodietjes...
Les Zéoles is een duo gevormd door Amélie Denarié op de diatonische accordeon en Anne Guinot  op de chromatische accordeon.

De twee muzikanten ontmoetten elkaar in 2002 in Montpellier en richtten Guilis ô Vent op, een kwintet van neo-traditionele muziek, waarvan ze het repertoire samen componeerden. De wens om samen te spelen en hun muzikale samenwerking verder te brengen bracht ze naar het duo in 2008. Bitterzoete composities, speelse en lyrische melodieën met arrangementen geïnspireerd op traditionele Franse en Europese muziek, maar ook klassiek. Het bal staat altijd centraal in hun werk, maar door hun respectievelijke opleiding tot klassiek pianist bieden ze ook een concertformule, altijd met dezelfde liefde voor onderzoek, van de juiste toon, degene die vlinders in de buik geeft en die we houden het warm als we het eenmaal hebben gevonden.

 
PFM!
De formule waar muziek in zit!
Maurits van Heijningen: lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek en viool
Pieter Tijssen: elektrotechniek, gitaar en diatonische accordeon
Frans Stuurman: natuurkunde en klarinet

Trio PFM is een balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 is ontstaan. Naast vragen over de Space Shuttle, Stoppenkasten en de Wet van Archimedes kun je bij hun terecht voor o.a. rechttoe-rechtaan cercle's, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's en een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven. Onze formule bestaat uit voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Geheime ingredienten uit de hele wereld. Boek ons!"""

In september 2022 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.

Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?
Lesdata
Deze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.

Reguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 28 september t/m 30 november. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 7 december.
Tijdstippen
18.45 Deur open
19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)
19:45 Tussenprogramma, gezamenlijk voor Groep 1 en Groep 2
20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)
21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)

Docenten
De lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.
Opgeven en kosten:
De proefles kost € 5,- je mag voor dit bedrag de hele avond aanwezig zijn en met alle groepen meedoen. Je kan hier alvast reserveren, maar als je op het allerlaatst besluit betaal je gewoon aan de deur. Kom!
Na de proefles kan je je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op bafolkamsterdam.nl
Ga je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.

Kleding
Kleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons."""

Met veel plezier wordt je uitgenodigd voor Skeer!
Een warm, portemonneevriendelijk, co-creatief internationaal (folk) muziek- en dansweekend.
Een weekend vol opzwepende muziek, zwierende dansjes, tedere dwaasheid, verbinding en plezier.
Voor wie? Voor iedereen die zin heeft plezier te maken met muziek en dans. Balfolkies en niet-balfolkies. Ervaren of onervaren.

Het is een evenement voor en door alle deelnemers.
Heb je zin een uitleg te krijgen? Die kan worden gegeven.
Heb je zin een uitleg te geven? Geef dat dan aan in het opgaveformulier.



Co-creativiteit
Skeer is een (folks) muziek- en dansweekend. Een weekend om samen lekker te dansen, muziek te maken en er een gezellige tijd van te maken. Samen zorgen we voor muziek, workshops, eten en schoonmaken. Overdag leren we elkaar de tips en tricks van toffe dansjes, muziek, liedjes en..., en 's avonds dansen en jammen we tot we er bij neervallen.
Workshops
Voel je vrij om ons de basis van bijvoorbeeld capoeira, polyritme of tango te leren. Laat je innerlijke tradpolitie los en leer ons hoe je die Gavotte des Montange of de Bourrée Auvergnate echt hoort te dansen (of geef een introductie in de basis). Doe eens gek en zing met iemand anders dan je stuk zeep onder de douche en doe mee aan een workshop over zangharmonieën en canons. En voel je vooral niet verplicht om een workshop te geven!
Wij hebben er enorm zin in!
Op de website van Skeer vind je meer informatie en een link om je aan te melden."""

In september 2022 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.

Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?
Lesdata
Deze serie bestaat uit een proefles op 21 september, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.

Reguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 28 september t/m 30 november. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 7 december.
Tijdstippen
18.45 Deur open
19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)
19:45 Tussenprogramma, gezamenlijk voor Groep 1 en Groep 2
20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)
21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)

Docenten
De lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.
Opgeven en kosten:
Je kunt je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op bafolkamsterdam.nl
Ga je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.

Kleding
Kleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons."""

details = """
Op zaterdag 1 oktober gaan de voetjes van de vloer met een bal in Rotterdam in het Maaspodium. Een internationaal bal deze keer met topmuzikant Jeroen Laureyssens uit België en een bijzonder trio uit Zweden. Ook deze keer weer een dansworkshop vooraf, gericht op onder andere de Slängpolska en diverse andere Zweedse dansen. Kijk hier voor alle informatie over de workshop.

Jeroen Laureyssens is een multi-getalenteerde Belgische diatonische accordeon speler. Hij speelde al op zesjarige leeftijd muziek en komt uit een muzikale familie. Musiceren, bijzondere composities maken en improvisatie zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van zijn muzikale leven. Hij speelt onder andere in Les Frères d’Eeckère, Duo Brabants-Laureyssens, Cosmo en The Quest.

Het Trio Västanvinden (ook wel ‘De Westenwind) speelt groovy trad muziek uit Zweden en andere Noordse landen. De ongebruikelijke mix van instrumenten, namelijk harmonica, klarinet en citer, geeft het trio een uniek, eigen geluid en doet een frisse wind waaien door de traditionele tunes. De sterke connectie tussen traditionele muzike en dans is fundamenteel voor de muzikale benadering van het trio en ze spelen daarom graag live voor dansers. De groep is opgericht aan het Royal College of Music in Stokcholm, waar de leden alledrie hebben gestudeerd. Hun debuutalbum is in oktober 2021 gepresenteerd. 

Dansworkshop
Voorafgaand aan het bal zal er ook een dansworkshop zijn, gegeven door Västanvinden zelf. De informatie over deze workshop vind je hier.


Het programma voor het bal
17.00: Picknick
18.00: Dansuitleg
19.00: Bal!
23.00: Einde

Dansuitleg
De dansuitleg is bedoeld om weer even in te komen voor als je al een poosje niet gedanst hebt, of als je de eerste pasjes alvast onder de knie wil krijgen. Iedereen is uiteraard welkom om mee te dansen.

Picknick
Er staat ook een picknick gepland. Breng daarvoor voor jezelf (en één of twee anderen) wat lekkers te eten mee, wat op één grote tafel wordt verzameld, zodat we met z’n allen een heerlijke maaltijd zullen hebben. Het is handig om eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen, dat is niet aanwezig op de locatie zelf.

Locatie
Het is de tweede keer dat we een bal geven in het Maaspodium in Rotterdam. Deze locatie vind je aan de Sint-Jobsweg 3 in Rotterdam. Er is een mooie danszaal en een gezellige bar en foyer waar behalve dansen ook wat bijgekomen en gekletst kan worden. Metrostation Coolhaven is op een kleine 10-15 minuten lopen afstand, er stopt ook een tram vlakbij. Op zondag is voor zover bekend straatparkeren gratis. Er is ook een parkeergarage vlakbij. Gebruik je eigen favoriete routeplanner om je route te bepalen. Meer informatie is te vinden op de website van het Maaspodium. 

Toegang
Tickets kosten voor dit bal 25 euro per persoon. Reserveren is fijn, zowel voor jezelf als voor ons, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het gaat worden."""

Balfolk Utrecht - Bal met 'Broes' en 'Duo de Schepper Sanczuk', 

** English below ** 



Je kunt reserveren via Google Forms, zie hier.
We trappen dit seizoen af met warme zuiderse en mysterieuze oosterse vibes! Niemand minder dan Duo de Schepper-Sanczuk en het quintet Broes komen om ons mee te nemen op reis langs de Middelandse Zee van Portugal helemaal naar de Balkan.

Er is een workshop voor het bal, die we nog gaan aankondigen. Het is mogelijk om via de Google Forms achteraf aan te melden voor de workshop onder hetzelfde emailadres, zelfs nadat je voor het bal hebt aangemeld.


Programma
12:00 – Workshop
15:00 – Einde Workshop
15:30 – Inloop voor het bal
16:00 – Broes
18:00 – Potluck
19:00 – Duo de Schepper Sanczuk
21:30 – Eind bal en Sessie tijdens het opruimen


Bands
Je kunt hieronder naar de bands luisteren. Met dank aan Frisse Folk voor de opname van Broes.

Reserveren, Prijzen en Voorwaarden
Je reserveert een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.

Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Eten en Drinken
We hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.

Neem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En, het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit. We zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.

De Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.
Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.


Locatie
Het bal vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.







You can book via Google Forms, see here.
We kick off the season with warme southern and mysterious eastern vibes! No less than Duo de Schepper-Sanczuk and the quintet Broes will take us on a journey along the Mediterranean Sea from Portugal all the way to the Balkan.

There is a workshop, which we will be announcing later. It is possible to reserve a spot for the workshop afterwards via the Google Forms under the same email address, even after you have reserved for the ball.

Reservation, Prices and Conditions
You reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.

NB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)


Food and Drinks
We have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.

Bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.

The Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.


Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
In principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines.


Location
The ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall."""

(English below)
Geen sessie na het bal, maar een heus sessiebal! Alle muzikanten zijn zeer welkom om hier lekker samen te spelen en eventueel eigen deunen op danspubliek uit te proberen. Natuurlijk zijn ook de dansers zeer welkom om op de muziek te komen dansen. Een avond voor en door de community!

De bar zal niet open zijn, dus neem zelf een drankje en hapje mee voor jezelf of om te delen.

 
Prijzen:
Muzikant: Gratis, maar we verwachten dat je wel minstens 2 deunen echt meespeelt.

Danser: €8

 
Voor de muzikanten:
Afhankelijk van het aantal aanmeldingen, mogen de muzikanten voorlopig per persoon één deun voorstellen. Je kunt op de avond zelf komen aanwaaien, maar je mag je ook van tevoren alvast aanmelden bij Balfolk Utrecht (utrecht [at] balfolk.nl) of bij Lucas. Je krijg dan toegang tot een Google-drive map met het overzicht van de aangemelde deunen met eventuele opnames en/of bladmuziek. Je kunt hierlangs dan ook jouw voorkeursdeun aanmelden met eventuele opnames en/of bladmuziek zodat andere muzikanten alvast kunnen oefenen om met je mee te spelen.

 
(English)
Not a session after the ball but a session ball! All musicians are most welcome to enjoy playing here together and possibly try their own tunes on a dancing audience. Of course the dancers are also very welcome to dance to the music. An evening for and by the community!

The bar won’t be open, so bring drinks and snacks for yourself or to share.

 
Prices:
Musicians: Free, but we do expect you to join in playing at least 2 tunes.

Dancers: €8

 
For the musicians:
Depending on the amount of registrations musicians can propose one tune for now. You can just show up on the evening, but you can also register upfront with Balfolk Utrecht (utrecht [at] balfolk.nl) or with Lucas. You will get access to a Google-drive folder containing an overview of the registered tunes with possible recordings and/or sheet music. You can also register your preferred tune with possible recordings and/or sheet music so the other musicians can already practice to play along with you."""

Waerde menschen! Zoals enkelen van jullie weten ben ik afgelopen mei jarig geweest maar was ik daar niet in de gelegenheid om het te vieren. Inmiddels heb ik in oktober die ruimte wel, en op precies te zijn op dinsdag de 11e!

De zaal is open vanaf 8 uur, en we beginnen om ongeveer half 9 met dansen. David Cornelissen en zijn compagnon komen de live muziek verzorgen, tot een uur of 10. Als je wil mag je voor daarna nog een eigen instrument meenemen voor een sessie. Deze duurt tot een uur of 11.

Zie ik je de 11e? Leuk!

Wochenend-Tanzworkshop von Elena Leibbrand (BE)
 
Französische Tänze aus der Gascogne: Branle d’Ossau und Rondeau
Samstag 15.10.2022              11:00 – 16:30 Uhr
Sonntag 16.10.2022               10:00 – 13:30 Uhr
Preis für den 2-Tages-Workshop: 31 € regulär / 20€ ermäßigt
 
In diesem Workshop beschäftigen wir uns mit zwei sehr beliebten Tänzen aus der Gascogne (Südwest-Frankreich):
Der Branle d’Osseau sieht zunächst aus wie ein extrem einfacher Kettentanz … bis man ihn ausprobiert. Wie viele von uns haben sich schon in den Tanz eingeklinkt und sind nach ein paar Takten ganz verstört wieder aus dem Tanz ausgestiegen!
In diesem Workshop werden wir diesen besonderen Tanz Schritt für Schritt lernen und auch die eine oder andere Variation entdecken. Aber hauptsächlich möchte Elena euch das ganz einzigartige Gefühl vermitteln, das aufkommt, wenn alle zu herzzerreißend schöner Musik in der Kette im Gleichschritt schwingen.
Zur Abwechslung und Auflockerung werden wir den Paar-Rondeau (Rondeau en couple) üben und dabei unseren Grundschritt, Körperhaltung und Stil ein bisschen „aufputzen“. Wir nehmen auch die richtige Bewegung aller Tanzenden im Raum, damit alle Tanzpaare in einem schönen „Flow“ bleiben und werden schließlich typische und schöne Variationen einbauen.
Tanzniveau: Der Kurs ist eher für Tänzer*innen mit Erfahrung geeignet, aber auch für sehr motivierte Anfänger*innen, die den Branle d’Ossau zum ersten Mal entdecken möchten. Der Vorteil an diesen Tänzen ist, dass jede*r seinem/ihrem eigenen Lernrhythmus folgen kann.
Zur Tanzmeisterin: Elena Leibbrand begann 2011 mit großer Begeisterung in Brüssel BalFolk-Tänze weiterzugeben. Im Mai 2018 gründete sie ihre eigene Tanzschule EléDanse und bietet seitdem Kurse, Workshops, Bälle und Veranstaltungen aller Art an. Sie hat eine große Liebe zu Bourrées, Walzern und Tänzen aus dem im Südwesten Frankreichs und sie liebt den Ball, ob Fin-de-Siècle, Folk oder Musette. Elena bringt mit viel Können und Humor den Tanzenden die traditionellen Tänze nahe und reißt alle mit."""

Bal O’Gadjo kombiniert die berauschende Musikflut aus dem Osten mit den warmen Klängen des Südens und bringt so jedes Publikum zum Tanzen. Seit 2005 arbeiten die 5 Musiker*Innen aus der Nähe von Montpellier in Frankreich gemeinsam und schaffen Begegnungen zwischen traditioneller Musik und Gesängen der Welt in ihren 6 Alben, die wiederum durch den Werdegang jedes einzelnen geprägt sind. Orientalische Gewürze, balkanisches Temperament, Malz und irischer Nebel laden ein zu einem, ganz nach dem Leitmotiv der Band: „Bal ohne Grenzen“.
Lucie Gibaux: Klarinette, Gesang
Lucile Magnan: Cello, Gesang
Fabien Bucher: Gitarre, Mandoline
Paul Oliver: Geige, Algerische Mondole
Samuel Wornom: Derbouka, Doholla, Cajon

Eintritt: 20 Euro, ermäßigt 10 Euro, Soliticket 30 Euro
Der Bal findet am Abend nach dem Workshopprogramm mit Elena Leibbrand in der Kulturmarkthalle statt. Es gibt keine Kombitickets, beide Veranstaltungen müssen einzeln gebucht werden.

Deze keer geen dansuitleg van te voren, we gaan dat tijdens het bal zelf doen wanneer dat gewenst is.
Entree: € 7,50 per persoon.
Madlot speelt ten dans. Daarnaast komen Andoorn en De Houtzagerij. Al met al toch minder dan een enkele Euro per muzikant en een hele middag dansplezier!"""

Duo „Budweis – Zeller“
Jan und Vivien – Foto: Bettina Wunderlich

Jan Budweis – Diatonisches Akkordeon ( https://janbudweis.de/ )
Vivien Zeller – Violine ( http://www.vivienzeller.de/ )

Jan Budweis — Den ersten Unterricht auf der Gitarre erhielt ich mit 14 Jahren. Mich faszinierte die Klangerzeugung auf Instrumenten aller Art schon als Kind. So erlernte ich das Spielen verschiedenster Instrumente, teils im Unterricht, teils autodidaktisch: Fagott, Viola da Gamba, Saxophon, Dudelsack, Drehleier. Ausserdem beschäftigte ich mich mit dem Bau von Musikinstrumenten und wurde später Klarinettenbauer. In den 1980er Jahren eröffnete sich mir durch den Volkstanz eine neue Welt. Dann entdeckte ich meine Liebe für das Diatonische Akkordeon, die bis heute anhält.
Vivien Zeller — Nach 13 Jahren klassischer Ausbildung habe ich mit 17 Jahren die traditionelle Tanzmusik entdeckt und habe dort gefunden was ich schon lange gesucht hatte. Verbundenheit von Musik, Tanz und Variation. Diesen alten wunderschönen Melodien Leben einzuhauchen, sie zum grooven zu bringen und die Verbindung zu den Tänzern zu spüren fasziniert mich nach wie vor.
In kurzer Zeit habe ich über schwedische, dänische und irische Folkmusik zur traditionellen Tanzmusik Deutschlands, besonders Norddeutschlands gefunden. Hier fühle ich mich am meisten zu Hause und immer wieder gehe ich auf Entdeckungsreise in die Archive, um neue handschriftliche Notenbüchern von Tanzmusikern des 17.- 20. Jahrhunderts im deutschsprachigen Raums zu finden.
Immer auf der Suche nach Inspiration und Perfektion, reise ich durch Europa, um auf Kursen, Konzerten und Sessions verschiedene traditionelle und neue Spieltechniken zu erlernen, die mein aktuelles Spiel befruchten und weiterentwickeln können.

(English below)
Nu er eindelijk weer Cadansa is, is er natuurlijk ook weer een Cadansa-after-afterparty! Dus mocht je nog in de Cadansa-sfeer zitten, of een middel tegen de post-Cadansa-blues zoeken, of gewoon zin hebben om op maandag avond lekker te dansen met een supertoffe Franse band, kom dan vooral langs in de Moira in Utrecht!
Er is ook ruimte voor sessie, dus neem vooral een instrument mee en mochten je voeten even een pauze nodig hebben, is de bar open voor een drankje!
Programma:
17:30 Deuren open voor diner*
19:00 Aurélien Claranbaux
~21:00 Sessie
~22:00 Einde zodat iedereen nog treinen terug naar de meeste andere (grote) steden kan pakken (en eventueel nog kan slapen voor dinsdag weer aan het werk te gaan ;) ).
*Als het je gezellig lijkt kun je bij ons aanschuiven om je diner te komen eten. Dit kan alles zijn van potluck om tot delen tot een eigen maaltje en/of iets laten bezorgen bij de Moira.
Tarieven:
Het bal kost €12 of meer. Als je minder te besteden hebt, kun je gebruik maken van het kortingstarief van €8. (Graag gepast mee te nemen.)
Fair trade: Bij dit bal krijgen de bands direct betaald wat er aan de deur wordt betaald. (Na aftrek van zaalhuur e.d.) Dat betekent dat je dus je waardering voor de muzikanten kunt laten blijken door wat meer te betalen zodat zij ook een wat eerlijker loon kunnen ontvangen. Mocht je het geld hebben, is het dus heel welkom om meer te betalen dan het standaardtarief van €12 in ruil voor dankbare blijere muzikanten.
Band:
Aurélien Claranbaux is één van de bekendste artiesten uit de balfolk. Zo speelt hij o.a. accordeon in ZEF, Duo Absynthe en FeO, maar ook solo staat hij zeker zijn mannetje met een kick en wat effecten voor wat extra power. Op het podium speelt hij een mix van traditionals, eigen composities (waarvan velen nu traditionals aan het worden zijn) en improvisatie. Hij haal zijn inspiratie uit een breed scala aan genres zoals traditionele Franse folk, jazz, rock, rap en wereldmuziek. Het ene moment laat hij je grooven en swingen op een traditionele melodie en het andere moment zweef je over de dansvloer tijdens een subtiele en intieme deun.
(English)
Finally there is Cadansa again and so of course there will be a grand Cadansa-after-afterparty again! So whether you are still in the Cadansa mood, trying to find a remedy against the post-Cadansa-blues, or just feel like dancing to the music of a super cool French on Monday evening, make sure you will get to the Moira in Utrecht!
There will also be some time for a session, so do bring your instruments and if your feet get tired and need a quick break, the bar is open for drinks!
Programme:
18:30 Doors open
19:00 Aurélien Claranbaux
~21:00 Session
~22:30 End which is on time to get a train back to most of the other (big) cities (and possibly sleep a little before going to work on Tuesday ;) ).
*If you would like some company for dinner,  feel free to join us with your own dinner. This can be anything from potluck to share to your meal and/or delivery meal at the Moira
Admission
Entrance fee for the ball is €12 or more. If you do not have so much to spend, use the lower fee of €8. (Please bring the exact amount.)
Fair tade: At this ball the bands get paid directly what is being paid at the entrance. (After deducing the locations rent.) That means you can show your appreciation to the musicians by paying some more to make sure they will also get a fair wage. So if you have the money, you are very welcome to pay more than the standard fee of €12 in exchange for grateful happier musicians.
Band:
Aurélien Claranbaux is one of the most known artists from the balfolk. He plays accordeon for instance in ZEF, Duo Absynthe and FeO, but also solo he puts down a great act with a kick and some effects for extra power. On stage he plays a mix of traditional, his own compositions (of which many are now becoming traditional) and improvisation. He takes his inspiration from a broad spectrum of centres such as traditional French folk, jazz, rock, rap and world music. The one moment he lets groove and swing to a traditional melody and the next moment you are floating over the dancing floor during a subtle and intimate tune.
Location:
The event takes place in the Moira. A location for regular balfolk events with a nice dancing floor, good sound, atmospheric lights and a \"gezellige\" bar in the heart of Utrecht at only 1km from the central station."""

details = """
Het inmiddels bijna traditionele Halloweenbal van Balfolk Zuid-Holland. Deze keer niet in Leiden, maar in Poortugaal, een plek vlak onder Rotterdam. Uiteraard is het bal volop in Halloweensfeer. Voor ons komen optreden: Hilde Van Belle uit België en het Nederlandse powertrio BmB.

Hilde Van Belle is pianiste en zangeres. Zij speelt heerlijk sfeervolle en fijne balfolkmuziek. Al van kleins af aan was ze te vinden in de plaatselijke muziekschool en na haar studies muziekpedagogie en klassieke zang is ze niet meer weg te denken in de muzikale wereld.

De Nederlandse powerfolkband BmB bestaat uit drie mannen: Luc Plompen op gitaar, Niek van Uden op accordeon en Wouter Kuyper op doedelzak, fluit en chalumeau. Extra speciaal: de drie heren zingen ook graag.

Programma
Het programma voor de avond:
17.30: Deuren open
18.00: Dansuitleg
19.00: Hilde Van Belle
20.30: Kostuumprijsuitreiking
21.00: BmB
23.00: Einde

Halloween

Extra speciaal deze avond: het bal is natuurlijk in Halloweenthema, dus De Brinkhoeve wordt omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle griezellocatie, met in plaats van bezoekers en dansers, heksen, feeën, spoken of zelfs vampieren! Zelf in een favoriete Halloweenoutfit komen wordt aanbevolen: organisator Balfolk Zuid-Holland zorgt voor mooie prijzen voor de origineelste en leukste kostuums. Toch liever niet verkleed? Geen probleem, het is niet verplicht en gezellig wordt het sowieso!

Locatie

Het bal is in De Brinkhoeve, in Poortugaal. Deze zaal is te vinden aan de Kerkstraat 12 in Poortugaal. De locatie is goed bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer, het is op zo'n 10 minuten lopen vanaf het metrostation Poortugaal. Parkeren is gratis in de wijk rondom de zaal.

Prijs
Toegang tot het bal is 25 euro. Dit kan alleen cash aan de deur worden betaald, er kan niet worden gepind. Er is een bar waar bier, wijn en frisdrank tegen schappelijke prijzen gedronken kan worden.

Reserveren

Reserveren voor het Halloweenbal wordt aangeraden, dan weten we hoe gezellig het ongeveer wordt.

Op 30 oktober zijn jullie meer dan welkom om in Wageningen te komen dansen op de mooie vloer in de foyer van de Junushoff. We presenteren twee *geweldige* groepen: Wouter en de Draak (NL) en Le Petit Piment (FR).

Wouter en de Draak is Joris Alblas (gitaar) en Wouter Kuyper (trekzak) en is sinds 2014 een vaste waarde in de Nederlandse folkscène. We zijn erg blij dat ze ons weer komen bewegen met hun originele tunes vol emotie, swing, en de robuuste energie die hun liefde voor Bretonse muziek brengt.

Petit Piment (Arnaud Bibonne, Lucas Thebaut, Léo Danais & Florian Huygebaert) brengt bourdonmuziek van de Zuid-Franse bals verwoven met de ritmes van twee virtueuze percussionisten. De conga- en drumgrooves van Léo en Florian vinden hun inspiratie ver van de grenzen van Europese folkmuziek, maar passen naadloos in de authentieke Gascogne-melodieën die Le Petit Piment zo'n bounce en swing geven. En mag ik jullie nog herinneren aan de vierstemmige zang?
Ben je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg!

Betalen kan contant of via Tikkie.

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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

Je moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.

We vragen ook om de zaal snel te verlaten na het einde van het bal en om geen geluid te maken voor de Moira.


Workshop Beschrijving
The workshop will be given by Ellwen Barbault and musically accompanied by Trio Baladins.

What if our body knew more than our head may suggest? What if we learned to listen to it to let it lead us?

During this workshop, we will explore our body : we will learn to feel how it reacts to music, which emotions pass through it and how. Then, once we’ve met ourselves and let go, we can meet someone, observe, listen and feel how he or she reacts in the dance.

Which messages and emotions does he/she give to me ? Then it’s my turn to identify what I give and how. Finally, we’ll choose together a shared and/or complementary corporal language to lead and follow without suffering or imposing anything, neither to myself nor to someone else. Then can begin the co-leaded and unique dance we are creating together at 100%.


Niveau
In this workshop we mostly use mazurka and scottish as working bases, but nothing is settled and we adjust to the participants depending on their needs, levels, etc.


Prijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden
Zie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

name = "Socialles 244 — Fandango 2/2"
details = """
Deze donderdag 3 november is het socialles nr 243. De docenten deze week zijn Wim Scherpenzeel en Leora. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de Fandango. Let op: dit is les 2 van 2. Het is dan ook handig om bij beide aanwezig te zijn, maar er zal bij deze tweede les ook een korte herhaling gegeven worden van de eerste les voor degenen die het gemist hebben.

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."""

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).
 
MAX. AANTAL PLAATSEN: 20
TAAL: Nederlands
DUUR: 2,5 dag (vrijdag 16.00 uur - zondag 20.00 uur)
AANMELDEN: dancingbodies

 
𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelprocessen aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. Met veel persoonlijke aandacht en gerichte oefeningen. Een intensive onderscheidt zich van een enkele workshop in een totaal opbouw met dieper detailniveau waarop wordt gewerkt. Met persoonlijke feedback uit de groep en van docent(en). De intensive is gericht op dansers die willen groeien en vanuit een technischere basis willen leren bewegen. Met als doel uiteindelijk meer vrijheid in hun dans te kunnen vinden (betere connectie en meer variatie). De duur van de intensive geeft de mogelijkheid om langer stil te staan bij onderwerpen en te werken met ervarend leren. Waarbij ruimte wordt gemaakt voor het invullen van een persoonlijk leerdoel.

 
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!

Veroniqué und Piaire – Foto: Friedbert Linden
Workshop zu Tänzen für den Bal Folk, für Tänzer*innen mit Anfangskenntnissen
Kurs 12-18 Uhr (im Preis enthalten BalFolk am Abend)
Preis: 25 € / ermäßigt 15 €
Ziel des Kurses ist, zuvor erworbene (oder schlummernde) Anfangskenntnisse von Bal-Folk-Tänzen zu beleben, zu vertiefen und auszubauen.
Im Zentrum stehen Scottish, Polka, Polka Piquée, Walzer, Mazurka und Bourrée. Mit der Arbeit an den Grundschritten sollen der spezifische Bewegungsstil und Improvisationsmöglichkeiten für den jeweiligen Tanz vermittelt werden.
Kursleiterin ist Véronique Élouard (Sainte-Reine, Frankreich), der Berliner Folk-Szene durch Kurse zu Bal Folk-Tänzen allgemein ebenso wie spezifischeren Tänzen (Rigodon, Bourrées, Java u.a.) bekannt. Sie wird beim Kurs musikalisch unterstützt von Piaire Rambaud (Geige, diatonisches Akkordeon). Beider heimatliche Gruppe ist „Talon Pointe“.
Nach dem Kurs gibt es erst mal eine 2-stündige Pause zum Erholen und Essen gehen.
Dann geht es in den nachfolgenden, im Preis enthaltenen Balk Folk ab 20 Uhr.
Die Kursteilnehmer können die eben erlernten Tänze mit erfahrenen Folkies vertiefen.
Covid-Test: Ein negativer tagesaktueller (Selbst-)Test ist für Veranstaltungen in der KulturMarkthalle erforderlich.

Veroniqué und Piaire – Foto: Friedbert Linden
Kurs 14-19 Uhr
Preis: 25 € / ermäßigt 15 €
Die Bourrèe à deux temps gilt als ‚leichter Tanz‘, bietet aber viele Improvisationsmöglichkeiten für tanzende Paare, sowie Choreografien für den Tanz zu viert.
Im Workshop sollen diese Möglichkeiten kennengelernt werden, zugleich am Stil der Tanzbewegungen gearbeitet werden, der die spezifische Eleganz dieser Form der Bourrée ausmacht. Der Kurs eignet sich für alle, die den Tanz für sich weiterentwickeln möchten.
Kontrastiv wird eine kleine Einheit über die Bourree à trois temps eingeschoben.
Kursleiterin ist Véronique Élouard (Sainte-Reine, Frankreich), der Berliner Folk-Szene durch Kurse zu Bal Folk-Tänzen allgemein ebenso wie spezifischeren Tänzen (Rigodon, Bourrées, Java u.a.) bekannt. Sie wird beim Kurs musikalisch unterstützt von Piaire Rambaud (Geige, diatonisches Akkordeon).
Covid-Test: Ein negativer tagesaktueller (Selbst-)Test ist für Veranstaltung erforderlich.

Kurs 18-22 Uhr
Preis: 25 € / ermäßigt 15 €
JAVA ist ein Paartanz im 3-er-Rhythmus aus der Musette-Familie.
Entstanden in der Musette-Kultur am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts hat die Java ihre Wurzeln im Milieu der von den Auvergnaten unterhaltenen Bälle in Paris und der Banlieue.
Sie ist musikalisch reich entfaltet, besonders durch Stücke für das Akkordeon, so von Jo Privat, Augusto Baldi, Emil Vacher und anderen.
Nach Auffassung einiger liegt ihr eine italienische Mazurka, Rosina, zugrunde, die von den Cracks mit schnellen Walzerschritten getanzt wurde. Es heißt, dass die Java einer der Tänze der Musette ist, die, wenn gut getanzt, einen Eindruck von Anmut, Leichtigkeit und technischer Perfektion erzeugen und „stets die Aufmerksamkeit anderer Tänzer auf sich ziehen“.
Der Kurs vermittelt Grundschritt und choreografische Möglichkeiten des Tanzes, unter Beachtung seiner stilistischen Eigenheiten. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich.

details = """
Deze donderdag 17 november is het socialles nr 246. Docent deze week zijn Noelia & Rick. Het thema is de gigue en hoe interactie en 'spelen' met variaties, partners en de rest van de groep mogelijk gemaakt kan worden. Eigen variaties en inbreng van harte welkom!

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."""

Band
Paracetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka’s, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest en CaDansa.

Light Migrations – Photos: Łukasz Zyska and Balfolk.pl
Light Migrations (Polen/Ukraine)
LIGHT MIGRATIONS formen einen musikalischen Raum voll Energie, Intimität und interkulturellen Verbindungen. Ihr Repertoire besteht sowohl aus populären Balfolk-Tänzen (Chappelloise, Scottish, Mazurka, Bourée 2 Temps und 3 Temps, Walzer, Polska, Hanter Dro, An dro und viele mehr), geht aber auch deutlich darüber hinaus: Mit ihrer umfangreichen musikalischen Expertise aus vielen europäischen Traditionen zeigt die Band ein Klangspektrum auf, das stark von skandinavischen und keltischen Elementen beeinflusst ist. Sie bedienen sich einerseits traditioneller Melodien und komponieren andererseits ihr eigenes Repertoire, um schöne Erlebnisse in Tanz- und Konzertsälen zu schaffen.

Koriander (Deutschland / Österreich)
KORIANDER, das sind Sebastian (Akkordeon, Flöten, Klavier), Michael (Klarinetten, Klavier) und ein vielseitiges und größtenteils selbst geschriebenes (Bal)Folk-Repertoire. Koriander lässt sich nicht nur vom „klassischen“ Balfolk inspirieren, sondern auch von schwedischen Polskas, finnischen Polkkas oder sogar dem ein oder anderen dänischen Sønderhoning und wechselt auch mal vom folkigen zu einem mehr jazzigen oder orientalisch-angehauchten Sound.

Een fijne combi tussen volksdans en balfolk, stijlen die veel met elkaar gemeen hebben, maar toch nog zeer verschillend zijn. Samen met volksdansvereniging Machar houdt Balfolk Zuid-Holland een volksdansbal, waar zowel traditionele volksdansen als typische balfolkdansen gedanst kunnen worden. De avond begint met een dansuitleg voor beide stijlen, zodat je als bezoeker geen moment aan de kant hoeft te staan.

Uiteraard zal er live-muziek zijn, en dat is deze keer het duo van Wouter en De Draak! Dit duo bestaat uit Wouter Kuyper op trekzak en Joris Alblas op gitaar. Balfolk, maar dan met een grotere rol voor de gitaar, een tintje Iers en een voorliefde voor Bretons.

Toegang tot het bal, inclusief gratis consumptie, is 12,50 euro. Dit kan bij voorkeur betaald worden door 12,50 euro over te maken naar NL60 INGB 0003555154 tnv Volksdansvereniging Machar te Dordrecht.

De avond begint om 20.00 uur en duurt tot 23.00 uur.

Je kunt komen dansen op de Haringvlietstraat 515, 3313 EM in Dordrecht, het Woonzorgcentrum de Merwelanden."""

name = "Zweedse Schottis (21 en 28 november)"
details = """
Op 21 en 28 november geeft Amber Wever workshops over de Schottis, een dans met dezelfde 19e-eeuwse stam als ‘onze’ Scottish maar één die een andere richting op geëvolueerd is. Iets dat vooral te zien is in dat deze dans afstand maakt! In deze workshops gaan we spelen met ritmes, leren initiëren zonder te leiden, en werken met het groepsgevoel van alle koppels in dezelfde ruimte. En dat natuurlijk terwijl we een stevige basis aanleren van deze hele toffe dans!

Niveau
De workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen: binnen de basis is er ruimte voor individuele verdieping, dus de workshop is interessant voor beginnende dansers én mensen die de schottis al kennen. Wel raden wij met klem aan om beide workshops te volgen; mocht dat écht niet lukken kun je mailen naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.

Lestijden & Locatie
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.
Je moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.


Prijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden
Zie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

name = "Socialles 247 — Leiden, volgen en variëren (1/2)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 24 november is het socialles nr 247. Docent deze week is Susanne, zij gaat met ons aan de slag met leiden, volgen en variëren in koppeldansen. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de les van volgende week, gegeven door Paulo, maar kunnen zoals altijd ook los gevolgd worden.

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."""

Folkbal Nijmegen bestaat 15 jaar.
En dat vieren met twee dagen feest en zes bands. Deze dagen spelen Hot Griselda, EmBRUN, Wouter Kuyper, Les Bottines Artistiques, Two Catch a Raindrop en Naragonia.  Dans je mee?
Niet vergeten: op woensdag hebben we pre-party tijdens Balfolk Café Nijmegen met Nebel (NL/ Be) als opwarmer.

Het allereerste Nijmeegse bal vond plaats in 2007, in Café Trianon.  Het smaakte naar meer en we werden opgenomen door Stichting Vlaams Cultureel Kwartier (VCK), onder welke vlag we tot 2019 bals organiseerden. Eerst nog in het eigen pand van het VCK, op de zolder van het Vlaams Arsenaal. We hadden een eigen sleutel en de jamsessie na afloop van een bal mocht rustig tot 4 uur 's nachts duren. Toen het VCK deze ruimte in 2013 afstootte gingen we verder: eerst bals in tangosalon El Corte, vanaf 2015 in de Brebl en Het Danslokaal op het Honigcomplex. In de periode van 2017 tot 2020 organiseerden we bals in het Kolpinghuis.
Sinds 2017 organiseren we ook maandelijks bals samen met Kees van Café the Shuffle. Daar vieren we dan ook graag al deze dansende jaren met dit tweedaagse balfolk feest. Doe je mee?
Voorverkoop tickets
Prijs: 26,50 euro per dag
Voor de vroege vogels is er een aantal \"combi-tickets\" voor beide dagen te bestellen. Deze zijn 46,50.

Workshop Hambo en andere Zweedse dansen
Heb je altijd al eens de Hambo willen leren? Dit is je kans!

Op zondag 27 november a.s. geven wij een workshop waarin we de Hambo gaan aanleren en aandacht besteden aan een aantal basisfiguren uit de Zweedse polskor en gammaldans.

De sfeer van de Zweedse dans wordt door veel dansers omschreven als: harmonie met een partner, zweven op golven, zaligheid, knus, samen in balans.
Dit gevoel komt tot stand als er een aantal elementen op z'n plek vallen: ontspanning in de bewegingen, de techniek in de passen en de balans in je eigen lijf en met je danspartner.
In de workshop zullen we aan al deze elementen aandacht besteden.

Kom gezellig meedoen en ervaren hoe ook jij kunt zweven over de dansvloer.
Deze workshop is geschikt voor mensen met enige danservaring.

Graag tot dan!
Elske Hoen & Leo van der Heijden
-----------------------------------------

Elske en Leo zijn geen balfolk docenten, maar wel al bijna 30 jaar verknocht aan de Zweedse dansen.

Balfolk op zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen met Mars House Band op 27 nov 2022

André ten Broeke (trekzak) en Jan Sijben (mandoline en banjo) vormen samen Mars House Band. Zij leerden elkaar kennen in 2018 bij een balfolk-muziekstage in Kalmthout (België).  Het klikte! .... en met veel plezier spelen (en bestuderen, en dansen) ze sindsdien balfolkmuziek. Inmiddels zijn ze lekker op elkaar ingespeeld en hebben hun eigen originele muzikale klank ontwikkeld. Veel eigen stukken (dansen), maar ook traditionals die ze oppikten van oude muzikanten en leermeesters in binnen- en buitenland. Met veel plezier presenteren ze op deze middag hun nieuwe programma:  Lekker spacen op muziek van Mars House Band.

Natuurlijk is ook het Ad-Hoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) er weer bij. Het Ad-Hoc speelt vooral traditionele franse balfolk muziek.

Het bal zal weer gehouden worden in hotel/restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen.
Het bal begint zoals gebruikelijk stipt om 14:00 uur.

Tijdens het bal worden enkele korte instructies gegeven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven, Andro retourné en Suite de maraîchines.

Entree is € 7
Reserveren is niet nodig."""

name = "Socialles 248 — Leiden, volgen en variëren (2/2)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 1 december is het socialles nr 248. Docent deze week is Paulo, hij gaat met ons aan de slag met leiden, volgen en variëren in koppeldansen. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de les van vorige week, gegeven door Susanne, maar ze kunnen zoals altijd ook los gevolgd worden.

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."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 8 december is het socialles nr 249. Docenten deze week zijn Anika, Ellen, Lara en Johan en zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de repasseado.

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."""

[English below] We gaan twee weken Poitou-dansen dansen bij Balfolk Utrecht en allerlei smaakjes leren kennen! Iedereen is welkom. Workshops zijn los te volgen, maar het leukst samen ;).

We starten op 12 december met een workshop van Saskia Sportel. Met een schat vol kennis en een flinke dosis humor neemt ze je mee naar het westen van Frankrijk, de Poitou-regio. Verwacht groepsdansen die energiek en speels zijn, en tegelijk een traditionele ondertoon hebben. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor bij deze dansen, en in deze reeks zal dit zeker tot uiting komen! Saskia heeft in samenspraak met onze Franse gast van de week daarop een heuse Poitou Menukaart ontwikkelt. Dat is gelijk de perfecte voorbereiding op onze seizoensafsluiter, namelijk…

Op 19 december komt niemand minder dan Lucas Thebaut naar de Moira, voor een workshop + minibal, met Poitou-muziek. Lucas is een bekende accordeonspeler van bands zoals Ballsy Swing en Accordzéâm. Maar hij is ook een fantastische soloartiest en danser.
Onze Poitou-workshop menukaart:
Deze workshop: 12 december, met Saskia Sportel:

 \tBal Limousine
 \tAvant deux à Coutant
 \tMaraichine
 \tAls de tijd het toelaat, bonusfiguren in de Maraichine

Op 19 december, met Lucas Thebaut:

 \tBranle de Noirmoutier*
 \tMarchoises
 \tExtra verrassingen als de tijd het toelaat

*Jazeker, je leest het goed… Branle de Noirmoutier met ‘echte Poitou passen’ ;-)
Daarna natuurlijk: Minibal met al deze dansen en meer!

Het belooft een knallende seizoensafsluiter te worden :).

Niveau
Beide workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen… Je bent welkom, ongeacht of het je eerste kennismaking is met Poitou, of dat graag een opfrisser wil, of je kent de dansen alleen ‘van zien doen’, of omdat je simpelweg niet weg kunt blijven.

Over de docent
Saskia geeft sinds bijna 15 jaar balfolk workshops en lessen. Saskia’s doceerstijl wordt vaak beschreven als open, helder en verfrissend. Het doel is om plezier te hebben, zowel tijdens de workshop als op de dansvloer. Daarbij zijn een veilige ruimte en persoonlijke aandacht belangrijk.

Lestijden & Locatie
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting.
Je moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.

Prijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden
Zie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

[English]

We are going to dance Poitou dances! All are welcome.

We start December 12th with a workshop by Saskia Sportel. With a chink of knowledge and a good dose of humor, she takes you along to the west of France, the Poitou region. Saskia developed this workshop in collaboration with our French guest of the following week, which makes it the perfect preparation. Because…

On December 19th the one and only Lucas Thebaut is coming to the Moira for a workshop + minibal with Poitou music! Lucas is a well-known accordeon player, from bands such as Ballsy Swing and Accordzéâm, and he is a fanastic solo-artist and dancer too.

Expect dances that are energetic, playful and have a traditional base to it. Collectivity is an important factor during workshops and bals with Lucas, and with the group dances from the Poitou-area you will definitely get this experience.
Our Poitou workshop menu:
On December 12th, with Saskia Sportel:

Workshop

 \tBal Limousine
 \tAvant deux à Coutant
 \tMaraichine
 \tIf time allows, extra figures in Maraichine

On December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:

 \tBranle de Noirmoutier
 \tMarchoises
 \tExtra surprises if time allows it

And of course, also on December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:

 \tMini bal with all these dances, and more!

This season finale is about to be a hit! :)

Level
Both workshops are open for everyone… You are welcome, whether it’s your first taste of Poitou dances, or you just want a refresher, or if you know the dances only from seeing it on the dancefloor, or because you simply cannot stay away."""

Deze donderdag 15 december is het socialles nr 250. Docent deze week zijn Rick en Noelia. Helemaal in de feestdagenstemming, net nadat Sinterklaas is vertrokken en de kerstman is gearriveerd, doen we deze week een grabbelton/cadeautjesles: het is aan jullie wat we deze les gaan behandelen! Extra leuk omdat we natuurlijk deze keer de 250ste hebben. Verzoekjes welkom uiteraard voor thema's of dansjes die je altijd al eens wil doen.

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."""

Aurélien Claranbaux: diatonische accordeon
Sylvain Letourneau: gitaar

 

PFM!

PFM! begeleidt de dansuitleg en speelt daarna bal. PFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar (en een beetje trekzak). Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!

Maurits van Heijningen: viool
Pieter Tijssen: gitaar en een beetje trekzak
Frans Stuurman: klarinet

In Rotterdam wordt kerst feestelijk gevierd met een Kerstbal op onze vaste stek in Cuartito Azul. Voor ons komt de band Madlot spelen. Madlot is een fijn, dynamisch collectief van verschillende muzikanten rond Judica Lookman en Bert Lotz. Elkaar ontmoeten en inspireren vanuit verschillende muziektradities, is een nieuw thema geworden: van jong tot oud, West-Europees tot Syrië en Koerdistan. Aansluitende muzikanten zijn onder andere Wouter Koenders, Suzi Varga en Corentin Clot.

Het bal is uiteraard geheel in kerstsfeer. In je favoriete kerstoutfit komen mag, maar is uiteraard niet verplicht.

Omdat het bal deze keer op zondag is, beginnen en eindigen we wat vroeger.

Het programma:
16:30 - 17:30 Dansuitleg
17:30 - 19:00 Bal!
19:00 - 20:00 Picknick
20:00 - 22:00 Sessie

Toegang tot het Kerstbal is 10 euro. Dat is alleen cash te betalen, aan de deur. Reserveren wordt gewaardeerd, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het wordt."""

Mocht je enkel naar het bal komen is de entree €8, €10 of €15. (Kortingstarief is voor dit bal bedoeld als je die €2 echt niet kan missen).

Voor workshop+bal moet je wel reserveren, zie boven voor reserveren voor het workshop+bal met bijhorende prijzen. Betaling doe je contant aan de kassa.

[English below] We gaan twee weken Poitou-dansen dansen bij Balfolk Utrecht en allerlei smaken leren kennen! Iedereen is welkom. Workshops zijn los te volgen, maar het leukst samen ;).

We starten op 12 december met een workshop van Saskia Sportel, die samen met Lucas een hele menukaart van dansen voor ons heeft samengesteld.

Voor deze workshop op 19 december komt Lucas Thebaut naar de Moira! Hij pakt de draad op van Saskia en introduceert ons aan een Tweede Portie Poitou, dansen uit de streek waar hij zelf vandaan komt. Verwacht groepsdansen die energiek en speels zijn, en tegelijk een traditionele ondertoon hebben. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor in de workshops van Lucas, en met dit menu zal dit zeker tot uiting komen!
Onze Poitou-workshop menukaart:
12 december, met Saskia Sportel:

 \tBal Limousine
 \tAvant deux à Coutant
 \tMaraichine
 \tAls de tijd het toelaat, bonusfiguren in de Maraichine

Deze workshop, 19 december, met Lucas Thebaut:

 \tBranle de Noirmoutier
 \tMarchoises
 \tExtra verrassingen als de tijd het toelaat

Jazeker, je leest het goed… Branle de Noirmoutier met ‘echte Poitou passen’ ;-)

Daarna natuurlijk: Minibal met al deze dansen en meer!

Het belooft een knallende seizoensafsluiter te worden :).

Niveau
Beide workshops zijn toegankelijk voor iedereen… Je bent welkom, ongeacht of het je eerste kennismaking is met Poitou, of dat graag een opfrisser wil, of je kent de dansen alleen ‘van zien doen’, of omdat je simpelweg niet weg kunt blijven. Deze workshop zal in het Engels gegeven worden.

Over de docent
Lucas is een bekende accordeonspeler van bands zoals Ballsy Swing en Accordzéâm. Maar hij is ook een fantastische soloartiest én danser. Hij heeft veel ervaring met dansworkshops geven in zowel Frankrijk als internationaal. Collectiviteit is een belangrijke factor tijdens workshops en bals van Lucas en met de groepsdansen uit de regio Poitou zal dit zeker tot uiting komen!

Lestijden & Locatie

We vragen ook om de zaal snel te verlaten na het einde van het bal en om geen geluid te maken voor de Moira.

Prijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden
Zie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)

[English]

We are going to dance Poitou dances! All are welcome.

We start December 12th with a workshop by Saskia Sportel. With a chink of knowledge and a good dose of humor, she takes you along to the west of France, the Poitou region. Saskia developed this workshop in collaboration with our French guest of the following week, which makes it the perfect preparation. Because…

On December 19th the one and only Lucas Thebaut is coming to the Moira for a workshop + miniball with Poitou music! Lucas is a well-known accordeon player, from bands such as Ballsy Swing and Accordzéâm, and he is a fanastic solo-artist and dancer too.

Expect dances that are energetic, playful and have a traditional base to it. Collectivity is an important factor during workshops and bals with Lucas, and with the group dances from the Poitou-area you will definitely get this experience.
Our Poitou workshop menu:
On December 12th, with Saskia Sportel:

Workshop

 \tBal Limousine
 \tAvant deux à Coutant
 \tMaraichine
 \tIf time allows, extra figures in Maraichine

On December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:

 \tBranle de Noirmoutier
 \tMarchoises
 \tExtra surprises if time allows it

And of course, also on December 19th, with Lucas Thebaut:

 \tMini ball with all these dances, and more!

This season finale is about to be a hit! :)

Level
Both workshops are open for everyone… You are welcome, whether it’s your first taste of Poitou dances, or you just want a refresher, or if you know the dances only from seeing it on the dancefloor, or because you simply cannot stay away."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 22 december is het socialles nr 251. Docent deze week is Leo Visser. Het thema is 'Samen dansen'.  Of we nu in een koppel of in een groep dansen, we zijn altijd samen aan het dansen. Dit betekent dat we willen communiceren en op elkaar letten. Tijdens deze socialles kijken we naar hoe we samen kunnen dansen. Het maakt niet uit of iemand trad of neo danst, snel of langzaam wil dansen of energiek of rustig, we dansen samen!

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."""

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Musac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten. Dansen zijn o.a. bourrée, scottish, jigue, andro, tovercirkel, wals, dubbele klappolka en nog veel meer.
De dansavonden zijn bedoeld voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er wordt tussen de dansen door korte dans-instructie verzorgd.
De sfeer is ontspannen en samen plezier hebben staat voorop.
De kosten zijn € 5,= per avond, ter plaatse in de pauze te voldoen.
't Volkshoes heeft een zaal met houten vloer en een café met bar.
Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.
Info / contact / aanmelden mailings: willvdbool@musac.eu

Tanzworkshop „Walzer spezial“

„Man könnte sich vorstellen, dass die Musik eine Geschichte erzählt und das tanzende Paar zwei Künstle*Innen sind, die diese Geschichte auf dieselbe Leinwand malen.“
Du liebst Walzer und willst noch mehr davon tanzen, noch schneller, noch runder, noch flüssiger – ohne Kollision?
Dich interessiert, wie man eigentlich beim 5er Walzer das Austanzen der Schritte mit dem „lazy“- Schritt kombiniert?
In diesem Workshop wird Line mit einer Speed-Einführung als Erinnerung beginnen, so dass im Anschluss den Themen Schwung und Geschwindigkeit, Achtsamkeit im Raum und Schrittvariationen im 5er Walzer Platz gegeben wird.
Der Workshop richtet sich an Personen, die bereits Valse tanzen und sich weiterentwickeln möchten, sowie Menschen ohne Vorkenntnisse, die sehr geübt darin sind, neue Schritte zu erfassen.
Über Line:
Ich war immer in Bewegung, daher habe ich meine Wurzeln im Modern Dance, Tango und Contact, aber vor allem: im Balfolk. Es ist mein Zuhause, seit ich 12 Jahre alt bin, und jetzt genieße ich es, Balfolk in ganz Europa zu tanzen. In den Kursen wechsle ich immer die Rollen, um zu verstehen, wie das Tanzen aus verschiedenen Positionen funktioniert. Außerdem bin ich überzeugt davon, dass Tanzen auch politisch ist, so dass ein Rollenwechsel uns auch erlaubt, zu lernen, was es bedeutet, für mehr als nur mich selbst verantwortlich zu sein, die Kontrolle abzugeben und sich an jemand anderen anzupassen.

name = "Polska without effort"
details = """
Op 9 en 16 januari geven Amber Wever en Robin van den Brule workshops over polska! Zij hebben hier beiden veel over geleerd tijdens hun dansstudie aan het Eric Sahlström Institut in Tobo, Zweden.

Er zijn natuurlijk meerdere polskor, net zoals er niet maar één bourrée is. In deze workshop gaan we aan de slag met algemene technieken in de polska, die heel goed toepasbaar zijn op de polska zoals 'ie bij balfolk gedanst wordt.

In de workshops gaan we vanuit een Zweeds dansperspectief aan de slag met bewegen, balans, draaien, en uiteindelijk het samen rondkomen. Zo kun je de polska leren dansen zonder geduw of getrek, en weinig duizeligheid: met minder moeite dus!

Niveau
De workshop is zowel geschikt voor beginners die al wat pasjes op de 1 en 3 gewaagd hebben, en mensen die de polska op de balfolkvloer al onder de knie (denken te) hebben. Het helpt altijd om al een beetje bekend te zijn met het muzikale ritme.

Wel raden wij met klem aan om beide workshops te volgen; mocht dat écht niet lukken kun je mailen naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com.

Lestijden & Locatie
19:00 – deuren open
19:15 – de les begint
21:45 – einde les
22:00 – sluiting
Je moet de blauwe voordeur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Ben je onverhoopt te laat en is de deur dicht? Bel het 06-nummer dat op de deur hangt, dan komt iemand de deur open doen.


Prijzen, Aanmelden en Algemene Voorwaarden
Zie boven voor reserveren en prijzen. Je betaalt contant voor je reservering aan het begin van de workshop.

Let op! Als je inschrijft, reserveren we een plekje voor je en gaan we er ook van uit dat je komt. Inschrijven is dus niet vrijblijvend. Als je je inschrijft en je je minder dan een week voor de workshop weer afmeldt, vragen we een administratieve bijdrage. Als je je minder dan drie dagen voor de workshop afmeldt, betaal je een deel van het lesgeld, tenzij je iemand vindt die je kaartje overneemt. Je kunt alles lezen in deze algemene voorwaarden, die gelden als je je aanmeldt.

Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen zich vrij en veilig voelt om zichzelf te zijn en om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen, die naar onze workshops komt, op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen: Balfolk Utrecht Richtlijnen. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. :)

Nieuwsbrief
Je kunt je aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief door een e-mail te verzenden naar balfolkutrecht@gmail.com met dat je je wilt aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief.

details = """
Deze donderdag 12 januari december is het socialles nr 252. Docent deze week is Marcel en we gaan deze week aan de slag met de rondeau als dans.

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."""

14 Januari is het weer tijd om te dansen in Hoorn met 3 topgroepen en een workshop vooraf.

Programma

12:00 – 15:00 – Workshop
15:15 – 16:15 – Dansuitleg
16:30 – 18:30 – Cardboard Cabin
18:30 – 19:30 – Picknick
19:30 – 21:30 – Duo Nello
21:45 – 23:15 – Mars House Band

Praktische informatie

De locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn de laatste trein naar utrecht gaat nog na 12 uur 's avonds dus je kunt het einde van het bal goed meemaken!
Met de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Als het goed is kan er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.
Op de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden.

Picknick

Net zoals andere keren hebben we weer een picknick! We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Probeer ook een kaartje of papiertje oid te maken om aan te geven of je gerecht bijvoorbeeld vegatarisch is of voor speciale dieten geschikt is. Dat helpt mensen die bepaalde dieëten volgen heel erg! (vooral bij gerechten in bijvoorbeeld bladerdeeg kan het soms echt giswerk worden anders)

Workshop

Voorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gegeven worden door een internationale balfolk docent! Deze workshop moet los voor betaald worden. Tijdens de workshop is de bar nog niet open, we raden dus aan om zelf eten en drinken mee te nemen om te nuttigen tijdens de workshop.

Prijzen

De inflatie en verhoogde tarieven raakt ons ook. Waar we in het verleden nog een lager tarief en een fair trade tarief konden bieden is de prijs voor het bal nu gewoon 25 euro geworden. We zagen dat veel mensen het fair trade tarief al betaalde (heel erg bedankt hiervoor!) maar als we de musikanten en technici eerlijk willen betalen kunnen we niet meer minder vragen dan 25 euro voor het bal.

Bal: 25 euro
Workshop: 20 euro

Kaartjes kopen

Je kunt je kaartje voor het bal (en de workshop) via deze link bestellen.

This workshop will be before the bal in Hoorn (https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-hoorn/).
The workshop will be in English!

Description:
Have you ever experienced the situation when you hear your favourite group dance, you join the circle and it was nice but a bit off? Something was missing and you’re not sure what exactly?
Have you ever danced a really nice waltz, wanted to move smoothly around the room but got stuck in one spot? Have you ever bumped into other couples?
In this workshop we will work together on finding a common energy in the collective dances:
how to dance together and share energy in the group. We will also look a bit closer at the couple dances and see if we can find a connection between the couples on the dance floor.
We will look for ideas and solutions to these challenges to have more fun in the dance.

About the Teacher:
Agnieszka has been dancing since childhood: starting with artistic gymnastics and ballet, then court dances, Scottish Celtica SCD (later Cluaran SCD) and Irish dancing, where she stayed for some time, before finally landing in balfolk in 2016.
From that moment, she has been strongly attached to the balfolk scene - traveling around Europe to learn more, while also teaching and organizing regularly in Krakow for 5 years.
What is important for her is to find joy in movement and learning something new from every kind of dance: the richness of chain and circle dances but also the beautiful connection that you can find in couple dances."""

Balfolk op Zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen van 2 tot 5 uur
In Die Port van Cleve vindt zondagmiddag 15 januari 2023 weer een Balfolk-middag plaats. Dit keer met als speciale muzikale gasten, de groep 'Madlot’.
De naam Madlot komt van een Nederlandse dans die in de negentiende eeuw populair was. Nu kun je daar een cercle op dansen. Madlot is een dynamisch collectief van muzikanten rond Judica Lookman en Bert Lotz. Elkaar ontmoeten en inspireren vanuit verschillende muziektradities, is een nieuw thema geworden: van jong tot oud, en vanuit allerlei streken. En hoe dat klinkt wil Madlot deze middag laten horen.  Zij spelen folk uit Nederland en Frankrijk: scottisch, wals, polka, mazurka, rondeau, andro, hanterdro, enz. enz.

Judica Lookman -trekharmonica’s
Bert Lotz -doedelzakken, koeienhoorn, blokfluit, schalmei
Wouter Koenders -doedelzakken, fluit
Corentin Clot -banjo
Zie voor meer informatie www.madlot.nl

Daarnaast zal ook het vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) spelen. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse en vlaamse Balfolk muziek. Er zullen tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies geven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.

Het bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen.

Entree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig."""

name = "Socialles 253 — Wals"
details = """
Deze donderdag 19 januari is het socialles nr 253. Docent deze week is René en we gaan deze week aan de slag met de wals. Even terug naar de basis: hoe gaat deze dans, hoe dans je deze fijn en hoe zorg je ervoor dat je niet duizelig wordt van al die rondjes? We zullen vooral de wals in 3 dansen met z'n allen.

Deze socialles is mooi te combineren met die van volgende week, waarop we dieper op de dans in gaan en een uitstapje maken naar de wals in 5, 8 en mogelijke andere variaties. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

Band Les Zéoles
Les Zéoles is een duo gevormd door Amélie Denarié op de diatonische accordeon en Anne Guinot op de chromatische accordeon.
De twee muzikanten ontmoetten elkaar in 2002 in Montpellier en richtten Guilis ô Vent op, een kwintet van neo-traditionele muziek, waarvan ze het repertoire samen componeerden.
De wens om samen te spelen en hun muzikale samenwerking verder te brengen bracht ze naar het duo in 2008. Bitterzoete composities, speelse en lyrische melodieën met arrangementen geïnspireerd op traditionele Franse en Europese muziek, maar ook klassiek. Het bal staat altijd centraal in hun werk, maar door hun respectievelijke opleiding tot klassiek pianist bieden ze ook een concertformule, altijd met dezelfde liefde voor onderzoek, van de juiste toon, degene die vlinders in de buik geeft en die we houden het warm als we het eenmaal hebben gevonden.

Amélie Denarié
Als actrice van opleiding neemt muziek een primordiale plaats in haar leven in. Tijdens haar kinderjaren werd ze opgeschrikt door de diatonische accordeon van haar moeder, en pas na haar pianostudie besloot ze zich dit instrument volledig toe te eigenen. Uit zijn ontmoeting met Anne Guinot in 2002 werd Guilis ô Vent geboren, een neo-traditionele muziekgroep uit Montpellier die de balroute volgde tot 2005. Ze componeerde een deel van het repertoire. De diatonische accordeon begeleidt nu veel van zijn theatrale creaties, net als zang. Ze brengt haar composities nu naar het Zéoles-repertoire, waarvoor ze de arrangementen maakt met Anne Guinot, maar ook naar het duo Diatocello (met Mathieu Mitéran) en trad in 2018 toe tot het Bodoq-project met Angela Flahault.

Anne Guinot
Na het leren van de piano, bleek de chromatische accordeon zijn favoriete instrument. Mede-oprichter van de groep Guilis ô Vent met Amélie Denarié, ze componeerde een deel van het repertoire. Ze componeert ook regelmatig voor theater en dans. Haar composities dienen het repertoire van Zéoles, dat ze samen met Amélie Denarié arrangeert.

 

PFM!

PFM! begeleidt de dansuitleg en speelt daarna bal. PFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar (en een beetje trekzak). Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!

Maurits van Heijningen: viool
Pieter Tijssen: gitaar en een beetje trekzak
Frans Stuurman: klarinet

Maracu sagen über sich:
„Inspiriert von den feinsten Tänzen, die wir vielerorts aufgabeln konnten, haben wir Grooves und Melodien zusammengeschnürt. Die lassen wir mal harmonisch davon fliegen und mal fangen wir sie sanft wieder ein. Wir lassen Klangkonfetti regnen und gehen mit euch in fetten Sounds baden! Und wenn sich die Tanzbeine dabei richtig ausgetobt haben, dürfen sie zu Ohren werden und den Geschichten lauschen, die von einer nächtlichen Begegnung mit Jazz und Klezmer erzählen…“

Balfolk Utrecht - Bal met 'Naragonia' en 'Diatocello', 

** English below ** 



Je kunt reserveren via Google Forms, zie hier.
We trappen dit jaar af met de nostalgisch bekende Naragonia, en gaat-nog-nostalgisch-worden Diatocello. We beginnen de avond met Diatocello, bestaand uit accordeoniste Amélie Denarié (bekend van Les Zéoles) en de jazzcellist Mathieu Mitéran. Dus verwacht veel zachte, maar krachtig ritmische variaties. En we sluiten de avond af met Naragonia, twee accordeonisten uit België die prachtig muziek gaan maken in een extra lang optreden van 2 uur.

Er is een workshop voor het bal, maar die zijn we nog aan het inplannen.


Programma
12:00 – Workshop
15:00 – Einde Workshop
15:30 – Inloop voor het bal
16:00 – Diatocello 
17:30 – Potluck
19:45 – Naragonia
21:45 – Eind bal


Bands
Je kunt hieronder naar de bands luisteren.

Reserveren, Prijzen en Voorwaarden
Je reserveert een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.

Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Eten en Drinken
We hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.

Neem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En, het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit. We zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.

De Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.
Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.


Locatie
Het bal vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.







You can book via Google Forms, see here.
We kick off this year with the nostalgically familiar Naragonia, and Diatocello that is going to be nostalgic familiar. We start the evening with Diatocello, consisting of accordionist Amélie Denarié (known from Les Zéoles) and jazz cellist Mathieu Mitéran. So, expect a lot of soft, but powerful rhythmic variations. And, we close the evening with Naragonia, two accordionists from Belgium who will make beautiful music in an extra long performance of 2 hours.

There will be a workshop, but we're still planning it.

Reservation, Prices and Conditions
You reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.

NB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.


Fair Trade (Het Galette Prijsje)
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)


Food and Drinks
We have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.

Bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.

The Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.


Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
In principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines.


Location
The ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall."""

Dit is het evenement voor de proefles van de lesreeksen van Robin en Cecilia op maandag in de Moira in Utrecht. Van eind januari tot begin april geven zij twee reeksen: een basisreeks en een verdiepende en verbredende reeks. Lees meer over de inhoud daarvan, praktische zaken, én de aanmeldlink op deze pagina.

De proefles kost 5 euro (graag contant betalen). Een vaste danspartner is niet nodig, maar we vinden het wel fijn als je laat weten dat je komt. Klik op de reserveerbutton bovenaan de pagina!

De deur is vanaf ongeveer 18.45 uur open, en dan beginnen we om 19.15 met de proefles voor beginners. De proefles voor de verdiepende reeks start om 20.45. We zijn om 22.00 uur klaar.

Er is ook een facebook-event voor deze avond, neem vooral je vrienden mee!

Praktisch

Tijden:
18.55 deur open
19.15 beginnen, basisgroep
20.15 thee, oefenen en in/uit-dansen, en soms speciaal programma voor beide groepen
20.45 verdiepende groep
22.00 klaar

Locatie:
Het adres van de Moira is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht loop je er tegenaan), maar het is een groot gebouw. De deur die je moet hebben is de blauwe aan de rechterkant, met daarop in roze letters Moira zaal. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Er is helaas geen lift.

Prijs:
5 euro, graag contant betalen (en laten weten dat je komt door bovenaan deze pagina te reserveren!). Een danspartner is niet nodig, maar je mag zoveel mensen meenemen als je wilt."""

- Danshouding en communicatie met de partner: hoe dans je samen?
- Variaties uit verschillende bourree stijlen voor Bourree-in-2 met 2 personen, zoals draaien, meegaan, dos-á-dos en volgen.

details = """
Deze donderdag 26 januari is het socialles nr 254. Docent deze week is Paulo en we gaan deze week verder de verdieping in met de wals. Wat is nu precies de techniek achter het dansen, hoe dans je deze samen met een partner fijn en hoe zorg je dat je heerlijk kunt zwieren op de dansvloer zonder duizelig te worden? We zullen ook een uitstapje maken naar niet alleen de wals in 3, maar ook in 5 en 8 en andere variaties.

Deze socialles is mooi te combineren met die van vorige week, waarop de basis aan bod is gekomen. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

Kom dansen!

Op dinsdag 31 januari is de laatste les van het seizoen bij Balfolk Express. Deze keer willen we met een knaller eindigen. We hebben de band Itchy Fingers uitgenodigd en we openen de deuren voor iedereen. Ook jij bent welkom.

 

Reserveren:

Reserveren kan via de rode knop boven aan de pagina. We raden aan om te reserveren zodat je verzekerd bent van een plek.

 

Over de band:

Itchy Fingers

Kijkend naar het virtuoze accordeonspel van Erik de Jong, en de vliegensvlugge gitaarritmes van Tijn Berends, waarbij twee paar handen haast sneller dan het oog kan volgen heen en weer vliegen over knoppen en snaren, krijgen veel mensen een haast onbedwingbare neiging aan hun eigen vingers te krabben. Bij het zien van dit opmerkelijke fenomeen besloten de twee muzikanten om hun duo om te dopen tot Itchy Fingers.

De beide bandleden zijn oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit het noorden des lands, en speelden al enkele jaren samen bij de sessies in Groningen toen zij besloten hun muzikale vaardigheden te bundelen in deze band op zakformaat. Door het grote aantal instrumenten dat deze twee multi-instrumentalisten bespelen, kunnen zij een breed spectrum aan geluiden ten gehore brengen. Subtiele walsen op de tinwhistle, pakkende ritmes op bodhrán en bouzouki, en dansbare balfolk op accordeon, concertina en mondharmonica behoren tot de mogelijkheden.

 

 

Tijden:

Deuren open: 20:15
Start band: 20:30
Sluiten zaal: 22:45

 

Adres:

Café Tropical
Verlengde Hooggravenseweg 203, Utrecht

 

Bereikbaarheid:

Er zijn beperkt aantal plekken vrij op het terrein voor auto’s. Buiten het terrein is het betaald parkeren.
De locatie is goed bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer of met de fiets."""

Groot bal in De Omval in Diemen
Het is weer tijd voor een groot bal in Diemen, in de vertrouwde locatie De Omval. En we hebben een stevig programma in elkaar gezet:

14:00 Deuren gaan open
De bereikbaarheid van De Omval is heel goed. Het ligt op 10 minuten lopen van NS Station Diemen (niet Diemen Zuid dus!!) en 10 minuten lopen vanaf tramlijn 19. En in de omgeving van De Omval is het op zondag vrij parkeren, op de zones voor vergunninghouders na. Wil je overdekt staan dan kun je gebruik maken van de (betaalde) parkeergarage tegenover De Omval.
Je wordt ontvangen in de foyer en je kunt gebruik maken van de garderobe.



14:30 - 15:30 Dansintroductie
De dansintroductie wordt verzorgd door de juffen Gepke en Berend. De instructie wordt live begeleidt door PFM! Beginners kunnen na de introductie met een aantal dansen prima meekomen en het gehele bal meedoen.

15:30 - 16:15 Bal met PFM!
Aansluitend op de introductie speelt PFM! bal.
Trio PFM is een balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 is ontstaan en bestaat uit Frans (Natuurkunde), Maurits (Lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek) en Pieter (Elektrotechniek). Naast compositorisch nodeloos ingewikkelde bètanummers staan er ook rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka’s en een verstilde gavotte de ‘l Aven op het menu. Deze klinken op klarinet, viool, gitaar en trekzak. De nummers zijn voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden.

16:30 - 18:30 Broes
Broes begon als een kwartet in oktober 2009 op de straten van de Gentse binnenstad. Broes brengt eigen composities die geïnspireerd zijn door folk en jazz. Ze zijn ijzersterk in vingervlugge virtuositeit, afwisselende arrangementen en straf samenspel tout court. En dat is duidelijk te horen op hun nieuwe album.
In 2015 lanceerden ze hun eerste album, vol eigen composities, getiteld “Route du Soleil” en in dit jaar de CD \"Botanist\"

18:30 - 19:30 Picknick in de foyer
Een Balfolk Picknick is iets om mee te maken: Alle balfolkies komen naar het bal met een gerecht en dat delen ze met elkaar. De een maakt een pasta salade, de ander bakt een taart, iemand neemt stokbrood mee of iets om daar dan weer op te smeren. Alles mag! Hoe er wel rekening mee dat veel balfolkies vegetariër zijn dus geef aan of er vlees in zit. Na de picknick ruimen we alles netjes op, vegen de kruimels weg en gaan weer dansen met nieuwe energie!

19:30 - 21:30 EmBRUN
Een avond met EmBRUN? Da’s een volle tent, een enthousiast publiek. Dansend op de tonen van een moderne folkband op volle kracht. Het ene moment stomend en swingend, het andere heerlijk intiem. Een goed geoliede vijfcilinder: ritmisch strak, melodisch verrassend. En met genoeg kilometers op de teller om hun energie op elk publiek over te brengen.
EmBRUN is sinds 2003 een vaste waarde in de Belgische en Europese folkscene. Vanaf hun eerste optreden verrasten ze vriend en vijand met hun kijk op folk in de 21ste eeuw. Gestoeld op traditie maar vanaf dag 1 doorspekt met progressieve klanken en ritmes. Hun 20ste verjaardag vieren ze met een tournee door Europa.

21:30 - 22:30 Jam sessie in de foyer tijdens het opruimen
Aan ieder bal komt een eind en dat betekent de zaal opruimen, podium afbreken, stoelen weg, vegen etc. Het is fijn als je dan even wilt helpen!
Heb je je instrument bij je dan kan je ook in de foyer collega muzikanten opzoeken en samen jammen. Dat is een fijne begeleiding bij het afsluitende drankje.
Rond 22:30 gooien we iedereen er uit zodat alle balfolkies ook nog een beetje op tijd in bed liggen."""

details = """
Op 7 februari is er een proefles voor de nieuwe lessenreeks van Balfolk Express. Er wordt lesgegeven in twee groepen.

Je kan je hier aanmelden.

Bij Balfolk is het wisselen tussen danspartners gebruikelijk. Daarom hoef je je niet aan te melden met een danspartner.





Groep 1: Getting into Balfolk

In deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.

Deze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.















Groep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey

In deze groep gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.

Het doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.

Voor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.

Docenten

De lessen worden gegeven door Marc Meijerink en geassisteerd door Jolieke Kessels.

Data

Van 7 februari tot en met 27 juni is er wekelijks les op dinsdagavond, met uitzondering van de vakanties.





Zaal open: 19.00
Groep 1: 19.15 – 20.30
Groep 2: 20.45 – 22.00

Kosten

Voor de proefles vragen we een bijdrage van €5,- om de huur van de ruimte te kunnen bekostigen.

De kosten voor de lessenreeks zijn €210,- voor 19 lessen. Wil je beide groepen volgen? Neem contact op om te kijken of dit bij je past. Korting voor het volgen van beide groepen is in overleg mogelijk.


Bereikbaarheid

Onze locatie is bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer en de auto kan gratis geparkeerd worden op het terrein van de sporthal.

Zondag 12 februari is Aljosha's verjaardag, geen betere reden voor muziek en dans! We hebben twee superduo's uitgenodigd om dit feestje te vieren.

Loogaroo is de synergie tussen accordeonist Pablo Golder en gitartist Florian de Schepper. Afgelopen jaar hebben zij op vele festivals gestaan, waaronder Boombal en Cadansa, waar ze prachtige bals hebben neergezet met hun verrassende verweving van accordion en gitaar. Hun muziek voert je mee naar verre oorden, waar het heerlijk dansen is.

KV Express is al lange tijd een muzikaal begrip, en wij zijn zeer verheugd dat ze weer bij ons komen spelen. Sophie Cavez (accordeon) en Bo Waterschoot (basgitaar) zorgen voor een fantastische en unieke groove, die ontzettend dansbaar is. Een geweldig bal is gegarandeerd!

Ben je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg.

Betalen kan contant of via Tikkie.

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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

Voorlopige planning:

15:00 Dansinitiatie
16:00 Loogaroo
18:00 Potluck diner
19:00 KV Express Duo

Wil je balfolk leren dansen? Kom naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam. Met live begeleiding door Wouter Kuyper.
<<Koop hier je ticket>>
Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?
Lesdata
Deze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.

Reguliere lessen zijn er iedere week van 22 februari t/m 3 mei. Op 22 maart is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 10 mei.

Tijdstippen
18.45 Deur open
19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)
19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen
20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)
21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)

Docenten
De lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.
Opgeven en kosten:
De proefles kost € 5,- je mag voor dit bedrag de hele avond aanwezig zijn en met alle groepen meedoen. Je kan alvast reserveren, maar als je op het allerlaatst besluit betaal je gewoon aan de deur. Kom!
Na de proefles kan je je inschrijven voor de serie echte lessen via het corresponderende evenement op balfolkamsterdam.nl.
Ga je door dan zijn de kosten voor de volgende 10 lessen en het eindbal, € 110,-. Je kunt twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.

Kleding
Kleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons."""

Deze donderdag 16 februari is het socialles nr 255. Het thema en de docent(en) worden later nog bekendgemaakt.

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."""

Trio G3 (Polen)
Trio G3 – Foto: Łukasz Zyska
Entstanden aus der Faszination für den Klang von Zupfinstrumenten und der Freude an der Improvisation, ist ihre Musik eine Mischung aus energiegeladenen und subtilen BalFolk-Tänzen, inspiriert von skandinavischer Tradition, keltischem Folk und Rock, die sich alle für einen zünftigen Abend mit BalFolk und Unfug eignen.
Zunächst als Duo G2 von Jan Gałczewski und Michał Górka begonnen, spielt das Bandprojekt nun um ein „G“ erweitert als Trio G3 zusammen mit dem Flöten- und Pfeifenspieler, Balfolk-Komponisten und alten Freund der Band Jakub „Goldfinch“ Szczygieł. Alle drei Musiker treten auch im Rahmen der Band Light Migrations gemeinsam auf und sind in verschiedenen weiteren Folkbands aktiv. (z.B. Balsam , Beltaine, Daj Ognia)

Duo Bothe-Molzahn: Balfolk aus Leidenschaft
Duo Bothe-Molzahn – Foto: Friedemann von Lampe

Das Duo Bothe-Molzahn (Erlangen, Jena) sorgt mit Spielfreude, Kreativität und mitreißender Leidenschaft bei Balfolk-Tänzern stets für unvergessliche Tanzabende – und gewinnt ebenso Ohr und Herz nichttanzender Zuhörer:innen!
Mit Andreas Bothe an diatonischem Akkordeon und Percussion und Uwe Molzahn an der Violine fanden und ergänzen sich zwei Folkbegeisterte, die an moderner Spielweise, rhythmischen Akzenten und Improvisation sichtlich ihre Freude haben. So erklingen viele ihrer Stücke nie genau so, wie beim Bal zuvor, sind immer etwas einmalig… denn die Intuition des Augenblicks bestimmt ihr intensives Zusammenspiel häufiger als man vermuten mag!
Mit viel energiegeladener, aber auch beseelt-romantischer Musik wird eine spannende Tanzreise durch Frankreich, ins Poitou und die Bretagne geboten. Abstecher nach Portugal und Skandinavien ergänzen die vielseitige Tour – Bon voyage!

Een klein intiem bal met muziek om op weg te dromen. Wat wil je nog meer op een winterse zondagmiddag?

Tijdens dit bal speelt Nubia. Dansen, plezier, muziek, gezelligheid, dromen, wolken, dat is waar Nubia voor staat. Met roots in Nederland en met Scandinavische invloeden maakt dit duo muziek om op te dansen, of om bij weg te dromen terwijl je luistert. Nubia bestaat uit Kris van 't Klooster op mandoline en Tim Hofmeester op DADGAD gitaar.

Programma*
13u45 zaal open
14u00 dansinstructie
15u00 Nubia

De entree is €15,00. Moet je rondkomen van een krappe beurs, dan is er een kortingstarief van €12,00.

Wil je balfolk leren dansen? In februari 2023 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.
<<Boek hier de lessen>>
Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen. Aan bod komen o.a.: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we oefenen een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen o.a. de wals, mazurka, bourree in 2, rondeau-en-couple en meer Bretonse dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We gaan in op moeilijker en minder bekende dansen. Daarnaast gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Hoe houd je contact in de bourree in 3?
Lessen
De serie lessen bestaat uit 10 lessen op de woensdagavond. Er is iedere week les van 22 februari t/m 3 mei. Op 22 maart is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 10 mei.
De kosten voor de reeks van 10 lessen bedraagt € 110,-. Je kunt ook twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.
Je schrijft je in voor de serie lessen via de website https://balfolkamsterdam.nl.
Tijdstippen
18.45 Deur open
19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)
19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen
20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)
21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)

Docenten
De lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke en Frans.
Kleding
Kleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons."""

name = "Socialles 256"
details = """
Deze donderdag 23 februari is het socialles nr 256. Het thema en de docent(en) worden later nog bekendgemaakt.

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."""

Balfolk op Zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen van 2 tot 5
In Die Port van Cleve vindt zondagmiddag 26 februari 2023 weer een Balfolk-middag plaats. Dit keer met als speciale muzikale gasten, de groep ‘PFM!’.
PFM! is een energieke balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 ontstaan en bestaat uit enthousiaste dansers die ook graag op het podium staan: Frans op klarinet, Maurits op viool en Pieter op gitaar. Het trio speelt onder andere rechttoe-rechtaan cercle’s, swingende scottishes en hoekige hanterdro’s, maar ook zachte smeuïge mazurka’s en een verstilde Gavotte de ‘l Aven. Er worden voornamelijk eigen composities gespeeld met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden. Het klinkt soms eigenwijs, maar altijd aanstekelijk en dansbaar!

Daarnaast zal ook het vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) spelen. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse en vlaamse Balfolk muziek. Er zullen tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies geven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.

Het bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen.

Entree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig."""

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

Poppodium P60 heeft een grote zaal met een groot podium en een bar, hier zal gedanst worden. De vloer is geen danszaal-vloer, maar wel dansbaar. Verder is er een foyer met bar en een zithoek. Hier kun je wat rustiger zitten en wat kletsen.



Locatie & bereikbaarheid:
Poppodium P60
Stadsplein 100a, 1181 ZM Amstelveen

Is P60 makkelijk te bereiken met het OV?
P60 ligt naast het Amstelveen Busstation (nog geen minuut lopen). Hier zijn verschillende buslijnen naar Amsterdam Centrum, Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena, Amsterdam Zuid, Schiphol, Uithoorn, Mijdrecht, Kudelstaart. Aalsmeer, Hoofddorp en Haarlem.

Zijn er parkeerplaatsen rondom P60?

Kan ik mijn spullen opbergen in de garderobe?
Er zijn lockers naast de garderobe. Het gebruik ervan kost € 2,00 en de munten ervoor kun je pinnen bij de garderobe. De afmetingen van een locker zijn 20cmx30cm en 35 cm diep. Daarmee passen er ongeveer 2 jassen in.
Wel even scherp zijn als je je jas in de locker doet, want eenmaal geopend zul je opnieuw een munt in de locker doen om deze weer te gebruiken.

Kijk voor overige vragen op de P60 FAQ .

Wat is balfolk?
Nog niet bekend met balfolk? Dan zal ik eens even uitleggen wat balfolk is! Bij balfolk dans je oude volksdansen uit West-Europa die in groepen of duo’s gedanst worden. Doordat je bij sommige dansen van partner wisselt tijdens de dans, leer je snel nieuwe mensen kennen en kan je makkelijker contact maken met ze! Wees niet bang als je nog nooit aan balfolk hebt meegedaan! Er zijn altijd mensen die je willen helpen het te leren en in alle dansen zit veel herhaling. Als je eenmaal de basis kent, kun je variaties gaan proberen. Je hoeft geen speciale kledij aan, als het maar lekker zit en je er vrij in kunt bewegen!"""

details = """
Deze donderdag 9 maart is is het socialles nr 257. Docent deze week is Paulo, hij gaat met ons aan de slag met de dans 'Zelda' en mogelijk nog wat andere bijzondere dansjes uit de balfolk.

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."""

Mazurka &#039;Legitima&#039; met Pablo Golder & Aérokorda, Een hele dag dansen in Zaandam. Eerst workshop, dan bal en als je nog niet uitgedanst was is er ’s avonds ook nog een FusionUnion social waar je met korting heen kunt als je het workshop en/of bal bezoekt!

Datum: zaterdag 11 maart; 13:00 – 19:00 (of zelfs 23:59)
Locatie: Dans Hotspot, Westzijde 71 in Zaandam
Met: Pablo Golder en Aérokorda

Workshop
13:00-15:30 Gevorderden workshop wals door Wim te Groen & Anke Veens

Bal met initiatie
15:30-16:00 - ‘spoedcursus’ wat ik op een bal verwachten met live begeleiding
16:00-17:30 - Aérokorda
17:30-19:00 - Pablo Golder
- einde bal -

Fusion Social
20:00 - 23:59 FusionUnion social met DJ Saskia en composities van Wim te Groen

Workshop beschrijving
Niveau: gevorderd / vergevorderd (je moet de wals 3-5-8 en constante rotatiesnelheid voldoende beheersen) Duur: 2,5 uur (incl. korte pauze), start om 13:00
Docenten: Anke Veens (Dancing Bodies) en Wim te Groen

Wat is er nu leuker dan walsen? Voor iedereen die de wals in de basis goed beheerst organiseren we een workshop die verder induikt op de mogelijkheden die je hebt in en met de wals, niet alleen ritmische variaties zullen aan bod komen maar ook ornamenten om je dans te versieren en interessanter te maken. Maar we zullen waar mogelijk ook verder ingaan op alle andere mogelijkheden die je met walsen hebt; al ooit gedacht aan een wals in 1 of 4, walsen op niet-walsmuziek?!

details = """
Deze donderdag 16 maart is is het socialles nr 258. Deze week geven Tessel en Xander een introductie in de Valdresspringar, een dans uit Noorwegen. Voor de leiders betekent dat koppige bokkensprongen en voor de volgers magnifiek draaiwerk! Samen leer je het beginsel van een dans die veel inspiratie biedt voor meer gebruikelijke parade dansen… Het is verstandig om gladde schoenen mee te nemen, zeker voor de volgers. Mocht je minder willen of kunnen draaien, maak je geen zorgen! Tessel en Xander leren je ook een draaiarmere variatie aan.

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."""

Eine rhythmische und verspielte Harfe, die eine „mediterrane“ Seele zeigt; ein virtuos gespielter Streichpsalter, der all seine melodischen und technischen Möglichkeiten auslotet; eine Gitarre, die von Manouche bis Rumba, von Flamenco bis Jazz zum treibenden Instrument für Experimente wird. Die drei Musiker von Lyradanz bieten frische und elegante Arrangements in einer gekonnten Darbietung voller Dynamik, Energie und charismatischer Bühnenpräsenz, die zu einer beschwingten Einbeziehung des tanzenden Publikums führt. Einer Vielzahl an Auftritten von kleinen Bühnen bis großen europäischen Folkfestivals und den zwei LPs „Un Giorno in Ballo“ und „Una Notte in Ballo“ folgt Ende 2022 nun ein neues Album, das Sie uns auf ihrer Frühjahrestour 2023 präsentieren werden.

Trio Basta
Trio Basta – Foto: Mélanie Bruneteau
Warum nicht im Oderbruch – wo morgens die Sonne über Deutschland aufgeht und im Frühjahr die Kraniche tanzen – den BalFolk voranbringen? Dachte sich das Trio Basta nach einigen Auftritten bei offenen Ateliers. Und – oh Wunder- wurde aus dem Trio ein Sextett und hatte im Herbst ’22 seine Premiere beim TFFO vor dem Trebnitzer Schloss und erfreut seither mit luftigen Arrangements und bodenständigem Groove.
Besetzung:
Corinna Lorenz: Akkordeon
Franziska Jany: Flöten
Michael Spitzer: Quintone
Ronald Rost: Gitarre
Michael Jach: Kontrabass
Silke Pätzold: Klarinette

BalFolk met Wouter Kuyper op zondagmiddag 19 maart in Enkhuizen

Het laatste Balfolk van dit seizoen 2022/2023 in Enkhuizen wordt gedaan Wouter Kuyper. Wouter Kuyper (beroepsmuzikant) speelt trekharmonica en doedelzak in verschillende formaties zoals Wouter en de Draak, BMB en Lirio, maar in Enkhuizen komt hij solo. Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met de trekharmonica en speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel zijn eigen composities. Wouter houdt van bals en van dansen en heeft in de loop der jaren een geweldig balrepertoire opgebouwd waarop heerlijk gedanst kan worden.

Ons oude vertrouwde Ad Hoc Orkest, de huisband van het Balfolk in Enkhuizen, is natuurlijk ook weer van de partij. Zij spelen traditionele balfolk muziek, veelal uit Frankrijk.

Het bal zal weer gehouden worden in hotel/restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Het bal begint zoals gebruikelijk stipt om 14:00 uur. Reserveren is niet nodig. en de entreeprijs is 7,00 euro."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 23 maart is is het socialles nr 259. Docent deze week is René. We gaan aan de slag met de bourree in twee, het vervolg. Hoe kun je 'spelen' met deze dans en je partner en wat is er qua variaties eigenlijk mogelijk behalve dan vier keer naar elkaar toe en van elkaar af en dan om elkaar heen? Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de eerdere lessen en de komende les, maar is uiteraard ook los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

17:45 - Opening bal + Kelten Zonder Grenzen
19:30 - Potluck picknick
21:00 - Wim te Groen

 


Lieve vrienden, familie en balfolkies, zoals jullie weten heb ik nogal wat te vieren: ik (Tess) ben nu (zo-goed-als-) hersteld van mijn ongeluk in 2021 en ik ben natuurlijk tijdens de pandemie afgestudeerd. Daarnaast heb ik een aantal jaren mijn verjaardag niet gevierd en vond ik het daarom tijd om er dit jaar een GROOT FEEST van te maken! Daarom een VerjaardagsStuiterBal, met (balfolk-)dansen, een potluckpicknick en livemuziek!
En dat gaat ook gebeuren: vrijdag 24 maart om 16:00 bij St. de Moira, Wolvenstraat 10, 3512 CH Utrecht.
Als je nog nooit aan balfolk hebt gedaan, zorg dan dat je er om 17:00 bent! Dan is er een balfolkintroductieworkshop, waarin je kennismaakt met het balfolkdansen wat ik o-zo-graag doe.
Het bal duurt tot 22:30 uur.
Tussendoor zal er tijd zijn om te eten. Als iedereen wat te eten en een bordje meebrengt, maken we er (zoals traditioneel bij bals in de Moira;)) een uitgebreide gezamenlijke picknick van. Neem geen drinken mee, dat is verkrijgbaar bij de bar!
Omdat dit mijn verjaardagsbal is hoeven er natuurlijk geen kaartjes gekocht te worden om de bands te betalen;). Maar.. Wil je alsjeblief wel even laten weten of je komt (en +hoeveel?)? Want: VOL=VOL!
Ben je balfolker en wil je graag komen dansen? Dan ben je van harte welkom, maar vul wel even het aanmeldingsformulier in (komt nog;))
Verder krijg ik nu best veel de vraag of ik nog wensen heb... Mijn allergrootste wens is het geven van dit feestje, dat alle lieve mensen in mijn omgeving die iets voor me betekenen komen en dat het een stuiterknalbalfeest wordt om nooit te vergeten! Dus twijfel je over wat je me wilt geven? Zorg dan dat je er bent! Verder weten jullie dat ik al teveel spullen heb, dus alsjeblieft geen materiële cadeautjes! (Althans niet voor mij – voor de konijntjes mag wel:P) Wil je me toch iets kado geven? Neem me dan met je mee op een uitje, ergens naartoe (verras me maar!)

Dearest family, friends and balfolk dancers. Like you all know I (Tess) have got a lot to celebrate right now: I am (as-good-as-completely-)recovered from my accident in 2021 and I graduated during the pandemic! Next to that I did not celebrate my birthday for a couple years, so it’s time for a BIG PARTY this year! So I organize a Birthday Ball, with (balfolk)dancing, a potluck picknick and live-music!
This will happen: Friday the 24st of March 2023, 16:00 at St. de Moira, Wolvenstraat 10, 3512 CH Utrecht.
If you’ve never had the chance to do balfolk dancing, make sure you’ll be there at 17:00! Then there is a balfolkintroduction workshop where balfolk dancing will be introduced (what I so love to do!)
The ball is finished at 22:30.
There will be time to eat dinner. If everybody brings a plate and something to eat, we will make a nice, communal potluck picknick (the way like is traditional with balls at the Moira). Don’t bring your own drinks, we have a bar!
Because this is my Birthday Ball there’s no need to buy a ticket in order to pay the band;). But, please let me know if you’re coming (and with +how many)? Because: FULL=FULL. Are you a balfolk dancer and you love to join this ball? You’re more then welcome to, but could you fill in the registration form, please? (still coming)
A lot of people ask me my what I wish for my birthday.. My greatest wish is to give this party, that all the sweet people in my environment who mean something to me will be there and that this will become a BouncingPartyBall that’s not easily forgotten! So, if you have doubts about what you could give me – Make sure you’ll be there! And, like you all know – I have too much stuff already, so please no materialistic presents (alright, not for me – for the bunnies it’s okay:P). Would you like to give me a present anyway? Please, take me somewhere out (I’ll let you surprise me;))

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 24 maart kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, op de live-muziek van Androneda, in de studio van De Doelen. 

Androneda is een Nederlandse balfolkband met Wouter Kuyper op trekzak en doedelzak, Patricia Swart op saxofoon en Lenny de Rooy met doedelzak en zang. De band speelt traditionele West-Europese dansmuziek, maar dan op een hedendaagse manier. Zij brengen grotendeels eigen composities ten gehore. De arrangementen zijn speels en spannend; de nummers energiek en swingend, maar ook regelmatig intiem, met melodieën die blijven hangen. Het centrale uitgangspunt in de muziek is altijd de dansbaarheid ervan. 

Sessie
Na het optreden van Androneda is er ruimte en mogelijkheid tot sessie spelen, dus neem vooral je instrumenten en muzikantenvrienden mee. 

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. 

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. Reserveren is fijn, zodat we weten hoe gezellig het gaat worden, maar is niet verplicht. 

Programma
20:00: Start dansuitleg
20:45: Bal met Androneda!
22:15: Start van sessie
23:00: Einde sessie
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. 

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.

details = """
Eind maart breekt de lente aan, en die brengt ons een overvloed aan nieuwe (dans)energie! Wat is dan beter dan een bal in de Junushoff met twee geweldige Franse bands?!

La Réveilleuse (‘de ontwaker’) is een energiek en lumineus duo bestaande uit Camille Lachenal (zang, clarinet) en Simon McDonell (gitaar). Zij verzorgen een bal vol levensverhalen, vrouwen en eeuwenoude bomen. De zelfgeschreven teksten van Camille, door Simon verwerkt in folkarrangementen, nodigen uit om een repertoire van originele liedjes te ontdekken, geïnspireerd door traditionele dansmuziek. Betreed de kring van vrouwen, ontmoet La Réveilleuse bij het draaien in een wals, dans een mazurka onder een kastanjeboom en verlies jezelf in het bos met een avant-deux!

Na de potluck wordt de temperatuur in de Junushoff hoog opgedreven door niemand minder dan Fahrenheit! Alexandre Sallet (diatonische accordeon/stomp box), Remi Kesteman (cello), Simon McDonnell (gitaar/banjo) en Antoine Morin (houten fluit) brengen hun ongebreidelde energie naar de dansvloer. Deze vier zijn naast magnifieke muzikanten ook nog eens sublieme zangers. Hun uiteenlopende roots (o.a. Bretons, Iers, Portugees) zorgen voor een ijzersterk repertoire, waarin traditionele muziek geweldig wordt gemengd met invloeden uit pop en elektronische muziek. Op het podium, van Gennetines tot Cadansa en in heel Bretagne, laat het volle en levendige geluid van het kwartet de dansers zweven op een vloer die oververhit is tot meer dan 96°F!
Ben je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg.


Betalen kan contant of via Tikkie.


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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

Voorlopige planning:
15:00 Dansinitiatie
16:00 La Réveilleuse
18:00 Potluck diner
19:00 Fahrenheit

name = "Socialles 260 — Bourree in 8"
details = """
Deze donderdag 30 maart is is het socialles nr 260. Docent deze week is Ria. We maken een uitstapje naar een bourree met 8 personen in een rij, de bourrée à 8 de Poisieux. Benieuwd naar deze bijzondere variatie? Meedansen kan! Deze les sluit mooi aan bij de eerdere lessen over de bourree, maar is uiteraard ook los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 6 april is het socialles nr 261. Docenten deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. We gaan de slag aan de bourree in 3, de bourree auvergne. Deze is net even anders dan de 'normale' bourree in 2 in rijtjes die we dansen, maar daarom niet minder leuk natuurlijk.

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."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 13 april is het socialles nr 262. Docent deze week is Isobel. Zij maakt met ons een uitstapje net buiten de balfolk, naar de Amerikaanse contradansen. Veel gelijkenissen met balfolk, maar toch net even anders. Benieuwd? Aansluiten kan!

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."""

 \tL'air inconnu

Dani Velasco en Sylvain Pool zijn trots en blij hun muziekproject te delen met Fabien Bucher. Fabien is onder andere bekend van Bal'o'gadjo en speelt gitaar en mandoline!

Samen zijn ze een creatief muzikaal trio. Ze maken muziek ten dienste van de moderne traditionele dans, en nieuwsgierige oren.

Hun composities en arrangementen van traditionele thema's zijn geïnspireerd door emoties en sterke sensaties die worden ervaren op bals en festivals: vreugde van ontmoeting, intieme poëzie, virulentie van geluid, energie van bewegende lichamen, collectieve trance, ...



 \tAndrea Capezzuoli

Accordeonist, zanger, doedelzakspeler, componist, arrangeur, geboren in Milaan in 1970, altijd al bezig geweest met volksmuziek. Hij was de oprichter van vele folkgroepen: in 1991 Terantiqua, met wie hij in 1994 de eerste Folkontest won die werd georganiseerd door de Folkermesse van Casale Monferrato (AL) en in hetzelfde jaar deelnam aan het prestigieuze Interceltic Festival van Lorient in Bretagne; in 1996 La Magiostra, groepslaboratorium van fusie tussen volksmuziek van verschillende oorsprong en moderne muzikale talen; in 1998 Musicanta, de eerste groep die traditionele Italiaanse muziek versmolten met Frans-Canadese klanken; in 2000 Din delòn, met wie hij half Europa toerde en twee cd's opnam.

Hij was accordeonist van de groepen Picotage (Franse muziek), 'O Calascione (muziek uit Zuid-Italië) en doedelzakspeler van de oudemuziekgroep La chambre du Roy René.

In 2006 richtte hij Andrea Capezzuoli e Compagnia op, een veelzijdig project van Italiaanse volksmuziek met besmettingen uit overzeese tradities. Met deze groep betreedt hij momenteel de schermen van de belangrijkste Italiaanse en buitenlandse festivals (Canada, Peru, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Oostenrijk, Nederland, België, Tsjechië, Spanje, Portugal, Zwitserland).

Hij is momenteel accordeonist van de formaties: BandaBrisca, Matapuexi.

Hij heeft duizend concerten op zijn naam staan, zestien opnames en deelname aan tal van radio- en televisie-uitzendingen, waaronder \"Rolling Madness\" van RAIDUE.

Hij is accordeonleraar sinds 1996 met vaste cursussen (Cremona, Canegrate, Novara, CPSM van Milaan) en privélessen. Hij geeft accordeonworkshops in Italië en in het buitenland (België, Nederland, Duitsland, Spanje, Frankrijk).

In 2012 publiceerde hij een \"Manual of Diatonic Organ\".

In 2015 maakte hij ook deel uit, in de sectie \"Organetto - Wereldmuziek\", van de jury van de prestigieuze PIF: Internationale Accordeonprijs van Castelfidardo (AN)."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 20 april is het socialles nr 263. Docent deze week is Rick. Deze week gaan we aan de gang met de wals in 5 en in 8, net even een stapje verder en anders dan de 'standaard'wals in 3. Enige kennis van de wals is mooi meegenomen, maar niet nodig om mee te kunnen doen.

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."""

Een korte lesreeks gegeven door Rian de Jong!

Van april tot juni geven we op maandagavond in de Moira een korte lesreeks. Er zijn twee lessen van een uur: een les voor beginners die bekend zijn met de basisdansen van balfolk (jig, tovercirkel, scottish, mazurka) en klaar zijn voor meer verdieping in dansen zoals de wals in drie en bourrée in twee: basis-plus dus! Verder is er een groep voor dansers die willen verbreden en verdiepen.

Deze eerste les is een proefles voor als je nog niet zeker bent of je de hele reeks mee wilt doen maar is ook de eerste les van de reeks. Aanmelden voor zowel de proefles als de lesreeks kan hier:

Inschrijformulier voor basis-plus
Inschrijfformulier voor verdiepen

Meer details volgen nog op de lessenpagina van Balfolk Utrecht. Hieronder alvast wat praktische informatie:

Lesdata:
24 april
8 mei
15 mei
22 mei
5 juni
12 juni
19 juni

Lestijden:
19.00 deur open
19.15-20.15: basis-plus
20.30-21.30: verdiepen

Prijs:
Een lesreeks kost 80 euro, of 70 euro met korting. Een losse proefles kost 10 euro; als je daarna door wil met de lessen wordt dit van je lesgeld afgetrokken. Betaling gaat contant."""

Elke dinsdag gaan we gezellig dansen. Met een verzameling van meer dan 2000 nummers en handige software waardoor iedereen gemakkelijk een dans naar keuze kan kiezen is elke avond anders maar altijd gezellig.

Deze dinsdag komen de leerlingen van Balfolk Express bij ons langs en maken we er een extra groot feest van!

 

Koffie en thee zijn gratis en iedereen is welkom om iets lekkers uit te delen. Alcohol is niet toegestaan.

Tussen 19:30 en 20:00 nemen we de tijd om beginners wat basispassen te leren of technische vragen over dansen te beantwoorden.

Praat ook mee op onze discord https://discord.gg/PzN6y73n."""

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Dansen zijn o.a. bourrée, scottish, jigue, andro, tovercirkel, wals, dubbele klappolka en nog veel meer.
De dansavonden zijn bedoeld voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er wordt tussen de dansen door korte dans-instructie verzorgd. De sfeer is ontspannen en samen plezier hebben staat voorop.
't Volkshoes heeft een zaal met houten vloer en een café met bar.
Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius (halfgevorderd)

Wals in 5 en 8 en 11? Eigenlijk zijn “onregelmatige” walsen heel regelmatig, ze zijn alleen net wat anders dan de wals in 3. In deze workshop gaan we ervan uit dat je de wals in 3 al behoorlijk kan, en gaan we aan de slag met 5, 8 en 11. Veel luisteren, voelen en dansen. In het begin misschien ook veel tellen, maar dat hopen we zo snel mogelijk ook weer los te laten, zodat het weer dansen kan worden.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

Op dinsdag 9 mei vieren wij, Murel (28 april jarig) en Dennis (5 mei jarig), samen onze verjaardag.

Omdat deze data dichtbij Beltane vallen, zouden wij het leuk vinden als mensen in de kleuren rood/wit komen.

Om 19.30 is er een workshop om o.a. de cochinchine/zotte kieken beter te leren kennen.

Er zal live muziek verzorgd worden door Duo Baftig en daarna zal gewoon de balfolk playlist aangezet worden. Eindtijd is ca.23.00 en daarna gaan we gezamenlijk opruimen met het bekende opruim nummer van Accordzeam.

Wij zorgen voor taart en jullie voor de gezelligheid. Wie dansen er met ons mee?

Tot dan, Murel en Dennis

 

Over Duo Baftig:

Manon en Robin zijn samen Duo Baftig en delen een passie voor balfolkdans en folkmuziek. Ze spelen zeer dansbare tunes op akoestische gitaar en viool. 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!

 

Praat ook mee op onze discord https://discord.gg/PzN6y73n."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 11 mei is het socialles nr 264. Docent deze week is Paulo. Hij zal voor ons de \"Branle de Noirmotier\" behandelen en uitleggen, zodat we deze fijne energieke dans goed onder de knie krijgen.

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."""

15 mei: Branle Béarnais door Saskia Sportel (alle niveaus)

Branle Béarnais, ook bekend als Branle d'Ossau, is een groep dansen uit het zuid-westen van Frankrijk. In deze workshop gaan we kennismaken met een Branle Béarnais \"en chaine\", in kettingvorm. We verkennen de impuls, passen en het groepsgevoel van deze geweldige dans. De workshop wordt gegeven door Saskia Sportel. Met jaren ervaring in dansen en doceren, en een enthousiasme voor dansen uit midden- en zuid-west Frankrijk, maakt ze haar workshops leuk en toegankelijk. Je hoeft voor deze workshop nog niet bekend te zijn met Branle Béarnais.

Branle Béarnais staat er om bekend dat het even kan duren voordat het 'klikt'. Daarom bouwen we op met verschillende passen: meer en minder simpele varianten.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

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 90 dansers.

Adres:
Veemkade 576
1019 BL Amsterdam

Band
In 2016 werden Lode Bucsan en Simon Gielen gevraagd om een balfolk te spelen in Gooik (BE). Met weinig voorbereiding begonnen ze aan hun eerste optreden, maar na afloop waren de reacties zo lovend dat ze besloten om samen verder te gaan.
Hun repertoire bestaat meestal uit dansbare neo-trad klassiekers en minder bekende composities, maar ook uit eigen composities. De nummers zijn rechttoe rechtaan gearrangeerd zonder veel poespas. Het samenspel en de energie tussen deze twee muzikanten is zeer intens en resulteert in een zeer energiek optreden.

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.

In februari hebben we ze erg gemist, dus dit bal een herkansing - en we doen er nog een flink schepje bovenop, want dit keer komt KV Express als trio spelen! KV Express is al lange tijd een muzikaal begrip, en wij zijn zeer verheugd dat ze weer bij ons komen spelen. Sophie Cavez (accordeon) en Bo Waterschoot (basgitaar) zorgen voor een fantastische en unieke groove, die ontzettend dansbaar is. De uitmuntende percussie van Alain Josué zet het energieniveau nog een extra tandje bij. Een geweldig bal is gegarandeerd!

Exqueezit bestaat uit de twee befaamde accordeonisten Bert Leemans (chromatische accordeon) en Erik de Jong (klavieraccordeon). Bert (bekend van o.a. Airboxes, EmBRUN) beschikt over een omvangrijk balfolk repertoire, terwijl Erik (o.a. Itchy Fingers, Gonnagles) meester is in Schotse en Ierse muziek. De exquisiete combinatie van deze muziekstijlen is geweldig om op te dansen en naar te luisteren. Op Cadansa en de Dansstage stalen ze al de show, in mei mogen we in de Junushoff van ze genieten!

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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

Voorlopige planning:

15:00 Dansinitiatie
16:00 Exqueezit
18:00 Potluck diner
19:00 KV Express

22 mei: Mazurka (basis) door Louise Marius (beginners/begonners)

De mazurka, een hele fijne dans die veel op bals wordt gedanst, maar die vaak in het begin ook wel lastig is. In deze workshop legt Louise op een heldere en speelse manier de basis van de mazurka uit, gaan we veel oefenen met verschillende danspartners, waardoor je daarna een heel stuk makkelijker de dansvloer op kan. Ook de danshouding en connectie zal een belangrijk onderdeel zijn van deze workshop.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

name = "Socialles 265 — Balfolk a la salsa"
details = """
Deze donderdag 25 mei is het socialles nr 265. Docent deze week is Fulco. Hij maakt met ons een uitstapje naar een fijne combinatie van salsa en balfolk. Genoeg uit te proberen met variaties in bijvoorbeeld scottish, en wie weet zelfs een Cubaanse versie van een cirkeldans met een 'Rueda a la balfolk'. Ervaring met balfolk of salsa is niet nodig, meedansen kan altijd.

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."""

Foto: Javallon
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.
Mal dominiert dabei die durchdringende, treibende Drehleier, mal beflügelt das variationsreiche Zwiegespräch zwischen Geige und Akkordeon die Tänzer, und wer noch immer zögert, den lockt eine klare Stimme zum An Dro.
Jeannette Klein: Drehleier, Stimme
Dirk Niemeier:  5-saitige Geige
Herman Waldner: Akkordeon
JB (Frankreich)
JB – Foto: Jacques Malnou
J.B. und sein chromatisches Akkordeon zum BalFolk Abend – und das Glück der Tänzer* innen ist perfekt! Schon die ersten Takte des Meisters der beschwingten und bezaubernden Melodien werden Tänzer*innen mobilisieren. Mit seinem virtuosen Spiel und seinen kreativen Rhythmisierungen des „Nouveau Balfolk“ entführt er uns in eine zauberhafte französische BalFolk Nacht. Ein hypnotisierender Walzer, ein swingender Scottish, eine sanfte Mazurka gehen nach einem wirbelnden Cercle Circassien oder einer fetzig-flirtigen Chapelloise auch noch ein weiteres Mal…?

29 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 en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

name = "Socialles 266 — Sept sautes and Sautes Basques"
details = """
Deze donderdag 1 juni mei is het socialles nr 266. Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. Zij gaan samen met ons aan de slag met de Sept Sautes (Zevensprong), aangevuld met mogelijk nog andere relatief eenvoudige Sautes Basques.

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."""

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 2 juni kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen is Laouen! 

Laouen
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.

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
20:00: Start dansuitleg
21:00: Bal!
23:00: 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.

5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever (half gevorderd)

Amber danst al sinds 2001; van klassiek ballet tot street dance, ballroom tot balfolk en West-Europees tot Scandinavisch. Amber heeft een jaar lang in Zweden gestudeerd aan het Eric Sahlström Institutet voor volksdans en -muziek en neemt graag iedereen mee op reis via de dansen en de muziek uit Zweden.

Deze twee lessen (5 en 26 juni) gaan wij aan de slag met de Polska. De ene keer gaan we werken aan een goede basis, hoe zet je een draai in, en hoe kom je daar eigenlijk uit? De andere keer zullen we gaan kijken naar twee variaties die Amber zelf graag danst maar mogelijk niet vaak te zien zijn op de dansvloer. Oftewel, Polska zonder de typische \"polska draai\".

Voor Polska deel 1 is geen voorkennis noodzakelijk, de polska is echter geen makkelijke dans, dus het is fijn als je al wel wat ervaring hebt met dansen en dansles of workshops volgen. Voor Polska deel 2 is het fijn als je al eerder polska hebt geleerd, het is niet erg als je de draai nog niet helemaal beheerst.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

name = "Socialles 267 — Kost ar choad & gavotte de montagne"
details = """
Deze donderdag 8 juni mei is het socialles nr 268. Docent deze week zijn Leon en Claudia. Dit keer is de beurt aan de kost-ar-choad en de gavotte de montagne, allebei fijn energieke dansjes.

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."""

name = "Zomerbal in Leiden"
details = """
Er kan gedanst worden in Leiden! Dit zomerbal komen Paracetamol en Jeroen Laureyssens voor ons spelen.

Jeroen Laureyssens
Jeroen Laureyssens is een multi-getalenteerde Belgische diatonische accordeon speler. Hij speelde al op zesjarige leeftijd muziek en komt uit een muzikale familie. Musiceren, bijzondere composities maken en improvisatie zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van zijn muzikale leven. Hij speelt onder andere in Les Frères d’Eeckère, Duo Brabants-Laureyssens, Cosmo en The Quest, maar deze keer komt hij solo spelen.

Paracetamol
Paracetamol speelt balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz loopjes klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest, CaDansa en Le Son Continu. Naast bals speelde Paracetamol een concerttour langs karakteristieke kerkjes in Noord Nederland. Inmiddels heeft Paracetamol een debuutalbum vol eigen composities. Rob Zantkuijl speelt doedelzakken, saxofoon, fluiten en zang, met Nico Beltman op viool, fluiten, doedelzakken en zang, Jan Willem Veenhuis op gitaren, percussie, zang en Gyöngyi Kovács op contrabas en zang.

Programma
Het programma voor het bal ziet er als volgt uit:
18.00 - 19.00: dansuitleg
19.00 - 22.00: Bal!
22.00 - 22.30: Afsluiten en opruimen

Toegang
Toegang tot het bal kost 20 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."""

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.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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 15 juni is het socialles nr 268. Docent deze week is Leo. We gaan aan de slag met de Gavotte de Grenoble, ook wel bekend als de Gavotte de l'aven, met een korte terugblik naar de geschiedenis daarvan, de dans zelf en natuurlijk ook wat variaties.

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

TriOblique

Het is door de ontmoeting rond Ierse muziek dat deze drie muzikanten besloten samen te komen. Om de wereld te laten dansen, op en neer en vooral dwars.

TriOblique is de subtiele (of niet!), vermenging van het muziekspel van Susanna Roncallo (gitaar), Aurélien Congrega (Ierse Bouzouki en zang) en Dario Gisotti (Uillean Pipe en fluiten), de kronkelende paden van de ene stijl nemend voor een diagonale sprong naar de stijl van de andere, over velden, door bossen, het verkennen van geluiden die van Genua naar Ierland gaan, van funk tot traditionele zang uit het noorden van Bretagne, van delicate fingerpicking tot goede rockakkoorden, van instrumenten tot zang, van pure traditie tot de versmelting van genres, met het vreugdevolle verlangen om te bewegen de lichamen in een verfijnde mazurka, of in een waanzinnige Kost Ar Choat!

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

Zodoende gaan wij deze avond de Branle de la fosse aux loups doornemen, een goede basis leggen voor (cirkel)bourrée’s en, als de tijd het toelaat, misschien Branle d’Ecosse leren.
Ervaring of kennis is niet nodig, we zullen het niveau aan de groep aanpassen.

19 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 en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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 22 juni is het socialles nr 269. Docent deze week is Marcel. Het thema deze week is de Rondeau, te dansen in diverse vormen, zowel met z'n tweeën als met een groep.

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."""

Dit jaar vieren we de eerste jubileumeditie van Dennefeest. Ons mooie balfolkfeestje in Hoessenbosch bestaat alweer 10 jaar! En dat gaan we uiteraard vieren. We hopen al onze vaste gasten, maar ook heel veel nieuwe gasten te mogen verwelkomen op dit fijne feestje. Onze vrijwilligers staan weer voor je klaar met heerlijke drankjes, taartjes en een heerlijk diner.
Qua line up denken we dat we flink hebben uitgepakt dit jaar, maar dat moet natuurlijk ook als je jarig bent.
We gaan dit jaar dansen op de muziek van:

Marie Paulette
Olivier Gribouille
Qui Vive
Vandiekomsa
Duo Clercx
Tribal Jaze

Kaartjes zijn in de voorverkoop goedkoper dan aan de kassa. Voor ons fijn om te weten hoeveel mensen er komen, voor jou als bezoeker fijn dat je geld bespaart :)

Uiteraard bieden wij ook weer een leuke workshop aan. Deze start om 11.30 en duurt tot 12.30/13.00u. Deze workshop is inclusief lunch.

Om 14u start het bal wat duurt tot 24.00u. Je ziet dan alle 6 onze bands en kunt gebruik maken van onze dansfaciliteiten. Rond 18u serveren wij een diner, dit zit niet bij het kaartje in.

Als je het leuk vindt om te blijven overnachten kan dan ook, op onze eigen camping. Koop je kaartje snel, want er is maar een beperkt aanbod. Een kampeerticket is inclusief ontbijt.

Voor de bezoeker die met het OV komt bieden we ook weer een pendeldienst aan. Hou daarvoor onze facebookpagina in de gaten."""

5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever (half gevorderd)

Amber danst al sinds 2001; van klassiek ballet tot street dance, ballroom tot balfolk en West-Europees tot Scandinavisch. Amber heeft een jaar lang in Zweden gestudeerd aan het Eric Sahlström Institutet voor volksdans en -muziek en neemt graag iedereen mee op reis via de dansen en de muziek uit Zweden.

Deze twee lessen (5 en 26 juni) gaan wij aan de slag met de Polska. De ene keer gaan we werken aan een goede basis, hoe zet je een draai in, en hoe kom je daar eigenlijk uit? De andere keer zullen we gaan kijken naar twee variaties die Amber zelf graag danst maar mogelijk niet vaak te zien zijn op de dansvloer. Oftewel, Polska zonder de typische \"polska draai\".

Voor Polska deel 1 is geen voorkennis noodzakelijk, de polska is echter geen makkelijke dans, dus het is fijn als je al wel wat ervaring hebt met dansen en dansles of workshops volgen. Voor Polska deel 2 is het fijn als je al eerder polska hebt geleerd, het is niet erg als je de draai nog niet helemaal beheerst.

Workshops op maandagavonden door Louise en gastdocenten

Van 8 mei t/m 3 juli organiseert Louise in Nijmegen Lent 10 workshops van 2,5 uur, elk met een ander thema, sommige voor beginners/begonners, sommige voor meer gevorderde dansers en een aantal voor alle niveaus. Zo komt Saskia Sportel een workshop Branle Béarnais geven, en Amber Lynn 2 workshops over de Polska. Daarnaast geeft Louise een aantal workshops, Onregelmatige walsen, de basis van de Mazurka, Poitou, Bretons, Congo en een workshop met blinddoeken.

Het programma:

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

8 mei: Onregelmatige walsen door Louise Marius
15 mei: Branle béarnais door Saskia Sportel
22 mei: Mazurka basis door Louise Marius
29 mei: Bretonse rij- en kringdansen door Louise Marius
5 juni: Polska deel 1 door Amber Lynn Wever
12 juni: Blinddoeken door Louise Marius
19 juni: Congo de Captieux door Louise Marius
26 juni: Polska deel 2 door Amber Lynn Wever
3 juli: Poitou door Louise Marius

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."""

name = "Socialles 270 — Mazurka"
details = """
Deze donderdag 29 juni is het socialles nr 270. Docent deze week is René, die met ons in de mazurka zal duiken. Hoe de les precies vormgegeven zal worden, zal afhangen van de samenstelling van de groep zelf. Ideeën of vragen altijd welkom!

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."""

——
Liebe Freunde der Bourrée Tänze
speziell für euch, die ihr nicht genug davon bekommen könnt
– jetzt gibt es gehörig Futter:
Bourrée -Workshop (für Leute die die Grundschritte beherrschen!)

Sonntag, den 2. Juli 2023 von 12-17 Uhr in der OASE 
Oase: Prinzenallee 58, 13359 Berlin (oberhalb der Bornholmer Strasse)
– durchgehen bis in den zweiten Innenhof, dann große Terassentür rechts (metallene Außentreppe) –
 
Die Bourrées sieht man bei uns zumeist als Paartanz und nur in wenigen Variationen.
Die Freude wächst natürlich erheblich, wenn man sich mit den zahlreichen Variationen der Bourrées beschäftigt.
Wir möchten euch zu einem kleinen Workshop einladen,
um kompliziertere Choreografien in Gruppen zu dritt, zu viert oder in Reihen zu üben.
Das macht mächtig Spaß und bringt das Gehirn auf Trab.
Wir denken da an Tänze, wie

Bourrée planiere
Bourrée de Sarsay
Grand Poterie (zu viert, kreuzweise)
Les Moutons
Chapelotte
Petronella Banana
Bourrée de La Chatre
Bourrée carée de St. Chartier
Bourrée des Dindesdie wir jedoch nicht alle an einem Termin behandeln können.  

Wir sehen diesen Workshop als einen ersten Einstieg in diese Welt an.
Gebühren:
Wir planen einfach einen Hut bereitzuhalten,
in den ihr entsprechend eurer Euphorie Anerkennung zollen könnt."""

Feather and Fox – Foto: Maciej Sowilski
Feather and Fox ist ein belgisch-deutsches Balfolk Duo. Victor und Christiane lernten sich in einem Berliner Sommer am Spreeufer kennen. Von Beginn an spielt das Duo für Tänzer:innen und lässt sich von deren Energie inspirieren. Verspielt und feinfühlig erkunden sie die Klangmöglichkeiten im Zusammenspiel der zwölf Saiten von Mandoline und Cello und kreieren damit einen einzigartigen Klang, zugleich federleicht und energiegetrieben.

details = """
Deze donderdag 6 juli is het socialles nr 271, de laatste van dit seizoen. We sluiten af met Rick en Noelia als docenten, maar het thema en de dansjes die we gaan doen, mogen jullie bepalen! Nog even een fijne samenvatting of herhaling van het afgelopen seizoen voor we de zomer in gaan. Verzoekjes tevoren? Neem even contact met ons op via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, dan kijken we of we dat kunnen doen.

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."""

Tijdens Castlefest komt de groep Plantec uit Bretagne spelen! Deze band speelt een aantal minder bekende dansen en daarom lijkt het ons leuk én leerzaam om hiervoor een oefenavond te organiseren.

Leo Visser zal op 7 juli aanwezig zijn bij Balfolk Zeist om samen met jullie door een aantal van deze minder bekende dansen van Plantec te gaan. Zo kijken we deze avond in ieder geval naar de dans Gavotte in verschillende varianten (waaronder de Fisel). We zullen vooral kijken naar versies die makkelijk aan te leren en te dansen zijn. Deze versies bevatten misschien niet alle details van de volledige dans, maar je zult genoeg handvatten mee krijgen om mee te kunnen doen tijdens het optreden van Plantec! Daarnaast kijken we ook nog naar de avant-deux de travers. Als er nog tijd over is, kunnen we de kas ha bahr doornemen. Tenslotte zullen jullie ook een aantal handige tips krijgen over welke bekendere dansen ook gedanst kunnen worden op bepaalde nummers van Plantec.

Reserveren of aanmelden is niet nodig.
Hopelijk zien we jullie allemaal op 7 juli!

Het balfolkseizoen in Zuid-Holland wordt afgesloten met een zomers sessiebal op zaterdag 8 juli. Deze keer met een nieuw concept, een bal gecombineerd met een open podium: pak jouw eigen 15 minutes of fame! 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. Dat kun je hier doen: https://forms.gle/CYpijVRznPW3J2V66
Lukt dat niet? Mail dan naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com jouw naam en welk muziekinstrument jij en je eventuele mede-muzikant(en)spelen.

Bal
Behalve het open podium, komt er ook nog een band live voor ons spelen, namelijk Duo Baftig! Dit duo bestaat uit Manon op viool en Robin op gitaar. Dit duo, met een gedeelde passie voor balfolk en folk muziek speelt meer dan dansbare tunes, een verrassende mix tussen Ierse en Scandinavische melodieën, maar ook eigen composities.

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 met Baftig
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.

Meer informatie
Voor de zevende keer in successie vindt het gratis toegankelijke ZaanFolk Festival plaats in het Wilhelminapark in Wormerveer (’s middags) en in dichtbij het park gelegen café De Melterij (’s avonds).
Dit jaar vindt het festival plaats op zaterdag 15 juli, van 13.00 uur ’s middags tot middernacht.
De nadruk van het festival ligt om muziekgroepen en solisten die uit de regio komen. Om de ontwikkeling en instandhouding van de folkmuziek in de Zaanstreek en omgeving gestalte te geven.
Het programma omvat ook dit jaar een hoofdpodium, een kleiner – open – podium en een balfolk podium. En er wordt gezorgd voor kindervertier en voor muziek op onverwachte plekken.
De eerste namen kunnen al bekend worden gemaakt: The Old Time String Band en De Band Zonder Toekomst treden aan. Beiden speelden met veel succes al op eerdere edities van het ZaanFolk Festival.
Het toegang is gratis, maar een vrijwillige bijdrage wordt erg op prijs gesteld. Daarvoor worden kaartjes uitgedeeld waarmee een donatie naar keuze kan worden gedaan. Belangrijk voor de instandhouding van het festival!

Tijdens Castlefest komt de groep Plantec uit Bretagne spelen! Deze band speelt een aantal minder bekende dansen en daarom lijkt het ons leuk én leerzaam om hiervoor nog een oefenavond te organiseren. Leo Visser zal op 28 juli nog een workshop geven bij Balfolk Zeist om door een aantal van deze minder bekende dansen van Plantec te gaan. Zo kijken we deze avond in ieder geval naar de dans Gavotte in verschillende varianten (waaronder de Fisel) en mogelijk ook de Laride Gavotte. We zullen vooral kijken naar versies die makkelijk aan te leren en te dansen zijn. Deze versies bevatten misschien niet alle details van de volledige dans, maar je zult genoeg handvatten mee krijgen om mee te kunnen doen tijdens het optreden van Plantec! Deze workshop is het vervolg op de workshop van 7 juli. Het is niet noodzakelijk dat je deze eerdere workshop hebt gevolgd. Iedereen is welkom en het niveau van de workshop zal aangepast worden op de groep. Hopelijk zien we jullie allemaal op 28 juli!

Vaganto è un quintetto folk della provincia di Belluno che suona musica per danze folk Europee.\r
Il concerto è un percorso di sonorità nel mondo dei balli e dei canti popolari: in esperanto Vaganto significa \"viandante\" e l'idea è proprio quella di un viaggio musicale dalle danze balcaniche al klezmer, la musica degli ebrei europei di lingua yiddish, dai canti bretoni alla troika russa fino alle danze scandinave, come le polske svedes"""

Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom.
Hieraan zijn geen kosten verbonden. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.

Boombalfestival komt er weer aan! En natuurlijk wil je daar alle dansen direct mee doen en niet de kat uit de boombalfestival kijken. Om je daar in te helpen bieden wij een aantal workshops aan.

Deze vrijdag neemt Stefan jullie muzikaal mee naar Gascogne voor dansen met een lekker opwaartse bounce die je o.a. bij Man Encantada en Lyradanz zult horen.

 

Reserveren of aanmelden is niet nodig.
Hopelijk zien we jullie allemaal op 18 augustus!

De seizoensopening van de sociallessen in Rotterdam, voor seizoen 2023-2024, in tangoschool Cuartito Azul. De band die komt spelen is Stockholm Syndrome. En natuurlijk bieden we ook ruimte voor muzikanten om sessie te spelen, dus nodig gerust muzikantenvrienden uit en vergeet niet je muziekinstrument mee te nemen als je zelf speelt.

Stockholm Syndrome
Stockholm Syndrome bestaat uit Judith Be (viool) en Sebastiaan West (piano, accordeon). Ze spelen heerlijke balfolkmuziek met een lekker dosis Zweedse vibes. Hun sound wordt alom gewaardeerd.
Judith Be is op haar zevende begonnen met klassiek vioolspelen, maar leerde al snel de Ierse volksmuziek kennen. Ze heeft deelgenomen aan veel cursussen en zomerkampen op het gebied van volksmuziek en wereldmuziek, waar ze kennis heeft gemaakt met veel verschillende muziekstijlen. In 2019 is ze naar Zweden gegaan om daar een opleiding te doen in de Zweedse volksmuziek.
Sebastiaan West speelt zijn hele leven al piano en is de afgelopen jaren verliefd geworden op de accordeon, en vooral op de Ierse accordeonstijl. Hij is opgegroeid in Vermont, waar hij deel uitmaakte van een rijke en multiculturele gemeenschap van volksmuzikanten, bestaand uit Ierse, Queceboise, Schotse, en Amerikaanse tradities; in deze gemeenschap heeft hij leren samenspelen en luisteren.

Programma
17.00 – 18.00: Picknick
18.00 – 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 – 20.30: Bal!
20.30 – 22.30: Sessie

Sessie
Ook deze keer is er, zoals je inmiddels van ons gewend bent in Rotterdam, weer genoeg ruimte voor een sessie, dus neem je muziekinstrument en muzikantenvrienden mee! Uiteraard is er ook tijdens de sessie volop ruimte om te dansen.

Picknick
De picknick wordt door de bezoekers zelf geregeld: ieder neemt voor zichzelf en één of twee anderen wat lekkers te eten mee en dat wordt op één grote tafel neergezet, waarbij iedereen iets kan pakken. Wij zorgen voor gratis kannen water. Vergeet niet je eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen (en ook weer terug mee naar huis te nemen). Bij Cuartito Azul kan afgewassen worden, dus plastic bordjes en bestek zijn niet per se nodig.

Prijs
De toegang tot het bal inclusief picknick, dansuitleg en de sessie kost 10 euro per persoon. Dit kun je aan de deur cash bij ons betalen, pinnen is niet mogelijk.

Reserveren
We vinden het fijn als je even laat weten dat je komt, dus vergeet niet te reserveren."""

Op 5 september is de proefles voor het volgen van de lessen bij Balfolk Express. Van 5 september tot en met 30 januari zal er wekelijks les zijn op dinsdagavond.

Voor meer informatie en aanmelden: www.balfolkexpress.nl/lessen 

Groep 1: Getting into Balfolk

In deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.

Deze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.













Groep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey

In groep 2 gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.

Het doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.

Voor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.

\r
Imperdibile appuntamento con i talentuosi Naragonia, \r
duo di straordinaria bravura che ci farà sognare con la sua incantevole musica!\r
\r
Pascale Rubens e Toon Van Mierlo confezionano gioielli musicali godibili tanto dai ballerini quanto da chi vuole semplicemente ascoltare musica folk interpretata ai massimi livelli.\r
\r
È qualità pura, meravigliosa musica da ballo suonata in modo intimo. La loro musica è un vero piacere da ascoltare o da ballare. Favolosa l’interazione tra i due musicisti, intensi i duetti tra organetti...\r
\r
Arrivano dal Belgio e il prossimo dicembre festeggeranno 20 anni di carriera!  😍 \r

Pascale Rubens: organetto diatonico, voce, violino\r

ACOUSTIC BALFOLK BAND\r
\r
\r
Sono il gruppo vincitore del premio Burnelli al Reno Folk Festival 2023, un gruppo emergente che ci ha piacevolmente sorpreso per la sua grande energia e talento.\r
\r
I Karamaus sono quattro giovani ed eclettici musicisti che propongono un repertorio ispirato al folk néo-trad.\r
\r
Il gruppo raccoglie l’eredità della musica folk europea, pur contaminandola con differenti linguaggi musicali.\r
\r
La formazione è composta da Organetto, Clarinetto, Chitarra e Violino, suonati unendo anima e saperi per concedere al pubblico la migliore esperienza musicale.\r
\r
Il repertorio è quasi interamente composto da pezzi inediti, alcuni dei quali già pubblicati nelle principali piattaforme musicali. \r
...per buoni intenditori! 👌\r

❤️ DANZE DI COPPIA, UN’EMOZIONE CONDIVISA ❤️\r
\r
SABATO 9 SETTEMBRE\r
🔸 Ore 16.00 - 19.00 🔸\r
\r
\r
Una full immersion nelle Danze di Coppia folk sulle incantevoli melodie dei Naragonia!\r
(https://open.spotify.com/artist/5EIwsc7Yjljcg47idONrAg)\r
SCOTTISH intriganti e gustosi, MAZURKE intime e avvolgenti, POLKE incalzanti e piene di brio…\r
\r
INCONTRARSI nel ballo è un’esperienza appassionante che mette in moto una miriade di sensazioni e permette un DIALOGO sensibile, fatto di ascolto, rispetto, fiducia.\r
\r
GIOCHEREMO con il ritmo sul tempo e nello spazio , provando passi, accenti, sospensioni…\r
Ma soprattutto sperimenteremo la sorpresa e la gioia di poter condividere l’emozione del ballo con chi, come noi, sente l’IRRESISTIBILE RICHIAMO della musica che ‘muove e com-muove’.\r
\r
Oltre alle basi tecniche verranno date indicazioni semplici e intuitive per personalizzare e RENDERE UNICO il nostro ballo, variando sul ritmo e sulla suggestione melodica.\r
\r
Tutto questo in una dimensione accogliente e gioiosa, dove lasceremo che la musica ci guidi nella SOTTILE ALCHIMIA TRA IL SÉ ED IL NOI.\r

\r
DOMENICA 10 SETTEMBRE\r
🔸 Ore 16.00 - 19.00 🔸\r
\r
\r
Un pomeriggio insieme per scoprire le sorprendenti dinamiche dei VALZER IRREGOLARI.\r
3!…5!…8!… non è matematica, ma un intrigante GIOCO di equilibri e sospensioni sulla fluttuante rotazione del Valzer!\r
\r
Pian pianino, e CON NATURALEZZA, entreremo in questa curiosa dimensione.\r
Prima sperimentando da soli questi ritmi inusuali, bilanciando in sintonia con la musica.\r
Poi in coppia: presenti, connessi, coinvolti nell’ascolto reciproco. Un interloquire sensibile dove guidare e seguire si fonderanno con semplicità TRA TECNICA E CUORE.\r
\r
Proveremo anche qualche VARIANTE RITMICA, spesso suggerita dalla musica stessa!\r
\r
Sarà un piacere ascoltare e LASCIARSI TRASPORTARE dalle splendide melodie di questi valzer… e la sera, sulle irresistibili note dei Karamaus, voleremo altissimi!\r

🧡 ANNA PAGANINI 🧡\r
\r
 Il curriculum è lungo e ricco, ma ci basta dire che Anna balla da molti anni con gusto e passione, frequentando festival e stage con i migliori maestri e testimoni della più autentica tradizione popolare. \r
\r
Con la stessa passione, con accurata metodologia e un grande studio, ama trasmettere quello che ha appreso e che ogni giorno condivide con le persone che incontra ai corsi, ai concerti, alle serate di ballo. \r
\r
Questi ingredienti, entusiasmo e competenza, permettono di vivere degli incontri molto coinvolgenti, oltre che arricchenti. 🤗\r

🌼 BENVENUTO A CHI NON HA MAI BALLATO PRIMA 🌼 \r
\r
\r
I balli folk sono un fenomeno che si sta espandendo in Italia e in Europa in modo sempre più diffuso soprattutto fra i giovani. \r
\r
Non sono danze in costume, non è il liscio e neanche il country!! E' semplicità, musica, sorrisi e... FESTA! 🤗\r
\r

(FR) => www.creactiviste.fr/2018/09/10-bonnes-raisons-de-se-mettre-bal-folk \r
\r
Nelle danze popolari si unisce il passato al presente, si conosce il proprio corpo, si mette in moto la propria espressività, si parla con il gruppo senza usare le parole.\r
\r
Ci sono balli che celebrano particolari momenti della vita e danzandoli si toccano corde della propria anima che vengono guarite.\r
\r
E’ un modo bellissimo di rimanere nel “qui ed ora” e di acquietare la mente. E’ una vera e propria meditazione! Un inno alla vita! 🤗\r

Wil je balfolk leren dansen? Kom naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam. Met live begeleiding door Wouter Kuyper.
<<Koop hier je ticket>>
Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?
Lesdata

Inspiriert von der traditionellen europäischen Musik, hat Hartwin seinen eigenen Stil entwickelt. Mit verschiedenen Bands und Projekten tritt er in ganz Europa, Kanada und den USA auf und hat mit seinen Eigenkompositionen ein breites Publikum gefunden.
Sein erstes Soloalbum „Waterman“ enthält zehn Sätze feiner Melodien, die er auf eine zarte, aber berührende Weise spielt. Sie spiegeln die Symbiose von Hartwin und seinem Akkordeon wider; ein Ergebnis des jahrelangen Musizierens und Schaffens.
Im Herbst stellt er sein neues Album „Dance Tunes“ vor.

details = """
Deze donderdag 14 september is het socialles nr 273. Het thema van deze socialles is de tovercirkel. Natuurlijk ook de basis, maar wat kun je er nog meer mee als je die onder de knie hebt? Hoe zit dat met die verschillende draaihoudingen en valt er nog meer leuks uit te halen met z'n allen? Docent deze week is Noelia.

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."""

Het is tijd voor wat extra variatie op de dansvloer! We gaan leuke en simpele mixers leren. De mixers passen op bekende muziek zoals scottishes, walsen, polkas, gigues en reels.

Deze dansen zijn laagdrempelig, maar het is wel handig als je al de basis van de scottish, polka en wals kent. We gaan kijken naar de stappen, choreografie en een vleugje veiligheid op de dansvloer.

Over de docent:

Dina is van oorsprong Russisch, maar heeft door heel Europa gedanst. In haar reizen heeft ze een brede ervaring opgebouwd met vooral een grote liefde voor Bretonse dansen. Haar energie en enthousiasme werken aanstekelijk en brengen iedereen in beweging.

Wil je balfolk leren dansen? In september 2023 start er weer een nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.
<<Boek hier de lessen>>
Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen. Aan bod komen o.a.: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we oefenen een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen o.a. de wals, mazurka, bourree in 2, rondeau-en-couple en meer Bretonse dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We gaan in op moeilijker en minder bekende dansen. Daarnaast gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Hoe houd je contact in de bourree in 3?
Lessen
De serie lessen bestaat uit 10 lessen op de woensdagavond. Er is iedere week les van 20 september t/m 29 november. Op 25 oktober is er geen les. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal op 6 december.
De kosten voor de reeks van 10 lessen bedraagt € 110,-. Je kunt ook twee groepen tegelijk volgen, bijvoorbeeld 1 en 2 of 2 en 3. De kosten zijn dan € 185,-.
Je schrijft je in voor de serie lessen via de website https://balfolkamsterdam.nl.
Tijdstippen
18.45 Deur open
19.00 Groep 1 (beginners)
19:45 Tussenprogramma, ook voor andere groepen
20.15 Groep 2 (begonners)
21.00 Groep 3 (verder leren)

Docenten
De lessen worden gegeven in het Nederlands door Berend, Gepke, Frans, Manon, Jason en Erno.
Kleding
Kleding is bij balfolk vrij. Draag makkelijke kleding. In de leszaal mag je niet naar binnen met schoenen die je ook buiten draagt. Beginnende dansers dansen vaak op sokken of blote voeten. Schoenen met een zachte zool die niet afgeeft kunnen ook. Laat ze even zien aan ons."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 21 september is het socialles nr 274. Het thema deze week is de jig of gigue. Een fijne groepsdans, waar nogal wat variaties in mogelijk zijn. Deze les is de basis aan bod, gevolgd door een aantal relatief eenvoudige variaties, zodat je net wat meer kunt dan alleen een enkele draai met z'n tweeën. Voor degenen die de dans al onder de knie hebben, wat dacht je van deze keer eens van rol wisselen? Volgende week volgt het vervolg op deze les, met extra verdieping. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen. De les wordt gegeven door Rick.

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

 \tEmily & The Simons

Emily & the Simons is een Brits-Belgisch Balfolk-trio. Ze ontmoetten elkaar in het Engelse Peak District, op het folkfestival \"Skint\" en begonnen kort daarna samen professioneel op te treden. Hun muziek is gecentreerd rond de composities van Emily, geïnspireerd door ontmoetingen in het leven en de energie van de dansvloer.

Hun stijl is zeer expressief en improvisatorisch, vol passie, tederheid en speelsheid. Met een breed repertoire, variërend van verfijnde, sensuele mazurka's tot vrolijke, stuwende bourrées, vervoert hun muziek de verbeelding, beweegt de voeten en verheft de geest.

 \tPFM!

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

Met veel plezier wordt je uitgenodigd voor Skeer! Skeer wordt dit jaar voor de 2e keer georganiseerd.
Een warm, portemonneevriendelijk, co-creatief internationaal (folk) muziek- en dansweekend.
Een weekend vol opzwepende muziek, zwierende dansjes, tedere dwaasheid, verbinding en plezier.
Voor wie? Voor iedereen die zin heeft plezier te maken met muziek en dans. Balfolkies en niet-balfolkies. Ervaren of onervaren.

Het is een evenement voor en door alle deelnemers.
Heb je zin een uitleg te krijgen? Die kan worden gegeven.
Heb je zin een uitleg te geven? Geef dat dan aan in het opgaveformulier.



Co-creativiteit
Skeer is een (folks) muziek- en dansweekend. Een weekend om samen lekker te dansen, muziek te maken en er een gezellige tijd van te maken. Samen zorgen we voor muziek, workshops, eten en schoonmaken. Overdag leren we elkaar de tips en tricks van toffe dansjes, muziek, liedjes en..., en 's avonds dansen en jammen we tot we er bij neervallen.
Workshops
Voel je vrij om ons de basis van bijvoorbeeld capoeira, polyritme of tango te leren. Laat je innerlijke tradpolitie los en leer ons hoe je die Gavotte des Montange of de Bourrée Auvergnate echt hoort te dansen (of geef een introductie in de basis). Doe eens gek en zing met iemand anders dan je stuk zeep onder de douche en doe mee aan een workshop over zangharmonieën en canons. En voel je vooral niet verplicht om een workshop te geven!
Wij hebben er enorm zin in!
Op de website van Skeer vind je meer informatie en een link om je aan te melden.


Extra informatie

Het festival wordt in de basis gedragen door vrijwilligers, waaronder de muzikanten. Het programma (met band) wordt later gepubliceerd."""

19:00 Uhr – Tanzworkshop mit Thomas Römer
20:00 Uhr – Bal
Eintritt: 20 Euro regulär, 12 Euro ermäßigt * (inkl. Workshop)

Copyright: Folkinger
Immer noch und immer wieder!
Musik aus europäischen und nahöstlichen Gefilden
mit stetig wachsendem Wurzelwerk
ganz und gar ohr-, herz- und beingängig.
Das dynamische Zusammenspiel von Akkordeon, Geige, Klarinette/Saxophon, Kontrabass und Schlagzeug, prägt den treibenden Sound der Band und dies schon seit über drei Jahrzehnten
auf kleinen und großen Bühnen. Traditionelle Tanzstücke mit eigenen Arrangements sowie Eigenkompositionen bilden das Repertoire, lassen euch über den Boden schweben, als Einzelne im Kreis, als Paar oder fischbar an der Tischbar.
Nur hör’n und kiek’n darf och sein!
Unter der Anleitung des ‚Tanzmeisters‘ wird generationsübergreifend getanzt, mal feurig, mal cool,
mit Hingabe oder völlig losgelöst!

details = """
Deze donderdag 28 september is het socialles nr 275. Deze week gaan we verder met de jig of gigue. We gaan wat verder in op connectie met partner en groep en kijken naar nog meer variaties met elkaar. Heb je deze dans al onder de knie? Kijk dan eens of je van rol kunt wisselen (misschien zelfs wel tijdens het dansen... ). Deze les is het vervolg op die van vorige week, maar beiden zijn los van elkaar te volgen. Docent deze week is Noelia.

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."""

details = """
Op vrijdag 29 september zullen we bezig gaan met muzikaliteit bij Balfolk Zeist! Aljosha Filippov geeft in oktober 2 workshops over muzikaliteit op het Cenizas festival in Madrid. Wij krijgen bij Balfolk Zeist de eer om ze als eerste te volgen!
Tijdens deze tweede workshop zullen we aan de slag gaan met dansen op de backbeat, ofwel tegentijds dansen. Dit is een interessant, maar soms ook een lastig concept uit de muziektheorie. We zullen deze theorie behandelen aan de hand van een aantal traditionele dansen (pilé menu, rond de Loudeac, branle d'ossau, saut/jautzi, afhankelijk van het kennisniveau in de groep). Hierbij zullen we vooral de betekenis van de backbeat voor de dans en dansers analyseren. Vervolgens kunnen we deze analyse gebruiken om de dans te veranderen en de muziek op een nieuwe manier te interpreteren!
De workshop is gericht op dansers zonder (veel) muziekopleiding, maar als muzikant kan Aloshja een diepere context bieden voor degenen die geïnteresseerd zijn. Deze workshop is het vervolg op de workshop van 22 september. Het is niet noodzakelijk dat je deze eerdere workshop hebt gevolgd, maar het is wel aan te raden. Iedereen is welkom en het niveau van de workshop zal aangepast worden op de groep.

𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭:
Dansen maakt sinds 2008 een groot deel uit van Aljosha's leven en sinds 2016 geeft hij ook workshops en lessen. In 2022 begon hij ook met forró en begon hij wekelijks te dansen en festivals te bezoeken. Aljosha is altijd op zoek naar nieuwe ideeën voor zijn lessen, met als doel om het publiek mee te laten dansen. “In de folkscene komen we samen om onze danscultuur te verrijken met onze bewegingen, energie, concentratie én stemmen. Met groepsdansen bieden we de kans om solidariteit in de praktijk te brengen, waardoor we ons gezamenlijk zelfverzekerder en verbonden voelen. Als folkdocent ben ik altijd op zoek naar instrumenten om de (fysieke, sociale en emotionele) barrières te doorbreken tussen dansers en de dans, tussen niet-muzikanten en de muziek en tussen alle mensen.”

Join us on 30 September for the first Balfolk music, dance and social evening of the new season. We are delighted to welcome you back to our monthly balfolk dance evenings, where you can come and learn new dance steps while enjoying the company of other dance fans.\r
\r
This month's event will include a dance workshop for beginners and a three-hour dance evening. During the workshop we will learn how to dance balfolk. You will be able to learn the most popular Balfolk dances : Scottish, Waltz, Circle, Shapelloise, Bourree, Romantic Mazurka, etc.\r
\r
Balfolk is the common name for a European folk dance revived and reintroduced in France in the 1970s. The popularity of this relatively young dance is due to the ability of talented musicians to modernise folk music. After discovering the new sound of well-known melodies, people began to dance this dance for themselves rather than to perform on stage. This transformed a traditional dance style into a new, creative and flexible dance that retained the deep-rooted dance steps without losing its community orientation. Today, this style of dance attracts dancers across Europe.\r
\r
The dance workshop will be led by Augustas & Inga\r
\r
The workshop is a great opportunity to improve your dancing skills and learn new moves, and at the dance ball, you will be able to put your knowledge into practice and enjoy the upbeat balfolk music. It's a chance to relax, have fun and socialize with other people who share your love of dance.\r
\r
We invite both experienced balfok dancers and newcomers to join this cozy and friendly community. So mark your calendars for 30 September and get ready to dance!\r
\r
18:00 - 19:00 Balfolk for beginers\r
19:00 - 22:00 Dance ball\r

Bands

 \tWouter Kuyper

Het gedurfde trekharmonicaspel en doedelzakspel van Wouter Kuyper staat als een huis!

'Ik ben muzikaal geboren in Gooik'
Op zijn 10de namen zijn ouders Wouter voor het eerst mee naar Gooik (België). Daar maakte hij kennis met volksmuziek, en heeft hij de verslaving opgedaan die tot op de dag van vandaag nog niet over is. Wouter danst al Bal Folk sinds zijn eerste bezoek aan Gooik en is op zijn elfde doedelzak gaan spelen. Op zijn vijftiende kwam daar de trekharmonica bij. Vanaf zijn zeventiende speelde hij in zijn eerste bandje. Regelmatige bezoeken aan andere festivals en workshops (Saint Chartier, Schier, TeeU etc) hielden het vuurtje warm.

Hij maakt er geen geheim van waarom hij zich heeft laten inspireren door oude Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse dansmuziek: 'Ik houd van bals, ik houd van dansen, van de festivals zoals in St Chartier en Gooik. De keus voor balrepertoire is dan snel gemaakt.'

 \tStockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome bestaat uit Judith Be (viool) en Sebastiaan West (piano, accordeon). Ze spelen heerlijke balfolkmuziek met een lekker dosis Zweedse vibes. Hun sound wordt alom gewaardeerd.

 \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!"""

name = "Socialles 276 — Scottish (basics and variations)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 5 oktober is het socialles nr 276. Het thema deze week is de scottish: de basis en enkele variaties van deze dans. Hoe dans je deze fijn samen, wat zijn de fijne kneepjes ervan en wat kun je er eigenlijk verder nog mee? Heb je deze dans al onder de knie? Kijk dan eens of je van rol kunt wisselen voor de variaties. Let op: deze les wordt gegeven in het Engels, maar er zijn ook genoeg mensen aanwezig om voor je te vertalen. Docent deze week is Isobel.

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."""

PATRIZIA SIEWECK &
MARKUS BRANDSTETTER
IRISH FOLK Workshop + Bal Folk
Höhepunkt: kurze Show der 3-fachen Deutschen Meisterin im RIVERDANCE Nicole Ohnesorge
Patrizia Sieweck & Markus Brandstetter – Foto: Markus Brandstetter
Patrizia Sieweck und Markus Brandstetter kombinieren traditionellen irischen Folk mit moderner Gitarrenbegleitung, die ihre Wurzeln in Pop, Rock und Jazz hat. Hier trifft Tradition auf Moderne, Jigs, Reels und zeitlose Songs auf überraschende Gitarrenvoicings und treibende Rhythmen. Gelegentlich gibt es auch einen Abstecher in andere europäische Folk-Traditionen wie die französische oder schwedische Volksmusik. Anhören kann man sich einiges auf Patrizia Siewecks Solodebüt „A Wrecker’s Tale“, das die beiden gemeinsam produzierten und auf dem der Gitarrist auf einigen Stücken wie „Upcoming Storm / The Beacon“ auch mitspielte.
Tänzerisch können wir uns freuen auf Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, Polkas, Polskas,Walzer….einen bunten Mix an europäischen Tänzen, mit irischem Fokus (die französischen Tänze funktionieren hier auch meistens). Das Ganze wird modern und fetzig.
www.patrizia-sieweck.com
Ceilidh-WORKSHOP (90 MIN) und Tanzbegleitung während des BalFolks: Nicole Ohnesorge
Im Workshop lernen wir Ceilidh Tänze. Also gesellschatliche Tänze in der Gruppe, die jede:r mittanzen kann, weil sie von Grund auf erklärt werden. Es handelt sich meistens um Figuren, die vorab eingeübt werden und die anschließend jede:r mittanzen kann.

Het is eindelijk zover!

Een bal in ‘s-Hertogenbosch genaamd “Drakenbal”!

Zoals sommige misschien weten staat de Draak symbool van de stad ’s-Hertogenbosch. Maar vanaf nu staat de draak ook symbool voor ons balfolk evenement bij Café Station Zuid.

De eerste twee edities van het Drakenbal zijn een experiment om te zien of er voldoende animo is voor een extra bal in Brabant. Mocht dit het geval zijn dan willen we proberen om structureel (1x per maand of 1x per twee maanden) een bal voor jullie te organiseren. Dus… ben er vooral bij!

Voor de bals zullen we altijd een (of meerdere) live optredens organiseren. Daarnaast vinden we de sessies heel belangrijk. We nodigen jullie dan ook van harte uit om jullie instrument mee te nemen voor een sessie aan het eind onder leiding van David Cornelissen (Diedeliedavid)!

Op vrijdag 6 oktober willen we met jullie om 20:00 aftrappen met een kleine dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul & Bo. Jullie kunnen ze kennen van o.a. Wilhelmina waar ze ook altijd vol enthousiasme muziek-workshop organiseren. Onze dank is enorm voor Paul en Bo die ons als beginnend evenement steunen en gratis komen helpen. Wij zetten tijdens het bal wat kleine versnaperingen (+water) neer met een pot ernaast. Het geld dat hierin gedoneerd wordt gaat dan ook naar Paul en Bo!

Om 21:00 zijn we enorm blij en enthousiast over de live act voor de avond , namelijk Wouter Kuyper!

Hij gaat ons meenemen in zijn heerlijke nummers waarvan we al zo vaak hebben mogen genieten.

Nadat onze benen en spieren vermoeid zijn van een heerlijke avond vol dansen zijn we aangekomen bij de sessie. Zoals eerder aangegeven zal deze zijn onder begeleiding van David Cornelissen. Het zal vooral een spontane sessie zijn waarbij er gekeken wordt naar wat er gebeurt en wat er ontstaat. Eventueel heeft David wat nummers die hij langs wil laten komen. En kan er over meerdere bals een stuk worden voorbereid waar elke sessie een stuk/deun aan toegevoegd kan worden.

We nodigen jullie van harte uit om jullie instrumenten mee te nemen! Mochten er hierbij logistieke moeilijkheden zijn laat het ons dan vooral weten op (drakenbaldenbosch@gmail.com) dan kunnen we hierin met jullie meedenken)

Programma

Dansuitleg : 20:00 – 21:00
Bal met Wouter Kuyper : 21:00 – 22:45
Sessie : 22:45 - uiterlijk 1:00

Route

Openbaar vervoer:
Het Bal is te bereiken met OV, hiervoor kun je naar ’s-Hertogenbosch Centraal of 's-Hertogenbosch Oost komen. Vanaf beide stations zal het ongeveer 15-20 minuten lopen zijn naar de locatie. Je kunt ook de bus nemen die vlak bij Café Station Zuid stopt. Dit is buslijn 1 (en 306). Plan je reis via 9292ov.nl

Auto:
Met de auto is er een gratis parkeergelegenheid nabij het Café Station Zuid. Deze bevindt zich op de Jacob van Mearlantstraat vanaf nummer 191 en oplopend. Aan de overkant bij de bedrijven mag vanaf 7 uur ook geparkeerd worden, mits er ruimte is. Vanaf hier is het 2 minuten lopen.
Direct naast Café Station Zuid zijn er betaald parkeren gelegenheden. Dus goed kijken waar je gaat staan!"""

Workshop kennismaking Balfolk dansen en live optreden op piano van Wim te Groen in de Bibliotheek van Deventer.


Programma:
13:30 - 15:30 Workshop (1,5 uur) en korte pauze. Geschikt voor complete beginners, ook als je nog nooit hebt gedanst.
15:30 - 17:00 Optreden op de vleugel van Wim te Groen, waarbij het geleerde meteen in de praktijk kan worden gebracht. Want Balfolk dans je het liefst op live muziek!

Entree is op basis van vrije inloop en gulle gift.
Docent: Anke Veens (Dancing Bodies)




Workshop
In anderhalf uur neemt Anke je mee door de set aan basis dansen die veel voorkomen op een Balfolkbal. Balfolk wordt eigenlijk altijd op live muziek gedanst. Waarbij er tijdens een optreden verschillende dansen langs komen. Dit zijn groepsdansen op cirkels en in rijen. Maar ook zijn er dansen in koppel, los van elkaar of in danshouding.

Het leuke aan verschillende groepsdansen is dat je tijdens de dans ook van partner wisselt. Je kunt dus alleen komen, je hebt geen (vaste) danspartner nodig. Tijdens deze dansen leer je alle nieuwe gezichten kennen en zul je zien dat je over de avond met heel veel verschillende mensen danst. Het is binnen Balfolk gebruikelijk om na elk dansje van partner te wisselen.

Ook het instapniveau voor de dansen ligt laag, de basispassen zijn over het algemeen heel eenvoudig. Maar voor de meer ervaren dansers blijft er uitdaging te vinden omdat er ook veel geïmproviseerd kan worden.

We zeggen wel vaker; als je kunt lopen kun je meedansen! Al is dat niet helemaal waar want er doen ook regelmatig babies in een draagdoek mee en zelfs als je aan een rolstoel bent gebonden ben je niet uitgesloten op de dansvloer.

Ook zijn we wars van een traditionele rolverdeling tussen man en vrouw, leiden en volgen is bij ons niet gebonden aan je geslacht. Iedereen danst met iedereen.

Live muziek
Wim te Groen is danser en pianist. Zijn prachtige eigen gecomponeerde Balfolk melodieën zal hij ten gehore brengen op de vleugel. Natuurlijk mag je gaan zitten luisteren. Maar hij speelt dansmuziek, speciaal geschreven voor dansers! En met de voorafgaande workshop heb je voldoende basis om gewoon mee te kunnen doen.

Wil je alvast een voorproefje van zijn muziek? Er zijn verschillende nummers beschikbaar op YouTube en Spotify."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 12 oktober is het socialles nr 277. Het thema deze week is de scottish, waarbij we wat verder kijken naar leiden & volgen en diverse variaties. De variaties kunnen ook uit de groep zelf komen: wat is jouw favoriet? De les wordt gegeven door Noelia.

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."""

In oktober zijn we terug van weggeweest en kunnen we weer dansen op de muziek van twee geweldige groepen!

Wij zijn heel blij om Nubia aan te kondigen, die hun gloednieuwe CD aan ons gaat presenteren! Nubia bestaat uit Kris van 't Klooster op mandoline en Tim Hofmeester op DADGAD gitaar, en hun grenzeloze muzikale connectie. Met roots in Nederland en met Scandinavische invloeden maakt dit duo muziek om op te dansen, of om bij weg te dromen terwijl je luistert. Dromerig, poëtisch, plezierig en in de wolken: Nubia weet altijd de juiste intieme sfeer te creëren om heerlijk op te dansen. 

 Man Encantada Duo brengt ons traditionele muziek uit de Gascogne compleet met fantastische Occitaanse zang. De prachtige gezongen melodieën, traditionele teksten en originele composities worden geaccentueerd door de accordeon en mandola. De groep combineert de specialismen van beide muzikanten: Joachim zingt de melodieën uit de Gascogne en zet graag muziek onder gedichten en traditionele teksten uit het zuidwesten van Frankrijk, en Gilles draagt zijn kennis bij van traditionele muziek uit Périgord en het gebied eromheen. De energieke ritmes van Man Encantada zijn ontzettend aanstekelijk en zorgen voor een geweldige danservaring!

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. Er is gratis water verkrijgbaar bij de bar. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

15:00 Dansinitiatie
16:00 Nubia

Band

 \tTrio Loubelya

(Neo)trad-jazz-wereldmuziek, dat zo zou men de muziek van Trio Loubelya moeten classificeren. Live levert Loubelya een energiek en intiem 'hedendaags trad'-bal, waarin de subtiele adem van de accordeon, het bedwelmende timbre van de saxofoon, de uitzinnige klarinet en de betoverende diepte van de contrabas subtiel worden gecombineerd.

 \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!

details = """
Op vrijdagavond 20 oktober kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De artiest die voor ons komt optreden is Bart Praet.

Bart Praet speelt uillean pipes, whistles en fluit. Hij is ook bekend van onder andere Elanor en diverse andere muzikale topacts. In De Doelen brengt hij met zijn soloproject 'Dawn' een betoverende fusie van balfolk met jazz-invloeden, die muzikale grenzen verlegt! Bereid je voor om betoverd te worden door 'Dawn', dat naadloos het rijke erfgoed van balfolk mengt met de nuances van jazz en daarbuiten. Ontdek een muzikale reis als geen ander, waar de tijdloze melodieën van de Ierse bouzouki zich verstrengelen met de harmonieuze omhelzing van toetsen en de zielsroerende klanken van de duduk. 'Dawn' overstijgt genres en creëert een betoverende soundscape die even uniek als meeslepend is.

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
20:00: Start dansuitleg
21:00: Bal!
23:00: 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.

(English below)
Ook dit jaar is er weer een Cadansa-after-afterparty! Dus mocht je nog in de Cadansa-sfeer zitten, of een middel tegen de post-Cadansa-blues zoeken, of gewoon zin hebben om op maandag avond lekker te dansen met een straffe band, kom dan vooral langs in de Moira in Utrecht!
Er is ook ruimte voor sessie, dus neem vooral een instrument mee en mochten je voeten even een pauze nodig hebben, is de bar open voor een drankje!
Programma:
17:30 Deuren open voor diner*
19:00 Airboxes
~21:00 Sessie
~22:00 Einde zodat iedereen nog treinen terug naar de meeste andere (grote) steden kan pakken (en eventueel nog kan slapen voor dinsdag weer aan het werk te gaan ;) ).
*Als het je gezellig lijkt kun je bij ons aanschuiven om je diner te komen eten. Dit kan alles zijn van potluck om tot delen tot een eigen maaltje en/of iets laten bezorgen bij de Moira.
Tarieven:
Het bal kost €13 of meer. Als je minder te besteden hebt, kun je gebruik maken van het kortingstarief van €10. (Graag gepast mee te nemen.)
Fair trade: Bij dit bal krijgen de bands direct betaald wat er aan de deur wordt betaald. (Na aftrek van zaalhuur e.d.) Dat betekent dat je dus je waardering voor de muzikanten kunt laten blijken door wat meer te betalen zodat zij ook een wat eerlijker loon kunnen ontvangen. Mocht je het geld hebben, is het dus heel welkom om meer te betalen dan het standaardtarief van €12 in ruil voor dankbare blijere muzikanten.
Band:
(English)
Finally there is Cadansa again and so of course there will be a grand Cadansa-after-afterparty again! So whether you are still in the Cadansa mood, trying to find a remedy against the post-Cadansa-blues, or just feel like dancing to the music of a super cool French on Monday evening, make sure you will get to the Moira in Utrecht!
There will also be some time for a session, so do bring your instruments and if your feet get tired and need a quick break, the bar is open for drinks!
Programme:
18:30 Doors open for dinner*
19:00 Airboxes
~21:00 Session
~22:30 End which is on time to get a train back to most of the other (big) cities (and possibly sleep a little before going to work on Tuesday ;) ).
*If you would like some company for dinner,  feel free to join us with your own dinner. This can be anything from potluck to share, to your meal and/or delivery meal at the Moira
Admission
Entrance fee for the ball is €13 or more. If you do not have so much to spend, use the lower fee of €10. (Please bring the exact amount.)
Fair tade: At this ball the bands get paid directly what is being paid at the entrance. (After deducing the locations rent.) That means you can show your appreciation to the musicians by paying some more to make sure they will also get a fair wage. So if you have the money, you are very welcome to pay more than the standard fee of €12 in exchange for grateful happier musicians.
Location:
The event takes place in the Moira. A location for regular balfolk events with a nice dancing floor, good sound, atmospheric lights and a \"gezellige\" bar in the heart of Utrecht at only 1km from the central station."""

Op 30 oktober en 2 november beginnen we de nieuwe reeks van Balfolk Hoorn met twee proeflessen!
Op de maandag wordt dit een groep begonners die al eerder een reeks of een aantal workshops hebben gedanst, en op de donderdag beginnen wij helemaal vanaf het begin met de beginners. De lessen beginnen om 19:00 en duren tot 21:30. Je hebt geen danspartner nodig om mee te kunnen doen.

Op de maandagen gaan wij werken met ritmisch variëren in dansen zoals de Scottish, Mazurka en de Slängpolska. Ook gaan wij aan de slag met een aantal dansen die vaker voorkomen op een bal zoals walsen in 5 en 8, Bourrée in 3, Suite Plinn en Rondeau en Couple. We gaan werken met musikaliteit en communicatie binnen de dansen, zo kun je van een leuke dans een nog leukere dans maken!
En als toetje gaan wij de Sønderhoning leren! Dit is een dans die erg lijkt op de Polska die steeds meer in Nederland gedanst wordt, maar dan nèt even anders! (Goede dans om de standaard Polska draai aan te leren of nog eens even goed te herhalen.)

Met Leo Visser als gastdocent voor de Bretonse dansen.

De locatie is Achter de Vest 34, 10 minuten lopen vanaf het station Hoorn, en parkeren kan in Parkeergarage ’t Jeudje (300 meter van de locatie vandaan). Parkeren is hier op maandag gratis vanaf 18:00 uur en op donderdag betaald tot 21:00 uur (€1,90 per uur, eerste half uur gratis).
Let op! De ingang van het gebouw zit aan het Doelenplein.

In totaal zullen er 8 lessen van 2,5 uur gegeven worden. De prijs voor de maandagreeks is €200 of €172 als je iets minder te besteden hebt. Dit mag in twee termijnen van €100/€86 euro betaald worden, of ook in acht termijnen van €25/€22 euro contant te betalen per avond (ik heb helaas geen pinautomaat).

De reeks gaat door bij minimaal 8 aanmeldingen.

Wil je beide reeksen meedoen? Stuur dan ook een e-mail!

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Musac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.
Dansen zijn o.a. bourrée, scottish, jigue, andro, tovercirkel, wals, dubbele klappolka en nog veel meer.
De dansavonden zijn bedoeld voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er wordt tussen de dansen door korte dans-instructie verzorgd. De sfeer is ontspannen en samen plezier hebben staat voorop.
't Volkshoes heeft een zaal met goede houten vloer. Drankjes verkrijgbaar (koelkast).
Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom.
Hieraan zijn geen kosten verbonden. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.

name = "Socialles 278 — Forro"
details = """
Deze donderdag 2 november is het socialles nr 278. Het thema deze week is de Forro, een Braziliaanse dans die raakvlakken heeft met de balfolkdansen, zoals de scottish.

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 30 oktober en 2 november beginnen we de nieuwe reeks van Balfolk Hoorn met twee proeflessen!
Op de maandag wordt dit een groep begonners die al eerder een reeks of een aantal workshops hebben gedanst, en op de donderdag beginnen wij helemaal vanaf het begin met de beginners. De lessen beginnen om 19:00 en duren tot 21:30. Je hebt geen danspartner nodig om mee te kunnen doen.

Op de donderdagen gaan wij werken met de veelvoorkomende baldansen; denk aan Scottish, Tovercirkel, Andro, Wals in 3, Jig, Hanterdro en Bourrée in 2. Ook zullen we wat minder veelvoorkomende dansen gaan dansen zoals de Slängpolska, Bravade, Långdans en Branlou. We zullen aan de slag gaan met contact met je danspartner en de andere dansers op de dansvloer.

Met Leo Visser als gastdocent voor de Bretonse dansen.

De locatie is Achter de Vest 34, 10 minuten lopen vanaf het station Hoorn, en parkeren kan in Parkeergarage ’t Jeudje (300 meter van de locatie vandaan). Parkeren is hier op maandag gratis vanaf 18:00 uur en op donderdag betaald tot 21:00 uur (€1,90 per uur, eerste half uur gratis).
Let op! De ingang van het gebouw zit aan het Doelenplein.

In totaal zullen er 8 lessen van 2,5 uur gegeven worden. De prijs voor de donderdagreeks is €200 of €172 als je iets minder te besteden hebt. Dit mag in twee termijnen van €100/€86 euro betaald worden, of ook in acht termijnen van €25/€22 euro contant te betalen per avond (ik heb helaas geen pinautomaat).

De reeks gaat door bij minimaal 8 aanmeldingen.

Wil je beide reeksen meedoen? Stuur dan ook een e-mail!

✔️ What is Balfolk? The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r

Delicious snacks, tea and dessert offered during breaks. Schedule subject to revision. 
Come enjoy our warm hospitality, delightful dancing and varied culinary, cultural and shopping opportunities. If you’ve never visited Fairfield, you’re in for a treat! You’ll enjoy our incredible culinary offerings (Thai, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Ethiopian, Gourmet Pizza, Turkish) and world-class coffee at Cafe Paradiso, all within 1-2 blocks walking distance from the dance! 
Important: All dancers must be fully vaccinated to attend. Please do not ask for exceptions.  Most likely, for everyone’s safety, we will also require negative covid tests (home tests are fine) 2 days before coming and again on the first day. If everyone complies (please do!) then we may be able to make masks optional. We will have a final decision regarding masks and tests 2 weeks prior to the weekend and will notify all registered dancers.  
In order to ensure that we have full attendance (and can therefore afford to pay all the expenses), we are asking everyone to register in advance. So if you know you want to come, please register today. Thank you! 
$175. Includes full weekend and all snacks.
Note:  This weekend is designed for experienced dancers and attendance is limited. We sell out every year, so PLEASE register soon! 
Register by sending email to FairfolkDancers “at” gmail “dot” com and then send check payable to Jennifer Hamilton to arrive within 5 business days via snail-mail to:
FFADC PO Box 1321, Fairfield, Iowa 52556 
Please include name, address, phone and email.  We sold out way in advance last time and expect to do so for 2023. Your cancelled check is your receipt—please do not be disappointed if you do not get an email acknowledgement. If you enquire by email, you are not registered until we receive your check! The time/date of your email will be the tie-breaker if we sell out on the day we receive your check. 
We are delighted to welcome Joanna Reiner Wilkinson back to Fairfield. Many of you enjoyed dancing with her in the past and we are fortunate to welcome her again! 
Cancellation / Refund Policy: If you need to cancel for any reason, we will allow you to transfer your personal registration to the next year (for one year only). Or you can send someone—a previously unregistered dancer whom you find—in your place to this current year’s weekend and let us know about the substitution. You handle all the details and work out the payment with your friend. This applies only to the specific weekend you paid for. Other than these two options, unfortunately there are no refunds or exchanges. We simply do not have the volunteer staff to handle these complications. (If you have sent your check late and the dance is full, we will not cash your check.)

Het inmiddels bijna traditionele Halloweenbal van Balfolk Zuid-Holland, deze keer op 4 november, in Poortugaal.

Voor ons komen spelen: Les Kickeuses en Geronimo!

Les Kickeuses is een duo, gevormd door Lolita op accordeon en Juliette op dwarsfluit en zang, beiden met een passie voor balfolkmuziek.

Geronimo is de Belgische solo-muzikant Jeroen Geerinck, bekend van onder andere Snaarmaarwaar. Hij brengt een energieke mix van gitaar en ritme op de dansvloer, vol bijzondere composities en variaties.

Programma

Het programma van de avond (onder voorbehoud van wijzigingen):

17.30: Deuren open
18.00: Dansuitleg
19.00: Bal!
20.30: Kostuumprijsuitreiking
21.00: Bal!
23.00: Einde

Toegang tot het bal kost 25 euro per persoon.

Halloween

Extra speciaal deze avond: het bal is natuurlijk in Halloweenthema, dus De Brinkhoeve wordt omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle griezellocatie, met in plaats van bezoekers en dansers, heksen, feeën, spoken of zelfs vampieren! Zelf in een favoriete Halloweenoutfit komen wordt aanbevolen: organisator Balfolk Zuid-Holland zorgt voor mooie prijzen voor de origineelste en leukste kostuums. Toch liever niet verkleed? Geen probleem, het is niet verplicht en gezellig wordt het sowieso!

Locatie

Het bal is in De Brinkhoeve, in Poortugaal. Deze zaal is te vinden aan de Kerkstraat 12 in Poortugaal. De locatie is goed bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer, het is op zo'n 10 minuten lopen vanaf het metrostation Poortugaal. Parkeren is gratis in de wijk rondom de zaal.

Deze donderdag 9 november is het socialles nr 279. 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."""

Autumn BALFOLK course: Folky Fridays\r
We invite you to join our exciting dance gatherings to explore some different social folklore dances of Europe!\r
✔️ The program includes 6 dance workshops and 2 party events and starts on 06.10.23 in ul. Tzar Samuil 86, Sofia. The course will end with a dance party for Balfolkaryia´s first birhday celebration.\r
✔️ What is Balfolk? The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r
☆☆☆ Program of the course ☆☆☆\r
Andrò, Anterdro, Circassian Circle, Chapelloise\r

Time: Dance 7:30-10:30 pm [Intro session 7:15 pm]
This is so wicked fun!! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia and we often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!!
Caller: Billy Fischer! Billy has been calling dances for over thirty years, starting out in New Haven, Connecticut with the contra dance series that has been a fixture of the folk music and dance scene since 1976. In addition to contra dances in and around the northeast, he has called at various dance camps regionally and nationally. This will be quite a treat!
Live Music: Dead Sea Squirrels are Cathy Mason on fiddle and mandolin; Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and vocals; and Henry Yoshimura on guitar and vocals.
Admission: (your choice) $10 – $12 p.p., $6 – $8 students, families $25. Donations are gratefully appreciated!
Food! Donations of snacks for the break are wanted and gleefully appreciated!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the church by driving up State Street or up Gertrude Street.
Role terms are: “Ladies & Gents” but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires."""

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. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.

Socialles 280 (Rotterdam) - Gavotte de l&#039;Aven, Deze donderdag 16 november is het socialles nr 280. Het thema deze les is de gavotte de l'aven, gegeven door Jos. Hoe gaat deze dans met z'n vieren, wat is de cadans, hoe voel je de muziek en hoe zit dat met mensen die niet met vier in een rijtje, maar met twee in een koppel dansen op deze zelfde muziek?

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 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.

Bands

 \tRudemà

Rudemà is een folktrio uit Veneto, tot 2019 actief onder de naam Diaduit, gevormd door Fabio Reolon (gitaar en zang), Francesco Chiarini (viool en nyckelharpa) en Luca Ventimiglia (doedelzak, rechte en dwarsfluiten, tarota, melodica).

De groep, opgericht in 2009, biedt een wereldmuziekshow met herinterpretaties van traditionele liederen en hun eigen composities, variërend van Franse balfolk tot Ierse folk, via traditionele muziek uit Veneto en Noord-Italië.

In 2011 kwam het eerste album van de groep, A perdifiato nel bosco, uit, gevolgd door het meer recente Aquiloni, opgenomen en gemixt door Dario Ravelli in Suonovivo Studio in Bergamo en gedistribueerd door Rox Records.

 \tPFM!

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

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).
 
MAX. AANTAL PLAATSEN: 16 (nog 2 plekken beschikbaar!)
TAAL: Nederlands
DUUR: 2,5 dag (vrijdag 17.00 uur – zondag 20.30 uur + after party)
AANMELDEN: https://dancingbodies.peggypay.com/intensive-2023-korting

Basis tarief is 275 euro; We hebben geprobeerd de kosten zo laag mogelijk te houden voor iedereen. Kun je meer missen dan gaat dit naar de low income optie mogelijk maken, docenten en/of additionele live muziek, afhankelijk van de giften. Indien je gebruik wil maken op de low income optie kun je 30% korting krijgen op de optie met chambrette. Meer informatie over tarieven via de aanmeldlink.

 
𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelprocessen aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. Met veel persoonlijke aandacht en gerichte oefeningen. Een intensive onderscheidt zich van een enkele workshop in een totaal opbouw met dieper detailniveau waarop wordt gewerkt. Met persoonlijke feedback uit de groep en van docent(en). De intensive is gericht op dansers die willen groeien en vanuit een technischere basis willen leren bewegen. Met als doel uiteindelijk meer vrijheid in hun dans te kunnen vinden (betere connectie en meer variatie). De duur van de intensive geeft de mogelijkheid om langer stil te staan bij onderwerpen en te werken met ervarend leren. Waarbij ruimte wordt gemaakt voor het invullen van een persoonlijk leerdoel.

 
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!

Airboxes – Photo: Linde Dorenbos – www.lindedorenbos.com
Airboxes aus Belgien spielen atmosphärische Tanzmusik, dargeboten von Bert Leemans und Guus Herremans am chromatischen und diatonischen Akkordeon.
Bert (chromatisch) und Guus (diatonisch) passen perfekt zusammen, die verschiedenen Klänge ihrer Instrumente verschmelzen in allem, was sie spielen und nehmen Sie mit auf eine Reise in eine magische Welt.
Airboxes spielen ausschließlich ihre eigenen Kompositionen. Die Abwechslung von intimen Soli und farbenfrohem Zusammenspiel sorgt für eine allumfassende Gesamtheit.
Airboxes sind zwei Männer, zwei Akkordeons, eine Geschichte.

Drehwurm
Drehwurm – Foto: Klara Otto
Wir sind Drehwurm aus Berlin, Lyon und Erfurt. Uns verbindet nicht nur unsere Nähe zu Dresden, sondern besonders unsere Freude am gemeinsamen Musizieren. Unsere Stücke sind selbstgeschrieben und vielschichtig, wie unsere Liebe zu Zwiebeln. Sie sind geprägt von internationaler Folkmusik (ägyptischen Trolltänzen, Metal,…) sowie von Liedermachern und Holter-die-polter-Polka. Diese Stilrichtungen finden sich in schwindelerregenden Walzern, träumerischen Gavottes, angriffslustigen Bourrees und flott gefiedelten Polkas wieder. Dazu gibt es eigene Texte, inhaltlich gestreut von philosophischen Themen über Landschaftsbeschreibungen bis hin zu Gutenachtliedern. Mit einer Prise Albernheit gestalten wir unsere Musik sowohl tanzbar als auch zum lauschen.

Bal met Paracetamol.

Er komt eindelijk weer een balfolk in Deventer!

 

Balfolk Deventer is lekker dansen op live folkmuziek (alleen luisteren kan uiteraard ook)

 

Entree: vrijwillige donatie, zoals bijvoorbeeld € 15,- per persoon. (contant aan de deur of een tikkie)

Geef ruim, dan kunnen we in de toekomst vaker een bal organiseren in Deventer.

 

Globaal tijdschema (tijden onder voorbehoud):

15:00 dansworkshop

15:30 Bal

19:00 Einde programma

 

Over de Dansuitleg In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen.

 

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 mee doen.

 

Over Paracetamol:

Paracetamol speelt avondvullende energieke balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. De band bestaat uit: Rob Zantkuijl: Doedelzak, saxofoon, melodica, whistles Jan Willem Veenhuis: Gitaar, Stompbox Gyöngy Kovács: Contrabas, zang Nico Beltman: Viool, doedelzak, low whistle

 

Er is een bar met ruime keuze uit drankjes en een kleine keuken met (vegetarische) snacks.

Let op: op de locatie mag je geen meegebrachte etenswaren nuttigen. Kraanwater drinken/meebrengen is toegestaan."""

Er komt opnieuw een balfolk in Groningen!
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:
14:00 dansworkshop
14:45 Baftig
15:45 pauze
16:00 Paracetamol
17:30 sessie
18:00 einde programma
(Tijden onder voorbehoud)

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! Nieuwsgierig? Er zijn kaartjes met kennismakingskorting!
En we starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan mee doen.

Over Paracetamol:
Paracetamol speelt avondvullende energieke balfolkmuziek met een bitterzoet randje. Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657.
De band bestaat uit:
Rob Zantkuijl: Doedelzak, saxofoon, melodica, whistles
Jan Willem Veenhuis: Gitaar, Stompbox
Gyöngy Kovács: Contrabas, zang
Nico Beltman: Viool, doedelzak, low whistle

Over Duo 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!
De band bestaat uit:
Manon Elout: viool
Robin Tjiong: gitaar

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.
Op zondag is het parkeren gratis. Zeker op het Helperplein is op zondag altijd wel ruimte."""

\"Ik kom dit jaar mijn verjaardag weer eens vieren bij Balfolk Zeist! En ook deze keer heb ik een artiest geregeld die nog niet eerder hier op het podium heeft gestaan: Bert Leemans!

Het afgelopen decennium heb ik al meerdere succesvolle verjaardagsbals mogen organiseren bij Balfolk Zeist. Hier speelden onder meer Zoalo, Wouter en de Draak, Niek van Uden-Luteijn (solo), Duo Leana Vapper-Dhoore & Hartwin Dhoore (toen nog optredend als 'Estbel'), Simone Bottasso (van Duo Bottasso en The Folk Messengers), Wouter Kuyper solo, en de laatste keer (in 2019, samen de verjaardag vierend met Eline en Pascale) speelden Androneda en Trad'Ici.

Deze keer komt Bert Leemans spelen. Hij is bekend van talloze balfolk-bands (EmBRUN, EmBRIO, Elanor, Triple X, b-boa, Airboxes, Exqueezit), maar speelt deze keer voor ons solo een balfolk-set met een mengsel van rustige en energieke nummers op zijn chromatische accordeon (en misschien neemt hij ook zijn hybride bandoneon of accordina mee).
De deuren gaan op dinsdag 21 november om 19.30 uur open. Ik heb er al veel zin in en hoop jullie allemaal te zien!\"

name = "Socialles 281 — Ridée en plinn"
details = """
Deze donderdag 23 november is het socialles nr 281. De docent deze week is Leon. Hij gaat met ons aan de slag met onder andere de ridee en de plinn (en mogelijk nog wat andere dansen in het repertoire). Ervaring met deze dansen 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."""

Autumn BALFOLK course: Folky Fridays\r
We invite you to join our exciting dance gatherings to explore some different social folklore dances of Europe!\r
✔️ The program includes 6 dance workshops and 2 party events and starts on 06.10.23 in ul. Tzar Samuil 86, Sofia. The course will end with a dance party for Balfolkaryia´s first birhday celebration.\r
✔️ What is Balfolk? The style reflects the revival of traditional European dances and music from different regions, often accompanied by live music. It includes dances such as Chapelloise, Polka, mazurka, Circassian circle, repasseado, Rondò, Irish dance, Balkan dance and horo and many more in a modern reading so that anyone can join in without prior training. They are danced in a circle of many people, in fours or in pairs, very often with exchange of partners on a rotational basis, so that each participant dances with everyone else. The focus is on the social element - sharing the joy of dance and music, the sense of community between European cultures, creating friendships.\r

DRAKENBAL DEN BOSCH 

Als voortzetting van een succesvol eerste bal, zal er vrijdag 24 november een tweede bal plaatsvinden boordevol muziek, dans en gezelligheid!

Wat Balfolk betreft is het al jarenlang stil in Den Bosch. Veel te stil, vinden wij Bossche draakjes. Daarom organiseren we op 24 november 2023 ons tweede bal zodat er weer volop gedanst en gemusiceerd kan worden! Gelukkig heeft Café Station Zuid haar deuren met alle liefde voor ons geopend en kunnen we ondergronds gaan genieten van prachtige muziek, mooie contacten en heerlijke dansen.

DWEILDANS

Als organisatie van Drakenbal proberen wij de avond zo fijn mogelijk neer te zetten op het gebied van muziek, sfeer en dans. Het laatste puntje heeft zoals enkelen van jullie tijdens het eerste Drakenbal ervaren hebben nog wat aandacht nodig, en dat betreft namelijk de vloer! Wij zijn zeer gedreven om in de toekomst structureel bals te organiseren in regio Den Bosch met een vloer die voor iedereen prettig is; voor het aankomend bal hebben we dit echter nog niet helemaal kunnen realiseren.  Voor ieders dansgenot en veiligheid zullen we daarom (waar nodig) 1 à 2 keer een korte pauze inlassen van enkele minuten om de dansvloer droog te houden. We hopen dat jullie hier begrip voor hebben!


DANSINITIATIE 20:00-21:00

Is het je eerste keer? Maak je geen zorgen! Vanaf 20:00 is er een dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul en Bo. Zij zullen je de beginselen leren van een aantal standaard dansen en voortborduren op dansen die vorige maand zijn uitgelegd, zodat je steeds wat meer ervaring op doet!

LIVE: DUO BAFTIG 21:00-22:30

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 akoestische gitaar en viool. Manon en Robin delen een passie voor balfolk dans en folkmuziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo speelt een verrassende mix van Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!

JAMSESSIE 22:30- uiterlijk 1:00

Na het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen. We dragen de folkmuziek een warm hart toe en het is onze wens dat de muziekscene in Den Bosch steeds groter en actiever wordt. Schroom dus niet om je instrument te pakken en mee te spelen, iedereen is welkom! Ook als je niet bij het dansen bent geweest, ben je welkom voor de sessie! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!

VERSNAPERINGEN

In de bar boven kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje! Bij drukte gaat de bar beneden ook open. Daar staan tevens gratis gezonde snacks en heerlijk vers (vruchten)water klaar..

Balfolkariya warmly invites you to celebrate our first year of activity. We are the pioneering association in Bulgaria with a simple yet ambitious mission - to introduce the beautiful world of Balfolk music, dances, and culture to our corner of the world. In just a short year, we have had the privilege of hosting 35 events, including workshop evenings, jam sessions, film screenings, dance concerts, and heartwarming festive gatherings. 🎉🎶💃\r
\r
While we recognize that Balfolk is still a small and budding movement in Bulgaria, especially when compared to the grand traditions that have flourished throughout Europe, we carry a deep desire to build a bridge, connecting our rich national culture with Europe's Balfolk traditions. 🌍🤝\r
\r
We are excited to announce our first international event on November 25th. It will feature the live performance of \"Kissene Folk,\" a group from Italy that plays Balfolk music. We will also have a Balfolk dance workshop led by \"Les Punkies Folkies,\" from Spain. And to top it off, we will enjoy the authentic Bulgarian music and dances of \"Nebo,\" a local ensemble. 🎵🕺\r
\r
We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with you, our friends and fellows. Your presence would make it all the more memorable. 🎊😊\r
\r
About Balfolk:\r

Balfolk is a style that revives traditional European dances and music from various regions.

These dances are presented in a contemporary interpretation, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of previous experience. Dances are performed in circles, chains, or pairs, often with partner rotation, fostering a sense of community and building friendships. 💃🕺🎻\r

** English below ** 



We sluiten dit jaar af met de onze welbekende Wouter en de Draak, Guus Herremans en zijn opkomende groep PHLOX! We beginnen de avond met Wouter en de Draak die speciaal voor ons ook wat Nederlandse dansen zullen spelen die je kunt leren bij de workshop eerder op de dag. Na de picknick gaan dan verder met een afwisselende mix van PHLOX en Guus Herremans solo en duo met muzikanten van PHLOX. Dus verwacht intieme tunes en de power van een krachtige balfolk-big-band!
Je kunt reserveren via Google Forms, zie hier.
Er is een workshop voor het bal: Workshop.


Programma
12:00 – Workshop
15:00 – Einde Workshop
15:30 – Inloop voor het bal
16:00 – Wouter en de Draak
17:30 – Potluck
18:45 – Guus Herremans & PHLOX
21:45 – Eind bal


Reserveren, Prijzen en Voorwaarden
Je reserveert een kaartje voor het bal, bal + workshop, of workshop. Je kiest aan de deur welke tarief je wil betalen. Voor reserveren, prijzen en voorwaarden zie boven voor de link naar Google Forms.

Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je met de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.


Fair Trade
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)


Eten en Drinken
We hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. Er is een Potluck. Iedereen neemt eten mee, die we dan met zijn allen delen. We zorgen dat er een aantal tafels staan met labeltjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Aangezien er balfolkers zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) raden we aan om een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten te zetten.

Neem je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En, het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit. We zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.

De Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.


Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.
Alle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.


Locatie
Het bal vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.







 

We finish the year with our well-known Wouter en de Draak, Guus Herremans and his new band PHLOX! We kick off the evening with Wouter en de Draak that for this occasion will play also some Dutch dances. They can be learned during the workshop prior to the ball. After the picknick we will continue with an alternating set of PHLOX, Guus Herremans solo and as a duo with musicians of PHLOX, so expect some intimate tunes ánd the full force of a powerful balfolk-big-band!

 

 
You can book via Google Forms, see here.
There is a workshop before the bal: Workshop.


Programm
12:00 – Workshop
15:00 – End of Workshop
15:30 – Walk-in for the ball
16:00 – Wouter en de Draak
17:30 – Potluck
18:45 – Guus Herremands & PHLOX
21:45 – End of the ball

 

Reservation, Prices and Conditions
You reserve a ticket for the ball, ball + workshop, or workshop. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. For reservations, prices and conditions see above for the link to Google Forms.

NB! You pay cash  at the door. Later in the evening, the cash register moves to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register.


Fair Trade
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)


Food and Drinks
We have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. There's a Potluck. Everyone brings food, which we then share with all of us. We ensure that there are a number of tables with labels: vegetarian, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Since there are balfolkers with allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etc.), we recommend adding an ingredients list to your food.

Bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoons, these are not available in the Moira. And, it's nice if you clean up and / or throw away your own waste after the potluck. We provide a number of garbage cans.

The Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.


Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
In principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines.


Location
The ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall."""

Op 26 november zal het eerste Superette bal in Wageningen plaatsvinden! Heel toevallig gepland op mijn verjaardag.

Locatie: De superette

De superette is een cultureel centrum in een voormalige Boksschool in Wageningen. Vele uiteenlopende culturele evenementen worden hier georganiseerd. Of het nou gaat om kunst, muziek of dans, het is een plek voor alles wat mensen samenbrengt in op een creatieve manier. Wij hebben de eer om een kersvers gelegde vloer met dit evenement in te leiden. De superette draait volledig op vrijwillige donaties en dit bal zal dus ook op vrijwillige donatie basis gegeven worden. Ook zullen er verscheidende drankjes beschikbaar zijn, tevens op basis van vrijwillige donatie.

De bands:

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 verrassende mix tussen Ierse/Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!

Marina Lazar is al 7 jaar lang piano docent en heeft inmiddels een geheel zelf geschreven repertoire van balfolk nummers gecreëerd, wat niet haast anders dan imponeren kan. Haar composities van voornamelijk Walsen en Mazurkas hebben meeslepende melodieën waar nu toe eigenlijk maar een probleem gevonden: ze zijn te kort. Benieuwd naar een voorproefje?

We typically dance on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of each month. 
For years, the Hayward Contra has drawn dancers from all over the Bay Area and beyond. 
Some of the unique features that have drawn a loyal following are: 
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. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.

details = """
Socialles 282 (Rotterdam) - Rondedansen en hun &#039;regels&#039;, Deze donderdag 30 november is het socialles nr 282. Docenten deze week zijn René en Ellen. We gaan aan de slag met diverse ronde-dansen, zoals de ronde de chantecorps, de ronde de st. Vincent en de bal limousine. Tegelijkertijd zullen we daarbij ook eens kijken hoe het eigenlijk zit met de etiquette, de 'regeltjes' van deze dansen. Geen zorgen: het is geen 'praat'les, er wordt ook nog volop gedanst. Ervaring met deze dansen is niet nodig om mee te kunnen doen.

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."""

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 1 december kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen is Mook. 

Mook is een spetterend balfolktrio van trekzak, viool en snaren. Jan Sijben(gitaar en mandoline), André ten Broeke (trekzak) en Jochem  Beltman (viool) vonden elkaar op muziekfestivals en spelen nu samen de sterren van de hemel met originele dansmuziek, vaak zelfgemaakt of gearrangeerd. Ze spelen voor iedere gelegenheid een creatief samengesteld programma met dansen, voor beginners, begonners of echte balfolkfreakies. Op 1 december spelen zij in Rotterdam.

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. Reserveren voor dit bal is niet nodig, je kunt naar wens binnen komen wandelen.

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
20:00: Start dansuitleg
21:00: Bal!
23:00: 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.

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Musac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.
Dansen zijn o.a. bourrée, scottish, jigue, andro, tovercirkel, wals, dubbele klappolka en nog veel meer.
De dansavonden zijn bedoeld voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er wordt tussen de dansen door korte dans-instructie verzorgd. De sfeer is ontspannen en samen plezier hebben staat voorop.
't Volkshoes heeft een zaal met goede houten vloer. Drankjes verkrijgbaar (koelkast).
Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom.
Hieraan zijn geen kosten verbonden. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.

name = "Socialles 283 — Wals basis"
details = """
Deze donderdag 7 december is het socialles nr 283. Docent deze week is Isobel. We gaan aan de slag met de wals en dan vooral de basis daarvan: de danshouding, wals- en draaitechniek en dus vooral de wals in 3. Ervaring met wals is niet nodig. Deze les sluit mooi aan bij die van volgende week: de wals in 5 en 8, gecombineerd met muzikaliteit. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

Maracu sagen über sich:
„Inspiriert von den feinsten Tänzen, die wir vielerorts aufgabeln konnten, haben wir Grooves und Melodien zusammengeschnürt. Die lassen wir mal harmonisch davon fliegen und mal fangen wir sie sanft wieder ein. Wir lassen Klangkonfetti regnen und gehen mit euch in fetten Sounds baden! Und wenn sich die Tanzbeine dabei richtig ausgetobt haben, dürfen sie zu Ohren werden und den Geschichten lauschen, die von einer nächtlichen Begegnung mit Jazz und Klezmer erzählen…“

Michael Kock – Schlagzeug
Niklas Jakob – Kontrabass
Josefine Schlät – Violine

Javallon
Foto: Javallon
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.
Mal dominiert dabei die durchdringende, treibende Drehleier, mal beflügelt das variationsreiche Zwiegespräch zwischen Geige und Akkordeon die Tänzer, und wer noch immer zögert, den lockt eine klare Stimme zum An Dro.
Jeannette Klein: Drehleier, Stimme
Dirk Niemeier:  5-saitige Geige
Herman Waldner: Akkordeon

Balfolk op de zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen met Mook en het AdHoc Orkest

Mook is een spetterend balfolktrio van trekzak, viool en snaren. Jan, André en Jochem vonden elkaar op muziekfestivals en spelen nu samen de sterren van de hemel met originele dansmuziek, vaak zelfgemaakt of gearrangeerd. Ze spelen voor iedere gelegenheid een creatief samengesteld programma met dansen, voor beginners, begonners of echte balfolkfreakies.

Op 10 december spelen zij op het bal in Enkhuizen, in de intieme kring van zeer ervaren balkfolkies waarbij zich tegenwoordig steeds meer nieuwe enthousiastelingen aansluiten.

André ten Broeke: trekzak, Jan Sijben: gitaar en mandoline, Jochem Beltman: viool

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natuurlijk is ook het Ad-Hoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) er weer bij. Hun repertoire bestaat voornamelijk uit enerverende franse balfolk muziek.

Het bal zal weer gehouden worden in het schitterende hotel/restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Tijdens het bal worden enkele korte instructies gegeven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven, Andro retourné en Suite de maraîchines.

Entree is € 7
Reserveren is niet nodig.

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.

name = "Socialles 284 — Wals in 5 en 8 én muzikaliteit"
details = """
Deze donderdag 14 december is het socialles nr 284. Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan aan de slag met de wals in 5 en 8, gecombineerd met muzikaliteit: want hoe hoor je nu precies of het een wals in 3, 5 of 8 is en wat nu als de muzikanten dat afwisselen? Enige ervaring met de wals is handig, maar niet verplicht. Deze les is mooi te combineren met de les van de week hiervoor voor de basis van de wals, maar beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

Bal met Wouter Kuyper.

Alweer balfolk in Deventer!

Balfolk Deventer is lekker dansen op live folkmuziek (alleen luisteren kan uiteraard ook)

Entree: vrijwillige donatie, zoals bijvoorbeeld € 15,-/€20,- per persoon. (contant aan de deur of een tikkie)
Geef ruim, dan kunnen we in de toekomst vaker een bal organiseren in Deventer.

Globaal tijdschema (tijden onder voorbehoud):

20:00 dansworkshop
21:00 Bal
23:00 Einde programma
23:00 Sessie
(Tijden onder voorbehoud)

Over de Dansworkshop/dansinstructie:
In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen.

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 vaak met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan mee doen.

Over Wouter Kuyper:

Samenspelen is het mooiste, een dialoog aangaan met je medemuzikanten. Maar soms is het ook gewoon tof om je eigen verhaal te kunnen vertellen.
Naast alle bands is Wouter ook in te huren als solo-artiest. Met zijn kenmerkende geluid en mooie mix van rustig en swingend balfolkrepertoire kan hij makkelijk een avondvullend programma spelen, alleen en in z'n eentje, op zijn trekzak (of andere instrumenten, je weet maar nooit).
Gewoon op een bal, bij een luisterconcert of als begeleiding op een feestje.
Maar Wouter kan ook een gezellige dansworkshop geven op bijvoorbeeld een bedrijfsfeestje of huwelijk, alleen of met een dansjuf.


Er is een bar met ruime keuze uit drankjes en een kleine keuken met (vegetarische) snacks.
Let op: op de locatie mag je geen meegebrachte etenswaren nuttigen. Kraanwater drinken/meebrengen is toegestaan."""

Balfolk
Op een bal gaat het om gezellig met elkaar te dansen. Plezier hebben is dus belangrijker dan de juiste danspasjes. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig, op een bal kan je iedereen ten dans vragen en door iedereen gevraagd worden. En soms dans je met z'n allen. Balfolk is interactie tussen muzikanten en dansers. Je zult dansen in een kring of als koppel, maar altijd met veel improvisatie en variatie, zodat iedereen kan meedoen en plezier kan hebben.

Worbla
Worbla is een thermoplastische kunststof die wordt verhit, zodat het buigzaam, klevend en kneedbaar wordt. Dan kan het in de gewenste vorm gekneed worden en afkoelen. Worbla kunststoffen kunnen eindeloos worden verhit met een heteluchtpistool en hebben geen houdbaarheid of verwerkingstijd. Zo kunnen er de meest fantastische sieraden, veren, vleugels of wapens gemaakt worden met Worbla.

Botanische tekeningen van Nynke van Zwol
Nynke heeft een fascinatie voor oude, niet-ontcijferde scripts, wat geleid heeft tot de constructie van haar eigen asemische (betekenisloze) tekens. De kalligrafische vormen en symbolen gebruikt ze in haar aquarelschilderijen en tekeningen. Vooral kleurpotlood is een favoriet materiaal van haar en zorgvuldig getekende botanische en dierlijke onderwerpen, zijn daar een bewijs van.

Kruidenreading
Bij de stand van Made by Kracht, kun je een gratis kruidenreading ontvangen van Karin Ovinge. Zij vult een schattenzakje of krachtzakje met kruiden. Dit kan op een bepaald onderwerp maar ze kan ook afstemmen op jouw energie en de kruiden uitzoeken waarvan zij denkt dat je op dat moment nodig hebt. Daar krijg je een korte omschrijving bij.

Artemis Fantasy kostuumsInge en Larissa van Artemis Fantasy maken al jaren historische en fantasy kostuums. Ze zijn dol op historische outfits, korsetten, fantasie kleding en vintage kleding. Ze laten je graag zien wat ze zoal maken aan kostuums maar ze maken ook sieraden, kroontjes en borduurwerk om het hele plaatje compleet te maken.

Workshop Fantasy tekenen
Freelance cartoonist en illustrator Sterre Richards geeft deze workshop Fantasy tekenen. Ze tekent bloedige en gepassioneerde verhalen, droevige, vrolijke verhalen, totdat het woord 'verhaal' niet langer op een woord lijkt.

Dungeons and Dragons spelen
Altijd al meer willen leren van Dungeon and Dragons het spel met veel regels en variaties? Kom dan ook.
Xavier, een ervaren Dungeon and Dragons master neemt je graag mee door het spel en legt je het uit.
Ook ervaren spelers zijn welkom.

details = """
In Rotterdam wordt kerst feestelijk gevierd met een Kerstbal op onze vaste stek in Cuartito Azul.

De band die voor ons komt spelen is PFM! Trio PFM is een balfolkband uit het westen van het land. De band is in 2020 is ontstaan en bestaat uit Frans (Natuurkunde en klarinet), Maurits (Lucht- en ruimtevaarttechniek en viool) en Pieter (Elektrotechniek en gitaar (en een beetje trekzak...)). Naast compositorisch nodeloos ingewikkelde bètanummers staan er ook rechttoe-rechtaan cercle's, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's en een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven op het menu. De nummers zijn voornamelijk eigen composities met bijdragen van alle drie de bandleden.

15 minutes of fame
Deze editie van het kerstbal is er ook het open podium, dus pak jouw eigen 15 minutes of fame! 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. 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. Dat kun je hier doen: https://forms.gle/ZvuoMHxsGjLQvTFt5 Lukt dat niet? Mail dan naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com jouw naam en welk muziekinstrument jij en je eventuele mede-muzikant(en)spelen.

Sessie
Liever niet op het open podium, maar wil je wel graag spelen? Dat kan ook gewoon tijdens de sessie achteraf, dus neem je (muzikanten)vrienden en muziekinstrumenten mee.

Kerst
Het bal is geheel in kerstsfeer. In je favoriete kerstoutfit komen mag, maar is uiteraard niet verplicht.
Het voorlopige programma is als volgt, mogelijk volgen er later nog wijzigingen.
17.00 - 18.00: Picknick
18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 - 19.45: 15 minutes of fame

Kruip uit je winterslaap, vergeet het donker en de kou, en begeef je naar de Junushoff, want twee fantastische bands komen onze harten verwarmen!

NB: Voorafgaand aan het bal is er ook nog een bijzondere workshop Baskische dansen in de Superette! Meer info: https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-baskische-dansen/

Nøkkenoc bestaat uit Aina Tulier (nyckelharpa, zang) en Sylvain Pool (cister, gitaar, zang) die elkaar in Occitanië ontmoetten. Ze zorgen voor een wonderlijk samenspel van Scandinavische en Occitaanse muziek: ze laten onze voeten dansen dankzij groovy muziek met grenzeloze invloeden, een frisse smaak van Zweden en de sterke smaak van Occitaanse kaas. Op het menu staan de gebruikelijke balfolkdansen, plús rondeau, congo, branle, polska, slängpolska, halling en meer!

L’Air Inconnu is Fabien Bucher (gitaar, mandoline, zang), Dani Velasco (viool, zang) en Sylvain Pool (accordeon, gitaar, kick, zang). De band brengt ons muzikale creaties gebaseerd op hedendaagse en traditionele dans, nieuwsgierige oren, en dieren en planten, zowel wild als getemd. Hun composities en arrangementen van traditionele thema's worden geïnspireerd door emoties en sensaties tijdens de bals en festivals: het plezier van de ontmoeting, intieme poëzie, de aanstekelijkheid van muziek, lichaamsenergie en -beweging, collectieve trans, …. Wij verheugen ons immens op dit trio, dat van elk bal een fantastisch feestje weet te maken.

Ben je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg! Entree: Regulier €20, korting €15 (indien je minder te besteden hebt). Betalen kan contant of via een QR-code. 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 waterfles is ook een aanrader. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!

We eindigen het seizoen met Duo Bottasso. De jonge geniale Italiaanse broers spelen originele balfolk met veel energie op viool en trekzak. De broers spelen samen ook in Stygiens. Simone Bottasso behoort nu al tot de Italiaanse top en speelt o.a. met de Italiaanse grootmeester: Ricardo Tessi.

Reserveren en Prijzen
Voor de seizoensafsluiting hoef je niet te reserveren. Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je bij de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen. Prijzen:

 \t€13,- (Normaaltarief),
 \t€15,- (Fair-Trade),
 \t€10,- (Kortingstarief).

Fair Trade
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)
Overig
We hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. De bar van de Moira is gesloten. Voel je vrij om je eigen drank mee te nemen. We vragen je om na het einde, de Moira stilletjes te verlaten en geen geluid te maken voor het gebouw.
Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.
Locatie
Het vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Er is geen lift.

We end the season with Duo Bottasso. The young, brilliant Italian brothers play original balfolk with a lot of energy on violin and trumpet. The brothers also play together in Stygiens. Simone Bottasso already belongs to the Italian top and plays with, among others, the Italian grandmaster: Ricardo Tessi.

Reservation and Prices

 \t€13,- (normal rate),
 \t€15,- (Fair Trade),
 \t€10,- (discount rate).

Fair Trade
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)
Remainder
We have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. The bar of Moira is closed. Feel free to bring your own drinks. We ask you to leave the Moira quietly after the end and not to make any noise in front of the building.
Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
Location
It takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall. There is no elevator."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 21 december is het socialles nr 285. Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. Zij gaan met ons aan de slag met de IJswals: een fijne, bijna traditionele dans, die een kleine opleving herbeleeft. Afhankelijk van de tijd zullen er ook nog andere dansen aan bod komen deze les. Ideeën zijn welkom!

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

 \tAérokorda

Aérokorda is opgericht in 2016 en kan het best omschreven worden als neofolk met keltische, slavische en klassieke invloeden, deze komen duidelijk naar voor in de eigen composities van de band.

De op dat moment nog kersverse groep bracht in 2017 al een eerste album uit, 'Hush the wolves'. Aérokorda kreeg daardoor al snel de kans om enkele mooie optredens te geven in zowel binnen- als buitenland.

Om nog meer te groeien, beslisten de jonge wolven om deel te nemen aan twee muziekwedstrijden, die ze ook allebei wonnen. Met trots mogen ze de Folkarria concurso (Spanje) en de Mauro Burnelli Concorso (Italië) op hun palmares schrijven. Voor de tweede plaat 'Ashes fell' (2021) heeft Aérokorda meer tijd genomen en is de ondertussen internationale band vrijer gaan experimenteren met verschillende invloeden. De nummers rijpten langer, waardoor de groep nog meer een eigen sound ontwikkelde.

Het Belgische trio bestaat uit Pavel Souvandjiev (viool), Adriaan Van Wonterghem (gitaar) en Davy Cautaerts (Irish whistle, octaafmandoline).

Pavel heeft Bulgaarse roots, is klasssiek geschoold en toerde over heel Europa met zijn duo ‘Les Botinnes Artistiques’. Adriaan, ook klassiek geschoold, begon tijdens zijn studies te experimenteren met alternatieve gitaarstemmingen en eigen composities. Hij speelt onder meer ook bij folkgroep Boreas. Davy specialiseerde zich vele jaren in Keltische muziek en leidt wekelijkse Ierse sessies in een Irish pub in Gent.

De drie goede vrienden spelen niet enkel samen in Aérokorda, ze doen ook menig podium daveren met Sanseveria en Makaram.

 \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!

We typically dance on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of each month. 
For years, the Hayward Contra has drawn dancers from all over the Bay Area and beyond. 
Some of the unique features that have drawn a loyal following are: 
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. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.

Zingen en balfolk? Gaat dat samen? Zeker wel. Leon en Claudia leren je alles!

Voor ons gaat balfolk om gevoel, energie en connectie van de dansers en muziek. Dit willen we delen, dus in deze workshop gaan we samen zingen en dansen. We zullen een aantal groepsdansen uitleggen, liedjes zingen en daarna proberen dit te combineren. Dit zijn met name Bretonse dansen, zoals hanterdro en rond de Loudéac.

Zangervaring is niet nodig, enige danservaring is wel prettig (denk aan half-gevorderd/niveau 2 van stages). Als je, om welke reden dan ook, alleen wilt zingen of alleen dansen ben je ook welkom. De meeste teksten zijn Frans, maar laat dat je niet afschrikken. La-di-da… is altijd welkom als je niet uit de woorden komt. Na inschrijving sturen we teksten en geluidsbestanden door, voor wie dat prettig vindt.

Wij kijken uit naar een fijne middag samen zingen en dansen en hopen je daar te zien.

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Musac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.
Dansen zijn o.a. bourrée, scottish, jigue, andro, tovercirkel, wals, dubbele klappolka en nog veel meer.
De dansavonden zijn bedoeld voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er wordt tussen de dansen door korte dans-instructie verzorgd. De sfeer is ontspannen en samen plezier hebben staat voorop.
't Volkshoes heeft een grote zaal met goede houten vloer. Drankjes verkrijgbaar (koelkast/penning). Schuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.

Voorafgaand aan de maandelijkse dansavond is er vanaf 19 uur een klein uurtje samen musiceren voor de liefhebbers. Alle instrumenten zijn welkom.
Hieraan zijn geen kosten verbonden. Evt. bladmuziek vooraf opvragen.

Je mag ook komen luisteren en van de muziek genieten.

name = "Socialles 286 — Rondeau en chaine / en couple"
details = """
Deze donderdag 11 januari is het socialles nr 286. Docent deze week is Isobel. Zij gaat met ons aan de slag met de rondeau, zowel die in een rij en in de groep als de versie die je in een koppel kunt dansen. Wat zijn de stapjes, cadans, energie en wat kun je ermee? Let op: deze les is Engelstalig, maar er zijn genoeg mensen aanwezig die voor je kunnen vertalen.

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."""

Mara Menzel Solo (DE)

Foto: Gudrun Senger
Ein Akkordeon, eine Stimme und selbstgeschriebene Melodien
Mara Menzel spielt seit sie zum 18. Geburstag ein diatonisches Akkordeon geschenkt bekam mit Bands wie „Stimmt so.“, „Searching the Roots“, „Lunesk“ oder „Knopfgemurmel“ zuerst auf Bühnen in Deutschland und dann in Europa. Mit der Zeit sind viele Melodien zu Balfolk-Stücken geworden, sodass sie seit einigen Jahren nun auch mit ihrem Soloset auftritt. In ihren Stücken stecken Geschichten, Lebensfreude und viel Gefühl. Selbst vom Tanz kommend, kombiniert sie ihren Spaß mit der Erfahrung als Musikerin und Tänzerin.
Ihr könnt euch bei ihrem Solo-Konzert auf mehrsprachigen Gesang, viel Spaß, und eine offene und warme Atmosphäre freuen.

Trio Loubelya (FR)
Trio Loubelya © Irène Strub be
„Intim und wortgewandt, virtuos und traditionsbewusst zugleich: ein Ball mit Trio Loubelya ist bewegend. Gleich der Komplizenschaft, die zwischen seinen Mitgliedern von Ball zu Ball auf den Straßen Europas geboren ist. Die erhabene Atmung des Akkordeons beherbergt eine Spielwiese, auf der Klarinette und Saxophon, mal subtil, mal verspielt, die runde Tiefe des Kontrabasses herausfordern. Drei starke Persönlichkeiten: Marie Constant, Florent Lalet und Rolland Martinez. Hier verschmelzen sie zu einer Vierten: dem Trio Loubelya. Loubelya bedeutet lebendig“.

We typically dance on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of each month. 
For years, the Hayward Contra has drawn dancers from all over the Bay Area and beyond. 
Some of the unique features that have drawn a loyal following are: 
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. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.

details = """
Deze donderdag 18 januari is het socialles nr 287. Docent deze week is René. We gaan aan de slag met de basis van de mazurka. Wat zijn de stapjes en danshouding en wat kun je ermee als je net begint met de mazurka? Deze les is mooi te combineren met die van volgende week, waarbij we dieper op de mazurka in gaan en ook kijken naar muzikaliteit in deze dans. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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

 \tKV Express

De autodidactische Belgische accordeonist is al stevig verankerd in de wereld van knoopmuziek. Ze leidt haar eigen projecten frontaal en biedt haar talent aan anderen aan, ze heeft zich in een paar jaar verspreid over de Belgische en internationale scenes een nieuw diatonisch geluid dat kracht, charme en gevoeligheid combineert.

 \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.

Er komt opnieuw een balfolk in Groningen!

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 met Androneda
22:30 sessie
23:00 einde programma

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!!

Over Androneda:
Androneda is een Nederlandse balfolkband. We spelen traditionele West-Europese dansmuziek, maar dan op een hedendaagse manier!
Op doedelzak, trekzak en saxofoon brengen we grotendeels eigen composities ten gehore. Onze arrangementen zijn speels en spannend; onze nummers energiek en swingend, maar ook regelmatig intiem, met melodieën die blijven hangen. Het centrale uitgangspunt in onze muziek is altijd de dansbaarheid ervan!

Muzikanten:
Wouter Kuyper op trekzak en doedelzak
Lenny de Rooy op doedelzak en zang
Patricia Swart op sopraansaxofoon en baritonsaxofoon

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 19 januari kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen is KV Express.

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. Je hoeft mede daarom niet te reserveren voor dit bal, je kunt vrij binnen komen lopen. 

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
20:00: Start dansuitleg
21:00: Bal!
23:00: 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.

Balfolk op de zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen op 21 januari 2024

Dit keer met De Houtzagerij en het AdHoc Orkest 

Hoera!!!!  Het eerste bal in 2024 in Die Port van Cleve te Enkhuizen is voor de fantastische groep De “Houtzagerij\". De ‘Houtzagerij’ bestaat uit een groep strijkers die swingende dansmuziek speelt. Zowel in de Zweedse als in de Franse volksmuziektraditie zijn dit soort violengroepen heel gebruikelijk. Het grootste deel van het repertoire van de Houtzagerij bestaat uit traditionele folkmuziek uit België, Frankrijk en Zweden. Alle nummers arrangeren de groepsleden zelf met meerdere stemmen en begeleiding. De groep bestaat al zo’n vijftien jaar en het aantal strijkers varieerde tot nu toe van drie tot twaalf. Op het bal in Enkhuizen bestaat de groep uit: Marieke van der Hoek, Katrin Herzberg, Marianne Heselmans (viool), Hester de Boer (quinton), Samy Ouahsine (altviool) en Theo Hofstede (nyckelharpa).

En natuurlijk is ons vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (de huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) ook weer van de partij. Hun repertoire bestaat voornamelijk uit enerverende Franse en Vlaamse dansmuziek. Wanneer nodig zullen er tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies gegeven worden voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.

Het bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Dijk 74-76 te Enkhuizen.

Entree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig."""

Country Dancers of Westchester presents Ease & Elegance, its renowned style workshop and dance party for experienced English country dancers. 
This year’s session, The Hands Are Dancing, presents an anatomy of how the hands and arms work best to enhance our dancing pleasure. Teacher Paul Ross lays out the fundamentals of good handwork with 10 Tips for Good Hand Turns. Musicians Pali Matej, violin; Sue Polansky, clarinet; and Robin Russell, piano, will raise our spirits and quicken our steps with their matchless music. 
We open with the workshop, then a short break, and end with a joyful dance party, in which one good turn deserves another (and another, and another. . .).

details = """
Deze donderdag 25 januari is het socialles nr 288. Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan verder aan de slag met de mazurka. Hoe ga je van stapjes naar echt mazurka dansen, wat kun je ermee, hoe dans je deze fijn samen en wat kun je met de muziek terwijl je danst? Deze les is mooi te combineren met die van vorige week, waarbij we de basis van de mazurka hebben behandeld. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.

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."""

This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia and we often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Caller: Tod Whittemore from Connecticut, Tod has been calling dances for forty years, having been lucky enough to begin his career at the time when famous callers Ralph Page and Duke Miller were still active in the Monadnock Region. Tod has called dances all over the world, and is known for his humor, energy, and infectious love of dancing!
Live Music by Dogtown, featuring Becky Miller (fiddle), Norb Spencer (accordion), and Avi Randall (keyboards). They play a mix of New England, French Canadian, Scottish, and Quebecois dance tunes, as well as old time southern dance tunes and sung calls. They are a highly desired band to play at contra dances!
Admission: $10 adults, $7 students. Donations gratefully accepted!
Homemade pie slices! This month we offer pumpkin pie and other kinds of fall pies! These delicious pie slices are offered at the break for $3/slice to help support the band and caller.
Role Terms are “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men), but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual; layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Parking: Plenty of parking in the large parking area next to the building!"""

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.

Mijn eigen melodieën. En misschien is er hier en daar meer te ontdekken. . .

name = "Socialles 289 — Dansetiquette"
details = """
Deze donderdag 1 februari is het socialles nr 289. Docenten deze week zijn Kelly en Ellen. Niet geheel onbelangrijk: nu we al wat basisdansen en technieken hebben behandeld, ook tijd voor dansetiquette! Hoe kun je fijn als koppel en als groep dansen in een ruimte, zonder een dans geweld aan te doen, waar kun je op letten en hoe zorg je goed voor elkaar? Hoe houden we een cirkel een cirkel en geen ei of spiraal bijvoorbeeld? Geen zorgen, het is geen les vol regels en gepraat, we gaan ook genoeg dansen!

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."""

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 2 februari kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. De band die voor ons komt spelen is Nachtmuziek. Dat is een swingende balfolkcombinatie 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 muziek en lyrisch verhalend eigen werk.

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. Daarom is het ook niet nodig om tevoren te reserveren, je kunt zo binnen komen lopen. 

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.

New Time: Dance 7:30-10:30pm [basics session 7:15 pm]
This is so wicked fun! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia and we often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time! So come enjoy the friendly camaraderie, dance to live music and see everyone’s smiling faces!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual, layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged).
Food: Some snacks offered at the break and contributions are welcome and needed!
Caller: Billy Fischer. Bill, a well-respected square and contra dance caller, has been calling dances for over thirty years, starting out in New Haven, Connecticut with the contra dance series that has been a fixture of the folk music and dance scene since 1976. In addition to contra dances in and around the northeast, he has called at various dance camps regionally and nationally.
Much of his calling activity centers on special occasion “barn” dances including the monthly musical event BMAD at his home in Bethany, CT. Other such events include school dances, private parties, special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, and dances in extended care facilities where he has done dances for people using wheel-chairs and walkers.
Live Music: Headwaters is made up of Jim and Willow Sirch and Gary Wikfors playing their Swedish nykelharpas, five-string fiddle, Irish blackwood flute, octave mandola, bodhran and banjo. You no doubt know them as members of the venerable New Haven-based band The Fiddleheads that has been playing for New England contra dances for thirty years.
Admission: $13.00 per person OR, Students (with ID, please) pay $6. Donations are greatly appreciated and encouraged!
Free Parking: There is plenty of free parking right in front of the hall.
Role Terms: “Ladies & Gents” but all dancers are welcome to dance whichever role their heart desires."""

PROGRAMMA (VOLLEDIG)
- 13:30 Deuren gaan open
De bereikbaarheid van De Omval is heel goed. Het ligt op 10 minuten lopen van NS Station Diemen (niet Diemen Zuid dus!!) en 10 minuten lopen vanaf tramlijn 19. En in de omgeving van De Omval is het op zondag vrij parkeren, op de zones voor vergunninghouders na. Wil je overdekt staan dan kun je gebruik maken van de (betaalde) parkeergarage tegenover De Omval.

Je wordt ontvangen in de foyer en je kunt gebruik maken van de garderobe.

- 14:00 – 16:00 Dansworkshop voor gevorderden
Workshop bourree met Marc. Voor deze workshop verwachten we een vrijwillige bijdrage ter dekking van de zaalhuur en reiskosten van de docent.


- 14:30 – 15:30 Dansworkshop voor beginners
De dansintroductie wordt verzorgd door Gepke en Berend. De instructie wordt live begeleid door Duo Baftig. Beginners kunnen na de introductie met een aantal dansen prima meekomen en het gehele bal meedoen.

- 15:30 – 16:15 Bal met Duo Baftig
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!

16:30 – 18:30 L'Air Inconnu
Dani Velasco en Sylvain Pool zijn trots en blij hun muziekproject te delen met Fabien Bucher.

Samen zijn ze een creatief muzikaal trio. Ze maken muziek ten dienste van de moderne traditionele dans, en nieuwsgierige oren.

- 18:30 – 19:30 Picknick in de foyer
Een Balfolk Picknick is iets om mee te maken: Alle balfolkies komen naar het bal met een gerecht en dat delen ze met elkaar. De een maakt een pasta salade, de ander bakt een taart, iemand neemt stokbrood mee of iets om daar dan weer op te smeren. Alles mag! Hou er wel rekening mee dat veel balfolkies vegetariër zijn, dus maak liever niets waar vlees in zit. Zet op je maaltijd of het vegan of vegetaries is. Na de picknick ruimen we alles netjes op, vegen de kruimels weg en gaan weer dansen met nieuwe energie!

- 19:30 – 21:30 Tref!
Dat accordeonmuziek meer is dan oubollige muziek in zweterige cafés, dat weten we al lang. Wie nog steeds twijfelt, heeft Tref nog nooit live aan het werk gezien. Tref is Vlaanderen en Wallonië verenigd, zoals het hoort, met Wim Claeys en Didier Laloy, twee ervaren trekzakspelers op hun diatonische accordeon. Voor Tref vormen ze een kwartet met hun oude leraar, Bruno Le Tron en de Franse Frédéric Malempré op worldpercussion.


- 21:30 – 22:30 Jam sessie in de foyer tijdens het opruimen
Aan ieder bal komt een eind en dat betekent de zaal opruimen, podium afbreken, stoelen weg, vegen etc. Het is fijn als je dan even wilt helpen! Heb je je instrument bij je dan kan je ook in de foyer collega muzikanten opzoeken en samen jammen. Dat is een fijne begeleiding bij het afsluitende drankje.

- 22:30 Einde
Rond 22:30 gooien we iedereen er uit zodat alle balfolkies ook nog een beetje op tijd in bed liggen.

Op 6 februari is de proefles voor het volgen van de lessen bij Balfolk Express. Van 13 februari tot en met 25 juni zal er wekelijks les zijn op dinsdagavond (19 lessen + 1 proefles)

Voor meer informatie en aanmelden: www.balfolkexpress.nl/lessen 

Groep 1: Getting into Balfolk

In deze groep leer je de verschillende basis Balfolk dansen zoals de jig, tovercirkel, andro, hanterdro, scottish, mazurka, wals in 3 en polka. Je leert hoe je een goede danshouding aanneemt en contact kan maken met je danspartner. Dit doen we in zowel koppeldansen als groepsdansen.

Deze groep is geschikt voor jou wanneer je nieuw bent in Balfolk of al enkele bals gedanst hebt, maar nog nooit een lessenreeks hebt gevolgd. Het doel is om samen met plezier te leren dansen en te zorgen dat iedereen groeit in zijn of haar dans, ongeacht hoe lang je al danst.













Groep 2: Continuing (y)our Balfolk journey

In groep 2 gaan we aan de slag met zowel het verder verkennen van de basisdansen als het aanleren van enkele nieuwe dansen. Samen ontdekken we variaties en het gebruik van muziek in onze dansen. We gaan dieper in op connectie maken en eigen input geven in de dans. Verder leer je een stevige basis voor de bourrée in 2.

Het doel is om iedereen een stap verder te brengen dan de basis zodat je kan gaan variëren tijdens het dansen en meer plezier kan halen uit de bals.

Voor deze groep wordt verwacht dat je een scottish, wals in 3, mazurka, jig, tovercirkel, andro en hanterdro kan dansen op een basis level.

Deze donderdag 1 februari is het socialles nr 290. Docent deze week is Leo. Hij laat ons deze week kennismaken met fest noz: een Bretons balfolkdansfeest. Hoe gaat dat in z'n werk, welke dansen kunnen er voorbij komen en wat maakt zo'n avond zo leuk? Mooie voorbereiding voor het bal op 17 februari in Hoorn!

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."""

9 FEBRUARI

DRAKENBAL DEN BOSCH 

Na de eerste twee succesvolle bals in 's-Hertogenbosch  zal er vrijdag 9 februari een derde bal plaatsvinden boordevol muziek, dans en gezelligheid!

's-Hertogenbosch is met de komst van Drakenbal ontwaakt! Tijdens de eerste twee bals hebben wij als bossche draakjes enorm genoten van alle vrolijke mensen en fijne dansjes. Ook de sessie na het bal was volgens ons een enorm succes. Onder leiding van David hebben we nog veel fijne dansen kunnen dansen. Het spreekt dan ook voor zich dat wij nog niet klaar zijn met Drakenbal en graag nog heel veel fijne avonden voor jullie willen organiseren in s'-Hertogenbosch.  Net zoals vorige edities zal er dit keer ook weer ruimte zijn voor een sessie na het bal, dus.... neem vooral je instrumenten mee... !

DANSINITIATIE 20:00-21:00

Is het je eerste keer? Maak je geen zorgen! Vanaf 20:00 is er een dansinitiatie onder leiding van Paul en Bo. Zij zullen je de beginselen leren van een aantal standaard dansen en voortborduren op dansen die tijdens het vorige Drakenbal zijn uitgelegd, zodat je steeds wat meer ervaring op doet!

LIVE BAND 21:00-22:30

Voor nu is de live band nog niet bekend. We hebben verschillende bands voor de verschillende evenementen die wij gepland hebben bij Cafe Station Zuid. Via onze Social Media (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554737720477) zullen wij jullie op de hoogte houden van de band. Later zullen wij dit evenement op balfolk.nl ook aanpassen zodat iedereen weet naar welke band ze komen luisteren. Voor nu willen we het evenement in ieder geval tijdig communiceren zodat jullie een plekje in jullie agenda kunnen bewaren voor het Drakenbal! 

JAMSESSIE 22:30- uiterlijk 1:00

Na het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen. We dragen de folkmuziek een warm hart toe en het is onze wens dat de muziekscene in Den Bosch steeds groter en actiever wordt. Schroom dus niet om je instrument te pakken en mee te spelen, iedereen is welkom! Ook als je niet bij het dansen bent geweest, ben je welkom voor de sessie! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!

VERSNAPERINGEN

In de bar boven kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje! Bij drukte gaat de bar beneden ook open. Daar staan tevens gratis gezonde snacks en heerlijk vers (vruchten)water klaar..

Lene is binnenkort jarig en ze vindt het leuk om voor haar verjaardag samen met jullie iets nieuws te leren! Daarom heeft ze Max en Isolde uitgenodigd om op vrijdag 9 februari bij Balfolk Zeist een workshop te geven over dansen uit de Franse regio Limousin.

Limousin, het buurmeisje van de Auvergne, is een streek die in Frankrijk de laatste jaren flink in opmars is in de traditionele muziek en dansscène. De redenen daarvoor zijn de vrolijke muziek en opzwepende dansen.

Max groeide in deze prachtige streek in Frankrijk op en leerde als kind al de muziek uit deze regio goed kennen. Zijn vader was één van de muzikanten in de jaren 70 en 80 die de muziek en dans verzameld heeft. Wij, Max en Isolde, willen jullie tijdens deze workshop 2 zeer belangrijke dansen uit dit gebied leren: de sautiere en (hoe kan het ook anders!) een bourrée uit Corrèze.

Deze workshop is geschikt voor iedereen die de bourrée (in twee en/of drie tijden) al een beetje beheerst. (Begonners tot gevorderden)."""

Dancing is to live fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Live music by Truffle Creek from Boston. They are Lillian Chase on the fiddle, Jonah Spear on guitar and foot percussion, and Cecily Mills on the cello. They draw heavily from the old time genre for their tune selections, but certainly don’t limit themselves to a singular tradition for repertoire selection. Together these three bring creativity, variety, tradition, and joy to any room they find themselves making music in.
Caller: Paul Wilde from Rhode Island.
Admission (your choice): $10 – $12 p.p., $6 – $8 students, families $25. Donations are gratefully appreciated!
Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the church. Drive up State Street, take a left behind the church, and walk down Gertrude Street to enter the hall.

!Voor Nederlands: scroll naar beneden!



After a successful first edition, the second Superette ball will take place in Wageningen on February 11! This time not planned on my birthday. If you are new to balfolk dancing, don't worry! There is a dance initiation at 14:00 after which you can swing along.

Location: The Superette

The superette is a cultural center in a former boxing school in Wageningen. Many different cultural events are organized here. Whether it concerns art, music or dance, it is a place for everything that brings people together in a creative way. The superette runs entirely on voluntary donations and this ball will therefore also be given on a voluntary donation basis. Various drinks will also be availableat the bar, also on the basis of voluntary donation.

The bands:

Artisjok:       Artisjok consists of Yvette Maussart and Kris van 't Klooster. They met with mandolins in hand. With a love for pleasant atmospheres and fun, they play their own compositions as well as existing songs. Two-part harmony, rhythmic interplay and an occasional excursion towards the East.

Nubia:           Dancing, fun, music, dreams, clouds, that's what Nubia stands for. With roots in the Netherlands and Scandinavian influences, this duo makes music to dance to or dream away to while you listen. Nubia consists of Kris van 't Klooster on mandolin and Tim Hofmeester on DADGAD guitar.

Na een succesvolle eerste editie zal op 11 Februari zal het tweede Superette bal in Wageningen plaatsvinden! Dit keer niet gepland op mijn verjaardag.

Locatie: De superette

De superette is een cultureel centrum in een voormalige Boksschool in Wageningen. Vele uiteenlopende culturele evenementen worden hier georganiseerd. Of het nou gaat om kunst, muziek of dans, het is een plek voor alles wat mensen samenbrengt in op een creatieve manier. De superette draait volledig op vrijwillige donaties en dit bal zal dus ook op vrijwillige donatie basis gegeven worden. Ook zullen er verscheidende drankjes beschikbaar zijn, tevens op basis van vrijwillige donatie.

De bands:

Artisjok:       Artisjok bestaat uit Yvette Maussart en Kris van ’t Klooster. Ze hebben elkaar ontmoet met de mandolines in de hand. Met de liefde voor fijne sferen en plezier, spelen ze eigen en bestaande nummers. Tweestemmigheid, ritmisch samenspel en af en toe een uitstapje richting het Oosten. 


Nubia:           Dansen, plezier, muziek, gezelligheid, dromen, wolken, dat is waar Nubia voor staat. Met roots in Nederland en met Scandinavische invloeden maakt dit duo muziek om op te dansen, of om bij weg te dromen terwijl je luistert. Nubia bestaat uit Kris van 't Klooster op mandoline en Tim Hofmeester op DADGAD gitaar.

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)."""

As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules.

Wil je balfolk leren dansen? Kom op woensdag 14 februari naar de proefles van de nieuwe reeks balfolklessen in Amsterdam.
<<Koop hier je ticket>>
Lesprogramma
Drie groepen: een beginnersgroep (groep 1), een begonnersgroep (groep 2) en een groep die verder leert (groep 3).

Groep 1: Beginners. Het allereerste begin van de balfolkdansen. We gaan aan de slag met de basis-passen van veel gedanste groeps- en koppeldansen en enkele eenvoudige variaties hierop. Aan bod komen: jig, tovercirkel, scottish, polka en enkele Bretonse dansen. We gaan al luisterend naar de muziek, deze dansen leren onderscheiden en gevoel krijgen voor het ritme. En we besteden aandacht aan een goede danshouding.

Groep 2: Begonners. Voor dansers die al eerder danslessen hebben gevolgd. Aan bod komen de wals, mazurka, bourree, rondeau-en-couple en wat kleine dansen. We diepen de geleerde dansen uit en besteden aandacht aan de variaties in de eerder (in groep 1) geleerde dansen. Hierbij komen de techniek in koppeldansen maar ook in rij- en cirkeldansen, communicatie in de dans en dans-etiquette aan bod.

Groep 3: Verder leren. Voor dansers die de eerste twee groepen doorlopen hebben, of al ervaren zijn. We nodigen gastdocenten uit om thema’s verder met ons uit te diepen. Daarnaast besteden we veel aandacht aan de kwaliteit van de dans en gaan we op zoek naar antwoorden: Wat vertel je elkaar in een wals? Hoe wordt een mazurka echt fijn? Polska? Bourree in 3?
Lesdata
Deze serie bestaat uit een proefles, 10 reguliere lessen en een eindbal op de woensdagavond. De proefles is toegankelijk voor iedereen. Je kunt in de proefles meedoen bij de groep die je wilt. Na de proefles kun je beslissen of je doorgaat en in overleg met de docenten beslissen welke groep het best past.

Reguliere lessen zijn er wekelijks na de proefles. De preciesed datums volgen nog. De serie wordt afgesloten met een mini-bal.

details = """
Deze donderdag 15 februari is het socialles nr 291. Docent deze week is Noelia. We gaan aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden, de basis daarvan. Wat zijn de stapjes, hoe kun je fijn met z'n tweeën in het ritme blijven en hoe kun je veel afstand - of juist heel kleine stappen - maken in deze koppeldans op afstand? Deze les combineert mooi met de volgende lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los te volgen.

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."""

 \tFahrenheit

Fahrenheit brengt hun traditionele, electro-pop Bretonse muziek naar de populairste dansvloeren van Europa. Van Gennetines tot Boombal en overal in Bretagne is 96° F de minimumtemperatuur. Wanneer de motoren starten en de dansers beginnen op te stijgen met een vol en levendig geluid... geen veiligheidsgordel nodig!

 \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.

Fahrenheit verwandeln die Fertigkeiten von vier Musikern und Sängern in pure Tanzmusik. Sie bringen ihre traditionellen Elektro-Pop-Einflüsse auf die angesagtesten Tanzflächen Europas. Von Gennetines bis Boombal und überall in der Bretagne — wo sie sind, herrschen mindestens 96° F. Wenn ihre musikalischen Triebwerke anspringen, heben Tanzende zu dem vollen und vibrierenden Sound ab. Anschnallen optional!

Stefano Baldan spielt ein abwechslungsreiches Balfolk Repertoire, gespeist aus zeitlosen, traditionellen Stücken, Covers und Eigenkompositionen. Er liebt es zu experimentieren, das Alte mit dem Neuen zu verbinden, auf der Suche nach einer feinen Balance zwischen Tradition und Innovation. Mit irischer Mandoline, Gesang, Stomp Box, und elektro-akustischen Effekten kreiert er einen ansprechenden und energetischen Mix, der garantiert die Füße in Bewegung bringt. Im Dezember 2021 veröffentlichte er sein zweites Solo Album „Ancora“.

Over Wouter Kuyper 

Wouter Kuyper speelt doedelzak, fluit en trekharmonica en laat zich inspireren door Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse (balfolk-)muziek. Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak.

Wat is een Fest Noz? Een Fest Noz is de traditionele naam voor een dansfeest in Bretagne. Tijdens deze dag/avond zullen 3 groepen komen spelen met bretonse roots. Tijdens dit evenement zullen veel bretonse dansen gespeeld worden maar ook koppeldansen en andere balfolk dansen zullen zeker langs komen.

Programma

12:00 – 15:00 – Workshop Bretonse Avant-Deux
15:15 – 16:15 – Dansuitleg door Mikuláš Bryan
16:30 – 18:30 – Nij
18:30 – 19:30 – Picknick
19:30 – 21:30 – Bal Lab
21:45 – 23:15 – Ivan du Reve

Praktische informatie

De locatie is op loop afstand van het station Hoorn de laatste trein naar utrecht gaat nog na 12 uur ’s avonds dus je kunt het einde van het bal goed meemaken!
Met de auto is de locatie ook goed te bereiken. Er op Zondag gratis geparkeerd worden in de buurt maar controleer dit goed want er zijn gedeeltes alleen voor vergunninghouders. Er is altijd de optie om bij de P&R bij het station te parkeren.
Op de locatie is een bar aanwezig met verschillende opties aan drinken en alcoholische dranken. Verder heeft de locatie ook eten te koop (denk hierbij aan frituur en tosti’s etc). De locatie wordt onderhouden door vrijwilligers en de opbrengten van de bar worden gebruiken om deze vrijwilligers te ondersteunen en de locatie beschikbaar te houden voor evenementen. Het is niet verboden om eigen drinken mee te nemen maar het wordt erg gewaardeerd als er ook een aantal consumpties bij de bar gehaald worden. Eten en Drinken wordt gekocht met consumptiebonnen welke met pin en contant gekocht kunnen worden. Consumptiebonnen die over zijn kunnen aan het eind van de avond weer ingeruild worden of een volgende keer gebruikt worden.

Dansuitleg

De dansuitleg is gratis te volgen voor iedereen en geeft een introductie voor mensen om de meeste dansen op de avond te kunnen dansen. Deze dansuitleg zal gegeven worden door Mikuláš Bryan uit Tsjechië. Deze musikant en docent heeft bretonse roots en geeft internationaal les in deze dansen en zal ons in een uur voorbereiden om zoveel mogelijk van de dansen mee te kunnen doen!

Picknick

Net zoals andere keren hebben we weer een picknick! We vragen alle deelnemers dus om een bordje en bestek mee te nemen (bij voorkeur herbruikbaar ivm het mileu) en iets lekkers voor de picknick. We zetten alle gerechten op een tafel en iederen kan overal een beetje van pakken voor een mooie gebalanceerde maaltijd. Probeer ook een kaartje of papiertje oid te maken om aan te geven of je gerecht bijvoorbeeld vegatarisch is of voor speciale dieten geschikt is. Dat helpt mensen die bepaalde dieëten volgen heel erg! (vooral bij gerechten in bijvoorbeeld bladerdeeg kan het soms echt giswerk worden anders)

Workshop

Voorafgaand aan het bal zal er een workshop gegeven worden door een docent die uit bretagne komt en de dansen vanaf jongs af aan heeft geleerd! De workshop zal gegeven worden in het Engels! Deze workshop moet los voor betaald worden. Tijdens de workshop is de bar nog niet open, we raden dus aan om zelf eten en drinken mee te nemen om te nuttigen tijdens de workshop.

Prijzen

We willen de echte Fest Noz sfeer neerzetten en halen daarom Bands uit Bretagne zelf of bands met roots in deze regio. Hierdoor maken we veel kosten voor zaken als reiskosten. De musikanten, docenten en technici ontvangen een markt conform tarief voor hun optredes.

Bal: 35 euro
Workshop: 25 euro

BalFolk met Wouter Kuyper

Op het Balfolk van 18 februari in Enkhuizen kunnen we heerlijk dansen op de prachtige muziek van Wouter Kuyper. Wouter speelt in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux en Androneda, maar in Enkhuizen komt hij solo. Wanneer hij solo speelt, bespeelt hij voornamelijk de trekharmonica en brengt hij voor een groot deel zijn eigen composities; van opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem, swingende scottishes, romantische mazurka's, een verstilde gavotte de 'l Aven en dynamische cercle's. Wouter houdt van bals en van dansen en heeft in de loop der jaren een geweldig balrepertoire opgebouwd.

En natuurlijk is ons vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (de huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) ook weer van de partij. Hun repertoire bestaat voornamelijk uit enerverende Franse en Vlaamse dansmuziek. 

Wanneer nodig zullen er tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies gegeven worden voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.

Het bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen. Dijk 74-76 te Enkhuizen.
Entree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig."""

Yes, we have a new name! The Mystic Pie Dance!
Time: Dance 7:30-10:30 pm [short basics session @ 7:15 pm]
This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! We dance to live music—the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Appalachia, and America. We often switch partners after every dance, so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Live Music by The Dead Sea Squirrels. Don’t be fooled by the unlikely name—you’re gonna love dancing to Cathy Mason on fiddle; Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, and mandolin (but not all at the same time!); and Henry Yoshimura on guitar. They play widely for contra dances and are known for their danceable tunes arranged in medleys designed to closely match and enhance the movements of the particular contra dance being taught/called. They tend to push the boundaries of the southern style with fiddle and fiddle/guitar harmonies!
Caller: Paul Wilde from RI. Paul was a schoolteacher for 16 years and said that his classroom experience helped him to develop his calling skills on the dance floor.
Admission: $10 adults, $7 students. Donations gratefully accepted!
Homemade Pie Slices! This month we offer pumpkin pie and other kinds of fall pies! These delicious pie slices are offered at the break for $3/slice to help support the band and caller.
Role Terms are: “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men) but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual, layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneaker are discouraged but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Parking: Plenty of parking in the large parking area next to the building!"""

name = "ECD Atlanta Regular Dance"
details = """
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)."""

name = "Socialles 292 — Bourrée in 2 variaties (1)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 29 februari is het socialles nr 292. Docent deze week is Rick. We gaan aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en wat variaties daarin. Hoe zit het met stapjes, wat kun je aan variaties in deze dans en zijn er andere choreographieën mogelijk? Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los te volgen.

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."""

Time: Dance 7:30-10:30pm [short basics session 7:15 pm]
This is so wicked fun! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Appalachia & America! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time! So come enjoy the friendly camaraderie, dance to live music and see everyone’s smiling faces!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual; layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged).
Food: Some snacks offered at the break and contributions are welcome and needed!
Caller: George Thomson. George is a traditional New England dance leader, calling fun, easy, and family-friendly circles dances, squares, and longways sets for barn and contra dances. He enjoys calling singing squares in the style of the late Ralph Sweet. He also plays the great highland bagpipes!.
Live Music: The Dead Sea Squirrels. Don’t be fooled by the unlikely name: You’re gonna love dancing to Cathy Mason on fiddle; Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, and mandolin (but not all at the same time!); and Henry Yoshimura on guitar. They play widely for contra dances and are known for their danceable tunes arranged in medleys designed to closely match and enhance the movements of the particular contra dance being taught/called. They tend to push the boundaries of the southern style with fiddle and fiddle/guitar harmonies!
Admission: $13.00 per person OR students (with ID, please) pay $6. Donations are greatly appreciated and encouraged!
Free Parking: There is plenty of free parking right in front of the hall.
Role Terms: “Ladies & Gents” but all dancers are welcome to dance whichever role their heart desires."""

English country dancing runs the gamut from sublime to silly, from elegant to energetic, and the dance repertoire draws from over 350 years of material. Our series offers delectable live music and skilled callers from the Bay Area and beyond. You can come by yourself or with friends, since we change partners after each dance. If you’ve ever done contra or square dancing, much of our dance vocabulary will be familiar to you since both of those styles evolved from English country dancing. 
The dance is held the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, 2-4:30 pm, to live music, all levels of experience welcome; and occasional 5th Sundays for Advanced dancers. Admission is $15 for members of NBCDS and its affiliates, $8 for young adults ages 19-30, and $3 for youth ages 6-18. Call 707-829-3478 for more information or contact kalia@nbcds.org

Deze donderdag 14 maart is het socialles nr 293. Docent deze week is Leo. We gaan verder aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en brengen deze nog een niveautje hoger. Stapjes, variaties en choreographieën daar gelaten, hoe krijg je lol, energie en connectie met je danspartner in deze koppeldans op afstand? Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los te volgen.

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."""

name = "Huiskamerbal"
details = """
Op vijdag 8 maart wordt er balfolk gedanst in de woonkamer van de Brouwketel. Deze vrijdagavond organiseren we een huiskamerbal met twee bands die allebei een binding hebben met rivieren. Feather and Fox is een balfolk duo met cello en mandoline die je op steeds meer plekken hoort spelen in Europa. Van het open podium op Gennetines en Cadansa, tot geprogrammeerd op meerdaagse festivals in Polen en Litouwen. Flos is een nieuwe Nederlandse band met bekende gezichten uit de balfolkwereld.

Van 19:00 tot 19:30 geeft Louise een korte dansuitleg, zodat ook iedereen die nog nooit eerder Balfolk gedanst heeft mee kan doen tijdens het bal. Ervaren dansers uiteraard ook welkom :-)
Praktisch
19:00 deur open, dansuitleg
19:30 – 20:30 Flos
20:45 – 22:15 Feather and Fox

Entree: €10,- normaal / €15,- fairtrade voor extra steun voor de muzikanten
Tickets zijn gewoon aan de deur te koop, reserveren is niet nodig.

Locatie: Brouwketel 1, 6851ZX Huissen

Parkeren: Je kan niet bij de boerderij zelf parkeren, dat kan wel in het dorp (bij de kerk, 15 minuten lopen) of langs de weg door de uiterwaarden (5 tot 10 minuten lopen).

Schoenen: rondom de boerderij is het behoorlijk modderig, trek daarom buitenschoenen aan die dat aankunnen. Binnen willen we graag dat je niet op buitenschoenen loopt. Dansschoenen, sokken, sloffen, blote voeten is allemaal prima, er ligt een fijne houten vloer.
Feather and Fox
Feather and Fox is a Belgo-German balfolk duo. Victor and Christiane met in a Berlin summer on the banks of the Spree. From the very beginning, the duo plays for dancers and is inspired by their energy. Playful and sensitive, they explore the sound possibilities in the interplay of the twelve strings of mandolin and cello, creating a unique sound at once feather-light and energy-driven.


 
Flos
Flos is geboren in de bergen en vervlecht de klanken van Yvette (gitaar), Kris (contrabas), Lennaert (cello) en Renske (saxofoon). Met eigen composities en bestaande melodieën laten zij hun voorliefde voor de balfolkmuziek samenstromen. Meander mee langs de rivier waar de koekoeksbloemen bloeien en de insecten al dansend de lente aankondigen."""

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.

The Atchisons 
Melissa and Bob Atchison have been playing for barn dances since the early 1980s. Their music has been influenced by old-time Missouri fiddlers, and music of the Ozarks. They love playing for dances because of the joy the dancers experience. As a duo of just guitar and fiddle they bring a surprising amount of energy and fun to Lawrence Barn dances. 
Jill Allen 
Soon after receiving a B.E. in Dance Performance at the University of Kansas, Jill Allen came upon her first local country dance in the early 1980’s, unaware of how deeply it would change her life. It was love at first step and she never looked back. Her tap dancing became clogging and soon she learned to call for dances, with a hunger to teach every style she learned. With experience in dance education, Jill was a natural boss on the dance floor. Jill also organized dances for many years, and played piano for dances with the band “Fox on the Run” for 15 years. 
Her calling has been described as fun, easy to follow, and musical, with no time wasted getting a group of all ages and abilities up and dancing to the music. She is full-service caller with over thirty years of experience, well versed in Contras, Squares, English Country, Family Dances, Clogging, and couple dances."""

Balfolk op Zondagmiddag in Enkhuizen van 2 tot 5 uur
Op het Balfolk van 10 maart kunnen we dit keer heerlijk dansen op de dynamische muziek van de groep ‘Madlot’. De naam Madlot komt van een Nederlandse dans die in de negentiende eeuw populair was. Nu kun je daar een cercle op dansen. Madlot is een dynamisch collectief van muzikanten rond Judica Lookman en Bert Lotz. Elkaar ontmoeten en inspireren vanuit verschillende muziektradities, is een nieuw thema geworden: van jong tot oud, en vanuit allerlei streken. En hoe dat klinkt wil Madlot deze middag laten horen.  Zij spelen folk uit Nederland en Frankrijk: scottisch, wals, polka, mazurka, rondeau, andro, hanterdro, enz. enz.
Judica Lookman - trekharmonica’s
Bert Lotz - doedelzakken, koeienhoorn, blokfluit, schalmei
Wouter Koenders - doedelzakken, fluit
Corentin Clot - banjo
Zie voor meer informatie www.madlot.nl

Daarnaast zal ook het vertrouwde Adhoc Orkest (huisband van het Enkhuizer Balfolk) spelen. Het AdHoc speelt vooral traditionele franse en vlaamse Balfolk muziek. Er zullen tijdens het bal enkele korte instructies geven voor o.a. de Maclotte, Gavotte de l’Aven en Suite de maraîchines.

Het bal is zoals altijd weer in de sfeervolle zaal van het hotel-restaurant Die Port van Cleve, waar ook een prachtige houten vloer ligt die heerlijk is om op te dansen.

Entree is 7,00 euro. Reserveren is niet nodig."""

Na een winterslaapje kan er eindelijk weer gedanst worden in de Junushoff. Dus trek je winterjas uit en kom genieten van fijne muziek die je meeneemt naar warmere oorden!
Les Bottines Artistiques is ontstaan in het najaar van 2014. Beiden actief op vele muzikale wegen, besloten Guus en Pavel om hun pad te laten kruisen en daaruit ontstond Les Bottines Artistiques. De combinatie Pavels levendige vioolspel met Bulgaarse roots in combinatie met Guus' feilloze Franse en Italiaanse accordeonspel zorgt voor een warme, kleurrijke en verrassende dynamiek.
Bamako Express, bestaande uit Florian De Schepper (gitaar), Anouk Sanczuk (viool), Joël Diarra (balafoon & calabash) & Jonathan Dembélé (bas & zang) is geen gewone band; het is een smeltkroes van werelden, een ontmoeting van culturen en een explosie van muzikale schittering. Dit kwartet, bestaande uit twee getalenteerde Belgische muzikanten en twee virtuoze artiesten uit Mali, heeft de handen in elkaar geslagen om iets buitengewoons te creëren: een fusie van folk en West-Afrikaanse magie! Ontdek de unieke bezetting van Bamako Express, waar de zoete klanken van de gitaar samensmelten met de diepe resonantie van de bas, de betoverende tonen van de viool en de magische melodieën van de balafoon. Elk instrument speelt een cruciale rol bij het vormgeven van het kenmerkende sonische palet van de band.
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!

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)."""

name = "Socialles 294 — Bourrée in 2 variaties (2)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 7 maart is het socialles nr 292. Docent deze week is Noelia. We gaan verder aan de slag met de bourrée de berry in 2 tijden en wat variaties daarin. Hoe zit het met stapjes, wat kun je aan variaties in deze dans en zijn er andere choreographieën mogelijk? Deze les is er ook volop ruimte voor improvisatie en input vanuit dansers zelf, dus heb je zelf ideeën of wil je wel eens wat uitproberen in deze dans? Dit is je kans! Deze les combineert mooi met de andere lessen over de bourree in deze maand, maar is uiteraard ook gewoon los te volgen.

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."""

Feather and Fox ist ein belgisch-deutsches Balfolk Duo. Victor und Christiane lernten sich in einem Berliner Sommer am Spreeufer kennen. Von Beginn an spielt das Duo für Tänzer:innen und lässt sich von deren Energie inspirieren. Verspielt und feinfühlig erkunden sie die Klangmöglichkeiten im Zusammenspiel der zwölf Saiten von Mandoline und Cello und kreieren damit einen einzigartigen Klang, zugleich federleicht und energiegetrieben.
Christiane Bisitz – Cello, Gesang

Group Dances are simple…But are they?
Enter the safe space focused on rediscovering the natural movement concepts and experiencieng the concepts of biomechanics, that will allow you to enjoy dancing together in a more dynamic, yet more connected way, and also to enjoy round and chain dances exponentially more than you did before. And maybe discover your new favourite dance in the process. Will you be team Landeda, Barbatre, Saint Vincent…or maybe Argenton?
Mikuláš Bryan has been sharing his love for dancing since 2003, with teaching experience ranging from small, focused workshops to classes for several hundreds people at festivals like Gennetines or Boombal. He studied folk dancing in Brittany, dancing and performing with Cercle Celtique de Rennes, but also took a deep dive into couple dancing at several blues camps. His other dancing background consists of tango, swing, salsa and balboa with occasional jazz and contemporary workshops. While approaching every dance with deep respect for its roots and traditions, he always aspires to expand its horizons and create a bridge between tradition and modernity.

Macht Kreis- und Kettentänze wieder lebendig!
Gruppentänze im BalFolk sind einfach…Wirklich?
Entdeckt die wahre Magie der Kreistänze und helft mit sie mit anderen zu teilen. 
Betretet den sicheren Raum, der sich darauf konzentriert, die natürlichen Bewegungskonzepte wiederzuentdecken und das Konzept der Biomechanik zu erfahren, die es uns erlauben werden, das gemeinsame Tanzen von Kreis- und Kettentänze auf eine dynamischere und verbundenere Weise zu genießen. Vielleicht entdeckt ihr dabei auch euern neuen Lieblingstanz. Wird das Rond de Landeda, Rond de Barbatre oder vielleicht Rond d’Argenton sein?
Mikuláš Bryan gibt seine Liebe zum Tanzen seit 2003 weiter. Seine Unterrichtserfahrung reicht von kleinen, gezielten Workshops bis hin zu Kursen für mehrere hundert Personen auf Festivals wie Gennetines oder Boombal. Er studierte Folktanz in der Bretagne, tanzte und trat mit dem Cercle Celtique de Rennes auf, tauchte aber auch bei mehreren Blues-Camps tief in den Paartanz ein. Sein weiterer tänzerischer Hintergrund besteht aus Tango, Swing, Salsa und Balboa mit gelegentlichen Jazz- und zeitgenössischen Workshops. Er nähert sich jedem Tanz mit tiefem Respekt für seine Wurzeln und Traditionen, ist aber immer bestrebt, seinen Horizont zu erweitern und eine Brücke zwischen Tradition und Moderne zu schlagen.

Bal in Deventer: Warme Franse Klanken 

We gaan 17 maart vast een voorproefje nemen op de zomer met een bal op een gezellige, warme locatie in de jachthaven van Deventer.

Balfolk Deventer is lekker dansen op live folkmuziek (alleen luisteren kan uiteraard ook)

Entree: €15,- (gereduceerd) €20,- of €25,- (fair trade) per persoon. (contant aan de deur of een tikkie)

Globaal tijdschema:
13.00 Zaal open
13:30 - 14.30 Dansuitleg
14.30 - 15:30 Momiro Duo (Kris en Wouter)
16.00 - 18.00 Duo l'hêtre heureux

Over de Dansuitleg

In deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen.
De dansuitleg door Isobel Priest zal in het Engels zijn, met Nederlandse ondersteuning waar nodig.

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!

We starten altijd met een dansuitleg. Iedereen kan mee doen.

Over Duo l'Hêtre Heureux:

Olivier Valence, gitaar en zang, Léo Proulx, klarinet, zang en percussie, brachten hun talent samen voor het open podium op het Grand Bal de l'Europe in Gennetines.

Le Duo l'Hêtre Heureux is een ontmoeting tussen twee muzikanten met passie voor Europese volksdansen.

Sinds 2019 droomt, creëert en test de band hun creaties met de dansers uit Frankrijk, Italië, Zwitserland, Spanje, België, Nederland en Duitsland.

Auteurs, componisten en performers, sinds 2022 geven zij ook workshops op festivals.

details = """
Deze donderdag 21 maart is het socialles nr 295. Docent deze week is Noelia, die een uitstapje en eerste kennismaking maakt naar dansen uit de regio Limousin: de bal limousin, ronde de chantecorps en mogelijk ook de marachine. Voorkennis van deze dansen is niet nodig, gewoon lekker meedoen!

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

 \tDUO PACHER-ROBLIN

Repertoires uit twee Franse regio's worden met talent en passie samengebracht door dit prachtige duo. Met Christian Pacher op viool, accordeons en zang, en Benoît Roblin op draailier en zang combineren ze hun rijke en mooie ervaring ten dienste van de dans.

 \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.

name = "Vrijdagavondbal in De Doelen Studio"
details = """
Op vrijdagavond 22 maart kan er gratis balfolk gedanst worden in Rotterdam, in de studio van De Doelen. 

De artiest die voor ons komt spelen is Florian de Schepper. Deze Belgische gitarist speelt al gitaar sinds zijn 9e, waarop hij al snel in het (bal)folkcircuit terechtkwam. Hij is bekend van balfolkgroepen als Duo De Schepper-Sanczuk, Broes, Loogaroo. Met al bijna twintig jaar internationale ervaring zorgt Florian ervoor met slechts een gitaar een gevarieerd bal te brengen. Zijn muziek wordt gekenmerkt door zijn ritmische spel, mooie harmonisaties en krachtige solo's; heel fijn om balfolk op te dansen! 

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. Reserveren is niet nodig, je kunt vrij naar wens binnen komen lopen en de dansvloer opstappen. 

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.

„Bal all’italiana“ mit KÖRDEBÖF und I PIZZICATI
in der Spreefolk-Reihe „Folk & Tanz am Lietzensee“
am Sa. 23.3.2024 – 19-22 Uhr
I Pizzicati – Foto: Xenia Krüger
* Was erwartet Euch?
Tanz der von der Tarantel Gebissenen: Mezzogiorno, tiefer italienischer Süden, versunkene Welt von Mythen und Märchen? Keineswegs. Dennoch verspricht der Abend irgendwie ‚magisch‘ und ‚zauberhaft‘ zu werden.
Die rhythmische, spirituelle und vor allem die soziale Energie von Tarantella, Pizzica und Tammurriata beflügelt seit Jahren im italienischen Süden jugendliche Massen. Dazu kommt in Italien ein großes Interesse an europäischem BalFolk – im Norden, aber zunehmend auch im Süden des Landes.
Es gibt also viel „Italianità“ zu entdecken: Beliebte Tänze Norditaliens sowie ein Eintauchen in die Tarantella-Welt des Südens. Und manche vertrauten und beliebten Balfolk-Tänze lassen sich an diesem Abend auch einmal in anderen, italienischen Musikfarben genießen.
Die Ensembles KÖRDEBÖF und I PIZZICATI sind sich durch ihre gemeinsamen Liebe zu Italien begegnet und haben inzwischen viele fröhliche Musizierstunden, Konzerte und Tanz-Sessions zusammen erlebt. In italienisch-deutscher Besetzung laden sie zu einem tänzerisch-musikalischen „giro d’Italia“ ein!
Duo Kördeböf – Foto: privat
* Das Programm
19:00 Uhr Workshop (Tänze aus Nord-, Mittel- und Süditalien)
20:30 Uhr Tanzabend! Altbekannte Tanzklassiker aus dem Bal-Folk-Repertoire, aber auch Herzerfrischendes aus dem Stiefel mit spontaner Tanzanleitung
* Die Mitwirkenden
Kördeböf, Pizzicati, Akkordeon, Gitarre, Geige, Mandoline, Organetto, Putipù, Schlüssel & Flasche, Tamburello, Triccheballacche, Scacciapensieri, Sisco, Kastagnetten, Ei und Pizzaschachtel
*Praktische Details
Adresse: Haus am Lietzensee, Hebartstr. 25, Berlin-Charlottenburg

Community Shindig: In the tradition of New England’s earliest settlers, The Groton Grange and Contra Banditos invite you to a New England Contra Dance to celebrate the traditions of the Grange Hall. No partner or experience necessary!
This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Live Music by: The Contra Banditos. The Banditos were formed in the late 1980s when original band member Dan Fassett and two of his students decided to practice their craft at a contra dance in the First Parish Church in Groton, MA. Those practice sessions evolved into the formation of the band. From a handful of fiddle members, we have grown into a band with typically eight members who play fiddle, banjo, guitar, piano, mandolin, whistle, bass and percussion.
Caller: Don Heinold. Hailing from Rhode Island, Don has been calling at dances, weddings, and parties all over New England for over 14 years. Don is also known for teaching the Rotary (country) Waltz.
Admission: $5 suggested donation per person. Contributions are greatly appreciated!
Parking: on-street. Please be careful.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Role Terms are: “Women & Men,” but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role that works for them. with no worries."""

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. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.

name = "Socialles 296 — Polska (1)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 28 maart is het socialles nr 296. Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. We gaan aan de slag met de polska zoals deze in balfolk gedanst wordt. Geen eenvoudige dans, en meters maken is het advies, maar de stapjes en techniek goed onder de knie krijgen is fijn. Dit is de eerste van twee lessen, volgende week de volgende. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen, maar ze beide doen is wel aan te raden vanwege de kracht van de herhaling.

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."""

Vrijdag 29 Maart wordt het Drakenbal omgetoverd tot een speciaal bal voor Lian Spaninks-Postelmans, genaamd BaLian

*** PROGRAMMA ***
* 19:30 - 20:00 - Inloop
* 20:00 - 22:00 - Mook
* 22:00 - 23:00 - Wouter Kuyper
* 23:00-1:00 Sessie onder leiding van David Cornelissen.


*** EMAIL ***
voor vragen omtrent dit bal (die hier beneden niet beantwoord worden) mail gerust naar ; drakenbaldenbosch@gmail.com



*** ENTREE ***
Entree is op DONATIEBASIS, doneer gul want alles gaat naar de muzikanten en wat er overblijft naar het goede doel van Lian, Stichting Chagpori ( https://sctg.nl )



*** STICHTING CHAGPORI ***
Stichting Chagpori is een stichting voor Tibetaanse geneeskunde, gebaseerd op het Tibetaans Boeddhisme. Het geld wordt onder meer gebruikt voor de bouw van apotheken en scholen voor de opleiding van studenten.



*** DANSUITLEG ***
Er zal op dit speciale bal geen dansuitleg zijn. Dit zodat er extra veel genoten kan worden van de live acts van de avond. Mocht je toch nog wat hulp nodig hebben. schroom niet om te vragen. Er zijn genoeg geoefende
balfolkers deze avond die je vast op weg willen helpen.



*** 20:00-22:00 MOOK ***
We zijn blij deze avond Mook te verwelkomen! Mook is een spetterend balfolktrio van trekzak, viool- en gitaarsnaren. Jan, André en Jochem vonden elkaar in 2023 op sessies van muziekfestivals en spelen nu samen de sterren van de hemel met originele dansmuziek, vaak zelf gecomponeerd en - gearrangeerd. Ze spelen een creatief samengesteld programma met dansen voor beginners, begonners of echte balfolkfreakies.
André ten Broeke: trekzak
Jan Sijben: dadgad-gitaar en mandoline
Jochem Beltman: viool



*** 22:00-23:00 WOUTER KUYPER ***
Wouter Kuyper speelt doedelzak, fluit en trekharmonica en laat zich inspireren door Vlaamse, Franse en Nederlandse (balfolk-)muziek. Als hij solo speelt doet hij dat met trekharmonica en dan speelt hij van bijzonder opzwepend tot bijzonder intiem en brengt hij voor een groot deel eigen composities. Speelt daarnaast in Lirio, Wouter en de Draak, BmB, Laroux, Androneda en nog meer! Ook geeft Wouter veel les op de trekharmonica en de doedelzak.



*** 23:00-1:00 JAMSESSIE ***
Na 23:00 mag je gratis naar binnen, want vanaf nu is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen. We dragen de folkmuziek een warm hart toe en het is onze wens dat de muziekscene in Den Bosch steeds groter en actiever wordt. Schroom dus niet om je instrument te pakken en mee te spelen. Net pas begonnen met muziek of levenslange ervaring? Iedereen is welkom! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!



*** VERSNAPERINGEN ***
In de bar kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Drakenspeciaalbiertje! Ook staan er gratis gezonde snacks en heerlijk vers (vruchten)water klaar.



*** LOCATIE ***

Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.

Musac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg.

Musac bestaat ruim 30 jaar en speelt op accordeon, doedelzak, draailier, nickelharpa en fluiten.

name = "Socialles 297 — Polska (2)"
details = """
Deze donderdag 4 april is het socialles nr 297. Docent deze week zijn Wim en Leora. We gaan verder met de polska zoals deze in balfolk gedanst wordt. Geen eenvoudige dans, en meters maken is het advies, maar de stapjes en techniek goed onder de knie krijgen is fijn. Dit is de tweede van de lessen, vorige week was de vorige met de baiss. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen, maar ze beide doen is wel aan te raden vanwege de kracht van de herhaling.

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."""

English country dancing runs the gamut from sublime to silly, from elegant to energetic, and the dance repertoire draws from over 350 years of material. Our series offers delectable live music and skilled callers from the Bay Area and beyond. You can come by yourself or with friends, since we change partners after each dance. If you’ve ever done contra or square dancing, much of our dance vocabulary will be familiar to you since both of those styles evolved from English country dancing. 
The dance is held the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, 2-4:30 pm, to live music, all levels of experience welcome; and occasional 5th Sundays for Advanced dancers. Admission is $15 for members of NBCDS and its affiliates, $8 for young adults ages 19-30, and $3 for youth ages 6-18. Call 707-829-3478 for more information or contact kalia@nbcds.org

details = """
Deze donderdag 11 april is het socialles nr 298. Deze week geeft Xander een beginners les Røros pols (onder begeleiding van levende muziek). Dat is een Noorse dans die veel gedanst en gespeeld wordt binnen het circuit van het Scandinavisch dansen. Energieker en met meer ruimte voor improvisatie dan de polska en de Røros pols kan gedanst worden op veel van de snellere \"balfolk polska's\" dus is het een mooie aanvulling op jouw dansen! Met live-muziek dus, en mogelijk spelen zij ook nog mee tijdens het vrijdansen....

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."""

Music by Cynthia Shaw, piano; Eric Martin, violin and viola; and Gene Murrow, concertina and recorders, will lift our spirits and enliven our steps. 
An afternoon practice from 2-4PM is followed by a dinner break, with the Ball itself running from 7-11PM. Registration is now open. Pack your festive finery, and please do join us for this premier event!

Zondag 14 april Drakenbal in Den Bosch


15:00-19:00 Akoestisch OPEN PODIUM
Iedereen is welkom om op te treden (ook andere muziekstijlen dan (bal)folk). Meer info op https://stationzuid.nu/events/akoestisch-open-podium-13/
Vrij samenspelen kan in de sessie na 21:30. We verwachten drukke bezetting van geweldige folkmuzikanten en -bands die (na 17:00) aansluiten na de muziekstage in Sint Michielsgestel.

17:30-19:30 DINER eet je mee?
Reserveer alvast een maaltijd via drakenbaldenbosch@gmail.com
Het café serveert:
Vegetarisch - Pasta vega met gegrilde groenten: €12,50
Vlees - Kipsaté met frites en salade: €15,00
(Vegan = mogelijk. Het café serveert eten: Het meebrengen van eigen eten is niet toegestaan, wel waterflesjes).
19:00-19:30 Luisteren naar AKLEJA
Boven in het cafe kun je na het open podium luisteren naar het prachtige duo Akleja uit Zuid-Duitsland. Akleja speelt instrumentale volksmuziek op nyckelharpa, gitaar en citer en verkent muzikaal wat hen na aan het hart ligt - de natuur, relaties en ontroerende momenten. Ze worden vooral beïnvloed door dansmuziekdeuntjes die in oude muziekboeken sluimeren en weer tot leven willen worden gewekt, en door de muzikale traditie van Zweden, het thuisland van de nyckelharpa. Ze gaan hun eigen weg met hun muziek en creëren een unieke klankwereld vol vreugde en sfeer. Met hun meeslepende spel en hun fijne arrangementen schilderen ze muzikale beelden en nemen ze hun publiek moeiteloos mee uit het leven van alledag. Donaties zijn welkom!

19:30-20:00 BAL met CIONA (kelder)
Ciona is doedelzakmuziek voor fijnproevers. Wouter Koenders en Anouk van Leeuwen spelen op twee doedelzakken meerstemmige dansmuziek. Ze spelen een combinatie van zelfgeschreven en traditionele melodieën, met vaak eigen arrangement met prachtige harmonieën.
20:00-21:30  LIVE BAND   Duo Gilles Chabenat & Daniela Heiderich
Gilles Chabenat is zonder twijfel een van de meest gerenommeerde draailierspelers. Hij maakt deel uit van de muzikanten die een belangrijke rol spelen in de nieuwe en verdere ontwikkeling van dit instrument in de hedendaagse muziek. Als componist zijn veel van zijn stukken standaardmateriaal geworden in de Franse balfolk scene.

Met de haakharp, de Franse doedelzak en haar stem creëert Daniela Heiderich veelzijdige klankwerelden. Daniela studeerde haar instrumenten in traditionele muziek aan het Centre d’Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/Frankrijk. Ze hield zich intensief bezig met de geschiedenis en het spel van de rondtrekkende harpspelers die de afgelopen eeuwen door Europa en de wereldbol reisden. In de regio Limousin specialiseerde ze zich in het bespelen van verschillende soorten doedelzakken die daar en in aangrenzende regio’s voorkomen, zoals de Cabrette, de Chabrette of de Cornemuse du Centre.

21:30-... SESSIE in café met David Cornelissen.
Voorafgaand aan het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van de zeer ervaren David Cornelissen. De dansers kunnen dan nog lekker door blijven dansen.  Schroom dus niet om je instrument te pakken en mee te spelen, iedereen is welkom! Ook als je niet bij het dansen bent geweest, ben je welkom voor de sessie! Van tevoren zal David een aantal stukken voorbereiden die sowieso gespeeld worden en elk bal zal hij hier een deun aan toevoegen zodat we een steeds groter repertoire hebben. Verder is het een verrassing wat er zal ontstaan!

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)."""

We eindigen het seizoen met Duo Chabenat / Heiderich met hakenharp, draailier en zang. Met een losse les vooraf van Sophie van Grinsven genaamd Posture and Partnering.

Workshop Beschrijving
Balfolk dansen doe je niet alleen, maar samen! In een koppel, in een kleine groep of met een grote groep dansers. Je danspartner is een van de sleutelelementen in balfolk, vandaar dat het ook belangrijk is om te weten wat allemaal invloed heeft op je connectie met je danspartner. Zo kan je eigen lichaamsspanning invloed hebben op het leiden of geleid worden. De manier waarop je je voeten gebruikt, de verbinding met de vloer, heeft invloed op je balans en daarmee ook op je danspartner.

In deze workshop gaan we op onderzoek uit en leren we op welke manier we leiden en volgen. We gaan aan de slag met welke elementen je kunt inzetten om betere connectie te maken met je danspartner en wat er voor nodig is om te volgen. Termen als houding, frame, vormspanning en basisspanning zul je veel horen deze avond! We werken vanuit verschillende achtergronden (balfolk, balroom/latin en hedendaagse dans), om zo kennis te maken met een breed scala aan tools die onze partnering verbeteren.

Band Beschrijving

Gilles Chabenat is zonder twijfel een van de meest gerenommeerde draailierspelers. Hij maakt deel uit van de muzikanten die een belangrijke rol spelen in de nieuwe en verdere ontwikkeling van dit instrument in de hedendaagse muziek. Als componist zijn veel van zijn stukken standaardmateriaal geworden in de Franse balfolk scene.

Met de haakharp, de Franse doedelzak en haar stem creëert Daniela Heiderich veelzijdige klankwerelden. Daniela studeerde haar instrumenten in traditionele muziek aan het Centre d'Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/Frankrijk. Ze hield zich intensief bezig met de geschiedenis en het spel van de rondtrekkende harpspelers die de afgelopen eeuwen door Europa en de wereldbol reisden. In de regio Limousin specialiseerde ze zich in het bespelen van verschillende soorten doedelzakken die daar en in aangrenzende regio's voorkomen, zoals de Cabrette, de Chabrette of de Cornemuse du Centre.

Reserveren en Prijzen
Voor de seizoensafsluiting hoef je niet te reserveren. Let op! Je betaalt contant aan de kassa bij de deur. Mocht je geen contant bij je hebben, dan kun je bij de Albert Heijn aan de Voorstraat pinnen. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen. Losse les kost €5, de losse les is gratis voor de deelnemers van The Winter Classes. Prijzen voor het bal:

 \t€13,- (Normaaltarief),
 \t€15,- (Fair-Trade),
 \t€10,- (Kortingstarief).

Fair Trade
Vind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? En, wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade :)
Overig
We hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken liggen. De bar van de Moira is gesloten. Voel je vrij om je eigen drank mee te nemen. We vragen je om na het einde, de Moira stilletjes te verlaten en geen geluid te maken voor het gebouw.
Richtlijnen
Wij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.
Locatie
Het vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal. Er is geen lift.



** English **



We end the season with Duo Chabenat / Heiderich with hook harp, hurdy-gurdy and singing. This will be preceded by a single lesson by Sophie van Grinsven called Posture and Partnering, see dutch version for the description.

Gilles Chabenat is without a doubt one of the most renowned hurdy-gurdy players. He is one of the musicians who play an important role in the new and further development of this instrument in contemporary music. As a composer, many of his pieces have become standard material in the French balfolk scene.

With the hook harp, french bagpipe and her voice, Daniela Heiderich creates multifaceted sound worlds. Daniela studied her instruments in traditional music at the Center d'Etudes Supérieures Musique et Danse (CESMD) in Poitiers/France. She dealt intensively with the history and playing of the itinerant harp players who have traveled through Europe and across the globe over the past centuries. In the Limousin region she specialized in playing various types of bagpipes native there and in neighboring regions, such as the Cabrette, the Chabrette or the Cornemuse du Centre.

Reservation and Prices
You do not need to make a reservation. You choose at the door which rate you want to pay. NB! You pay cash at the door. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. There is no pin option at our cash register. Single lesson costs €5, but it is free for the participants of The Winter Classes. Prices for the ball:

 \t€13,- (normal rate),
 \t€15,- (Fair Trade),
 \t€10,- (discount rate).

Fair Trade
Do you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly? And, do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Pay Fair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians earn more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to our events with galettes. Therefore Fair Trade :)
Remainder
We have a cloakroom where you can leave your belongings. Do not leave your belongings on the couches. The bar of Moira is closed. Feel free to bring your own drinks. We ask you to leave the Moira quietly after the end and not to make any noise in front of the building.
Guidelines
We want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.
Location
It takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall. There is no elevator."""

details = """
Deze donderdag 18 april is het socialles nr 299. Docent deze week zijn Johan en Anika. We gaan aan de slag met de congo de captieux en de repassaeado. Het zijn weinig voorkomende balfolkdansen, maar ze zijn wel ontzettend leuk om samen te dansen en mede daarom brengen we ze graag onder de aandacht. Voorkennis van deze dansen is niet nodig, gewoon lekker meedoen!

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

 \tLa Réveilleuse

La Réveilleuse (‘de ontwaker’) is een energiek en lumineus duo bestaande uit: Camille Lachenal (zang, clarinet) en Simon McDonell (gitaar). Zij verzorgen een bal vol levensverhalen, vrouwen en eeuwenoude bomen. De zelfgeschreven teksten van Camille, door Simon verwerkt in folkarrangementen, nodigen uit om een repertoire van originele liedjes te ontdekken, geïnspireerd door traditionele dansmuziek. Betreed de kring van vrouwen, ontmoet La Réveilleuse bij het draaien in een wals, dans een mazurka onder een kastanjeboom en verlies jezelf in het bos met een avant-deux!

 \tTrio Baftig

Wat begon als een muzikaal experiment in de zomer van ‘22 is nu officieel tot een folkmuzikantenopstelling uitgegroeid. Trio Baftig speelt zeer dansbare tunes op akkoestische gitaar (DADGAD), accordeon en viool. Manon, Robin en Sebastiaan delen een passie voor folkdans en folkmuziek en besloten van hieruit hun krachten te bundelen. Het duo/trio speelt verassende mix tussen Ierse en Scandinavische tunes, maar ook eigen explosieve composities. Van melancholisch tot krachtig, voor alles geldt: zolang het maar Baftig is!

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.

ON 19th of April we plan to have Mazurka Clandestina around the city of Sofia\r
\r
✦ES-BAL✦TRAD✦ embraces the challenge of uniting Bulgarian folk music with the richness of balfolk culture, creating an exhilarating atmosphere of friendship, smiles, music, and dance. Balfolkaria, supported by the Cervantes Cultural Institute in Sofia, invites you to immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience, divided into two parts - dance workshops and a ball.\r
PART 1: DANCE WORKSHOPS with Dimo Slavchev from Divlya\r
🕚 11:00 Coffee and introduction\r
🕦 11:30 Introduction to uneven Bulgarian rhythms\r
🕛 12:00 Bulgarian folk dances - kopanitsa, shirto, ginka, paidushko horo, and many others.\r
🍽 14:00 Lunch\r
🕓 16:00 Afternoon coffee and warm-up\r
🕟 16:15 Balfolk dances with Juanfe Carrasco - mazurka, scottish-foho, and others.\r
🍽 18:00 Dinner\r
PART 2: DANCE BALL with Bal do Mero and Div Plet\r
🕗 20:00 Doors open\r
🕣 20:30 Bal do Mero, Spain\r
🕙 22:00 Div Plet, Bulgaria\r
🕚 23:00 Jam Session\r
*The program may undergo minor changes; we will keep you informed!!!\r
\r
Dimo Slavchev has been the leader of the Divlya folk dance club since 2006; he is also the choreographer of the representative group of Bulgarian folk dances \"Divlya\" at the Science and Nature Cultural Center since 2010.\r
Juanfe Carrasco, passionate about guitar, singing, and rhythms since adolescence, explored dance styles such as flamenco and contemporary dance. Until he discovered balfolk and the tremendous possibilities this dance family offers, both for delving into European musical traditions and hybridizing them with other dance styles. He has attended balfolk concerts, workshops, and festivals since 2010 and has been conducting national and international workshops for over ten years.\r
\"Div Plet\" includes Lou Carrig on accordion, Isabel Sokol-Oxman on gadulka and violin, Damian Diaz Merlis on guitar, and Stiu Ivanov on percussion and kaval. The members come from different parts of the world, including Ireland, the USA, Argentina, and Bulgaria, but they all share a passion for traditional Bulgarian music.\r
\"Bal do Mero\" is a trio of violin, clarinet, and accordion born from the restlessness and love of three musicians for folk music and dance. Sara Caballero, Rodrigo Nosequé, and Silvia von Nadie decide to shape this underwater folk fable for which they compose songs with various rhythms, always inspired by the weightlessness of the seabed. A diverse repertoire of waltzes, mazurkas, pasodobles, jotas, and muñeiras.\r
Get ready to dance and enjoy! 🎻💃🕺\r

Dansen is altijd een feestje.
Dansen met live muziek is dubbel feest.
En Zweeds dansen met live muziek is wat ons betreft een nog groter feest.

Op deze zondagmiddag kun je lekker zwieren en zweven op de dansvloer met dansen zoals hambo, schottis, diverse polskor en wals.

Na een drie heerlijke middagen met muziek van Duo Noordwest in oktober en Sparv in december en een bruisende middag in februari met meer dan 10 muzikanten, is het deze keer de beurt aan de Hunebend.

De Hunebend bestaat uit Michele van Baaren en Marieke van der Hoek op viool en Joke Bakker op cello. Zij spelen prachtige Zweedse dansmuziek, traditioneel én eigen creaties, die je later thuis ook kunt beluisteren op hun CD Bortlängtan.

In het eerste deel van deze middag (ca. 3 kwartier) zullen er een aantal basispassen van verschillende Zweedse dansen worden uitgelegd. Na iedere uitleg kan deze dans dan door iedereen gedanst of verder geoefend worden.
NB. het is géén apart workshop-blok. We verweven de uitleg in het bal, zodat iedereen vanaf het begin mee kan doen.

Heb je vragen: mail of bel ons: info@elskehoen.nl of 06-57251909

We stellen het op prijs als je je vooraf aanmeldt.

details = """
English country dancing runs the gamut from sublime to silly, from elegant to energetic, and the dance repertoire draws from over 350 years of material. Our series offers delectable live music and skilled callers from the Bay Area and beyond. You can come by yourself or with friends, since we change partners after each dance. If you’ve ever done contra or square dancing, much of our dance vocabulary will be familiar to you since both of those styles evolved from English country dancing. 
The dance is held the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, 2-4:30 pm, to live music, all levels of experience welcome; and occasional 5th Sundays for Advanced dancers. Admission is $15 for members of NBCDS and its affiliates, $8 for young adults ages 19-30, and $3 for youth ages 6-18. Call 707-829-3478 for more information or contact kalia@nbcds.org 
Note: We sometimes need to make a venue or time change to accommodate special events. Please check the NBCDS calendar to confirm."""

Balfolk A1: Balfolk basics\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. 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
\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."""

Deze donderdag 25 april is het socialles nr 300. Docent deze week is Stefan. Nog meer Poitou-dansen, want er zijn genoeg verschillende dansen in deze regio in Frankrijk! Wat te denken van de avant-deux of de marachine? Het zijn fijn energieke dansen waar wel enige conditie voor nodig kan zijn in sommige gevallen.... Geen zorgen, we doen het rustig aan!

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."""
