name = "Socialles 342 — Fijner samen dansen"
details = """
Deze donderdag 19 juni  is het socialles nr 342.

Fijner samen dansen.

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

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.

Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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."""

DansuitlegIn deze dansuitleg komen de basisprincipes van balfolk aan bod zodat iedereen mee kan doen. In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.
Wouter en de draakEen nieuw duo van Wouter Kuyper en Joris Alblas. Balfolk, met een grotere rol voor de gitaar, een tintje Iers en een voorliefde voor Bretons. Luister naar ze op soundcloud: https://www.facebook.com/.../a.14933.../1493372584242823/...
Website: https://www.facebook.com/WouterendeDraak

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

What is Contra Dance?
In a Contra dance, a leader, known as a caller, teaches basic dance steps during an introductory “walk-through” of the dance. Dancers learn by walking through the steps and formations, following the caller’s instructions. The dance figures are similar to those of old-time square dancing except the figures are usually danced in a line, with leaders and followers facing each other. 
​These dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall).  Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. 
How does Contra Dance Work?
“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”
by Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller"""

Deze donderdag 26 juni  is het socialles nr 343.

Bouwdoos

Heb je wel eens dat je folkmuziek hoort, en denkt: "Oh! Daar wil ik wel op dansen!" en je probeert een scottish en dan blijkt het nummer niet in 8 tellen maar in 10 tellen te zijn?
We gaan proberen, door 1 of 2 zeer bekende dansen te ontleden in blokjes, een verzameling van danselementen te maken die we dan kunnen samenstellen in een geheel nieuwe dans die past bij de muziek, zowel qua telling maar ook qua sfeer.
Henri danst (fanatiek) balfolk sinds 2012 en heeft in 2016 en 2017 al een aantal avonden voor beginners en begonners begeleid bij Balfolk Zuid-Holland. Deze keer heeft hij de stoute dansschoenen aangetrokken en gaat proberen een meer gevorderd concept te behandelen. Hij zal worden geassisteerd door Eline Boon.

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.

Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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.'''

Louise Siddons was born in the UK but moved to the United States as a child, where she grew up  surrounded by folk music and song. Now back in the UK permanently, she is known on both sides of  the Atlantic as a contra, English country dance, and ceilidh caller. Louise believes that we  should invest in the evolution and sustainability of folk traditions and their ongoing relevance  to contemporary culture. As a caller and dance teacher, she strives to create a fun and welcoming  atmosphere with her low-key and light-hearted stage presence. She received the 2016 Mary  Judson/Brad Foster Award for English Dance Teachers from the Country Dance and Song Society  (CDSS), and has been a committee member for the Friends of English Dance (UK) since 2018. In 2021,  she received a diversity grant from the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) in support of  her gender-free teaching and calling. In 2022, CDSS published her booklet on gender-free,  positional calling, “Dancing the Whole Dance: Positional Calling for Contra.” This winter, she is  starting Winchester's first-ever queer ceilidh series, WinQeilidh."""

The evening will start with a potluck meal at 6:00 pm. Bring your own plates and eating utensils and a dish to share.  Water and cups will be provided. The dance workshop will start once everyone has finished eating. 
The remainder of the evening will focus on making you a more confident contra dancer through direct teaching and dancing practice. Both basic skills and more advanced figures will be covered. You will become more comfortable with foundational skills such as the swing, courtesy turn, and petronella, as well as practice less familiar figures such as mad robin, contra corners and box circulate. Twirls and flourishes and the contra waltz will also be discussed. Short dances to recorded music will allow you to practice the highlighted skill as it is taught. Larks and robins will be used as the role terms for the dancers.   
Both new and experienced dancers are encouraged to attend. Every effort will be made to send you home from the evening feeling more confident in your ability to navigate the dance floor."""

What is Contra Dance?
In a Contra dance, a leader, known as a caller, teaches basic dance steps during an introductory “walk-through” of the dance. Dancers learn by walking through the steps and formations, following the caller’s instructions. The dance figures are similar to those of old-time square dancing except the figures are usually danced in a line, with leaders and followers facing each other. 
​These dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall).  Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. 
How does Contra Dance Work?
“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”
by Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller"""

Deze donderdag 3 juli  is het socialles nr 344. Het onderwerp van de workshop is Bretonse dansen. Dit keer gaan we bezig met de Tour en de Rond de Loudéac. Deze workshop wordt gegeven door Leon.

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.

Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 10 juli  is het socialles nr 345. Dit is een grabbelles: kies jij maar!

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. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.

Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

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 = """
We sluiten het seizoen in Rotterdam af met de seizoenssluiting, mét een workshop in de middag, bal met duo Celtic Constellation en speciaal voor de muzikanten onder ons: een open podium én sessie voor muzikanten.

Programma
14.00 - 17.00: Workshop
17.00 - 18.00: Picknick
18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg
19.00 - 19.45: Open podium: 15 minutes of fame
19.45 - 21.15: Live band: Celtic Constellation
21.15 - 22.00: Open podium: 15 minutes of fame
22.00 - 23.00: Sessie

Band
Celtic Constellation brengt traditionele Keltische en Scandinavische folk in moderne arrangementen. Judith Be is een ervaren balfolkmuzikant en brengt lyrische vioolpartijen. Haar melodieuze spel wordt ritmisch en harmonisch aangevuld door violiste Astrid van der Niet. Boet Hoitinks Ierse bouzouki, gitaar en accordeon vullen deze melodieën mooi aan. Speciaal voor deze seizoenssluiting spelen Astrid en Boet samen in een duoformatie. Duo Celtic Constellation speelt flitsende reels, dansbare polska’s en meeslepende walsen. Probeer daar maar eens bij stil te blijven zitten!

Workshop
Voorafgaand aan het bal is er een workshop van 14.00 tot 17.00 uur, door Balfolk Sync (Bo Caubo en Paul de Man). Deze workshop draait om controle in koppeldansen. 

Ieder persoon op de dansvloer is verantwoordelijk voor zijn eigen lichaam en plaatsing. Deze verantwoordelijkheid valt of staat met de manier waarop je lichaam en frame samenwerken. Tijdens deze workshop gaan Bo en Paul in op spiercontrole, balans en momentum. Met ondersteunende oefeningen werken zij samen met de dansers toe naar een gecontroleerde polka - eentje waar je niet uitgeput uit komt. 

Deze workshop is geschikt voor mensen die de danshouding al kennen uit eerdere koppeldansen en die hun frame naar een nieuw niveau willen tillen. Voor beginners is deze workshop minder geschikt. Twijfel je over je niveau, neem dan contact op met ons via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com

Let op: voor deze workshop moet ingeschreven worden, omdat er een minimum én maximum aantal deelnemers mogelijk is. Inschrijven kan door een mailtje te sturen naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com met je naam en je danservaring.

15 minutes of fame
Deze editie 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 kan door een mailtje te sturen naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com met 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.

Toegangsprijs
Toegang tot de seizoenssluiting zonder workshop is 10 euro. Toegang tot de workshop ervoor is 15 Euro. Beide samen is 25 Euro. Dat is alleen cash te betalen, aan de deur, of met een QR-code."""

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.

They are fiddle playing behemoth Benjamin Rowe (also found rampaging in Contrasaurus); and bellows, keys and synths monster Vic Smith (known also in Double Dichotomy and Ceilidh Experiment). Using both traditional instruments and sounds, with live hardware synthesisers, Bearded Dragons weave a musical experience that is entirely unique.

NIEUW IN BALFOLK?
Balfolk is een social dance. Vergelijkbaar met Salsa, Tango of Lindyhop, maar dan op West-Europese volksmuziek. Bij balfolk geen shows of competitie, gewoon lekker dansen zoals ze dat vroeger op dorpsfeesten en bruiloften deden. Met familie en vrienden. Van jong tot oud. Iedereen danst mee. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig. Je kunt iedereen ten dans vragen. Én je kunt door iedereen ten dans worden gevraagd. Of je stapt zelf in bij een van de groepsdansen.

In Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.

We willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.

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.

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.

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.

NIEUW IN BALFOLK?
Balfolk is een social dance. Vergelijkbaar met Salsa, Tango of Lindyhop, maar dan op West-Europese volksmuziek. Bij balfolk geen shows of competitie, gewoon lekker dansen zoals ze dat vroeger op dorpsfeesten en bruiloften deden. Met familie en vrienden. Van jong tot oud. Iedereen danst mee. Je hebt geen vaste partner nodig. Je kunt iedereen ten dans vragen. Én je kunt door iedereen ten dans worden gevraagd. Of je stapt zelf in bij een van de groepsdansen.

In Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.

We willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.

After the first succesful Sofia balFOLK WEEKEND in the spring of 2025, we’re looking into organizing Sofia's second Folk Weekend - an extended weekend which focuses on traditional Bulgarian music and Balfolk.\r
We'd like to connect local musicians with musicians abroad, who love Bulgarian music, and offer you the opportunity to learn directly from the source. And of course, have lots of fun playing, singing and dancing together in Bulgaria's vibrant capital city!\r
We've chosen those dates since 1st of May is a non-working day in most of Europe, so hopefully it's possible to bridge it with the weekend.\r
We would like to get your feedback, opinions, ideas and suggestions - we've prepared this survey and would be grateful if you'd fill it out.\r
Thank you!\r
Yours, in music and dance,\r
