details: "Every Saturday\nLARGE STUDIO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7:30 – 8:00 pm Lesson\n8:00 – 11:00 pm Dance\n \nCost:\nLive Music: $15 General Admission | $12 Tapestry Member | $8 Young Adult (Ages 18-30) | $4 Youth (Ages 10-17) | Under 10 – Free \n“Pay What You Choose” first seven days of every month (1st through the 7th)\nRecorded Music: $12 General | $10 Members | $7 Young Adult & Youth (Ages 10 -21) \nWhat is Contra Dance?\nIn 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. \nThese dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall). Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. \nHow does Contra Dance Work?\n“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”\nby Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller"

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

Hun inclusieve en betekenisvolle muziek nodigt daarmee uit tot reflectie, maar ook tot gezamenlijke viering. Met de unieke energie van twee muzikanten uit genderminderheden brengen ze een frisse kijk op de traditionele balfolkscene, waarbij ze invloeden uit de Franse traditionele balfolk en moderne muziek – zoals techno – combineren met een vleugje vocale improvisatie. Ze bieden ook fusiondansworkshops aan voor balfolk, waarbij ze expressie, creativiteit uit verschillende koppeldansen en rolfluïditeit verkennen.\n\nAlvast een voorproefje? Luister hun muziek op hun website en YouTube.\nPraktische informatie\nTickets\nKoop je ticket hier om zeker te zijn van een plek.\nPrijs: €12,50\nKun je geen kaartje krijgen of heb je vragen? Mail naar lessen@balfolkexpress.nl.\n\nTijden\nDeuren open - 20:15\nStart band - 20:30\nEinde/sluiten zaal - 22:45\n\nAdres\nCafé Tropical\nVerlengde Hooggravenseweg 203, Utrecht\n\nBereikbaarheid\nEr zijn een aantal parkeerplekken vrij op het terrein voor auto’s. Is het vol, dan kan je buiten het terrein ook parkeren. De locatie is goed bereikbaar met het ov of met de fiets.\nOver Balfolk Express\nBalfolk Express organiseert danslessen, workshops en bals in Utrecht. Met onze lessen willen we jou een toolbox geven die je op de dansvloer kunt gebruiken. Zodat je dans meer diepgang krijgt, je kunt blijven doorgroeien en steeds meer plezier beleeft aan het dansen. In september, na het eindbal en de zomerstop, gaat ons nieuwe seizoen van start voor zowel beginners als (half)gevorderden. Meer informatie op onze website!"

- name: Socialles 343 — Bouwdoos
details: "Deze donderdag 26 juni is het socialles nr 343.\n\nBouwdoos\n\nHeb 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?\nWe gaan proberen, door 1 of 2 zeer bekende dansen te ontleden in blokjes, een verzameling van danselementen te maken die we dan kunnen samenstellen in een geheel nieuwe dans die past bij de muziek, zowel qua telling maar ook qua sfeer.\nHenri danst (fanatiek) balfolk sinds 2012 en heeft in 2016 en 2017 al een aantal avonden voor beginners en begonners begeleid bij Balfolk Zuid-Holland. Deze keer heeft hij de stoute dansschoenen aangetrokken en gaat proberen een meer gevorderd concept te behandelen. Hij zal worden geassisteerd door Eline Boon.\n\nProgramma\n18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten\n19.30: Start socialles\n20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen\n21.30: Einde\n\nSocialles\nHet concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.\n\nGezamenlijk eten\nVooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.\n\nLocatie\nJe kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Als de deur gesloten is, bel dan gewoon aan.\n\nParkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is ook betaald, wel iets goedkoper maar je moet dan meestal een flink stuk lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nPrijs\nDe sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk."

Music by Lake Effect, Matthew Sloboda, Chuck Abell, Cat Sloboda, Quicksilver, Catherine McCallen Sloboda, Alex Fortier and special guest Eileen Kalfass – with our evening dance being a MEGA band composed of everyone! What fun that will be!

details: "Join us for our contra dance with Box of Frogs with calling from Louise Siddons.\r\n\r\nTwo of the most exciting players on the Contra dance scene. With creative, colourful accordion player Ali Messer (Blue Mountain, Alterations, Fat Harry, Fiddle Chicks) and high energy fiddling from Linda Game (ECDB, Token Women) expect an evening of fabulous dance music. Box the gnat and swat the flea, but can you spot the frog?\r\n\r\nLouise Siddons was born in the UK but moved to the United States as a child, where she grew up surrounded by folk music and song. Now back in the UK permanently, she is known on both sides of the Atlantic as a contra, English country dance, and ceilidh caller. Louise believes that we should invest in the evolution and sustainability of folk traditions and their ongoing relevance to contemporary culture. As a caller and dance teacher, she strives to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere with her low-key and light-hearted stage presence. She received the 2016 Mary Judson/Brad Foster Award for English Dance Teachers from the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS), and has been a committee member for the Friends of English Dance (UK) since 2018. In 2021, she received a diversity grant from the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) in support of her gender-free teaching and calling. In 2022, CDSS published her booklet on gender-free, positional calling, “Dancing the Whole Dance: Positional Calling for Contra.” This winter, she is starting Winchester's first-ever queer ceilidh series, WinQeilidh."

details: "The June 28th dance will offer two special features – a time of community fellowship around a potluck meal and a dance workshop to build your skills as a dancer with Columbia callers Dianne Palmer-Quay and Victor Gascon. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nBoth 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."

details: "Every Saturday\nLARGE STUDIO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7:30 – 8:00 pm Lesson\n8:00 – 11:00 pm Dance\n \nCost:\nLive Music: $15 General Admission | $12 Tapestry Member | $8 Young Adult (Ages 18-30) | $4 Youth (Ages 10-17) | Under 10 – Free \n“Pay What You Choose” first seven days of every month (1st through the 7th)\nRecorded Music: $12 General | $10 Members | $7 Young Adult & Youth (Ages 10 -21) \nWhat is Contra Dance?\nIn 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. \nThese dances are lively, social, easy to learn, and aerobic. Although you will dance with a partner, it isn’t necessary to come with one. All dances are taught and are usually done in “long-ways sets” (partners facing in long lines down the hall). Many of the regular Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra bands play old-time music (similar to bluegrass), but the music at any given Saturday night Contra may reflect a range of music traditions, such as New England, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton and modern compositions. \nHow does Contra Dance Work?\n“A contra dance can be thought of as a triangle of energy with the three vertices being the musicians, the dancers and the caller. Magical evenings occur when all three come together, feeding off of each others’ energy to raise and sustain an atmosphere of fun and joy. The caller’s role in this is paramount. Good music and dancers without a good caller may not be magical. Poor teaching, lack of rapport or inappropriately selected dances can lead to frustration. But a good caller can make even new dancers feel like they are good, and by working with the musicians to match music to dances, set the right tempo, and feed off the energy of everyone in the hall, the caller can help make magic.”\nby Beau Farmer, Tapestry Folkdance Center Contra Caller"

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

- name: Season Closing with Open Stage
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.\n\nProgramma\n14.00 - 17.00: Workshop\n17.00 - 18.00: Picknick\n18.00 - 19.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00 - 19.45: Open podium: 15 minutes of fame\n19.45 - 21.15: Live band: Celtic Constellation\n21.15 - 22.00: Open podium: 15 minutes of fame\n22.00 - 23.00: Sessie\n\nBand\nCeltic 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!\n\nWorkshop\nVoorafgaand 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. \n\nIeder 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. \n\nDeze 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\n\nLet 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.\n\n15 minutes of fame\nDeze 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.\n\nDus, 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\ngemaakt. 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.\n\nSessie\nLiever 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.\n\nToegangsprijs\nToegang 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."

details: "Kom gezellig dansen op live muziek door de Limburgse folkband Musac.\nMusac organiseert maandelijks (meestal op de eerste woensdag van de maand) een eigen dansavond in Zuid-Limburg. \nMusac 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.\nDe 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.\nDe kosten zijn € 5,= per avond, ter plaatse in de pauze te voldoen.\n't Volkshoes heeft een zaal met goede houten vloer en koelkast met drankjes (muntautomaat in de gang).\nSchuin ertegenover ligt een ruime gratis parkeerplaats.\nVoorafgaand 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. \nJe mag ook gewoon komen luisteren en van de muziek genieten."

details: "Emily and the Simons Ausdrucksstark und improvisatorisch, voller Leidenschaft, Zärtlichkeit und Verspieltheit. Das anglo-belgisches Balfolk-Trio spielt mit Konzertgitarre, Akkordeon und Geige nicht nur in einer für Bal Folk einmaligen Besetzung. Es ist vielmehr so, als hätten die Instrumente ein Eigenleben: Die verschiedenen Stimmen und Klangfarben umwerben und nähern sich vorsichtig, immer darauf achtend sich zu unterstützen und Raum zu geben. Und manchmal treffen sie sich zu einer großen Party. Ihr Stil ist ausdrucksstark und improvisatorisch, voller Leidenschaft, Zartheit und Verspieltheit. Oft geben Emilys Kompositionen die Themen vor, inspiriert von Begegnungen des Lebens und der Energie des Tanzbodens. Daraus ergibt sich ein weitreichendes Repertoire – von exquisiten, sinnlichen Mazurkas bis hin zu fröhlichen, treibenden Bourrées. Emily Bowden: Geige Simon Dumpleton: chromatisches Akkordeon Simon Laffineur: Konzertgitarre Zum Nachhören: https://emilyandthesimons.bandcamp.com/album/firelight Webseite: http://emilyandthesimons.com"

details: "Join us for our contra dance with Bearded Dragons with calling from Sarah Trop.\n\nFrom fire and darkness rise the mighty Bearded Dragons. Blending traditional and electronic styles, they are pioneers of Techno Contra, Techno Playford, and Electro Folk in general, at the very cutting edge of folk dance music. 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.\n\nSarah Trop is a lifelong contra dancer and energetic caller based in San Francisco. She is a strong proponent of a safe and inclusive dance floor, and her steady calling will guide everyone through her varied programs with ease."

- name: Festibal — een balfolk happening
details: "WAT KUN JE VERWACHTEN\nDe sfeer van een meerdaags festival, maar dan in één dag. Dat is festibal. Het is een echte balfolk happening. CanDance Studios heeft een prachtige Grand Ballroom voor 400 dansers en een fijne houten dansvloer, een bar en aparte workshopruimtes.\n\nKom dansen en geniet van heerlijke muziek, toffe workshops en leuke extra’s.\n\n★ Geen vaste danspartner nodig\n★ Je hoeft geen danservaring of speciale kleding te hebben om mee te doen\n★ Makkelijk te bereiken en fijne danslocatie\n★ Live muziek van de beste Balfolk muzikanten\n★ Een muzikale reis met rustige, soms romantische muziek afgewisseld met energieke nummers\n★ Overwegend de acht eenvoudig te leren basisdansen: Jig (mixer), Scottish (partnerdans), Mazurka (partnerdans), Tovercirkel (mixer), Andro (groepsdans), Hanterdro (groepsdans), Wals (partnerdans) en Bourrée (rij van paren)\nDATUM\nZondag 5 oktober 2025\nTICKETS\nInfo volgt\nPROGRAMMA\nInfo volgt\n\n(Geluidstechniek door ....)\nWORKSHOPS\n★ Beginners workshop \n\nInfo volgt\n\n★ Betaalde workshop\n\nInfo volgt\nLOCATIE\nCanDance Studios: Isolatorweg 28, 1014 AS Amsterdam\n\nJe parkeert gratis in de straten rondom de locatie. Het is makkelijk bereikbaar met het OV. Je loopt er vanaf Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk naartoe in +/-15 minuten. Of pakt de bus die iedere 10 minuten vanaf het station vertrekt.\nNIEUW IN BALFOLK?\nBalfolk 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.\n\nIn Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.\n\nWe willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.\nhttps://www.balfolk.nl/informatie/dansrichtlijnen/"

CanDance Studios heeft een prachtige Grand Ballroom voor 400 dansers en een fijne houten dansvloer, een bar en aparte workshopruimtes.\n\nKom dansen en geniet van heerlijke muziek, toffe workshops en leuke extra’s.\n\n★ Geen vaste danspartner nodig\n★ Je hoeft geen danservaring of speciale kleding te hebben om mee te doen\n★ Makkelijk te bereiken en fijne danslocatie\n★ Live muziek van de beste Balfolk muzikanten\n★ Een muzikale reis met rustige, soms romantische muziek afgewisseld met energieke nummers\n★ Overwegend de acht eenvoudig te leren basisdansen: Jig (mixer), Scottish (partnerdans), Mazurka (partnerdans), Tovercirkel (mixer), Andro (groepsdans), Hanterdro (groepsdans), Wals (partnerdans) en Bourrée (rij van paren)\nDATUM\nZondag 31 december 2025\nTICKETS\nInfo volgt\nPROGRAMMA\nInfo volgt\n\n(Geluidstechniek door ....)\nWORKSHOPS\n★ Beginners workshop \n\nInfo volgt\n\n★ Betaalde workshop\n\nInfo volgt\nLOCATIE\nCanDance Studios: Isolatorweg 28, 1014 AS Amsterdam\n\nJe parkeert gratis in de straten rondom de locatie. Het is makkelijk bereikbaar met het OV. Je loopt er vanaf Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk naartoe in +/-15 minuten. Of pakt de bus die iedere 10 minuten vanaf het station vertrekt.\nNIEUW IN BALFOLK?\nBalfolk 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.\n\nIn Balfolk is iedereen welkom om te komen dansen. Je hoeft geen danservaring te hebben om mee te kunnen doen. Je mag zijn we je bent en je hoeft geen speciale kleding of schoenen te hebben.\n\nWe willen graag dat iedereen zich bij ons vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. Daarom vinden we het belangrijk dat iedereen die naar een Balfolk evenement komt op de hoogte is van een aantal dansrichtlijnen.\nhttps://www.balfolk.nl/informatie/dansrichtlijnen/"

details: "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\nWe'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\nWe'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\nWe 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\nThank you!\r\nYours, in music and dance,\r\nVeli and Didi"
