- 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: "<b>Harry Khamis</b> and <b>Pat Pi </b>will teach <b>Kalle P. vals</b>. This is a favorite Swedish pattern waltz among Scandinavian dancers. The same dance is called Margot's Valsen in Norway. In recent years, two additional parts have been added to the dance (it was decided that Kalle P. needed a family): Lotta (wife) and Tvillingarna (the twins). Harry and Pat will start with a careful review of Kalle P, then will add the two additional parts of the dance. See: <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbRHNZHfhxk\" target=\"_blank\">www.youtube.com/watch?v=<u></u>NbRHNZHfhxk</a>. <br> <br>Music will be provided by the ever-popular<b> Hale Bill and the Bopps</b>.
