Het onderwerp van de workshop is een Zweedse dans: de polska. Dit is een vervolg op de workshop van vorige week waarin de basis behandeld werd. Deze workshop wordt gegeven door Wim en Leora.\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-333-rotterdam-zweedse-dansen-polska-vervolg/"],"start":"2025-03-27T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-03-27T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Cleveland Thursday English Country Dance","details":"Come join us every Thursday afternoon for English Country Dancing. \nCombination of live and recorded music, in an air-conditioned hall.","links":["https://englishcountryorg.wordpress.com/","https://cdss.org/event/cleveland-thursday-english-country-dance/2025-03-27/"],"start":"2025-03-27T13:30:00-04:00","end":"2025-03-27T15:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"OH","city":"Cleveland Heights","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"$3","organisation":"Cleveland English Dance Community","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk-Abendkurs Sommersemester","details":"Wann? — März bis Juni, donnerstags, 19:00 bis 20:30\r\nWo? — 8., Lange Gasse 8/2\r\n\r\nTeilnahmebeitrag: 120€ / reduziert: 80€\r\nSchnuppertag und Anmeldeschluss: 6.3.\r\nAnmeldungen bitte per E-Mail an roman@folktanz.at.\r\n\r\nFoto: Ivan Pomé (https://ivanpome.com/) am Prague Balfolk Weekend 2025","links":["https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-abendkurs"],"start":"2025-03-27T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-03-27T20:30:00+01:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Roman Zimmermann","source":"events/austria/plug_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Harmony of Rhythms","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/595122413505671/595122436839002"],"start":"2025-03-27T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-03-27T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Rhythmic Connections","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Swedish dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/905313698173576/905313704840242/"],"start":"2025-03-27T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-03-27T21:30:00+01:00","country":"Poland","city":"Warsaw","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Akademia Tańca Tradycyjnego","source":"events/poland/warsaw.yaml"},{"name":"Breton Dance Workshop","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/505073699311296/"],"start":"2025-03-27T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2025-03-27T21:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Edinburgh","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"£3-£5","organisation":"BreizhAlba","source":"events/uk/edinbal.yaml"},{"name":"Lake City Contra Dance","details":"Thursday nights; doors open at 7 pm \nDances: intro/refresher workshop 7:15 pm, dancing 7:30 till 10:00 pm \nAdmission on a sliding scale $10 – 20 – pay what you can \nThe hall is well-ventilated and air-conditioned! \nFor more information call 206-525-0932, or send us email.","links":["https://seattledance.org/contra/lakecity/","https://cdss.org/event/lake-city-contra-dance/2025-03-27/"],"start":"2025-03-27T19:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-03-27T22:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"WA","city":"Seattle","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$10-$20","organisation":"Lake City Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Rochester Thursday Night Contras","details":"We are a welcoming contra group, dancing every week to live music.

Uiteraard wordt er ook een dansuitleg vooraf gedaan, zodat je, ook als je nog niet eerder (balfolk) gedanst hebt, je meteen de dansvloer op kunt daarna.\nBands\nDe drie bands die komen optreden zijn Cardboard Cabin, Fyndus en ba.fnu.\nDe Belgische toppers van Cardboard Cabin brengen warme, dansbare folkmuziek. Zij wisselen intieme momenten af met stevige powerfolk. Cardboard Cabin bestaat uit Jeroen Werbrouck op accordeon, Flor Delombaerde op contrabas, Tim Orroi op drums en Thomas Clerbout op sopraansax.\nFyndus is een fijn muzikaal folkduo, met Emma Coopman (zang, Keltische harp & diatonische accordeon) & Thomas Hoste (elektro-akoestische altdraailier & geluidseffecten). Zij brengen samen heerlijk dansbare luistermuziek - of beter: luisterbare dansmuziek. Dit jaar brengen ze hun eerste cd uit.\nBa.fnu is een band uit Tsjechië. De band mixt traditionele balfolk-dansmuziek met fest-noz en geeft daar met nieuwe ritmes en composities een Tsjechische twist aan. Heerlijke dansbare muziek met een vleugje mystiek.\nWorkshops\nIn de middag worden twee workshops aangeboden. Een van de dansworkshops is voor beginners / begonners, gegeven door Paul en Bo. De andere is bedoeld voor gevorderden en wordt gegeven door Rian de Jong.\nBij het aanmelden voor de dansworkshops vragen we je om je danservaring door te geven, zodat je bij de workshop aansluit waar jij het meeste plezier van zult hebben.\nReserveren is noodzakelijk, mede vanwege een maximum aantal deelnemers, maar ook om je de laatste praktische informatie tijdig door te kunnen geven. Onderaan deze pagina vind je het reserveringsformulier. Reserveren kan nog tot uiterlijk vrijdag 28 maart 12.00 uur. Lees je dit later en wil je toch graag meedoen? Mail even naar balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com of er nog plek is.\nKlik hieronder op de pijltjes voor meer informatie over de verschillende workshops\n\nDansworkshop voor beginners /begonnersConnectie en dynamiek - Gegeven door Paul en Bo\n\nHeb je al eens meegedaan met introducties en zo nu en dan op een bal gedanst? Je hebt vast dansers gezien waar alles lijkt te gaan alsof ze het afgesproken hebben. De mensen die zonder moeite over de dansvloer bewegen. Deze dansers bezitten basistechnieken en principes waar je in deze workshop mee bekend zult raken. Deze workshop is speciaal om danservaring te verbeteren, met de nadruk op veiligheid, feedback, zintuigen en houding. Je gaat aan de slag met de basis van een goede dansconnectie en hoe je deze op verschillende manieren kunt toepassen.\n\nMeer informatie \nAls je net begint kan de dansvloer voelen als een leeuwenkuil, maar wees gerust, hier zijn handvatten voor. Leer hoe je fysieke en mentale veiligheid waarborgt in je dans, van het afwijzen van een dans tot het veilig uitvoeren van bewegingen en het aangeven van je eigen grenzen. Daarnaast is ook connectie en houding van belang. Elkaar vinden of tegemoet komen in een dans. Zonder woorden weten wat de ander wil zeggen en hoe je hier op kunt reageren. Wat is nu een correcte houding en wat bedoelen sommige dansers met ‘spanning en flexibiliteit’? Je gaat aan de slag met basistechnieken die in de meeste dansen hard nodig zijn.\n\nWat verwachten we van jou?\nJe hebt ooit introducties of de basis meegekregen van de scottish, gigue, tovercirkel, hanterdro en eventueel de mazurka, maar hoeft deze nog niet volledig te kunnen OF je bent iemand die snel nieuwe dansen oppikt (bijvoorbeeld door andere danservaring). En: jij staat open om te leren en samen nieuwe dingen uit te proberen.\n\nWie zijn de docenten?\nPaul de Man heeft meer dan 15 jaar ervaring in balfolk en stijldansen. In zijn lessen neemt hij verschillende technieken mee. Zijn focus ligt op het creëren van spanning en het neerzetten van een duidelijke frame. Bo Caubo heeft een jarenlange achtergrond in theater en dans. Sinds haar kennismaking met balfolk een paar jaar terug, heeft ze ontelbare vlieguren gemaakt. Bo specialiseert zich in controle, spierspanning en dynamiek, waarbij de nadruk ligt op het spel en de verbinding tussen dansers.\n\n Dansworkshop voor gevorderdenThe big five - Communicatie en samenzijn in (koppel)dansen - Gegeven door Rian de Jong\n\nWist je dat je ten alle tijden vijf danspartners hebt? Wie of wat zijn die dan? Hoe ga ik met ze om? In deze workshop ga je aan de slag met het aandacht geven aan en wisselen tussen deze vijf danspartners. Niet alleen met het ontdekken van hoe je samen danst en communiceert, maar ook hoe het zit met individuele verschillen in dansen en hoe je daar op aan te passen.\n\nWat verwachten we van jou?\nDe scottish, wals en mazurka zullen worden gebruikt om te exploreren wat samen zijn betekent, hoe deze uit te dagen en om er mee te spelen. Voor deze workshop wordt dus van je verwacht dat je deze in de basis al goed onder de knie hebt.\n\nWie is de docent?\nRian de Jong  danst al meer dan tien jaar balfolk en heeft daarnaast veel andere tango en salsa ervaring. Ze is van origine een klassiek danser, waardoor ze een liefde voor danstechniek heeft opgebouwd. Haar hart gaat uit naar samen dansen en spelen en vooral dansplezier.\n\n \n\n\nProgramma\nHet programma voor dit bal met workshop vooraf:\n13.00 - 16.30: Workshops\n17.00 - 18.00: Picnick\n18.00 - 18.30: Dansuitleg\n18.30 - 20.00: Cardboard Cabin\n20.30 - 22.00: Fyndus\n22.30 - 24.00: ba.fnu\nLocatie\nHet jubileumbal vindt plaats op twee locaties: het Maaspodium voor de picknick en het bal in de avond, theater Altstadt voor de workshops in de middag. De locaties zijn beiden op eigen gelegenheid te bereiken en liggen op ongeveer 15 minuten lopen van elkaar vandaan. Op beide locaties zijn mensen van Balfolk Zuid-Holland aanwezig om je verder te helpen.\nMaaspodium\nSint Jobsweg 3\nRotterdam\nTheater Altstadt\nSchans 6\nRotterdam\nKijk voor routes met de auto op je favoriete routeplanner. Er is een parkeergarage vlakbij het Maaspodium. Zorg wel dat je tijdig een plekje reserveert, want vanwege een musical vlakbij is die garage regelmatig bijna vol. Het zou zonde zijn als je het eerste deel van het bal mist omdat je rondjes moet rijden op zoek naar een parkeerplek.\nReserveren voor een parkeerplek kan hier (de link gaat naar de website van Q-Park)\nVoor andere parkeeropties die aansluiten bij jouw wensen kun je www.prettigparkeren.nl raadplegen.\nMet het OV ligt theater Altstadt het dichts bij metrostation Delfshaven, vanaf daar is het nog geen 5 minuten lopen. Het Maaspodium ligt op een kleine 10 minuten vanaf metrostation Coolhaven. Check je favoriete OV-planner voor details qua aankomsttijden.\nReserveren\nReserveren voor dit bal wordt aangeraden. Voor de workshops moet gereserveerd worden, om zeker te zijn van een plekje.

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. \n​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. \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","links":["https://www.tapestryfolkdance.org/contra","https://cdss.org/event/contra-dance-at-tapestry-folkdance-center/2025-03-29/"],"start":"2025-03-29T19:30:00-05:00","end":"2025-03-29T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Patchwork Players"],"callers":["David Kirchner"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"MiniBal at Toitū","links":["https://www.balfolk.co.nz/dunedin"],"start":"2025-03-30T14:00:00+13:00","end":"2025-03-30T15:30:00+13:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","links":["https://paloaltocontradance.org/calendar/"],"start":"2025-03-29T18:30:00-07:00","end":"2025-03-29T22:00:00-07:00","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Palo Alto","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Little Big Band"],"callers":["Susan Petrick"],"price":"$20","organisation":"Palo Alto Contra Dance","source":"events/usa/palo_alto.yaml"},{"name":"Tucson Contra Dance","details":"Join us for our fifth Saturday contra dance!

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!","links":["https://www.tapestryfolkdance.org/english-country-dance","https://cdss.org/event/english-country-dance-at-tapestry-folkdance-center-3/2025-03-30/"],"start":"2025-03-30T19:00:00-05:00","end":"2025-03-30T21:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$4-$12","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Dance Course","links":["https://baselfolk.ch/","https://danseinfo.ch/agenda/7791/balfolk-tanzkurs?jour=31-3-2025"],"start":"2025-03-31T17:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-03-31T18:00:00+01:00","country":"Switzerland","city":"Basel","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Basel Folk","source":"events/switzerland/basel.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance Course","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/327091070425645/327091143758971/"],"start":"2025-03-31T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-03-31T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Milan","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"La Scighera","source":"events/italy/milan.yaml"},{"name":"Minibal in Heiligenberg","details":"Mara und Torge","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/859394917"],"start":"2025-03-31T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-03-31T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Heiligenberg","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Mara & Torge"],"organisation":"Sönke","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Beginners part 2 trial lesson","details":"Je kunt je hier aanmelden: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeT9_yt4Vv0JN-W1v4liKiwKZ0Pts4E1cGk5UfRXyRMc8sRHQ/viewform?usp=dialog\n\nDeze lessenreeks vindt plaats van 31 maart t/m 28 april.

Het onderwerp van de workshop is een Zweedse dans: de slängpolska.

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.

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. \n​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. \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","links":["https://www.tapestryfolkdance.org/contra","https://cdss.org/event/contra-dance-at-tapestry-folkdance-center/2025-04-05/"],"start":"2025-04-05T20:00:00-05:00","end":"2025-04-05T23:00:00-05:00","country":"USA","state":"MN","city":"Minneapolis","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Tunebuggy"],"callers":["Lisa Leedham"],"price":"$4-$15","organisation":"Tapestry Folkdance Center","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Tucson Contra Dance","details":"Join us for our first and third Saturday contra dance!

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/","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/sloterbal-met-wouter-kuyper-en-snaarmaarwaar","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/sloterbal-met-wouter-kuyper-en-snaarmaarwaar/","https://www.plug.events/event/sloterbal-met-wouter-kuyper-en-snaarmaarwaar","https://www.facebook.com/events/1366144224539975/"],"start":"2025-04-06T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-06T21:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Snaarmaarwaar","Wouter Kuyper"],"price":"€19.50-€25","organisation":"Balfolk Amsterdam","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"New Forest Eurobal","details":"A dance organised by Eurobal Wessex.

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.

Zowel voor als na het optreden van Att dansa zullen we het gebruikelijke programma van muziek uit de computer volgen.\n\n\"Het kersverse duo ‘Att dansa’ bestaat uit twee gedreven muzikanten met een passie voor de traditionele dansmuziek uit de noordelijke streken. De meeste muziek komt uit Zweden. Soms steken we de grens over, maar blijven altijd in de buurt. ‘Att dansa’ bestaat uit Marieke van der Hoek op viool en Corné Hoogervorst op trekharmonica. Voel de sfeer van het noorden in de muziek en dans, dans, dans….\"\n\nKoffie en thee zijn gratis en iedereen is welkom om iets lekkers uit te delen. Alcohol is niet toegestaan.\n\nTussen 19:30 en 20:00 nemen we de tijd om beginners wat basispassen te leren of technische vragen over dansen te beantwoorden.\n\nPraat ook mee op onze discord https://discord.gg/wMuHDEH8Ua .","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansavond-2025-04-08/"],"start":"2025-04-08T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-08T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Zeist","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Att Dansa"],"price":"€5","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Gugelhupf: Tanzabend","details":"Einführungsstunde: Fado - Choreographien Nanni Kloke","links":["https://www.gugelhupf-dresden.de/tanz-am-dienstag/"],"start":"2025-04-08T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-08T23:59:59+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Dresden","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Folktanz Dresden e.V.","source":"events/germany/dresden.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Class","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/2985360294944406/2985360324944403/"],"start":"2025-04-08T21:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-08T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Italy","city":"Naples","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Neapolis Balfolk","source":"events/italy/naples.yaml"},{"name":"Danslessen Folk Limburg - Begonners","details":"Course","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2673"],"start":"2025-04-09T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-09T21:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Diepenbeek","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€90","organisation":"Folk In Limburg","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Wednesday Balfolk","details":"Zapraszamy na potańcówkę balfolkową w Chacie.\r\nO 20:00 warsztaty\r\nO 21:00 potańc.\r\nWstęp na imprezę: 10 zł\r\nWstęp na warsztaty: dowolna kwota wedle uznania","links":["https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-srodowy46"],"start":"2025-04-09T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-09T23:45:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Warsaw","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"10 PLN","organisation":"Numinosum","source":"events/poland/plug_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal Wilhelmina","details":"Een balavond met de man die de organisatie en dansuitleg van Folkbal Wilhelmina de eerste 20 (!!) jaar verzorgde: Folie du Nord, met Wilco, Thomas en Els.

We gaan deze workshop bezig met Noorse dansen onder leiding van Xander en Tessel.\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-335-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-04-10T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-10T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tobotorsdag","links":["https://esitobo.org/evenemang/tobotorsdag/"],"start":"2025-04-10T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-10T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Trollrike Spelmän"],"price":"50 SEK","organisation":"Eric Sahlström Institutet","source":"events/sweden/uppsala.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk-Abendkurs Sommersemester","details":"Wann?

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nSwartematerieSwartematerie is het alter ego van Patricia Swart, die met saxen en klarinet en een loopstation allerlei laagjes over elkaar legt waar dan een jig of mazurka op gedanst kan worden. De toegift wordt op verzoek een wals waarmee ze haar set begon. Het is de eerste keer dat ze deze nummers (de eerste vijf die ze ooit geschreven heeft voor balfolk) solo voor publiek speelt, vertelt ze. Ze is nu al een paar jaar bezig met het spelen van balfolkmuziek en maakte deel uit van Dioptrie, dat echter niet vaak opgetreden heeft en inmiddels gestopt is. Verder speelt ze in Androneda. Muziek beschouwt ze als donkere materie, waarvan niemand echt weet wat het precies is, maar er is een trilling. Op den duur wil ze graag gaan werken met meer technieken om soundscapes te creëren. Balfolkmelodieën lenen zich daar goed voor omdat ze vaak een eenvoudige structuur hebben.Website: http://www.patriciaswart.nl/?page=agenda\n\nWat 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.\n\nDe KapelDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen.

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.

De band die komt spelen is Exqueezit.\n\nExqueezit is het duo Bert Leemans (chromatische knop-accordeon) en Erik de Jong (piano-accordeon). Bert (bekend van o.a. EmBRUN, Elanor en Airboxes) en Erik (bekend van o.a. The Assasenachs, Itchy Fingers en de Gonnagles). Met een wederzijds respect voor elkaars muziekachtergrond en speelstijl (Erik meer Iers/Schots en Bert meer Balfolk), brengen Bert en Erik heerlijke Balfolk met zowel Frans/Vlaamse als Keltische invloeden. Of je nu danst of luistert, het is sowieso genieten. De twee muzikanten leerden elkaar in 2006 kennen op de muziekstage Vliers op Texel, waar Bert aan Erik de fijne kneepjes van het Balfolk spelen liet zien. Toen in 2018 Bert vaker in Noord Nederland te vinden was, kwam hij Erik weer tegen in Irish Pub O&#39;Ceallaigh in Groningen. Al gauw was duidelijk dat de mannen genoten van samenspelen. Hier ontstond dan ook het idee voor een optreden als duo op het 15-jarig jubileum van Balfolk in Café Wilhelmina in Eindhoven. Een half jaar later herhaalde dat zich nog een keer op Elfia Haarzuilens 2019 en zo is Exqueezit ontstaan.\n\nGratis\nHet 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.\nDansuitleg 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.\n\nProgramma\nHet exacte programma met de tijden volgt nog. Je kunt naar wens binnen komen lopen in De Doelen (maar vanaf het begin meedoen is natuurlijk wel het leukste).\n\nVernieuwde locatie\nOnlangs is De Doelen Studio volledig vernieuwd en opgeknapt. De ruimte is fijner om te dansen, de bar is apart - en de studio is nu zelfs op een nieuwe plek te vinden in het gebouw!\nHet adres is: Kruisplein 44. Volg de tonen van de balfolkmuziek en het gaat helemaal goed komen!\n\nBereikbaarheid\nDe 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 (zoek daarin wel even verder naar parkeergarages want standaard zie je een vrij dure optie). Je kunt voor De Doelen Studio naar binnen via een aparte ingang op de hoek van het Schouwburgplein en het Kruisplein, Kruisplein 44. \n\nInformatie\nMeer weten of vragen?

Fior maakt muziek voor de dansvloer en concertzalen, ze laten mensen dansen en dromen.\n\nTot nu toe werkten de vier muzikanten van Fior intensief aan en speelden ze volksmuziek uit andere landen (vooral Zweden, Frankrijk en Ierland), maar nu ontwikkelden ze een dringende wens om meer te weten te komen over de melodieën en liederen van hun thuisland Duitsland en deze nieuw leven in te blazen. Ze zijn een ware schat aan muziek tegengekomen, die niet langer rustig mag slapen! Middeleeuwse ballades en volksliederen ontmoeten bewerkingen van gedichten van schrijvers als Fontane en Eichendorff, groovy jigs wisselen af ​​met zachte walsen en traditionele melodieën uit herontdekte Duitse muziekmanuscripten worden verweven met de eigen composities van de band.\n\nHun debuutalbum \"Manuskript\" (uitgebracht in mei 2022) heeft uitstekende persrecensies gekregen. Zo werd het genomineerd voor de prestigieuze \"Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik\" (Duitse platencriticiprijs), door het Belgische tijdschrift \"Le Canard Folk\" verkozen tot \"Album van de maand juni 2022\" en het toonaangevende Duitse folktijdschrift \"Folker\" geeft het album een ​​\"onvoorwaardelijke aanbeveling\".\n\nDe unieke instrumentatie garandeert een onnavolgbare en levendige concertervaring. De zachte zang, de Keltische kleuren van de DADGAD-gitaar en tin whistle, het Noordse geluid van de Zweedse nyckelharpa en säckpipa, evenals het intense dronegeluid van de draailier bieden een zelden gehoorde klankkosmos en nemen het publiek mee op een lyrische reis vol groove.\n\nFior zijn Regina Kunkel (nyckelharpa), Rick Krüger (zang, doedelzak, fluit, klarinet, concertina), Sebastian Elsner (draailier) en Björn Kaidel (gitaar, nyckelharpa). Nadat Regina, Rick en Björn al enkele jaren actief waren in de Duitse folkscene met hun instrumentale folkduo's Akleja en Airu, ontstond het idee om een ​​nieuwe band op te richten die zich richt op liedjes en teksten. Met de draailierspeler Sebastian Elsner vonden ze de perfecte match voor dit project. In het geheim ontwikkelden ze een nieuw concertprogramma dat ze nu ontketenen.\n\nAlle vier de muzikanten behoren tot de toonaangevende bespelers van hun instrument in Duitsland, hebben ruime podiumervaring (o.a. Interkeltisches Folkfestival, Festival Mediaval, Folklorum) en zijn naast hun werk als muzikant ook veelgevraagd als docent bij cursussen en workshops in Duitsland en daarbuiten.\n\n\n\n \tPFM!\n\nPFM! 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.\n\nHet 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.\n\nAlle drie de bandleden zijn enthousiaste dansers, maar staan ook graag op het podium, daarom zeggen zij: boek ons!\nLocatie\nMezrab 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.\n\nEr is plek voor zo'n 100 dansers.\n\nAdres:\nMezrab\nVeemkade 576\n1019 BL Amsterdam\n\nFotocredit\nBalfolk Amsterdam","links":["https://balfolkamsterdam.nl/balfolk-social-met-fior-en-pfm","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-social-met-duo-clercx-en-nut-en-genoegen/","https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-social-met-fior-en-pfm","https://www.facebook.com/events/1532116687500057/"],"start":"2025-04-20T16:15:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-20T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Fior","PFM!"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"Balfolk Amsterdam","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bristol French Session","details":"Balfolk Tunes and Dancing","links":["https://bathfrenchsession.wordpress.com/"],"start":"2025-04-20T18:45:00+02:00","end":"2025-04-20T22:00:00+02:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Bath & Bristol French Sessions","source":"events/uk/bristol_bath_french_session.yaml"},{"name":"Avondbal bij de Muziekstage","details":"Jaarlijks is er in Sint-Michielsgestel een interessant muziekweekend met workshops over balfolk en dansmuziek.

Victor and Christiane hebben elkaar ontmoet tijdens de Berlijnse zomer op de kade van de Spree. Vanaf het begin, zijn ze al geinspireerd door de energie van de dansers en maken de muziek dan ook speciaal voor hun. De muziek is te omschrijven als \"Playful\" maar ook gevoelig.  Ze onderzoeken de mogelijkheden in het geluid en het samenspel van de twaalf snarige Mandolin en de Cello. Ze creëren een unique geluid. Aan de ene kant veer \"feather\" licht en aan de andere kant vol met energieke tunes \"fox\".\n\nJAMSESSIE 23:00- uiterlijk 1:00\n\nNa het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van 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!\n\nENTREE: Naar ondersteuningsmogelijkheid.

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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-337-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-05-08T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-08T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tobotorsdag","links":["https://esitobo.org/evenemang/tobotorsdag/"],"start":"2025-05-08T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-08T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"50

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/","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/festibal-een-balfolk-happening-2/"],"start":"2025-05-10T13:15:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Portuguese Dances","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/portuguese-dances-mechelen/1206/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2716"],"start":"2025-05-10T13:15:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T13:15:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Mechelen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€20-€55","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tanz zum Frühlingsfest","links":["https://spreefolk.de/events/2505-fruehlingsfest"],"start":"2025-05-10T15:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T20:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Berlin","styles":["balfolk","italian"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["I Pizzicati","Kördeböf"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Quartiersmanagement Auguste-Viktoria-Allee und SmArt GbR","source":"events/germany/spreefolk.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2721","https://www.facebook.com/events/9014814548628929/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2728"],"start":"2025-05-10T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T22:30:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Knesselare","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Samenspel Folk Academie Aalter","Duo Mackie-Hendrix"],"price":"€10","organisation":"100%Folkoren","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzhaus","details":"Ballkanesen","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/922561132"],"start":"2025-05-10T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T23:30:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Tübingen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Ballkanesen"],"organisation":"Anja von Richthofen","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzhaus Innsbruck","links":["https://tanzhaus-innsbruck.jimdofree.com/"],"start":"2025-05-10T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Innsbruck","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Bowidl extended"],"price":"€10-€20","organisation":"Tanzhaus Innsbruck","source":"events/austria/innsbruck.yaml"},{"name":"d'Accord","links":["https://www.facebook.com/groups/149787688758876/posts/1813811482356480/"],"start":"2025-05-10T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-10T22:45:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Exeter","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Shivelight"],"price":"£10","organisation":"d'Accord","source":"events/uk/daccord.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk in der TanzEtage","details":"Filippo Gambetta","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/912322674"],"start":"2025-05-10T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-10T23:30:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Gomaringen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Filippo Gambetta"],"organisation":"Silvia Fuchs","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Live and Local","links":["https://www.liveandlocal.org.uk/event/?id=9001"],"start":"2025-05-10T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-10T21:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Lincoln","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Cri du Canard"],"price":"£12.50","organisation":"Cri du Canard","source":"events/uk/lincoln.yaml"},{"name":"London Barndance","links":["https://www.barndance.org/programme.html","https://www.facebook.com/events/1298208587922046/"],"start":"2025-05-10T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-10T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Bruce Rosen & Audrey Jaber"],"callers":["Sue Rosen"],"price":"£5-£15","organisation":"London Barndance Company","source":"events/uk/london_barndance.yaml"},{"name":"Dover Monthly English Country Dance","details":"Monthly English country dance with live music.  Newcomers are always welcome, and each dance is taught with a walk-through before it is danced. \nDress is casual (“regular” clothes) except for special events (Spring and Holiday dances), when attendees may dress in formal/cocktail or 18th century attire. \nAnnual membership for the January – December season is $10.

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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-338-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-05-15T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-15T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk-Abendkurs Sommersemester","details":"Wann? — März bis Juni, donnerstags, 19:00 bis 20:30\r\nWo? — 8., Lange Gasse 8/2\r\n\r\nTeilnahmebeitrag: 120€ / reduziert: 80€\r\nSchnuppertag und Anmeldeschluss: 6.3.\r\nAnmeldungen bitte per E-Mail an roman@folktanz.at.\r\n\r\nFoto: Ivan Pomé (https://ivanpome.com/) am Prague Balfolk Weekend 2025","links":["https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-abendkurs"],"start":"2025-05-15T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-15T20:30:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Roman Zimmermann","source":"events/austria/plug_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary"],"start":"2025-05-15T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-15T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Trad i Malung","links":["http://www.tradimalung.se/"],"start_date":"2025-05-16","end_date":"2025-05-17","country":"Sweden","city":"Malung","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Malung Folkhögskola","source":"events/sweden/malung.yaml"},{"name":"Kurs: Balfolk","details":"VHS Tübingen","links":["https://kalender.digital/574d155c91900caea879/event/923210616"],"start":"2025-05-16T14:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-16T18:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Tübingen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Anja von Richthofen","source":"events/germany/kalender.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolkcafe Groningen","details":"Elke maand een bal in de kapel van het oude RKZ!

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nExqueezitExqueezit is het duo Bert Leemans (chromatische knop-accordeon) en Erik de Jong (piano-accordeon).Bert (bekend van o.a. EmBRUN, Elanor en Airboxes) en Erik (bekend van o.a. The Assasenachs, Itchy Fingers en de Gonnagles) leerden elkaar in 2006 kennen op de muziekstage Vliers op Texel, waar Bert aan Erik de fijne kneepjes van het Balfolk spelen liet zien.Toen in 2018, Bert vaker in Noord Nederland te vinden was, kwam hij Erik weer tegen in Irish Pub O'Ceallaigh in Groningen. Al gauw was duidelijk dat de mannen genoten van samenspelen. Hier ontstond dan ook het idee voor een optreden als duo op het 15-jarig jubileum van Balfolk in Café Wilhelmina in Eindhoven. Een half jaar later herhaalde dat zich nog een keer op de Elf Fantasy Fair Haarzuilens 2019 en zo is Exqueezit ontstaan.Met een wederzijds respect voor elkaars muziekachtergrond en speelstijl (Erik meer Iers/Schots en Bert meer Balfolk), brengen Bert en Erik heerlijke Balfolk met zowel Frans/Vlaamse als Keltische invloeden. Of je nu danst of luistert, het is sowieso genieten.\n\nWat 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.\n\nDe 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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolkcafe-groningen-met-exqueezit/"],"start":"2025-05-16T19:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-16T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Exqueezit"],"price":"€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Practica","details":"Ball","links":["https://folkbalbende.be/event/2723"],"start":"2025-05-16T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-16T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Bouwel","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Academie Herentals Met Jeroen Knapen"],"price":"donation","organisation":"Netefolk","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Call Me Ceilidh","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/1045907033611435/","https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/lost-horizon/fri-16-may-call-me-ceilidh-may-day-special-edition-115721#e115721"],"start":"2025-05-16T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-16T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£17.25-£20","organisation":"Call Me Ceilidh","source":"events/uk/bristol.yaml"},{"name":"TANZhaus WABE","details":"19:00 Uhr – Tanzeinführungsworkshop\n20:00 Uhr – BalFolk – 1.

Deze workshop wordt gegeven door Leo en we gaan hierin bezig met de ronde de Quercy en andere ronde dansen.\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-339-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-05-22T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-22T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk-Abendkurs Sommersemester","details":"Wann? — März bis Juni, donnerstags, 19:00 bis 20:30\r\nWo? — 8., Lange Gasse 8/2\r\n\r\nTeilnahmebeitrag: 120€ / reduziert: 80€\r\nSchnuppertag und Anmeldeschluss: 6.3.\r\nAnmeldungen bitte per E-Mail an roman@folktanz.at.\r\n\r\nFoto: Ivan Pomé (https://ivanpome.com/) am Prague Balfolk Weekend 2025","links":["https://www.plug.events/event/balfolk-abendkurs"],"start":"2025-05-22T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-05-22T20:30:00+02:00","country":"Austria","city":"Vienna","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"Roman Zimmermann","source":"events/austria/plug_balfolk.yaml"},{"name":"Harmony of Rhythms","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/595122413505671/595122423505670"],"start":"2025-05-22T20:30:00+03:00","end":"2025-05-22T23:00:00+03:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Rhythmic Connections","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary"],"start":"2025-05-22T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-05-22T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Dancing Bears Dance Camp","details":"The Dancing Bears Dance Camp is held every Memorial Day Weekend at King’s Lake Camp in Wasilla, Alaska.

Ze zullen meerdere dansen uitleggen, dus heb je nog nooit eerder balfolk gedanst of ben je juist al ervaren?

Stuur een berichtje naar drakenbaldenbosch@gmail.com.\n\nBAL MET LE DRIADI 21:00-23:00\n\n‘Le Driadi’ is een Italiaanse band die eind 2023 werd opgericht en die, net als bosnimfen, ongekende volksmuziek verweeft met Italiaanse songwriting-invloeden. Balfolk in neo-trad-stijl vormt de kern van het project, met Franse dansen van romantische mazurka’s tot energieke Bretonse ketens. Samen creëren ze een klankbos waarin elke noot een betovering is, waardoor luisteraars worden uitgenodigd om zich te verliezen in een wereld waar muziek, dans en magie met elkaar verweven zijn.\n\nWebsite: https://ledriadi.bandcamp.com/album/dentro-lo-specchio\n\nJAMSESSIE 23:00- uiterlijk 1:00\n\nNa het optreden is er gelegenheid voor muzikanten om samen te spelen in een sessie onder leiding van 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 gratis welkom voor de sessie!\n\nVERSNAPERINGEN\n\nIn de bar kun je alles bestellen wat je wilt, probeer zeker eens een Boschgebrouwen Draken speciaalbiertje!

Minder botsingen, minder vermoeidheid - meer plezier!\nEline danst met veel plezier balfolk sinds 2012 en geeft nu voor het eerst dansinstructie. Ze wordt geassisteerd door Henri Karrenbeld.\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.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/socialles-342-rotterdam/"],"start":"2025-06-19T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-19T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"The Round club night","links":["https://round.soc.srcf.net/events","https://round.soc.srcf.net/diary"],"start":"2025-06-19T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-19T22:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["ecd","contra","e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"£2-£4","organisation":"The Round","source":"events/uk/the_round.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolkcafe Groningen","details":"Elke maand een bal in de kapel van het oude RKZ!

Box the gnat and swat the flea, but can you spot the frog?\n\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.","links":["https://contrabridge.org/events/2025-06/"],"start":"2025-06-28T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-28T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Cambridge","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Box of Frogs"],"callers":["Louise Siddons"],"price":"£7-£15","organisation":"Contrabridge","source":"events/uk/contrabridge.yaml"},{"name":"Exeter Ceilidh","links":["https://exeterceilidhs.net/"],"start":"2025-06-28T20:00:00+00:00","end":"2025-06-28T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Exeter","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Crowdy-Kit"],"price":"£4-£15","organisation":"Exeter Ceilidhs","source":"events/uk/exeter_ceilidhs.yaml"},{"name":"AmWeek","links":["https://amweek.camp/"],"start_date":"2025-06-29","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"CA","city":"Ben Lomond","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Cumberland Dance Week","links":["https://camp.cumberlanddanceweek.org/"],"start_date":"2025-06-29","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"TN","city":"Pleasantville","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["The Cosmic Otters"],"callers":["Wendy Graham","Seth Tepfer"],"price":"$675-$1075","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"MiniBal at Toitū","links":["https://www.balfolk.co.nz/dunedin"],"start":"2025-06-29T14:00:00+12:00","end":"2025-06-29T15:30:00+12:00","country":"New Zealand","city":"Dunedin","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"price":"free","organisation":"Balfolk Dunedin","source":"events/new_zealand/dunedin.yaml"},{"name":"Sunday Afternoon Masterclass","links":["http://www.contrafusion.co.uk/Saturday.html#P"],"start":"2025-06-29T14:30:00+01:00","end":"2025-06-29T16:30:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Maidstone","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"callers":["John Sweeney"],"price":"£7","organisation":"Contrafusion","source":"events/uk/contrafusion.yaml"},{"name":"Pinewoods English-Scottish-Contra","links":["https://rscdsboston.org/pinewoods-esc.html"],"start_date":"2025-06-30","end_date":"2025-07-04","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd","scd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Frost and Fire"],"callers":["Anna Rain","Ben Sachs-Hamilton","Kat Dutton"],"price":"$345-$467","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Monday Dancing: Beginners","details":"20:00 Workshop für Anfänger\n21:00 Tanz für Alle","links":["https://7schritt.de/kalender/montagstanz-anfaenger-2/"],"start":"2025-06-30T08:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-06-30T17:00:00+02:00","country":"Germany","city":"Freiburg i.

Voor en na\nhet optreden van de band deze avond is het podium voor andere muzikanten. Speel jouw\n(balfolk)muziek voor de dansers en andere muzikanten op de dansvloer.\nDus, ben jij muzikant? Wil je graag jouw muziek aan anderen laten horen, wil je oefenen met\nspelen voor (dansend) publiek of wil je misschien wel eens samenspelen met een andere\nmuzikant? 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\nnaam 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\nde sessie achteraf, dus neem je (muzikanten)vrienden en muziekinstrumenten mee.\n\nToegangsprijs\nToegang tot de seizoenssluiting is 10 euro. Dat is alleen cash te betalen, aan de deur.
