Een internationaal bal deze keer met topmuzikant Jeroen Laureyssens uit België en een bijzonder trio uit Zweden. Ook deze keer weer een dansworkshop vooraf, gericht op onder andere de Slängpolska en diverse andere Zweedse dansen. Kijk hier voor alle informatie over de workshop.\n\nJeroen Laureyssens is een multi-getalenteerde Belgische diatonische accordeon speler. Hij speelde al op zesjarige leeftijd muziek en komt uit een muzikale familie. Musiceren, bijzondere composities maken en improvisatie zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van zijn muzikale leven. Hij speelt onder andere in Les Frères d’Eeckère, Duo Brabants-Laureyssens, Cosmo en The Quest.\n\nHet Trio Västanvinden (ook wel ‘De Westenwind) speelt groovy trad muziek uit Zweden en andere Noordse landen. De ongebruikelijke mix van instrumenten, namelijk harmonica, klarinet en citer, geeft het trio een uniek, eigen geluid en doet een frisse wind waaien door de traditionele tunes. De sterke connectie tussen traditionele muzike en dans is fundamenteel voor de muzikale benadering van het trio en ze spelen daarom graag live voor dansers. De groep is opgericht aan het Royal College of Music in Stokcholm, waar de leden alledrie hebben gestudeerd. Hun debuutalbum is in oktober 2021 gepresenteerd. \n\nDansworkshop\nVoorafgaand aan het bal zal er ook een dansworkshop zijn, gegeven door Västanvinden zelf. De informatie over deze workshop vind je hier.\n\n\nHet programma voor het bal\n17.00: Picknick\n18.00: Dansuitleg\n19.00: Bal!\n23.00: Einde\n\nDansuitleg\nDe dansuitleg is bedoeld om weer even in te komen voor als je al een poosje niet gedanst hebt, of als je de eerste pasjes alvast onder de knie wil krijgen. Iedereen is uiteraard welkom om mee te dansen.\n\nPicknick\nEr staat ook een picknick gepland. Breng daarvoor voor jezelf (en één of twee anderen) wat lekkers te eten mee, wat op één grote tafel wordt verzameld, zodat we met z’n allen een heerlijke maaltijd zullen hebben. Het is handig om eigen bord en bestek mee te nemen, dat is niet aanwezig op de locatie zelf.\n\nLocatie\nHet is de tweede keer dat we een bal geven in het Maaspodium in Rotterdam. Deze locatie vind je aan de Sint-Jobsweg 3 in Rotterdam. Er is een mooie danszaal en een gezellige bar en foyer waar behalve dansen ook wat bijgekomen en gekletst kan worden. Metrostation Coolhaven is op een kleine 10-15 minuten lopen afstand, er stopt ook een tram vlakbij. Op zondag is voor zover bekend straatparkeren gratis. Er is ook een parkeergarage vlakbij. Gebruik je eigen favoriete routeplanner om je route te bepalen. Meer informatie is te vinden op de website van het Maaspodium. \n\nToegang\nTickets kosten voor dit bal 25 euro per persoon. Reserveren is fijn, zowel voor jezelf als voor ons, dan weten wij hoe gezellig het gaat worden.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/oktoberbal-in-rotterdam/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/dansworkshop-slangpolska-met-zweedse-band-vastanvinden/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1114054992570529/"],"start":"2022-10-01T14:30:00+02:00","end":"2022-10-01T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Jeroen

Tessel en Xander een introductie in de Valdresspringar, een dans uit Noorwegen. Voor de leiders betekent dat koppige bokkensprongen en voor de volgers magnifiek draaiwerk! Samen leer je het beginsel van een dans die veel inspiratie biedt voor meer gebruikelijke parade dansen… Het is verstandig om gladde schoenen mee te nemen, zeker voor de volgers. Mocht je minder willen of kunnen draaien, maak je geen zorgen! Tessel en Xander leren je ook een draaiarmere variatie aan.\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. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-258-rotterdam-bourree-in-2-basis/"],"start":"2023-03-16T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2023-03-16T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["scandi","balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"French

Meer info: https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-baskische-dansen/\n\nNøkkenoc bestaat uit Aina Tulier (nyckelharpa, zang) en Sylvain Pool (cister, gitaar, zang) die elkaar in Occitanië ontmoetten. Ze zorgen voor een wonderlijk samenspel van Scandinavische en Occitaanse muziek: ze laten onze voeten dansen dankzij groovy muziek met grenzeloze invloeden, een frisse smaak van Zweden en de sterke smaak van Occitaanse kaas. Op het menu staan de gebruikelijke balfolkdansen, plús rondeau, congo, branle, polska, slängpolska, halling en meer!\n\nL’Air Inconnu is Fabien Bucher (gitaar, mandoline, zang), Dani Velasco (viool, zang) en Sylvain Pool (accordeon, gitaar, kick, zang). De band brengt ons muzikale creaties gebaseerd op hedendaagse en traditionele dans, nieuwsgierige oren, en dieren en planten, zowel wild als getemd. Hun composities en arrangementen van traditionele thema's worden geïnspireerd door emoties en sensaties tijdens de bals en festivals: het plezier van de ontmoeting, intieme poëzie, de aanstekelijkheid van muziek, lichaamsenergie en -beweging, collectieve trans, …. Wij verheugen ons immens op dit trio, dat van elk bal een fantastisch feestje weet te maken.\n\nBen je een nieuwe danser? Om 15:00 beginnen wij met een uurtje dansuitleg! Entree: Regulier €20, korting €15 (indien je minder te besteden hebt). Betalen kan contant of via een QR-code. Reserveren is niet nodig, er zijn altijd genoeg kaartjes beschikbaar.\n\nTijdens het bal is er een gezellige picknick. Neem hiervoor vooral wat lekkers mee, dan delen we dat met z'n allen. Vergeet je bordje, bestek en opscheplepels niet. Een waterfles is ook een aanrader. Neem zelf geen andere dingen mee, de bar verkoopt genoeg lekkere drankjes!\n\nVoorlopig programma:\n\n15:00 Dansinitiatie\n16:00 L'Air Inconnu\n18:00 Potluck\n19:00 Nøkkenoc\n21:00 Einde","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/wageningen-junushoff-11/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/workshop-baskische-dansen/","https://www.facebook.com/events/287649964257655/"],"start":"2023-12-17T13:00:00+01:00","end":"2023-12-17T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Wageningen","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Nøkkenoc","L'air Inconnu"],"price":"€15-€20","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl_2023.yaml"},{"name":"Swedish dance party","details":"Een heerlijke middag met Zweedse muziek en dans.\nSparv, bestaande uit Corné Hoogervorst en Ellen Kempers, speelt een gevarieerd programma met dansen zoals hambo, schottis, diverse polskor en wals.\n\nAan het begin van de middag is er een korte workshop o.l.v.

Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds.

Deze week geeft Xander een beginners les Røros pols (onder begeleiding van levende muziek). Dat is een Noorse dans die veel gedanst en gespeeld wordt binnen het circuit van het Scandinavisch dansen. Energieker en met meer ruimte voor improvisatie dan de polska en de Røros pols kan gedanst worden op veel van de snellere \"balfolk polska's\" dus is het een mooie aanvulling op jouw dansen! Met live-muziek dus, en mogelijk spelen zij ook nog mee tijdens het vrijdansen....\n\nProgramma\n\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. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.\n\nZaalregels\nIn de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.\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-298-rotterdam-noordse-dansen/"],"start":"2024-04-11T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:00:00+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":"2024-04-11T19:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-04-11T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Sweden","city":"Uppsala","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Uppsala Spelmanslag"],"organisation":"Eric Sahlström Institutet","source":"events/sweden/uppsala.yaml"},{"name":"Springdans Northwest","links":["https://skandia-folkdance.org/springdans.html"],"start_date":"2024-04-12","end_date":"2024-04-15","country":"USA","state":"WA","city":"Seabeck","styles":["scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"Skandia Folkdance Society","source":"events/usa/seattle.yaml"},{"name":"Scandinavian Monthly Dance","details":"Social Scandinavian dancing, mostly to live music.

Zij spelen prachtige Zweedse dansmuziek, traditioneel én eigen creaties, die je later thuis ook kunt beluisteren op hun CD Bortlängtan.\n\nIn het eerste deel van deze middag (ca. 3 kwartier) zullen er een aantal basispassen van verschillende Zweedse dansen worden uitgelegd.
