We gaan onder andere aan de slag met ritmische variaties. Docent deze week is Isobel. Let op: deze les is in het Engels, maar geen zorgen, er zijn genoeg mensen om voor je te vertalen.\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 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-315-rotterdam-scottisch-verdieping-met-o-a-ritmische-variaties/"],"start":"2024-10-24T18:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-10-24T22:00:00+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 and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/3844402895779877/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm3EpPHpg7wp7nDR6YzPEUkybQT6FDxJrhmhSrVUIjVubz5Q/viewform"],"start":"2024-10-24T20:30:00+03:00","end":"2024-10-24T23:00:00+03:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Autumn Balfolk Practice","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/392654210577952/392654217244618/"],"start":"2024-10-24T20:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-10-24T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Poland","city":"Kraków","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"20 PLN","organisation":"Balfolks","source":"events/poland/krakow.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/2024-10-24/"],"start":"2024-10-24T19:00:00-04:00","end":"2024-10-24T22:00:00-04:00","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.

De band die voor ons komt spelen is Wouter en de Draak. \n\nWouter en De Draak bestaat uit Joris Alblas en Wouter Kuyper. Zij bezorgen dansers en luisteraars een fijne kriebel in hun buik met hun luisterrijke muziek. De sterke combinatie van trekharmonica en gitaar vormt het vertrekpunt voor hun veelzijdige dansmuziek. Een optreden van Wouter en de Draak dompelt haar publiek in een heel palet aan kleuren; van betoverend intieme mazurka's tot swingende scottisches met alle registers open. In de gelijkwaardige symbiose van beide instrumenten is een grote rol voor Joris' DADGAD-gitaar\nweggelegd; misschien is het daarom dat ‘Iers’ nooit heel ver weg ligt in hun sound. Wouters sterke trekzakspel is verfrissend en heeft zijn wortels in de folkmuziek van West-Europa. Hun gezamenlijke voorliefde voor Bretonse muziek hoor je terug in dansen zoals de Gavotte de Montagne, Andro, Hanterdro, Gavotte de l’Aven of een Kost ar c’hoad die naast de gebruikelijke balfolk-ritmes op hun setlist staan. Wouter en de Draak bestaat sinds 2014 en bracht in 2017 haar titelloze debuutalbum uit.\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. \n\nDansuitleg voor beginners\nNog 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\nJe kunt naar wens binnen komen lopen in De Doelen (maar vanaf het begin meedoen is natuurlijk wel het leukste). Het programma:\n\nDansuitleg: 19.30\nBal met live Wouter en De Draak: 20.30\nEinde bal: 22.30\nDeuren sluiten: 23.30\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! Het 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?

This event will happen for the first time in Lithuania, so we hope to see everyone enjoying an infinite journey together. During the festival, there will be various workshops and dance balls. You will see performers from Lithuania and other European countries on the stage.\r\n\r\nWe would love to see how this festival becomes a tradition and connects Bal folk dancers from all over Europe.\r\nBehind the name:\r\n\r\nAd infinitum :\r\n1. meaning - without end or limit\r\n2. meaning - In context, it usually means \"continue forever, without limit,\" this can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating repeating process, or a set of instructions to be repeated \"forever,\" among other uses. It may also be used like the Latin phrase et cetera to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown. Examples include:\r\n\r\nBallo/ball :\r\n1. meaning - The Ballo was an Italian dance form during the fifteenth century, most noted for its frequent tempo and meter changes. The name ballo has its origin in Latin ballo, ballare, meaning \"to dance,\" which in turn comes from the Greek \"βαλλίζω\" \"to dance, to jump about.\" In Greece, there is a Greek dance named Ballos.\r\n2. meaning - Ballroom dances are social dancing, popular since the beginning of the 20th century, to dances in conventional rhythms ( ballroom dances) such as the foxtrot and the quickstep.\r\nProgram and other info later this year.\r\n\r\nDance is energy – Dance is freedom!\r\n\r\nNotice for Event Participants:\r\nPhotography and Videography Consent: As an attendee, you may be included in photographs and video recordings captured during the event.

Het thema deze week is de mazurka: de basis en een aanzet op variaties met gebruik van muzikaliteit in deze dans. Deze les sluit aan bij de verdieping ervan volgende week. Beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.\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 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.

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 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.

Met veel persoonlijke aandacht en gerichte oefeningen. Een intensive onderscheidt zich van een enkele workshop in een totaal opbouw met dieper detailniveau waarop wordt gewerkt. Met persoonlijke feedback uit de groep en van docent(en). De intensive is gericht op dansers die willen groeien en vanuit een technischere basis willen leren bewegen. Met als doel uiteindelijk meer vrijheid in hun dans te kunnen vinden (betere connectie en meer variatie). De duur van de intensive geeft de mogelijkheid om langer stil te staan bij onderwerpen en te werken met ervarend leren. Waarbij ruimte wordt gemaakt voor het invullen van een persoonlijk leerdoel.\n\n𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻:\nBiomechanica en natuurwetten, danshouding en basis danstechniek (denk o.a. aan balans en spierspanning), consent, connectie en improvisatie (en muzikaliteit). De focus ligt hierbij niet op danspassen maar op beweging en lichaamscontrole en belangrijkste nog wel de communicatie binnen een danskoppel. Hoe dans je samen, in plaats van hoe dans ik mét iemand…\n𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: Deelname is geschikt voor dansers uit de social dance scene. Basis ervaring in de rol van leiden OF volgen is noodzakelijk en kennis van de meest voorkomende dansen binnen Balfolk is gewenst. In de intensive wordt van een danser gevraagd om zichzelf te evalueren en ook anderen van feedback te voorzien.

In de tweede helft van de dansuitleg gaan ze dieper op één dans in.\n\nAirboxes\nBert Leemans en Guus Herremans zijn al meer dan een decennium bevriend en delen een onuitputtelijke passie voor muziek. Als ervaren muzikanten hebben ze samen een indrukwekkend repertoire opgebouwd, variërend van meeslepende dansmuziek tot intieme luisterstukken.\nHun gezamenlijke muzikale reis begon kort na hun ontmoeting en al snel werden ze met hun nieuwe band opgemerkt in binnen- en buitenland. Als drijvende kracht achter projecten zoals Les Bottines Artistiques, EmBRUN, Triple-X & Phlox, hadden ze al heel wat ervaring opgedaan in het internationale circuit. Met Airboxes leidde hun muzikale reis hen naar enkele van Europa's meest prestigieuze festivals, waaronder Entrudanças in Portugal, Dranouter Festival & Boombalfestival in België, CaDansa in Nederland... om er maar een paar te noemen. In 2017 bundelden Bert en Guus officieel hun krachten om Airboxes te vormen, een muzikaal project dat hun diepe liefde voor het accordeon viert en de grenzen van traditionele accordeonmuziek overschrijdt.\nMet het nieuwe, tweede album \"Confluence\" bereiken Bert en Guus nieuwe hoogten. Dit album, verrijkt met toevoegingen van bandoneon, piano en accordina, weerspiegelt de voortdurende evolutie en creativiteit van het duo. Airboxes neemt het publiek mee op hun voortdurende muzikale ontdekkingsreis, waarbij de magie van akoestische instrumenten en de grenzeloze creativiteit van Bert en Guus samenkomen voor een onvergetelijke luisterervaring.\n\n\nWat is Balfolk?\nBalfolk 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 Kapel\nDe 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-met-airboxes/"],"start":"2024-11-15T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-15T23:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Groningen","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Airboxes"],"price":"€15","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Beginners Workshop","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/3373318992969815/3373319002969814/"],"start":"2024-11-15T19:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-15T20:30:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Machynlleth","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"£5","organisation":"Mach Balfolk","source":"events/uk/machynlleth.yaml"},{"name":"BACDS Fall Frolick","details":"The Bay Area Country Dance Society Presents\nFall Frolick\nA predominantly English Country Dance Weekend at The Bishop’s Ranch in Healdsburg, CA \nEnglish Country Dance Luminaries Brad Foster, David Newitt, and Anna Rain! \nKaren Axelrod & Ben Schreiber offering a musician’s track, plus Audrey Jaber, Christopher Jacoby, Shira Kammen, Jim Oakden, & Chip Prince.

Vincent Gaffet en Diego Meymarian, zangers en multi-instrumentalisten, bieden een euforisch bal dat originele creaties mengt met een inventieve herinterpretatie van het populaire repertoire. De twee muzikanten wisselen vrolijk van accordeon naar tamboerijn, van viool naar banjo om gebeitelde, springerige, romantische kleine epossen af te leveren die een terugkeer zijn naar traditionele muziek zonder deel uit te maken van het verleden, of de hedendaagse mode. Een pop- en akoestisch universum, met ondeugende teksten op melodieën die je snel oppikt. Van scottish tot polka, van wals tot Noirmoutier branle, bal Tralala is een folkloristische reis langs de 4 hoeken van Europa. Het duo deelt hun honger naar vocale harmonieën, nieuwe geluiden en de ritmische, dansbare poëzie van de Franse taal. Een reeks zangerige woorden verrijkt met meer exotische klanken: Italiaans, Creools en Romaans.\n\nHet Belgische duo Naragonia brengt eigenzinnige balfolkmuziek met een verfijnde stevige energie. Toon van Mierlo is een muzikale duizendpoot en bespeelt o.a. uilleann pipes, Franse doedelzak, klarinet, sopraansaxofoon en diatonisch accordeon. Pascale Rubens neemt zowel viool als diatonisch accordeon ter hand.\n\nEr is een workshop voor het bal: Guide to get lost\nProgramma\nLet op: Bal en workshop beginnen later dan gebruikelijk!\n\n12:30 – Workshop\n15:30 – Einde Workshop\n16:00 – Inloop voor het bal\n16:30 – Tralala Lovers\n18:30 – Potluck\n19:45 – Naragonia\n21:45 – Eind bal\nTickets, Tarieven en Voorwaarden\nJe kan vooraf een kaartje kopen via de grote knop 'Koop direct een kaartje' bovenaan deze pagina.\n\nJe kan tickets kopen voor alleen het Bal, een Combiticket voor Bal + de Workshop vooraf, of een los ticket voor de Workshop.\n\nOm het bal toegangkelijk te houden zijn er meerdere tarieven: Korting voor dansers die het krap heben, Normaal voor het gangbare ticket, en Fair-Trade voor dansers die willen bijdragen aan eerlijke vergoedingen voor docenten en muzikanten.\n\n\n\n\nKorting\nNormaal\nFair-Trade\n\n\n\n\nBal\n€15\n€20\n€25\n\n\nBal + Workshop\n€30\n€38\n€45\n\n\nWorkshop\n€20\n€23\n€25\n\n\n\nBij het doen van een bestelling moet je akkoord gaan met het privacybeleid en de verkoopvoorwaarden.\n\nLet op! Als je van tevoren geen kaartje hebt besteld, betaal je contant of per QR code (iDeal, Bancontact) aan de kassa bij de deur. Later in de avond verplaatst de kassa naar de bar. Bij ons kun je helaas niet pinnen.\nFair Trade\nVind jij het belangrijk dat docenten en muzikanten eerlijk betaald worden? Wil je dat Balfolk Utrecht kwaliteit levert? Neem dan Fair Trade! Want, goede docenten en muzikanten verdienen meer dan basic theebiscuits bij hun koffie. Verleid ze naar onze events met galettes. Daarom Fair Trade. :)\nEten en Drinken\nWe hebben een garderobe waar je je spullen kunt achterlaten. Laat je spullen niet op de banken in de zaal liggen.\n\nEr is een Potluck na de eerste band: we zetten een aantal tafels in het midden van de zaal met labetjes: vegetarisch, vegan, vis en niet-vis vlees. Hier onstaat dan een buffet van al het lekkere eten dat door deelnemers is meegenomen - wat neem jij mee? Aangezien er balfolkies zijn met allergieën (noten, gluten, lactose, garnalen etc.) is het fijn als je een ingrediëntenlijstje bij je eten wil zetten.\n\nVergeet niet je eigen bord, bestek en opscheplepels mee te nemen, die zijn namelijk niet aanwezig in de Moira. En het is lief als je na de potluck je eigen afval opruimt en/of weggooit; we zorgen voor een aantal vuilnisbakken.\n\nDe Moira heeft een bar waar je drankjes kunt bestellen.\nRichtlijnen\nWij willen graag dat iedereen bij Balfolk zich vrij voelt om zichzelf te zijn en zich veilig voelt om aan te geven wat ze nodig hebben. We vinden het daarom belangrijk dat iedereen die naar onze bals komt op de hoogte is van een aantal richtlijnen waar we ons aan houden. Zo maken we de community voor iedereen zo veilig en fijn mogelijk. De richtlijnen voor onze bals: Dansrichtlijnen.\nAlle balfolkevenementen die je op balfolk.nl kunt vinden, moeten zich in principe aan deze algemene richtlijnen houden.\nLocatie\nHet bal vindt plaats in de Moira, een fijne zaal in het centrum van Utrecht. Het adres is Wolvenstraat 10 (aan het einde van de Plompetorengracht). Je moet de blauwe deur hebben aan de rechterkant. Dan kom je via de trap naar beneden in de zaal.\n\n\n\n** English **\n\n\n\nYou can order your tickets via the big button labelled 'Koop direct een kaartje' at the top of this page.\n\nThe Tralala Lovers are injecting an explosive energy into the vast gallery of traditional dance music. Vincent Gaffet and Diego Meymarian, singers and multi-instrumentalists, offer a euphoric ball that mixes original creations with an inventive reinterpretation of the popular repertoire. The two musicians joyfully switch from accordion to tambourine, from violin to banjo to deliver chiselled, bouncy, romantic little epics that are a return to traditional music, while being neither part of the past, nor any particular current fashion. A pop and acoustic universe, with mischievous lyrics to tunes you'll quickly pick up. From scottish to polka, waltz to Noirmoutier branle, bal Tralala is a folk journey that takes in the 4 corners of Europe. The duo share their appetite for vocal harmonies, new sounds and the rhythmic, danceable poetry of the French language. A range of lilting words enriched by more exotic sounds: Italian, Creole and Romany.\n\nBelgian duo Naragonia performs quirky balfolk music with a refined solid energy. Toon van Mierlo is a musical jack-of-all-trades that plays (among others) uilleann pipes, French bagpipes, clarinet, soprano saxophone and diatonic accordion. Pascale Rubens takes up both violin and diatonic accordion.\n\nThere is a workshop before the ball: Guide to get lost\nProgramme\nPlease Note: The ball and workshop start later than usual.\n\n12:30 – Workshop\n15:30 – End of Workshop\n16:00 – Doors open for the ball\n16:30 – Tralala Lovers\n18:30 – Potluck\n19:45 – Naragonia\n21:45 – End of bal\nTickets, Prices and Conditions\nYou can buy a ticket in advance by clicking the big button labelled 'Koop direct een kaartje' at the top of this page.\n\nYou can order tickets for just the Ball, a Combination ticket for the Ball + the Workshop before the ball, or a ticket for just the Workshop.\n\nTo keep the ball accessible, we have multiple price options: Korting (Discount) for dancers that are tight on money, Normaal for the regular ticket, and Fair-Trade for dancers that want to contribute to fair compenstaion for teachers and musicians.\n\n\n\n\nKorting\nNormaal\nFair-Trade\n\n\nBal\n€15\n€20\n€25\n\n\nBal + Workshop\n€30\n€38\n€45\n\n\nWorkshop\n€20\n€23\n€25\n\n\n\nTo order a ticket you must agree to our privacy policy and registration conditions.\n\nNB! If you have not gotten a ticket in advanced, you can pay for one by cash or by QR code (iDeal, Bancontact) at the door. Later in the evening, we will move the cash register to the bar. If you do not have cash with you, there is an ATM at Albert Heijn on Voorstraat. Unfortunately, we cannot offer the option to pay by pin.\nFair Trade\nDo you think it is important that teachers and musicians are paid fairly?Do you want Balfolk Utrecht to deliver quality? Then payFair Trade! Because, good teachers and musicians deserve more than basic tea biscuits with their coffee. Seduce them to come to our events with galettes. Choose Fair Trade :)\nFood and Drinks\nWe have a cloakroom where you can leave your belogings. Please do not leave them on the couches near the dancing floor.\n\nThere will be a potlock in the evening: we will put a number of tabels in the middle of the room labelled vegetarion, vegan, fish and non-fish meat. Here we'll make a buffet of all sorts of delicious food brought by participants - what are you bringing? Since there are balfolkies with allergies (e.g. nuts, gluten, lactose, shrimp, etcetera), we would appreciate it if you could list the ingredients of your dish.\n\nPlease make sure to bring your own plate, cutlery and serving spoon, as we don't have any of those at the Moira. Afterwards, it would be nice if you could clean up and / or throw out your own waste after the potluck.\n\nThe Moira has a bar where you can order drinks.\nGuidelines\nWe want everyone at Balfolk to feel free to be themselves and feel safe to express their needs. We therefore think it is important that everyone who comes to our balls is aware of a number of guidelines that we adhere to. In this way we make the community as safe and pleasant as possible for everyone. The guidelines for our balls: Guidelines.\nIn principle, all balfolk events that you can find on balfolk.nl must adhere to these general guidelines.\nLocation\nThe ball takes place in the Moira, a nice hall in the center of Utrecht. The address is Wolvenstraat 10 (at the end of Plompetorengracht). Take the blue door on the right and go down the stairs into the hall.","links":["https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-moira-bal-met-tralala-lovers-en-naragonia/","https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/balfolk-moira-workshop-guide-to-get-lost/"],"start":"2024-11-16T12:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-16T21:45:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Utrecht","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia","Tralala Lovers"],"price":"€15-€45","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Body, Comfort & Music","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/body%20-comfort-&-music/1079/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2418","https://www.facebook.com/events/488944594109462"],"start":"2024-11-16T13:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-16T18:15:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€20-€55","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Winter Workshops and Bal","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/443065848753260/","https://wegottickets.com/event/632676"],"start":"2024-11-16T13:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-17T16:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Kinnersley","styles":["balfolk","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Oscina"],"price":"£25.30","organisation":"Rondez Vous","source":"events/uk/chester.yaml"},{"name":"Le P'tit Bal du Harby","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/7061711340601844/","https://www.facebook.com/events/2663174960548747/","https://pasdlayau.be/evenement/stage-et-bal-folk-avec-shillelagh/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2279"],"start":"2024-11-16T16:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-11-16T22:00:00+02:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Quevaucamps","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Shillelagh"],"price":"€10-€25","organisation":"Pas d'La Yau","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Cenizas Residency","links":["https://folquemadrid.wixsite.com/cenizas/the-residency","https://www.facebook.com/events/388493894081706/"],"start":"2024-11-16T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-22T19:00:00+01:00","country":"Spain","city":"Cercedilla","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€250-€520","organisation":"Folqué Madrid","source":"events/spain/folquemadrid.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Folk","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/913315357194299/"],"start":"2024-11-16T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T00:00:00+01:00","country":"France","city":"La Chaux","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Folkadanse"],"organisation":"balachaux","source":"events/france/la_chaux.yaml"},{"name":"Bal @ Cellule","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/bal-aur%C3%A9lie-dorz%C3%A9e-&-tom-theuns-cellule/1050/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2393","https://www.facebook.com/events/872798868077775"],"start":"2024-11-16T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T01:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aurélie Dorzée & Tom Theuns"],"price":"€14-€22","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw-asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folkbal","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/bal-aur%C3%A9lie-dorz%C3%A9e-&-tom-theuns-cellule/1050/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2460","https://www.facebook.com/events/872798868077775/"],"start":"2024-11-16T20:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T01:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Aurélie Dorzée & Tom Theuns"],"price":"€14-€22","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance, Inspired by Tango","details":"Course","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/folk-dance%20-inspired-by-tango/1080/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2421","https://www.facebook.com/events/1065089974996933"],"start":"2024-11-17T13:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T18:15:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"€20-€55","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/balfolk-lutherkirche-5"],"start":"2024-11-17T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T20:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€13-€15","organisation":"BalFolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Social dance in Mezrab","details":"Balfolk op zondag\nDe Mezrab host iedere derde zondag van de maand het leukste Balfolkfeestje van Amsterdam.

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://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/social-dance-in-mezrab-met-noiranomis-en-pfm/"],"start":"2024-11-17T16:15:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Amsterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Duo Baftig","Noiranomis"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Bal De La Cabane Du Bout Du Monde","details":"Ball","links":["http://chti-folkeux.chez-alice.fr/indexB.htm","https://lesentetes.com/tralala-lovers/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2102"],"start":"2024-11-17T16:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-17T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Watermaal-Bosvoorde","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Tralala Lovers"],"organisation":null,"source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Folk Dance Course","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/327091070425645/327091080425644/"],"start":"2024-11-18T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-18T22:30:00+01:00","country":"Italy","city":"Milan","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"organisation":"La Scighera","source":"events/italy/milan.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk Partner Dances","details":"Weekly class.

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 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.

Het is niet nodig om deze gevolgd te hebben om mee te kunnen komen. Het heeft wel een groot voordeel. We gaan namelijk nog verder. We zullen meer instructies behandelen en ook focussen op deze al dansend opvolgen i.p.v. dansen veelvuldig herhalen. Aan het einde is er waarschijnlijk wel tijd om een aantal dansen te herhalen.\n\nLET OP! Omdat deze dansen allemaal vanuit dezelfde basis werken, zal naarmate de avond vordert het aantal instructies en de complexiteit toenemen.

Check the new Bristol Clean Air Zone information carefully, as this may effect you.\n\nWe have cheese in the break, along with tea, coffee and cordial. You are welcome to bring your own things. Please don't bring alcohol, as this is the venue rule.\n\nBristol Contra is committed to not having the cost of a dance be a hindrance to anyone attending, and have a sliding pay scale.\n\nSuggested prices available on the door:\nUnwaged £6\nWaged £10\nSupporters Ticket £15.\nThe new supporters ticket is a fair representation of what the event costs to run, and supports fair fees for the Band and Caller. It is entirely voluntary.\n\nSo bring your smiles and your joy and come join us for amazing social dancing.

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 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-319-rotterdam-wals-ballroom-in-de-balfolk/"],"start":"2024-11-28T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Tanzlernabend","details":"Lernabend im Quäker-Nachbarschaftsheim","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/tanzlernabend-7"],"start":"2024-11-28T19:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-28T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":false,"price":"donation","organisation":"Balfolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/393205663622872/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm3EpPHpg7wp7nDR6YzPEUkybQT6FDxJrhmhSrVUIjVubz5Q/viewform"],"start":"2024-11-28T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-11-28T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Breaking Up Thanksgiving","links":["https://www.breakingupthanksgiving.com/"],"start_date":"2024-11-29","end_date":"2024-12-01","country":"USA","state":"IL","city":"Evanston","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Free Bal","details":"Ball","links":["https://frissefolk.be/en/event-en/free-ball-naragonia/1094/","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2466","https://www.facebook.com/events/1284340266250756"],"start":"2024-11-29T18:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-29T21:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Brussels","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Naragonia"],"price":"free","organisation":"Frisse Folk Vzw/asbl","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"CaBal","details":"Ball","links":["https://www.cabalfolk.be","https://folkbalbende.be/event/2444","https://www.facebook.com/events/1445842422740829/"],"start":"2024-11-29T19:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-11-30T00:00:00+01:00","country":"Belgium","city":"Kortrijk","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Moore & Moss","Rémi Geffroy"],"price":"€16-€18","organisation":"CaBal","source":"events/belgium/folkbalbende.yaml"},{"name":"Foute balfolk","details":"Natuurlijk bestaat er geen foute balfolk, maar wel balfolk op niet balfolk-muziek.

Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz loopjes klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest, CaDansa en Le Son Continu. Naast bals speelde Paracetamol een concerttour langs karakteristieke kerkjes in Noord Nederland. Inmiddels heeft Paracetamol een debuutalbum vol eigen composities.

Havok, Die ZWEI und Ute+Michael spielen den längsten Bal Folk, den die Stadt je erlebt hat!  Die 2  Die ZWEI – das bedeutet einen intensiven musikalischen Dialog zwischen Gitarre und Klarinette. Das Sichzuspielen und Verwandeln, Verschlingen und wieder Lösen der Stimmen und Klangfarben, die Verzahnung in den Rhythmen des Bal Folk. Ein Spiel im eigentlichen Sinn. Zwiegespräche, die jedes Mal neu sind und auf dem Tanzboden fortgesetzt werden wollen.  Eckart Dähnert: Klarinette  Michael Müller: Gitarre  HavoK  HavoK – Haus von Klaus – tanzen gern. Sehr gern. Am liebsten zu Musik, die gefühlvoll und kraftvoll zugleich ist, bei der die Mischung von Paar- und Reihentänzen stimmt, Eigenkompositionen nicht verkopft klingen, sondern das Zeug zum Ohrwurm haben. Musik, die vom Ohr übers Herz direkt in die Beine geht.  Und deswegen spielen sie selber solche Musik. Einfach. Schöne Musik.  Thomas Raisch: Klarinette  Ulrike Alles: Diatonisches Akkordeon  Ute+Michael. Mit ihrer klaren ausdrucksstarken schnörkellosen Stimme und dem besonderen Verständnis von Sprach- und Tanzrhythmus singt Ute Visser die traditionellen Tanzlieder auf besonders mitreißende Art. Die tragischen, romantischen, fröhlichen oder auch banalen Texte werden vor allem durch Ute Vissers besondere Interpretation zu bewegenden Geschichten. Begleitet wird sie von Michael Müller an der Gitarre.     Manesse Hopp  Manesse Hopp spielt europäische Folk-Musik, die in die Beine geht. Und es darf getanzt werden, nach Lust und Laune,  zu Kreis-, Reihen- oder Paartänzen. Die 7-köpfige Band aus Marburg liebt sowohl fetzige als auch ruhige Stücke und sieht sowohl ihre Musik als auch die Tänze dazu als Lebensfreude pur!  Nach den Bands ist die Bühne offen für Bal Folk Session und es kann weiter getanzt werden, bis die Musik untergeht.

Enige ervaring met de wals is handig, maar niet verplicht. Deze les is mooi te combineren met de les van 2 weken hiervoor voor de basis van de wals, maar beide lessen zijn los van elkaar te volgen.\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.

Now, having toured with with some of the biggest and brightest acts in the British folk scene, they reconvene to perform as duo.\nTheir second record (released 2020) is set to further unite the deep and resolute harmony of Moss’s accordion with the texture and flow of Moore’s viola; with droning, whirring, sparkling layers of electro-acoustic grit provoking a subtle complexity of palette. Whilst intrinsically borrowing from English and other European traditional dance form, sonically Moore and Moss have their heads firmly in the present, understanding the values of contemporary music and art making. The distinct pulse and intuition of trad-music haunts their playing as they continue to quietly reconsider English instrumental music, listening and responding to the world around them as much as their musical ancestors.\nTom Moore | Archie Moss (tommoorearchiemoss.com)\n\nWat is Balfolk?\nBalfolk 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.\nDe Kapel\nDe kapel is te vinden als je naar het Oude RKZ (ORKZ) komt in de Emmastraat 15 in Groningen.

Hoor je ook wel eens een nummer op de radio waar je een scottisch op zou kunnen dansen terwijl het eigenlijk geen balfolkmuziek is? Deze avond is speciaal om te dansen op muziek die niet geschreven is voor balfolk. Dit doen we onder begeleiding van Noelia. Vergeet je kerstmuts niet!\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 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-322-rotterdam-kerst-foute-balfolk/"],"start":"2024-12-19T18:30:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-19T22:00:00+01:00","country":"Netherlands","city":"Rotterdam","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€6","organisation":"balfolk.nl","source":"events/netherlands/balfolk_nl.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk and Trad Dance","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/896305529020411/","https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm3EpPHpg7wp7nDR6YzPEUkybQT6FDxJrhmhSrVUIjVubz5Q/viewform"],"start":"2024-12-19T20:30:00+02:00","end":"2024-12-19T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€12","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Bal Boeuf","links":["https://www.balfolk-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/bal-boeuf"],"start":"2024-12-20T16:00:00+01:00","end":"2024-12-20T20:00:00+01:00","country":"Germany","city":"Cologne","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€13-€15","organisation":"BalFolk Köln","source":"events/germany/cologne.yaml"},{"name":"Joint Christmas Twmp","links":["https://aberaced.wordpress.com/calendar/"],"start":"2024-12-20T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-12-20T23:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Aberystwyth","styles":["irish-set","balfolk","ecd","contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"callers":["Hywel Jones","Nigel Hardy","Keith Ffloyd","Ian Hughes","John Blanchfield"],"price":"£2","organisation":"AberACED","source":"events/uk/aberystwyth.yaml"},{"name":"Balfolk before Christmas","details":"This time you will be taught by Augustas and the workshop will be about: Variations in Mazurka","links":["https://www.facebook.com/events/936888728272345/","https://tickets.paysera.com/en/event/prieskaledine-balfolk-vakarone"],"start":"2024-12-21T18:00:00+02:00","end":"2024-12-21T23:00:00+02:00","country":"Lithuania","city":"Vilnius","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"€5-€20","organisation":"Šok, mėgaukis ir dalinkis","source":"events/lithuania/vilnius.yaml"},{"name":"Kerstbal","details":"In Rotterdam wordt kerst feestelijk gevierd met een Kerstbal op onze vaste stek in Cuartito Azul op zaterdag 21 december.

Mara Menzel ist mit Bal Folk aufgewachsen – Tanzworkshops mit ihrer Beteiligung sind europaweit von Boombal bis Cadansa ein Highlight. Und diese tänzerische Erfahrung spiegelt sich in jedem Ton ihres gefühlvollen, ungeheuer tänzerischen Akkordeonspiels wieder. Abwechslungsreich, atmend, mit viel Herz.  Josefine Schlät hat mit dem Studium der Improvisation ihr Geigenspiel nicht nur professionalisiert sondern ihm auch eine betörende Leichtigkeit und Eleganz hinzugefügt. Inspiriert durch ihr begeistertes Bal Folk Tanzen versprühen die feinen und immer wieder neuen Verzierungen und Variationen Grapelli-like eine unglaubliche Freude und Schönheit.  Jede alleine könnte einen schönen Bal spielen – aber gemeinsam ergibt sich eine neue Qualität: Geige und Akkordeon fließen zusammen zu einer Einheit von Klang, Tanz, Glück. Wenn sie dann noch manchmal singen, wird es besonders schön. Die Stücke sind abwechslungsreich – vom energetisch schwungvollen Schottisch oder Cercle bis zur romantisch melancholischen Mazurka ist alles dabei. Dabei bewegt sich die Musik, entwickelt sich und gibt immer wieder neue tänzerische Impulse.

Meeslepende mazurka's, golvende gavottes, drijvende bourrées, maar ook een zeldzame grabbelton en de eerste nieuwe bravade sinds 1657. Echo’s van Ierse jigs, metal klassiekers, Hongaarse folk en jazz loopjes klinken uit vorige muzikale levens door in hun dansmuziek. Ze trekken van donkere café’s, langs dansvloeren naar festivals als Castlefest, CaDansa en Le Son Continu. Naast bals speelde Paracetamol een concerttour langs karakteristieke kerkjes in Noord Nederland. Inmiddels heeft Paracetamol een debuutalbum vol eigen composities.

De band die komt spelen is Geronimo.\n\nGeronimo is het soloproject van gitarist Jeroen Geerinck, bekend van onder andere Snaarmaarwaar en Hot Griselda. Hij is een muzikant en producer die actief is in de Belgische folkscene. Hij is vooral bekend vanwege de flinke hoeveelheid energie die hij brengt in het geluid van de bands waar hij in speelt. Bovendien heeft hij ruimschoots ervaring in het creëren van folkalbums en is hij altijd op zoek naar nieuwe smaken en muzikale interpretaties. Geronimo is voor hem een soort speeltuin waar hij het experiment van het mixen van genres en muziek nog verder kan brengen, waar hij voor zichzelf geen  compromissen hoeft te sluiten en alle grenzen kan opzoeken en verkennen.\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.

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.

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'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).

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.
