Wie viele von uns haben sich schon in den Tanz eingeklinkt und sind nach ein paar Takten ganz verstört wieder aus dem Tanz ausgestiegen! In diesem Workshop werden wir diesen besonderen Tanz Schritt für Schritt lernen und auch die eine oder andere Variation entdecken. Aber hauptsächlich möchte Elena euch das ganz einzigartige Gefühl vermitteln, das aufkommt, wenn alle zu herzzerreißend schöner Musik in der Kette im Gleichschritt schwingen. Zur Abwechslung und Auflockerung werden wir den Paar-Rondeau (Rondeau en couple) üben und dabei unseren Grundschritt, Körperhaltung und Stil ein bisschen „aufputzen“. Wir nehmen auch die richtige Bewegung aller Tanzenden im Raum, damit alle Tanzpaare in einem schönen „Flow“ bleiben und werden schließlich typische und schöne Variationen einbauen. Tanzniveau: Der Kurs ist eher für Tänzer*innen mit Erfahrung geeignet, aber auch für sehr motivierte Anfänger*innen, die den Branle d’Ossau zum ersten Mal entdecken möchten. Der Vorteil an diesen Tänzen ist, dass jede*r seinem/ihrem eigenen Lernrhythmus folgen kann. Zur Tanzmeisterin: Elena Leibbrand begann 2011 mit großer Begeisterung in Brüssel BalFolk-Tänze weiterzugeben. Im Mai 2018 gründete sie ihre eigene Tanzschule EléDanse und bietet seitdem Kurse, Workshops, Bälle und Veranstaltungen aller Art an. Sie hat eine große Liebe zu Bourrées, Walzern und Tänzen aus dem im Südwesten Frankreichs und sie liebt den Ball, ob Fin-de-Siècle, Folk oder Musette. Elena bringt mit viel Können und Humor den Tanzenden die traditionellen Tänze nahe und reißt alle mit.""" links = ["https://spreefolk.de/events/workshopelena"] start = "2022-10-15T11:00:00+02:00" end = "2022-10-16T15:00:00+02:00" country = "Germany" city = "Berlin" styles = ["balfolk"] workshop = true social = false price = "€31" organisation = "Spreefolk eV" source = "events/germany/spreefolk.yaml" [[events]] name = "CaDansa" details = "A wonderful balfolk festival full of crazy bands, funny games, beautiful connections, good coffee, local beers, and a whole lot of dancing!" links = ["https://www.cadansa.nl/", "https://www.balfolk.nl/agenda/cadansa-2022/", "https://www.facebook.com/events/1017795078982635/"] start = "2022-10-20T18:00:00+02:00" end = "2022-10-23T19:00:00+02:00" country = "Netherlands" city = "Steenwijk" styles = ["balfolk"] workshop = true social = true bands = ["Bargainatt", "DiaTon", "Duo du Balcon", "Duo Rodriguez-Franceschini", "Fahrenheit", "Hialøsa", "Laouen", "Loogaroo", "Mr Folxlide", "Noiranomis", "Ti Duo", "Tref", "Trio Baladins", "Variomatic", "Wim te Groen"] price = "€96.50-€107.50" organisation = "CaDansa" source = "events/netherlands/cadansa.yaml" [[events]] name = "Bal Folk Dance Weekend" links = ["https://folkschool.configio.com/pd/1212/bal-folk-dance-weekend"] start_date = "2022-10-21" end_date = "2022-10-23" country = "USA" state = "NC" city = "Brasstown" styles = ["balfolk"] workshop = true social = true bands = ["Rachel Bell", "Becky Tracy", "Susan Kevra"] price = "$233" organisation = "John C.

Heb je je ooit afgevraagd \"Wie ben ik als danser en wie zou ik willen zijn?\" Deze intensive is een danservaring die (ervaren) dansers ertoe leidt hun volledige potentieel te bereiken om hun dans te ontwikkelen en dieper te duiken in beweging, lichaamscontrole en co-creatie (improvisatie). MAX. AANTAL PLAATSEN: 20 TAAL: Nederlands DUUR: 2,5 dag (vrijdag 16.00 uur - zondag 20.00 uur) AANMELDEN: dancingbodies 𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelprocessen aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. 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. 𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻: Biomechanica 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… 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: 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. Belangrijk is dus dat je bij deelname open staat voor zelfontwikkeling. Er wordt gewerkt met een beperkte groepsgrootte zodat er ruimte is voor voldoende persoonlijke aandacht van de docent en wisselen in de groep zodat we vooral ook van elkaar kunnen leren, waarbij de deelnemers ook zelf aangeven waar ze op willen ontwikkelen.

En dat vieren met twee dagen feest en zes bands. Deze dagen spelen Hot Griselda, EmBRUN, Wouter Kuyper, Les Bottines Artistiques, Two Catch a Raindrop en Naragonia.  Dans je mee? Niet vergeten: op woensdag hebben we pre-party tijdens Balfolk Café Nijmegen met Nebel (NL/ Be) als opwarmer. Het allereerste Nijmeegse bal vond plaats in 2007, in Café Trianon.  Het smaakte naar meer en we werden opgenomen door Stichting Vlaams Cultureel Kwartier (VCK), onder welke vlag we tot 2019 bals organiseerden. Eerst nog in het eigen pand van het VCK, op de zolder van het Vlaams Arsenaal. We hadden een eigen sleutel en de jamsessie na afloop van een bal mocht rustig tot 4 uur 's nachts duren. Toen het VCK deze ruimte in 2013 afstootte gingen we verder: eerst bals in tangosalon El Corte, vanaf 2015 in de Brebl en Het Danslokaal op het Honigcomplex. In de periode van 2017 tot 2020 organiseerden we bals in het Kolpinghuis. Sinds 2017 organiseren we ook maandelijks bals samen met Kees van Café the Shuffle. Daar vieren we dan ook graag al deze dansende jaren met dit tweedaagse balfolk feest. Doe je mee?

𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelprocessen aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. 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. 𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻: Biomechanica 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… 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: 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. Belangrijk is dus dat je bij deelname open staat voor zelfontwikkeling. Er wordt gewerkt met een beperkte groepsgrootte zodat er ruimte is voor voldoende persoonlijke aandacht van de docent en wisselen in de groep zodat we vooral ook van elkaar kunnen leren, waarbij de deelnemers ook zelf aangeven waar ze op willen ontwikkelen.

no-ending process of dancing, learning, and being together. 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 \r We would love to see how this festival becomes a tradition and connects Bal folk dancers from all over Europe.\r Behind the name:\r \r Ad infinitum :\r 1. meaning - without end or limit\r 2. 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 \r Ballo/ball :\r 1. 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 2. 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 Program and other info later this year.\r \r Dance is energy – Dance is freedom!\r \r Notice for Event Participants:\r Photography and Videography Consent: As an attendee, you may be included in photographs and video recordings captured during the event.

Heb je je ooit afgevraagd \"Wie ben ik als danser en wie zou ik willen zijn?\" Deze intensive is een danservaring die (ervaren) dansers ertoe leidt hun volledige potentieel te bereiken om hun dans te ontwikkelen en dieper te duiken in beweging, lichaamscontrole en co-creatie (improvisatie). Na een succesvolle editie in 2022 en 2023, komt er een nieuwe editie eind dit jaar. MAX. AANTAL PLAATSEN: 16 TAAL: Nederlands DUUR: 2,5 dag AANMELDEN: link volgt 𝗪𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Een weekend op een besloten locatie om je te verdiepen in dans, je eigen lichaam en een ontwikkelproces aan te gaan met behulp van gespecialiseerde workshops. 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. 𝗗𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴𝗲𝗻: Biomechanica 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… 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: 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. Belangrijk is dus dat je bij deelname open staat voor zelfontwikkeling. Er wordt gewerkt met een beperkte groepsgrootte zodat er ruimte is voor voldoende persoonlijke aandacht van de docent en wisselen in de groep zodat we vooral ook van elkaar kunnen leren, waarbij de deelnemers ook zelf aangeven waar ze op willen ontwikkelen.
