Long months of dance classes? Why not. Or have fun immediately at a balfolk ball; even if you don’t consider yourself “a dancer”. And if you do, there are also more intricate dances for you to dive into. You can spend years making those perfect.

Balfolk events are very informal and open – simply gatherings of people enjoying nice music. Many dances are danced in a circle or a chain. During some others, partners are constantly changing. And there is always someone you can ask for the couple ones.

Live music is the very heart of balfolk. What kind of music, you ask? Above all: danceable. If you like folk(ish) vibes and you are curious about how the tradition is evolving and thriving in the hands of today’s musicians, this is the place for you.
