Join us to have fun while learning or improving your dancing skills in the traditional Bal Folk – French and Breton – dances. The Bal Folk tradition is a living one and creates a magical, community spirit.
French dances are romantic, whirly and twirly and mostly in couples. Breton dances are earthy, trancey and stompy, and mainly in circles and spirals. The music is gorgeous.
This workshop will get you familiar with the steps, a proper chance to dance, and confident to take part in any Bals. It's suitable for beginners and intermediate.
Leading the workshop are Selena Mara and Josh Zatz. We've been into this tradition for nearly 30 years and love it ! We're experienced dance teachers.
All welcome. Come as singles, couples, or groups. We’ll match you up with others when needed.
We aim to teach a variety of French and Breton dances. We'll be more specific nearer the time.
Tickets are £12 + fees. Under 13's free. Teens £6.
