An evening of French and European folk dancing (balfolk), with an introductory workshop followed by social dancing.

From the winding chain dances of Brittany to the lively bourrées of central France, French folk dancing has a rich variety of regional traditions. These sit alongside the waltzes, mazurkas, schottisches and other partner dances that have become favourites of the wider European balfolk scene.

We’ll begin with an introduction to some of the dances before opening up the floor for the rest of the evening. Beginners and experienced dancers are equally welcome, and there’s no need to bring a partner.
