Balfolk with live band: Wouter en de Draak

from intimate mazurka to rocking 'kost ar c'hoad'

Balfolk is a dance form that consists of a collection of West-European dances, both group and partner dances. Balfolk events always feature live music, creating a synergy between dancers and musicians, with having fun being more important than perfecting dance moves. You don't need a fixed partner; at a Balfolk event, you can ask anyone to dance, and anyone can invite you to dance. So come and join in!

Live music by Wouter and de Draak
Joris Alblas (guitar) and Wouter Kuyper (diatonic accordion) take the stage with a versatile mix of intimate mazurkas and lively scottisches, influenced by Irish and Breton folk music.

Workshop for beginners
Never danced Balfolk (or any dance) before? No worries! The evening kicks off with a workshop for beginners. This way, those who are new to Balfolk can get a taste of it and join in on the dance floor for the rest of the night.
