Want to try something new, fun and social? Come along on Saturday, 31st January, 5-8 pm for an evening of bal-folk dancing at the Sullivan Hall in White Gum Valley. We teach all the dances on the spot, so no prior experience is necessary. Please feel free to bring a plate of nibbles to share. Children are welcome to join in!This event is entirely volunteer-run – the $15 entry fee (under 16s free) goes towards making other events like this possible.
Big thank you to Perth International Dance for helping make this event possible!
What is Bal-folk dancing, you ask? It is a very valid question. Bal-folk comes from France (literally means “folk-ball”) and is essentially a French version of an Australian bush dance. A wide variety of European dances (especially French) are enjoyed at these events: line dances, circle dances, change-partner dances, couples dances, and occasionally some solo dances. The main goal of Bal-folk dancing is to get people together to have fun, connect with other people and find community through dance. Bal-folk has slowly been spreading from France to many other countries, and we are very excited that it has now made it to Perth and is thriving!
