Balfolk dancing to live music
weekly in Toronto, Ontario
Balfolk dancing is popular social dancing from Western Europe, a recent revival of traditional, mostly French, folk dances.
Bourrées, jigues, gavotte, mazurkas, waltzes, scottishes: some partner dances, some group dances, some snakey chain dances.
They are all fun and easy to learn, you don’t need any partners or prior experience. We’ll show you how!
​
Balfolk Toronto offers:
- Drop-in, PWYC weekly dances with live musicians + music workshops on Monday evenings at the Super Wonder Gallery in the winter, in High Park in the summer
- Ticketed dances in larger spaces on special occasions!
- The annual Big Branch Festival, bringing Balfolk bands and dance teachers from Europe to Ontario every September
