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!
