Imagine Balfolk as a vibrant fusion of centuries-old European dance traditions and modern sensibilities. (and awesome music)
I have to say the floor at Raumati south Community Hall is outstanding. Perfect for barefoot Balfolk. Musicians making the noise today, Phillips on Gurdy, Jonathon / accordion, Simon, double bass and canon, Steph on shaker, Anna’s beautiful harp and a mysterious flute lady!

What: Balfolk is a folk dance and music movement from Europe that gives new life to traditional dances. A ‘Bal Folk’ is a social dance event that brings people of all ages and walks of life together through group and partner dances to have fun and connect. It’s a friendly, social and energising space.
