Dance explanation
In this dance tutorial the basics of balfolk are covered so that everyone can do me. In the second half of the dance explanation, they go deeper into one dance.

What is Balfolk?
Balfolk can perhaps be compared to a tango or salsa evening, but with the music and dances from here: the dances and music that are traditionally found in Western Europe. And there’s always live music! And we always start with a dance explanation. Anyone can participate.
The Chapel
The chapel can be found if you come to the Oude RKZ (ORKZ) in the Emmastraat 15 in Groningen. When you enter, walk to the bar, and to the right of the bar is the door to the chapel.

Bart Praet
The new solo project of Bart Praet, was given the name “Dawn”. The strings of the mandola are central … They are accompanied by the emotional sound of the duduk and keys. Every instrument is put through a looping station and some effects are added. This way musical lines are interwoven to form a unity … Sometimes the sound is subdued and soft, sometimes it is sparkling and exuberant. On the menu is totally new folk music, with spicy influences from other genres. The result is a contemporary folk, based on tradition and experiences with and influences by other bands. Early 2023 Bart is releasing a first demo cd for this project. https://bartpraet.be/
