Dance Initiation for beginners

You’re all set. Full of excitement or maybe with a slightly nervous heart because you’re not yet sure how you’ll make it through a whole evening of dancing. No worries: this balfolk initiation is your first point of reference for the ball and the festival.

We’ll guide you step by step through the most common dances, and we’ll also take time to explain how things work on the dance floor: when you dance, when you don’t, and how to interact with each other. We keep it simple, accessible, and above all, fun.

After this initiation, you’ll have everything you need to join in, feel comfortable, and fully enjoy the ball and the festival.

We’ll see how far we get, with dances such as: andro, hanterdro, scottish, magic circle, jig, bourrée, and gavotte de l’Aven.
