# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Brattleboro Bal Folk: Intro Session & Dance Party
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 May, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Sun, 18 May, 2025 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: 6-6:40 intro session/beginner's session
6:45-9 bal (minimal teaching)

Fun, accessible French and European traditional dances. 
No experience or partner necessary.

Don't be intimidated by the "minimal teaching" label .... come to the intro session and learn the basics, and even if you can't make it to the intro session, we welcome everyone to jump in and figure it out during the bal! At these dances in France, people just kind of look around and see what other people are doing and if they can't figure it out, they make it up! We're all there to have a good time! Please join us!

Live music & dance instruction by Eloise & Co.
Becky Tracy, fiddle
Rachel Bell, accordion

Suggested donation sliding scale $12-$25

Dances range from beautiful to raucous. Even if you’ve never tried anything like this before, come on over! Feel free to listen and watch from the sidelines or jump in. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, and the crowd has a reputation for being welcoming, eager  to draw newcomers into the fun. We will continue to offer variations and new dances to keep the experienced dancers engaged!

Please bring a clean pair of shoes to change into, or clean your shoes off thoroughly once you get inside, before you step onto the dance floor. We want to protect that beautiful wood floor!

Share our videos with friends to whet their appetite!
