Social Dance: Balfolk in Mezrab with Beat Bouet Trio
Balfolk. Best described as easy and fun Western European music and dance. You should just try it. It’s based on traditional dances, from French weddings, brought here as nice parties with live music. The easy dances are in couple or in the group, and you often change partners, everybody dances with everybody (no matter of what age, background, etc.)
