Vinta – Bal Folk workshop and performance in partnership with Guelph Jazz Festival
September 15 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Guelph Civic Museum partners with the Guelph Jazz Festival to present a unique opportunity for the community to engage in a folk dance workshop. Join us for a free “Bal Folk” dance workshop hosted by Vinta at 1 PM, followed by a captivating ‘Bal’ performance at 2:15 PM.
“Bal Folk” is community social folk dancing to live music, accessible to complete beginners—no experience or partner necessary. It features Western European folk dancing with a focus on various regional dances from France. Experience group dances that resemble square dancing or contra dancing, dances in long snakey lines from Brittany (the Celtic region of France), and partner dances like the waltz and polka.
Join us for an afternoon of dance, music, and community connection!
