Everyone dances along! In pairs, in a circle, in chains, in groups of several people, or alone. Live music, fun, joy of movement, and sociability in a special atmosphere. This doesn't sound like a dusty and rigid dance event – and it isn't. It is BAL FOLK!

BAL FOLK is one of the forms of participatory dance evenings in Germany that is spreading more and more. At BAL FOLK, the dances from the French regions are usually danced to live music, with the specific mix of dances depending on what the band plays. It's not about perfection, but about the joy of dancing – the dance of the day is practiced together at the beginning. Dancing provides a good balance to the routine of school, studies, or work. 

The dances are suitable for everyone, whether with or without dance experience, and without any competitive or performance pressure, as we know it from sports, for example. During the dances, partners are playfully swapped frequently, so nobody needs a fixed dance partner. 
People of different ages, social backgrounds, and geographical-cultural origins come together casually and dance – completely without a dress code. Everyone is invited to join in!
