Le Bal de Voyage
29 June 2025
Balfolk Comes to Christchurch! You are invited to a memorable evening of French/European-style dancing on Sunday 27th April.
Kate Grace from Balfolk Dunedin – recently returned from her European travels – will explain the dances and guide newcomers through an exciting of group and partner dances. You don’t need any dance experience, you don’t need a partner and it’s fine for all ages and fitness levels. There will be wonderful live music from Entrada (Scout White (violin/mandolin) and Jonathan Le Cocq (guitar)). This is your chance to move, groove, and discover a whole new world of dance.
The event kicks off with a short introductory workshop at 7 PM followed by full dancing starting at 8 PM. Tickets are $25 at the door (cash only).
Email balfolkchristchurch@gmail.com to help us plan refreshments. Dance, great music, and good company, this is one night you won’t want to miss. Irish Society Hall, 29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon.
