We currently meet once a month (excluding July and August), and include a mix of repeated dances and 1 or 2 new dances each month, as well as a repeat of dances taught at our workshops.
Balfolk is a form of folk dancing that is very popular across Europe. Our evening will include a wide variety of dances; from the repetitive and hypnotic Breton chains, lively and intricate bourrées from central France, rhythmic energetic solo dances from the Pays Basque, couple dances and progressive dances - something for everyone.
A recent review:
"I would highly recommend Bal Feirste!
You learn regional folk dances from various parts of France in a very relaxed setting, in the company of very friendly, welcoming people from all parts, including France and NI, with a backdrop of live music and some singing too.
No need to worry if you think you can’t dance or are coming alone - you’ll be guided as you go along and finding a partner is no problem. Plus many of the dances are group dances.
Dancing with Bal Feirste is a great way to meet people, keeps you fit and makes you smile! See you at your next event!
Many thanks, Jennifer"

Getting in!
Please note that An Droichead's pedestrian gate will not be open. As you enter Cooke Street, the carpark for An Droichead is the first set of gates on the left. Entry to the building is via the carpark, from there, walk past the mobile classroom on your right, and turn right. The main red brick building will be on your left, walk straight ahead to the metal gate, and take a left.
The bal will take place on the upper floor of the main red-bricked building.

There is a carpark at the venue, if you haven't been before, turn into Cooke Street, and the carpark is the first set of open gates on the left - you will see a Bal Feirste sign just before the first mobile building on the right, walk past this building and take a right, walk straight ahead and through another gate. At this point you will see a red brick building on the left and we will be performing upstairs in this building.

All the best for now,
Annette de Bal Feirste
