We've been having SO much fun at these lively, joyful dances, and we'd love for you to join us!Jan is a special celebration day with cake and festivities! Eloise & Co. is recording a new CD with Quebecois pianist Rachel Aucoin. The CD will be available on Kickstarter for pre-order on Jan 20, so we thought it would be fun to gather on Jan 19 and celebrate! We're hoping you'll come along with us on the Kickstarter and recording journey!
What is bal folk?
Fun, accessible French and European traditional dances.

Please bring a clean pair of shoes to change into, or clean your shoes off thoroughly once you get inside, before you step onto the dance floor. We want to protect that beautiful wood floor!
Suggested donation sliding scale $12-$25
Dances range from beautiful to raucous. Even if you’ve never tried anything like this before, come on over! Feel free to listen and watch from the sidelines or jump in. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, and the crowd has a reputation for being welcoming, eager to draw newcomers into the fun. We will continue to offer variations and new dances to keep the experienced dancers engaged!
Share our video with friends to whet their appetite!
Masks are welcome but not required. Please stay home if you feel ill or are testing positive for Covid-19.
Mark your calendars for:
Feb: No bal folk this month! Eloise & Co. is recording an album with Rachel Aucoin, so we'll be dedicating the month to that! Stay tuned to see how you can get involved with the project!
