Join us for another Sunday afternoon mini-bal at the Isis Farmhouse, Oxford’s favourite riverside pub - with live music.
All welcome. Never danced balfolk before? We'll show you how, it's quite easy.
No charge, though buy something at the bar if you can.
Doors: 2pm
Classes: 2.15pm. Choose between:
- Newcomers class: learn two or three dances from the balfolk family.
- Focused class: work on one dance or skill.
Dance - 3pm-6pm (ish)
Practicals
- Soft shoes with a bit of slip work best but aren't essential.
- Bring an extra layer or two if it’s cold - the space isn't heated.
- The pub has no direct road access - come by bike or on foot, or park in Iffley village on Mill Lane or Church Way and cross the river at the lock.
- We'll be out the back of the pub - ask at the bar if you can't find us.
- Other access info at https://www.theisisfarmhouse.co.uk/about.

So what's a bal?
A bal is a relaxed, continental folk dance and music session, for everyone. Musicians play, dancers dance, newcomers join, people meet, friends are made. Some dances are partnered, some are circles, some snake along in long, trancy lines. All are lively, soulful, and rich in spirit. At the Isis there's always a chance to grab a bowl of chips and make friends between dances, and some quiet space if you need it.
Bring your family, friends, children, your dog, and dance with us.
See you there! 🏳️‍🌈
