Parts of A Folk Bal
There may be two parts in a Folk Bal.
- Initiation / Dance Workshop: Often at the start of a bal some dances are explained for people that are new to the dances. During an hour dances are explained. Group dances as well as couple dances are explained. All is done under musical accompaniment of a live folk musician.
- Bal: Folk musicians play for dancing. It is similar to a common party, except that in this case young and old dance together to live folk music.
