Bal Étoile

Our regular balfolk twice a month. Come for a dance, a drink and a catch-up, old hands and new faces all very welcome. Feel free to bring instruments and play. We usually have a session starting at 7:30 pm followed by a short dance class around 8:00 pm, then a mixture of recorded music and more session.

We’re at Jamboree (6 Saint Chad’s Place, near Kings Cross) on the second Wednesday of the months. For our bals on the last Wednesday of the month we’re currently looking for a new venue, after our previous venue (The Gipsy Queen) unexpectedly closed, so the dates below are provisional.

We’re always excited to have new dancers and musicians, and the introductory dance lesson will help you get started.

Entry is usually free but please do buy drinks (don’t have to be alcoholic!) to support the venues so they’ll have us back! Bals at The Castle will be by donation to cover venue hire.
