EuroBal Wessex: Dorchester, No.28
12 September 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Join us for another friendly evening of French and Euro dance and music in Dorchester; a chance to dance to fine live music, and enjoy simple comforts in company. Bring a partner, an instrument, or just yourself and enjoy some Balfolk tunes and dances.
As ever, musicians are welcome to join the scratch band (new tunebook link in the discussion), novice dancers are invited to learn some basic steps at the workshop before the main Bal, and old friends who already know the steps can help at the workshop, or just come for the Bal.
Workshop: 7pm
Bal: 8pm – 10.30
Bal: 8pm – 10.30
Kitchen facilities and hot drinks are available, but bring your own drinks and nibbles. There are a pub and a convenience shop opposite.
