Bal Folk Perth is a community dance group which has been running monthly dances (or ‘bals’) in the Perth hills since 2019. These events became so popular, they came down to Perth in April 2024 and are continuing to grow. The unofficial motto of Bal Folk Perth is “if you can walk, you can dance,” as this European folk style is accessible to all ages and abilities - for the people, from the people.
All of their bals have live music, performed on traditional instruments by skilled musicians. This music accompanies traditional folk dancing - akin to bush dances or English ceilidh.
