Founded in 1986 to
provide a regular forum for Balkan folklore enthusiasts, Balkanplus
organises monthly dances as well as the occasional dance workshop and
music event at Cecil Sharp House - home of the EFDSS. The "plus" tag
allows the inclusion of popular material beyond the borders of the
Balkans. Balkanplus has always enjoyed the support of Dunav and latterly by the
musicians of Vupros, too.
The monthly
dances take place, whenever possible, on the second Saturday of each
month, except August (no meeting). 7pm to 10pm in the lower hall
(Trefusis) at Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regents Park Road, London NW1 7AY
Entrance price
£5 or £7 (live music months). An annual £45 season
ticket is available
which also gives the holder preferential rates for other events.
Balkanplus has
successfully developed as the major regular Balkan dance event in
London, and we are always delighted to welcome enthusiasts from other
regions and countries. We also provide a venue for visiting dance
groups and musicians, and organise dance workshops by some of the
finest teachers. We look forward to greeting you.
Brian Dowsett.
