Bal Miniscule)

Welcome

Bal Miniscule is about dancing to live music - mainly in pubs! It's potentially very flexible in terms of music and dancing style but its "home culture" is in the tranditional social dances of France often referred to as Bal Folk but any dance for which you have the musicians, space and ability is worth a try! So, although this website keeps on talking about France and Bal Folk, don't let that cramp your style! 

For example see what happened when some Lindy Hop dancers found a session at the Oxford Folk Fringe

The musicians are very important and the good news is that quite a few of them are already in pubs playing great dance music. They call it a "session" and perhaps the only thing wrong is that there's no dancers!
