– Slow music to dance to all night long

Deirdre and Joost from Slowfeet Studio give a dance workshop in Slow Bal. It is a playful and elegant partner dance from the 1940s to slow jazz music from that time. Slow Ball is a Swing dance, just like the more famous Charleston and Lindy Hop. Although Slow Balboa was originally a romantic dance, today it is more about the connection you make with your partner and the music. Regardless of whether that’s your partner, a casual acquaintance, or even someone you’ve never met!
6:15 PM Mahers Kitchen Buffet open (optional)
20.00 Start Slow Ball Workshop
8.45 pm End of workshop, start of free dancing

Participation in the workshop is free. No need to bring a partner!
Before the workshop there is the opportunity to eat at Maher’s Kitchen (yummy!). Book by Thursday via the website of De Doelen!
