BALFOLK MUSIC & DANCING
Kryva Kosa is a Toronto-based folk band formed by members of the Kosa Folk Arts community. We play music from Ukraine, Finland, Lithuania and Rezija, creating a unique blend of sound and song that reflects our diverse musical traditions. In Ukrainian, Kryva Kosa means “crooked scythe”. In many places the scythe brings the harvest and, across cultures, expressive folk music also helps nourish and connect us and sustain our survival. But folk music is not just performed- it’s a community affair that is meant to be experienced! We invite you to participate in some lively dancing- we'll teach you. Join us as we carry the timeless melodies and movements of European folk music into the present day. Together we’ll create a space where music, culture and community come together.
Balfolk dancing is popular social dancing from Western Europe, a recent revival of traditional, mostly French, folk dances.
Bourrées, jigues, gavotte, mazurkas, waltzes, scottishes: some partner dances, some group dances, some snakey chain dances.
They are all fun and easy to learn, you don’t need any partners or prior experience. We’ll show you how!
We always dance to live music: fiddles, accordions, clarinets and more…
Balfolk is a term used in the last 50 years to describe popular social folk dancing in Western Europe. It includes old traditional dances from a variety of French and western European regions, as well as modern tunes influenced by many styles composed for people to dance to. Balfolk is not definable as ONE style, but rather an umbrella term for many ways of dancing and playing for a huge repertoire of dances.
Balfolk Toronto was started by Tangi Ropars and Emilyn Stam in the spring of 2013, with our first big bal in March of 2014 and weekly dances on Mondays almost every Monday since 2013. Since then many people have contributed to the development of our community!
7pm: Tune Learning Session AKA Slow Jam with Cassie Norton
8pm: Dance! With live music
The Tune Learning Session AKA Slow Jam is a pay what you can weekly workshop open to all people who are interested in playing balfolk music, but are either completely new to it, or find our dance jams a little too fast to pick up the tunes. We will learn a couple of tunes per week (maximum 2) and review tunes from previous weeks at each session. We will learn all tunes by ear, very slowly, first singing and then playing. ALL instruments are welcome, including the voice! Hope to see you at the session soon.
Pay What You Can! Suggested $10.

PROM REUNION AT SUPER WONDER GALLERY
PROM REUNION AT SUPER WONDER GALLERY
TO THE CLASS WHO SURVIVED HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT GOOGLE. Dust
Off Your Dancing Shoes (and Maybe Your Dignity): You're Invited to the Prom Reunion!
Alright, listen up, Class of [1969 to 2022]!
Remember prom? That magical night filled with awkward slow dances, questionable fashion choices, and enough hairspray to keep the ozone layer safe for decades? Well, get ready to relive the glory (and maybe cringe a little) because the Super Wonder Gallery High School Prom Reunion is happening!
That's right, we're dragging ourselves out of the comfortable ruts we've carved in our couches and forcing ourselves to socialize with the people we swore we'd never see again! (Just kidding... mostly.)
What to expect:
The Music: We're talking ALL the hits . Prepare yourself for a heavy dose of boy bands, questionable grunge, and enough slow jams to make you question all your life choices. We'll even take requests... within reason. (No, we're not playing "Baby Shark".)
The Fashion: Embrace the nostalgia! Break out your old prom dress (if you dare!), rock your best (or worst) attire, or just come as you are. We promise not to judge... too harshly. (Okay, maybe a little.)
The Food: We're skipping the rubber chicken and opting for something slightly more edible. Think appetizers, desserts, and a bar to dull the memories (and loosen those dance moves).
The People: Catch up with old friends, reconnect with former crushes, and hopefully avoid any awkward run-ins with that guy who spiked the punch bowl back in the day.
Why you should come:
Because you haven't seen [That person who peaked in high school] in years and you're dying to know what they're up to now.
Because you want to prove you're not the same nerdy kid you were back then (even if you totally are).
Because you need a night out that doesn't involve changing diapers or arguing about whose turn it is to take out the trash.
Because let's be honest, you're probably curious to see how everyone else has aged.
Don't Miss Out!
Tickets are $20 online and .$30 at the door.
Seriously, don't be the person who's sitting at home scrolling through Instagram, wishing they were there. Come, celebrate, and relive the (slightly embarrassing) memories of our high school glory days!
P.S. Braces are optional. But please, for the love of all that is holy, leave the butterfly clips at home.
P.P.S. We are not responsible for any awkward dance-offs or rekindled romances. Enter at your own risk
We can't wait to see you there!
