Folk ball in Chambéry
4 upcoming events
Trad and folk dances in Chambéry mean live music — accordion, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes — and everyone up dancing: mazurka, scottische, bourrée, circle dances, waltz, an-dro. We gather the dances, the fest-noz, the sung balls and the dance workshops, in community halls, village halls, guinguettes and festivals.
No need to know the steps or to bring a partner: most dances start with a quick lesson and the rest you pick up on the floor. Many are pay-what-you-can. The next date is right below, updated every day.

Frequently asked questions
What's a trad (or folk) dance in Chambéry?
An evening of traditional dancing to live acoustic music. You dance in circles, in pairs or in chains (mazurka, scottische, bourrée, circle dances…), and the feel is friendly and shared rather than stage-and-audience.
Do I need to know how to dance to go to a trad dance in Chambéry?
No. Most events run a short lesson at the start of the night, and the dances are quick to pick up on the spot. You can come on your own — partners swap around all evening.
Are trad dances free in Chambéry?
Many are pay-what-you-can or cost just a few euros (a hat passed round for the musicians). The price is shown on every event.
