Le Grande Bal de l'Europe

 

Xfinity, our cable provider, occasionally offers a few days of free streaming of various premium channels.  This week it includes a French streaming service, TV5 Monde.  Scanning the offerings, a 2018 film called Le Grand Bal caught my attention, and I looked around for more info about the event that it documents, Le Grand Bal de l'Europe, https://www.gennetines.org/en/ . 

Looks like the 2023 Grand Bal is going on right now.  Here are a few short videos from  previous years.  In the first one, just after the 8 min timestamp, you may recognize a short clip of "L'homme Que Marche".  If you search youtube for "Le Grand Bal de l'Europe", you can find a lot more clips, if you're interested.

Came across this article in Eric Zorn's Picayune Sentinel:

 A veteran traditional dance caller (me) bids farewell to “gents” and “ladies”

The short video of contra dancing accompanying the article included a couple of familiar faces (Hi, Charles & Michele!)
