BalÔmômes

Balômômes invites young children to share a moment of dance around a selected repertoire of traditional music and dance. You can spin, stamp your feet and clap your hands, alone, with 2 or 4 friends, or more... You can play at the cat chasing the rats, at the jumping toads, at the paw-clapping weasel, at the show-off horses...

Thierry Bouffard, a pupil of Marcel Glever and a member of La Chavannée and the Ensemble Musique Traditionnelle de Nevers, will be leading young and old alike in rounds and other joyful dances. Thierry Bouffard holds a DEFA in traditional dance, and is often asked to run courses in the 'Centre-France style', which is very popular both in France and abroad.


The musicians 'Les Jeunes Pousses', young students from the Traditional Music Department of the Conservatoire de Musique et d'Art Dramatique de Nevers, backed up by top students from the old-time and bagpipe classes, will provide the musical accompaniment.
