Balfa Week is back! Balfa Week classes are immersive, multi-day lessons and workshops that have you studying face-to-face with master musicians, cooks, and craftspeople in a nature-based setting. Spontaneous jamming puts you knee-to-knee with musicians of all levels from master to novice players.
Schedule a one-to-one lesson with your favorite staff musician to dig deeper into a tune that’s stuck in your head. Discuss the creative process with Louisiana folk crafts artists. Learn about Louisiana cooking during classes with regional chefs. Imagine yourself peeling a pile of crawfish. Then head to the nightly barn dances to test out new moves you practiced in class with new friends. Play. Dance Eat. Repeat. That’s Balfa Week!
Plan now to be a part of the Folk Roots family during the 2023 Dewey Balfa Cajun and Creole Heritage Week in Eunice LA. Come for the whole week or drop in for a day! Evening dances are also open to the public with a donation. For more information, visit their website.
