The SOAS French FolkDance Society was formed in 2010 by Cassandre Balosso-Bardin and David Heath, after they met at the Chateau d’Ars. Famous for their Clandestine Mazurka sessions in Regents Park and other venues, they have now changed their name, and venue, as they're not at SOAS anymore! https://www.facebook.com/londonbalfolk
