Catalan term or phrase: esbart
In reference to "Renaixença" folk culture revival projects:
"...des dels cors de Clavé a les capelles parroquials passant pels esbarts, les cobles i les colles sardanistes"

I've got "esbart" defined as "party of dancers". Here's the question: does anyone know if this is more akin to "dance troupe" or "dance party". Thanks in advance

Gràcies Quim, Sí, "troupe" era la meva primera inclinació, tot i que, esperava que la "party of dancers" fos una mica més com a "festa dansaire". Però això va arribar més tard, suposo... Gràcies

  -> Sí, Martin, tens raó. Ja ho he corregit en una nota que he afegit posteriorment.

agree  Paul Hirsh: tambe fa falta "e": troupe, el angles utilitza la ortografia francesa

  -> sí, tens raó ...era d'hora i no hi era! Millor que plegui, avui, tu! Però gràcies per estar d'acord amb la meva proposta. Quim

Good feedback. But I've already used "association" for something else in the same sentence, so I'm going with "troupe". Thanks for your help! - PB

agree  Berni Armstrong: There is an active "Esbart" in my town. They organise dances and also host dancers from around the world. I think it was once quite a movement.

(traditional Catalan) dance group


Explanation:
I think I'd simply say 'dance group', 'traditional Catalan dance group' or '(Catalan) folk dance group'.
