Dancing

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Am I right in thinking that in practical terms in England, there's no difference between a 'ceilidh' and a 'barn dance'?

I'm not entirely sure, because at least spliceruk has indicated that ceilidh dancing, even in England, is often simpler than barn dancing.

On the other hand, the one and only 'ceilidh' I've been to was an awful lot like the 'barn dances' I've been to (except that we didn't dance the Gay Gordons. I *like* the Gay Gordons.)

If you come to the ceilidh in London you get to do dances like Strip the Willow, The Gay Gordons, Military Two step, The Lady Godiva (must be seen :) ) they also do things like basket weaving, it's much fun and all the dances I learnt at school as well as lots of others.
