I’ve started learning some barndancey tunes recently, and would like to learn more, but I’d like to learn them knowing what’s what. I notice that ceolachan has been posting a lot of info on these in the tunes section, and I’ve been reading with interest in the hope that I might be able to finally sort them all out in my head (I’m not a dancer and know nothing about the dances). I started a thread a while ago asking what barndances were.
