Barn Dance
​Our barn dances - sometimes referred to as 'Square Dances' or 'Hoe Down' cater for many types of functions. Popular for celebrations, birthday parties, fundraising at clubs or local groups who are after a bit of good wholesome 'craic' suitable for the whole family.
The Barn Dance is a great way to get people engaged with one another, people who wouldn't normally spend time with other people in their team or group. As such they are a great social ice breaker. Do not worry if you have two left feet, your caller for the event, Marc - plays the keyboards and calls the music live.
A typical barn dance set would be approx 2.5 hours long with a break in the middle for a rest and some refreshments. All that is required is a good space for dancing (Church hall, function room etc) and willing participants.

What is Barn Dancing to a live caller all about?
​The set dancing generally requires groups of 6 or 8 people, don't worry if you haven't got a partner to dance with, we will soon get the whole crowd mingling together.
​It's all about the craic so it doesn't matter if you are male, female, older or still in your youth, you will be guaranteed a good night.
​The dances can be easily taught by our caller Marc in a few minutes and once you get the hang of it you'll be on the floor all night
​You will soon pick up the basic moves to set dancing. We will have you 'dosey do'ing and swinging your partner in no time.
