Main Types of Square Dances
Terminology: In America, in general, people go to square dances to do square dances and call it square dancing. In England, Ireland and Scotland people go to all sorts of dances at which some of the dances will be square dances, but they don’t say that they are “square dancing”.
Conversely, people not familiar with the various different forms of dance may ask for a evening of square dance meaning simply a barn dance where many different formations of dance are used. It is possible to go to one of these “square dances” and not do a single actual square dance all evening!
