USEFUL INFORMATION FOR EVENT ORGANISERS THINKING OF HOLDING A BARN
DANCE
Holding a Barn Dance is one of
the best ways of solving your entertainment problem if you have to
cater for people of varying ages and abilities. The ONLY form of
Entertainment that can get IMMEDIATE AND INSTANT audience
involvement and FUN without any previous dancing experience, skill
or rhythm is a BARN DANCE.
A big advantage of a Barn Dance
is that you get the ULTIMATE SOCIAL MIXING EXPERIENCE---simple and
easy Dances are generally used to encourage beginners and those who
have not been to a Barn Dance before.
A Barn Dance is absolutely ideal
for people who have little or no Dancing skills because most of the
movements are natural to all of us---like linking your arm with
someone else or holding hands to form a circle, you see these
things happening every day--- for example in a School playground.
Generally the Dances and
movements used at a Barn Dance are hundreds of years old and have
been passed down through generations, CONTINUING TO BE POPULAR
because they are easy to use, simple and fun.
Dancing is in couples and in
sets ranging from 2 couples to 10 couples or more---in Circles,
Squares or Longways---numbers dont really matter as long as there
are enough people to fill up your Dancing space.
Each Barn Dance last around 10
to 15 minutes including a walk through by the Barn Dance Caller to
learn the steps and changes---the Barn Dance Event can be run for 3
or 4 hours with breaks between Dances of around 10 minutes.
The breaks between Dances allow
you to get your breath back and socialise with friends whilst
listening to background music which keep the toes tapping away
whilst looking forward to the next Dance.
To ensure your guests at the
Barn Dance know what to do your Barn Dance Caller for the evening is
your MC, Teacher and Instructor, using his knowledge and experience
to decide which Dances best suit the audience as regards speed and
complexity, CALLING out changes in movements as they occur during
each Barn Dance.
When the Dancers progress under
the Instructions of the Barn Dance Caller during the evening to more
complicated Dances never worry about remembering the movements and
changes---it is the job of the Barn Dance Caller to remind everyone
what to do--when to do it and who do it with! This is why he will
often politely refuse offers of large amounts of alcohol! If he cant
remember what to do---you have no chance!
The Music at a Social Barn Dance
event will be a mixture of mainly traditional tunes drawn from
England, Scotland, Ireland and America and also sometimes popular
Second World War tunes from the 1940s all of which give an excellent
atmosphere for not only Dancing but also Singing.
The Music at a Barn Dance to
accompany the Dancing is played either through a Sound System using
recorded Music or if your budget allows a Live Band is used.
A Barn Dance can be held in most
locations as mentioned above, Clothing can be casual and for an
authentic evening Straw or Cowboy Hats and colourful Check Shirts
always brighten up the Barn Dance as well as providing an excellent
reason for presenting PRIZES to the best dressed Lady/Gent OR
Boy/Girl at the Barn Dance, in addition to a PRIZE for the Best
Dancers.
Barn Dance footwear should be
comfortable to allow for twisting and turning and dancing on less
than perfect surfaces.
