barn dances
Country square dance socials
Barn dances are social gatherings featuring country or folk dancing, traditionally held in barns or other rustic venues.
The dancing typically involves square dances, line dances, or other choreographed group formations with a caller directing the steps.
The term also refers to the style of dancing itself: We learned some barn dances at summer camp.
These events remain popular at community gatherings, weddings, and harvest celebrations.
