Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Do I need a barn to have a barn dance?

No.  You need a room large enough for the band, caller and dancers.  A village hall, community centre, the back room of a pub or the O2 Arena would all be suitable venues.

• Do I need to be able to dance to enjoy a barn dance?

No, the caller will guide everyone through the dances.  If you can count and walk you can do a barn dance.  Knowing left from right is an advantage, but not essential.

No, we will provide a caller, and a PA system if necessary.
