Our Repertoire of Dances

Since 2008 when Old South Balls started, our dance repertoire has grown significantly. We've used over thirty different contra, ceilidh, and English country dances, striving to keep them historical, fun, and wholesome.

While we keep adding to our list, we're only able to dance approximately twenty dances at each ball.  Here is the list of dances we've learned over the years.
