The Prairie Barn Dance list is for dancers to tell each other what is going on. Contra dancers, square dancers, Scottish and English country dancers and anyone involved in related activities are invited to subscribe and to post. (Even those Morris dancers? Sure, why not!)
Geographically, we cover roughly the northern half of the Central Time Zone in the United States.
