I'm working on a blurb to convince administrators at a local college to include barn dancing/community dancing as part of their orientation program.

I'm trying to come up with the best name for it.

"Community Dance" doesn't feel like a good fit, it is not open to the community, it is for the incoming Freshman and/or their student leaders.

"Barn Dance" has me worried about hokey/uncool - setting up students to be opposed to it from the beginning.

"Ceilidh," although hard to spell, does have cool Irish panache about it. Perhaps "American Ceilidh"?
