Seth, Texas A&M uses the term "Howdy" and also "Fish Camp" and
both have square or hoedown dances for the freshman entering college. At no time do they
mention dance until they enter the hall. I call for several colleges, but it's always
thru Baptist or Methodist student ministry.

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

"Ceilidh," although hard to spell, does have cool Irish panache about it.
Perhaps "American Ceilid
I don't want to use 'Contra dance' because that is simply confusing - and it
won't be contra.
I don't want to just say "Dance" because then people will think like their
HS prom.
I know you, hive mind, have already dealt with this problem and have a fabulous solution
for it. What is it?
Also, any hints on blurbs? Here is my draft:
"American Ceilidh" is an active, engaging ice breaker that brings your group
together. All dances are taught quickly, and participants will moving to music in circles,
squares, and other formations in minutes. You can be certain that all involved will amble
away happy and eager to dance more!
