For more about Cornish Dance tradition visit the www.an-daras.com web site or look out for our book "Scoots Troyls and Tea treats " which gives a detailed history of the tradition together with the music and instructions for 45 dances. This is available from Francis Boutle Publishers. Troyl is a Cornish word for a reel, spin or a spiral - a pretty good description of a Barn Dance! Given enough warning we will include other social dances on request ....... .. on one notable occassion we even found ourselves doing a "Kangaroo Hop".. Below are some mp3 clips of Cornish dance music, click title to listen. |
