Welcome back to the enchanting Round Chapel in the heart of Hackney. We can't wait to host our Family Barn Dances again!

About The Dancing
Altough called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all traditional and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves! We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music! Simple, good, old fashioned fun, although tweaked and modified by ourselves - 21st Century Barn Dance! You really don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go.

Diversity and Inclusivity Policy
Whilst the music and dances come from predominantly Anglo-saxon and Celtic culture, everyone is welcome to come enjoy the dancing and experience these aspects of the folk culture of the British Isles. We welcome family units of any type and configuration. We want to bring everyone together to dance together, which is how it should be.
