The London Barndance Company

Zesty music, high-energy dance, swing, twirl, gipsy meltdown!

This is the place for great dancing - American-style contras and squares, with a few trad and modern numbers thrown in for good measure. Top-class bands drive the dance, and clever callers guide the moves.

All this is The London Barndance Company - a lively dance community based near Regents Park in London. Founded in 1982, a 'mid-Atlantic' style soon developed with most evenings including a mixture of squares, contras and patter calls. London Barndance is in the forefront of the Contra wave that is sweeping across the UK energising dancers and musicians alike, and most of our events in 2007 will be in the contra style.

You don't need to be a dance expert to enjoy London Barndance events, and you don't need to come with a partner as most of our regular dancers like to change partners after each dance. Don't be shy: get on the floor and have a go!

Links to the left of this page will take you to information about the style of dance, our current programme, and how to find us. We hope you enjoy the website and look forward to meeting you in the dance!
