I think English Country Dancing is one of those aspects of an English Education that most of us would rather forget, WAV! You link to WIKI in this respect, which makes it quite plain that ECD was very much a bourgeois thing anyway, revived in the early 20th century by Cecil Sharp whereupon it was inflicted upon generations of hapless school-kids by strict matronly pedagogues who probably thought such pseudo rustic cavorting to be somehow good for our souls.

One would imagine that the adoption of the Ceilidh, and latterly eCeilidh, by a younger more dynamic & radical generation, is as much by way of disassociation as anything else; seeking for a more genuine form of social interaction which might include the best of the old steps with none of the genteel paternalism generally attending them.
