The thing about traditional dancing of any kind in the british isles and Ireland is they are all very similar. dancing is no respecter of borders and dance steps move around just like the tunes do. The big difference is all to do with whats happend to the tradtion in that area. In England its really nearly all been rediscovered and that seems to show in the way they are danced. perhaps a little more self concious and not so "articulate" as say the dancers in Ireland where there has been virtually and unbroken tradition. Its the same here in wales. following the religous revivals of the nineteenth century traditional music and dance virtually died out and the dances have been rediscovered. Its down to good hard work by a committed band here that it is growing again. Mind you its only last year I was told by a local chapel here in Wales that teaching children simple country dancing was sinful and that i should stop it.!!

Anyway i do think is hard to suppose just where dance stepes start.
