At the recent Folk Weekend Oxford, I found 2 opportunities to dance in music sessions which was very nice. It's quite rare though – often music sessions don't have enough room for dancing, the floor isn't right or there's no one to dance with. I'm sure some of the musicians would love to be "accompanied" by some people dancing? So I got to thinking that with just a tiny bit more organisation it could happen more often? EG, in some parts of the country, there are "Skittle Alleys" with excellent floors and these areas are often empty. I'm sure I've been to occasional music and dance sessions at the Somerset Arms in Cheltenham Anyone interested in trying to make more of this happen?
