Subject: RE: Hornpipe, polka - what's the difference?
Then you have the American Contra (type) dance called Homassassa Hornpipe, which is danced to reels.
And 'Barley Reel' which goes well to slip jigs. In fact 'reel' can be used for a dance movement as well as a type of tune - weaving in and out,or a strip-the-willow.
