The Barn Dance has changed!

A barn dance is any kind of dance held in a barn, but usually involves traditional or folk music with traditional dancing derived from Schottische. The term “barn dance” is usually associated with family-oriented, community-oriented events… WAIT A MINUTE>>>>>> have you been to a barn dance lately?

SLAM on the brakes, smell the burning tires….sorry all, but a barn dance has CHANGED! Now more commonly referred to as keggar, rave, or barn bash…even our MSM Country Mouse puts on the bling for this amazing party!




Where once upon a time Barn Dances where for step-dance and socials, the modern barn dance is THEE place to be among the young set. Even the worst die-hard city dwellers are willing to risk those possible ‘funky fresh’ air {*ahem*} smells and savage beasts like chickens and cows for a tripped out keggar party!



Country kids know how to party! The best part? They have the location all the time. Clean up might be interesting though….but a little ‘mood’ lighting, some entertainment, friends and lots of ‘kegs’ the once barn is now party paradise. Did we mention music and dancing?



Two step? Sure if you really want to, but it might be hard to step-to-the-beat of the rockers on stage!


Note to the city slickers: No worries if you hear one of the ‘beasts’ making noise, just move closer to a good looking country kid! We’ll protect ya!
