Revision as of 19:16, 29 January 2007

There are two categories here because music that's good for dancing to isn't always the best for practice. The practice section should remain a listing of tunes/collections suited for use in practice sessions. These selections may also be just fine for dancing to in a more public setting but there are frequently more "attractive" pieces that can be used. Obviously the placement of a given work is subjective.

For dancing

Music that really gets your toes to tapping and makes you want to get up and dance.

Ceili

For practice

Music that's easy to follow and good for use in practice sessions.
