Dance Music

Main Page < Irish Dance Wiki < Resources < Dance Music

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 practice

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