There is an initial learning curve.
Classes and tuition are available for dancers of all levels from beginner to experienced.

  The dances can be danced in long sets (with dancers in parallel lines opposite each other), square sets or in sets around the room.
A country dance has a number of formations which are arranged in different sequences for each dance.  Most dances are progressive, which means that the sequence is danced and the dancer finishes in a different place in the set and then repeats the dance from the new position.
