You mean theres a difference between English Ceilidh and English Country Dance?
• This depends on where you are: in the US, ‘English Country Dance’ (or ECD) refers to the graceful, stately, Playford-type dances and those you see in those Jane Austin TV series. There is a big difference between these and English Ceilidh. • In the UK there’s a difference in terms of the music, eCeilidh music is taken from all over, certainly not limited to tunes from the British Isles. On the other hand the term English Country Dance music does seem to imply that the tunes have English roots.
