I was thinking of saying "trad dance," but then I remembered I made my bandmates listen to "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon and "Sailing with the Tide" by Bellowhead as part of a discussion on arrangement, so I thought I'd leave the question more open-ended.
In the interest of fairness, I'll play too: I've been listening to John Playford's Secret Ball by Belshazzar's Feast, The Lost Words: Spell Songs, and a lot of We Banjo 3. Plus some Metamora, in the "oldie but goodie" category. :) I'm going to look up that Eric Merrill album today. Thanks!
