Hoedown/Pioneer Trek Music and Dance Instruction – Free Download

Here are half a dozen tunes that you can use if you want to have a hoedown, barn dance, or pioneer trek dance. These are traditional tunes meant for dancing. We are fortunate to have Jeanette Geslison, Mark’s wife, teaching these dances. Jeanette directs the International BYU Folk Dance Ensemble.

Watch the videos to learn how to teach and call the dances. Then download the dance instructions and music, and have a hoedown!
