Editing Square dance (section)

==== Regional folk dances ====
Many traditional English regional folk dances are square dances that have survived into the 21st century. For instance, in both the Goathland square eight and the Cumberland square eight, which originated from different English villages, dancers perform a series of memorized moves in a square formation.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Goathland Square Eight|url=https://barndances.org.uk/detail.php?Title=Goathland_Square_Eight&List=Formation&Value=Square|access-date=2020-10-10|website=barndances.org.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Cumberland Square Eight|url=https://barndances.org.uk/detail.php?Title=cumberland_square_eight|access-date=2020-10-10|website=barndances.org.uk}}</ref> Many of these dances are danced at folk or barn dances, along with other types of square dances including Playford dances; dances derived from the quadrille, such as "La Russe" published by H.D. Willock in the ''Manual of Dancing'' ({{Circa|1847}}); American traditional square dances; and countless new square dances written in the 20th and 21st centuries.
