What is another word for hoedown?
Pronunciation: [hˈə͡ʊda͡ʊn] (IPA) 
Hoedown is a term that frequently refers to a lively country dance party, typically characterized by traditional square dancing, lively fiddle tunes, and festive drinking. However, there are other terms that can be used to describe this type of gathering. Synonyms for hoedown include barn dance, square dance, country dance, jig, and hootenanny. A barn dance is typically a gathering held in a barn, and usually features the same upbeat music and dancing as a hoedown.

A hootenanny is a more informal gathering where people play music and sing together, often around a bonfire.
