[Spellyans] Ballroom dancing

[Lowe Jenefer]

There is also a difference between 'hel' hall used for village halls
etc. and a plush ballroom in a hotel, which was where 'stevel dons' was
used in the newsletter.

I agree 'that stevel' may not be the best choice. However there is a
semantic distinction between a 'dance' and a 'ball'. A 'ball' is a type
of dance event. 

There is also a distinction between 'ballroom' and 'dance hall'.
'Ballroom dancing' entails dances such as the waltz, the foxtrot, the
tango and precludes hornpipes, reels, and breakdancing. More
suggestions, please.
Ol an gwella,
Jon

word indicates a chamber or dining-room; something a lot smaller than
the space required for ballroom dancing. 
	 
	Hence "hel dauncya"
