Booze isn't always a huge part of a kitchen party. Depends what time of day or night they are I guess. And the dancing tends to be step dancing or folk dancing, not couples dancing (although sometimes it is).
Here's a family oriented Acadian kitchen party in Grosse Coques, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, featuring dancers toward the end of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR8HMvnZiqQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player As you might be able to tell, Acadien French is very archaic and unique. You may also know that many Acadiens went down to Louisiana after the Expulsion in 1755 and became the present day Cajuns. I am from East Coast Acadien roots (Theriault is a common name down there, we arrived in present day Nova Scotia around 1635). But I digress: Kitchen parties are popular all over the East Coast from New Brunswick to Newfoundland.
