$Irish\/Scottish Ceilidh Dance$

Ceilidh (“kay-lee”) means a "social gathering" and is a vital part of the Celtic culture in Scotland and Ireland. Everyone can take part, young or old, experienced dancers to beginners and even those with two left feet! A major reason ceilidh dancing is such fun is the rousing music, dancing in a group and round the room. Have no fear - Sheila and Stephen will lead you through each dance/jig/reel.
Delicious scones, shortbread, tea, coffee & beer served in the Winstub to sustain your energy!
Welcome to an afternoon of Scottish & Irish ceilidh dancing! A truly authentic experience for beginners and experts - bring a friend for more ‘craic’ (fun), and be sure to make a new friend as you weave your way through a series of jigs and reels. We are very honoured to have Sheila Roberts and Stephen Clandillon, who will provide bilingual explanations of the dances and then call the dances to guide you through each step. We are also very grateful to have live music by the Hueber Brothers, musicians with the groups Excalembour, Black Kelsch and Quatr' Quart.
This promises to be a great afternoon, sharing a moment of fun & laughter, learning to dance and experiencing a wealth of Scottish & Irish culture.
We are expecting a big turnout, so sign up quickly (using the HelloAsso link provided) to avoid disappointment.
If you would rather listen to the music and watch the dance, there is a Winstub where you can sit and chat. We need to keep the dance floor clear, so young children should be accompanied at all times and they are welcome to entertain themselves with colouring and games in the Winstub.
Scones & shortbread will be served with tea and coffee; beer for those with an extra thirst. Water and apple juice will also be available for kids.
Grab some comfortable shoes to dance the afternoon away….a sure way to get your steps in!
