We’ll be dancing ceilidh (pronounced KAY-lee) for most of the evening, a lively Scottish/Irish social dance that grew out of Gaelic house-visits and community gatherings and is now best known for its easy, music-led group dances. No experience is required: a caller teaches each figure, the steps are simple, and the point is to have fun rather than be perfect. Wear comfortable shoes, be ready to swap partners and walk in lines/circles, and don’t worry if you need to stand out of a dance for a moment. If you want to go the extra mile, these websites are great starting points: one for a super-short step primer, and one with quick video demos you can watch in five or ten minutes. Our website here won't let us make external links, so you'll have to copy/paste like the good ol' days.
