To those who have never been to a ceilidh, the idea of any kind of country dancing can be slightly daunting. Our act is designed for events where most of the guests are complete beginners.
From the word go, to take part in a ceilidh with us is easy and a lot of fun. Our range of dances is very diverse, with influences from all over the UK, Ireland and North America.
Our caller usually starts with the Gay Gordons or another simple dance like the Circassian Circle, and makes sure as many guests who are capable of standing get involved. After this initial icebreaker, it’s often difficult to get even the most reluctant punters to sit down again!
Other dances include the famous Strip the Willow, a raucous affair with lines of people stretching all the way down the room, the Virginia Reel for 4-5 couples in a set, the Pat-A-Cake-Polka for those who like to slap the thighs of other guests as well as their own, the OXO Reel, the Cumberland Square Eight, Flying Scotsman, Canadian Barndance and many more. A favourite with the gentlemen is the Dashing White Sergeant, in which a guy can dance with two ladies at once.
If you have a dance that you are particularly fond of, you can always request it in advance.
