Dance - Ceilidh Dance - CANCELLED

This class is now cancelled.
If you have enrolled, you should contact us to arrange an alternative or claim a refund.

Suitable for people at any level, from those who have never danced before to more experienced ceilidh dancers. Relaxing, sociable, fun, and a great way to keep fit. There is an informal approach to the class and the emphasis is on learning the basics in a fun and safe way, whilst retaining the spirit of the dance.

No partner necessary. Wear flat, comfortable shoes.

Mixed Instrument - Ceilidh Caleerie Ceilidh Band 7pm

The Scots Music Group’s ceilidh band will work on their current repertoire, add some new sets and play for dancing! New folk and instruments are particularly welcome, and there will be time in class for new recruits to work at their own pace. We will also be looking at rhythms, harmonies, accompaniments and working on the skills needed to play together as a band. There will be many opportunities to play for dancing at community events.

New folk and instruments are particularly welcome.
