A Cèilidh is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering. In its most basic form, it simply means a social visit. In contemporary usage, it usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. Dancing at Cèilidhs is usually in the form of Cèilidh dances, set dances or couple dances.

The effervescent Gary Elford will lead the dance with a grounded foundation of dance calling, you will be guided in safe hands and knowledge to achieve the patterns and moves whilst having fun in the dances. No prior knowledge is needed, enthusiasm for an entertaining workout will encourage you to participate.
